There needs to be a Japanese Dark Souls.

It's Nioh and it came out like two weeks ago.

Actually I guess it might be a little more like Demon than Dark since there are discrete missions. Kind of like a Monster Hunter thing but with actually good combat and cool poo poo.

There's a ton of great western soundtracks but they're mostly indie games. That being said, nobody does orchestral arrangements better than Japan

Shout out to the sound design in Breath of the Wild

the GDC presentation, where they talk about the minimal but expressive sound design of BOTW is really cool. the main idea was to have the music compliment the sound effects that would be happening in game (e.g. strikes and damage for combat, jumping running and climbing for exploration), and the feeling the player would have, without overshadowing either.

There are some really effective "conventional" music tracks as well, though some are short. The beginning of the game, Hyrule Castle, even the load screen.
