Recommend some OST's?

[Valic]

I'm making a house with a lot of mason work, blacksmithing, and etc themes. Was wondering what you could suggest for an OST to loop? Trying to make it a suitable RP environment, I'm between "Full Fathom Five" and "Relax and Reflect" atm. Any suggestions?

Why not both?
Personally I prefer to set up playlists instead of just letting one song loop - gives you a bit of variety and lowers the chance that you'll end up hating the song you pick!

Given your general theme I could see a playlist involving the two songs you picked aswell as some of the following. I could image all of them as something a smith could listen to in the background - they're also all more on the "relaxing" side of things, which I feel might be better suited for an RP enviroment - not that I know much about that, but I image you dont want anything to distracting?

Anyways - here is my list for songs I would include in such a playlist:
Wailer and Waterwheels
Songs of Salt and Suffering
Navigator's Glory
Saltswept
Woe That is Madness

All have a certain rythm to them that makes me think of someone bashing a hammer on a piece of steel (or rather: they have a rythm that I could see being good for beating steel!) while being rather calm at the same time. Only exception is Woe That is Madness which is a bit more "aggressive", but still quite relaxing and suited for times when stuff in the forge gets really heated!

Smoulder is one of my favorite tracks its always on in my house

Ohhh I always wondered how limsa's 1.0 theme sounded. I can prolly use some of these, you're right they give the vibe of beating steel. I might only use a couple of these for the sake of not hearing some of the same stuff we here in the open world too often as is or that a couple are liek you said, too aggressive. You gave me the idea to use night themes too!

I feel like t gives off too much of a tribal vibe or else I would, ty for reminding me about beast tribe stuff though!


Still taking suggestions if anyone has ideas. It'll be like a shop you can buy armor/weaponry and etc at, but also a forge.

Sound wise I'd go with something that is rhythmic, moderate tempo, and energetic sounding. Those traits, I feel, would capture what is seen in blacksmithing. The steady beating of metal, the energy to endure hard labor, and a pace that represents determination but not urgency.

What I got on my Orchestration is:
Shadows Withral (Smooth Jazz!)
Dancing Mad- Movement IV (My favorite part of Dancing Mad)
Against the Wind (Coerthas Western Highlands) I love this zones music
Black and White (Coerthas Western Highlands Night)
The Mushroomery (Apparently this is a remix of FF1?)
A Thousand Faces (I like the choir)
Ultima (I like the choir, it has a strong melody and is about the only thing I look forward to in the The Praetorium)

[Enkidoh]

The Mushroomery (Apparently this is a remix of FF1?))

It is, it was originally just called Matoya's Cave - this is the original FFI version. But yeah it's from the very first FF game (and one of it's most iconic tracks to boot).

As for my personal Orchestrion playlist, I've created two - one for the Orchestrion out in the lobby of the FC I co-run with my bf, and one in my private room:

FC playlist

Prelude ~ Discoveries
Whisper of the Land
The Edge
A Father's Pride
Answers
Dragonsong
Revolutions
Shadowbringers

My personal playlist is basically the ARR and 1.0 city themes, plus a couple of extras:

Navigator's Glory ~ The Theme of Limsa Lominsa
I am the Sea
Born of the Boughs ~ The Theme of Gridania
Wailers and Waterwheels
The Twin Faces of Fate ~ The Theme of Ul'dah
A New Hope
On Windy Meadows
Trisection (I couldn't resist it, it's one of my favourite FF Tactics themes ).

I do swap other tracks in from time to time, but those are my main playlists.
