More downgrades...(Pandaemonium Savage spoilers)

The fact it took only 3 minutes for someone to try and shame you because of your disappointment in the music is actually kind of wild lmao.

People will defend this game to their last breath, even if it means getting dirty.

"Man it kinda sucks that this raid tier only got 2 songs."

"Oh so you don't care that Soken was suffering from cancer?"

They even used "Soken had cancer you know". Trying to imply that OP is some kind of monster.

So just found out that the p2 of P4s doesnt even have a new theme... its the same theme. We're only getting 2 new songs in this raid tier as opposed to Eden's what, 3-4? Along with no voice acting. How many more downgrades at this rate jesus...

I mean, its not like EW totally happened during a global pandemic and Japan itself completely locked down for months forcing them to transition their entire development team to a work from home.....Oh and Soken had cancer and was composing songs while in the hospital......Forgive me if I'm a little more lenient than usual towards the overall product of EW, especially given the massive scale of the story being the epic end of an 8 year arc.

Yeah, it's a textbook example of gaslighting.

Soundtrack in general was quite unimaginative and mediocre this expansion - except for the 1st dark ambient'ish "rendition" of Ultima Thule theme, I really liked it. Too bad they just had to change it to the generic InSpIrAtIoNaL normie soft-rock. Hehe.

Especially in comparison with recently released SMT V . . .

Actually, I'm probably wrong but it seems there are two composers this time around, and Soken wasn't even listed in the credits:

I probably somehow didn't see him.

It's rather emotionally manipulative, but it isn't gaslighting. Gaslighting involves making someone question their own perception of reality.

That muffled instrumental Ultima Thule theme was perfect for the area. I was told, although I haven't had chance to check for myself yet, that if you New Game+ any of the Shadowbringer story it will reset the Ultima Thule area music.

Edit: Yeah it works, if you're gathering or FATE grinding there, start a Shadowbringers NG+ up and the music will reset.

They took a 6-7 month delay to account for any problems and were working at 90% efficiency before said delay. Soken having cancer is very unfortunate and i’m happy he got better, but to constantly use it to block any criticism is incredibly wrong and manipulative. They have other composers, he isn’t the only one. Considering how long we waited for this expansion there’s really no excuse.

The delay was QA/bug testing and other stuff. You're not developing or adding new content in 7 months.

I believe the official statement was it was for the expansion period. Irregardless my other points still stand. Using soken as a scapegoat is horrible when someone even has the credits posted above of the other composers.
