FFXV site updates with trailer music
- Thread starter sn00zer
- Start date
The OST will very likely be fully orchestrated as far as instruments go, that we can be pretty sure of (I mean, they even went ahead and orchestrated KHII's OST in 2.5 HD Remix even though that was just an HD remaster, no reason why a PS4 game wouldn't be fully orchestrated), but she might add some variety by having some more electronic tracks in the game.I wonder if every piece in the game will be a full freaking orchestra with real instruments.
I sure hope so. Fuck synthetic sounds
Also yeah Violin for lyfe

It is not a matter of beating, but more a matter or combining the given elements elegantly to reach the highest level of bliss that could possible be attained.

The second part is just so good. It even reminds me of Gaur Plains of Xenoblade, with FF Prelude added to the end of the piece.

The part where it transitions into a sort of waltz destroys me in the best way every time,
Isn't music one of, like, the most common things to cause ASMR to people? Didn't think people getting huge feels for music would be that surprising to anyone.Wow, I've never ASMR'd off music before! That's interesting

what is this asmr
Synths are real instruments!
I really hope they use real strings and brass constantly for the orchestral songs. They're doing it for KH2.5, so I'm pretty confident.

Let me google for you, "im feeling lucky", with ASMR being the searched term

Re: orchestral vs synthetic composition: That's what FFXII was. Or at least, in concept, if not in execution. Orchestral as a term applies a lot more to the instrumentation than it does to if it's fake or real instruments. You can have orchestral with real or fake instruments. You can also have non-orchestral (e.g. EDM, rock, big band, whatever) with real or fake instruments. Orchestral is a term w.r.t. genre. Real or fake is a term w.r.t. sound quality.
Still better than "somnus lacrima" and "somnus nomura" in the same sentence though

This thread got me to rewatch every single Versus XIII/XV trailer. All of them are still great. Interesting seeing how the character designs evolved over the years.

Pssh, I still accidentally spell Nomura namura sometimes, thank God my phone remembered Nomura and even capitalizes it. I'll need to type out Shimomura enough times for that to never happen again. Lol, my bad.
While I think that the newest trailer misses the magic of the others , the music is the least criticized thing from me, love it. They are definitely all still great.

Thank god I've been listening to the trailer with the voices for the music, 1:10-2:34, over 1000 repeats lol. Now someone has to upload a youtube video so I can repeat it.
There's a recreation online that actually does some parts better than the original. Kinda strange.
I was just referring sound quality and usage of traditional instruments and performers.
All the music on this trailer was "real" right ?
you worked on it IIRC
I hope so ,but I won't necessarily count on it.
It might just too expensive or time consuming.
No. One of the things that's common in the typical Hollywood fashion today is you layer stuff like additional strings or string sample libraries behind to get an even richer sound. Trade secret. To answer your question in a more layman/practical way though, as far as what you hear out in front goes, yes.
More generally, you'd be amazed what sample libraries sound like nowadays. The advancements in the past 4-5 years alone are mind-blowing.

The best in the business basically keep abreast of all of this stuff and use it to beef up the sound whenever it's called for. Jason Graves works with his own custom sound libraries in addition for example.
edit:
No, it means subtly layering sample library strings behind the real ones (sequenced to match the real ones in performance) gives you a sound you can't generally get from just recordings alone and it's become part of the sound of a lot of film music nowadays. (Thanks Hans Zimmer!)
So in a sense there is no "need" to produce the additional strings in the background because there are stock versions of it available ? Did I get this right ?Interesting.
These two pieces are superb.
However that dude/lady who recreated them on Youtube, made them longer.
I kind of got used to those versions now:
MILITIS VAGUS recreated
GRATIA MUNDI recreated

FFXV's OST is going to be something special. Based Shimomura.

I honestly like the original better. Someone put the original on YouTube already so I can listen on repeat!
Yeah man, ever since TGS, i can't stop listening to it.
And i like Militis Vagus too, reminds of Soul Calibur.
For KH and the old Versus trailers, it was Kaoru Wada. He's an amazing orchestrator
More recently for KH2.5 and this trailer, Shota Nakama of VGO orchestrated. He also did Hamauzu's stuff on Lightning Returns.

0:54-2:00 here I come.
How will society ever cope, with a couple of mistitled tracks that will get rectified once the game and the OST is out?! HOW?!

Think about more tracks such as these coming soon when XV releases...
It's dream time.

They won't. They streets are already on fire and Nomura's already been kicked off for his antics.
Somnus Nomura

A guy re-created this track almost perfectly just after the trailer came out and I've had it as my ring tone on my phone ever since. Hopefully we get the MP3 of this real version early so I can replace it. Such a good track! D:
Requiescat in Pace, Nomura.
