Alpha First Look: Video 4 - The Black Shroud II

[Soukyuu]

Alpha is the time to make sure you point out things that look like problems. If for some reason they do not see it as a problem then they won't fix it and you cannot assume that anything is considered to be not be final. Being alpha is exactly the reason one should complain, it is easier to fix now rather than later.

While that's true, and YoshiP tells the devs that having an apologetic mindset of "it's only alpha" is not allowed (read the interview translations), complaining about stuff that they already said is not implemented yet (= animations) doesn't do any good.

Doesn't mean it's not the actual music for the zones. You can hear some of it used as BGM in the live letters.

My whole point is that it doesn't mean anything. We'd have to ask alpha players but they aren't allowed to talk about it.

Thank you for pointing that out. That's fine, if they've actually noted they are working on that particular aspect. I had not seen that bit of info.

My goodness, Every time I see a video I keep thinking I can't get impressed further, and then ya'll release another one and that's exactly what happens. This game is amazing, and Soken, you might just debunk Uematsu as my favorite video game composer, all of the music so far has been enchanting. The amount of detail and difference is astounding. I cannot wait, I simply cannot wait to log into this world and have the time of my life.

I don't think the music is the music for the shroud, it is just music they are playing over the video.

I'm pretty sure this is the music for the zone, it fits in very well and on top of that I don't see any reason why they would be showcasing these videos with the incorrect music for the zone, makes little sense.

Giant turtles at :33 are pretty neat, they seem to make sound when you get near them. Or they just make sound, not sure.

Looks absolutely stunning, there's more variety in the Black Shroud alone than there was in the entire world of 1.0! It's truly amazing. I can't wait to see it for myself soon, to see the enhanced environments and the enhanced gameplay! The wait is almost unbearable!

The sound starts randomly in one zone and carrys over to the next with no Transition so it was defiantly edited in. I do like it though.

There is no constraint that says you have to play a particular piece of music over a video. I'd be willing to bet that if they showed the other cities tomorrow that the music would be the same. I'm really just saying we have no reason to be sure, although we might and I've just missed it.

(And honestly I'm not really impressed by this particular piece of music.)

I'm really surprised there would be adamantoises so close to the starting zone. YoshiP seemed to be intimidated by them when he was doing the Live Letter, so I'm guessing they might have one-shoted him.
