ShadowBringers Battle Theme

I kinda wish the music in the first half of the Job intro video would be the battle theme :3

Look, I like fantasy music, and unlike many that think "we've had enough so it's time for a change", I strongly believe the fantasy orchestral genre can be taken literally anywhere and can sound different without going the lengths of making it garage-level very soft punk rock.

Before the high notes at about 25 seconds start screeching their incredibly dull not-melody, I can almost hear Dexter Holland singing about his "friends" that "hate" their parents.

I love rock. I've played rock before, all kinds. While we're no stranger to rock themes, I think it would serve better as some random primal, like Sephirot, or a raid, like Alex's wacky tunes. As "the song you'll hear the first 30 seconds of, over and over"? Nah. As a standalone rock song? It's just... bland. It doesn't really pick up. It just stays flat all throughout. There's no low point, no high point, nothing to go crazy about.

It's actually very reminiscent of 1.0's battle theme's incredibly annoying first 30 seconds! Hey! Maybe that's why it's there! Look at the SCH AF in Shadowbringers. Maybe they thought: "Let's make a battle theme in the veins of 1.0's." Except 1.0's battle theme, in all of its weirdness, had tempo changes, a breakdown, and memorable parts.

The bass in this will make you a real man.

It's okay, it sounds super simple and almost like an newbie band practicing lol.
The intro is wayyyy too long though before it gets better.

It's going to feel really jarring to go from the ambient locale themes to this every time a mob aggros.

I agree, this track sounds great.

Overall I like the sound of the song, but I feel as the main overworld battle theme it really needs that intro to be nowhere that long. Cut the intro time by... at least 1/2 to 3/4 and I think it would be a better main battle theme.

[Violet_Galaxy]

That's incredibly jarring and inappropriate for a battle theme and just sounds really generic. I hope this is not a sign of the rest of the OST because I really enjoyed the job trailer theme and was hoping it would be along those lines.

Thankfully, we can turn that battle music off. I have mine off already anyway, but if I didn't, that would make me do it. It's definitely not up to the standards of the other music in the game, IMO.

I think it's pretty good, better and SB and HW battle theme!
