    It's time to start a war. Today, we're ranking the Soulsborne games via their overall soundtracks! I get the feeling I'll need to avoid this comment section, but I hope you all find some enjoyment here! Let me know your favourite tracks down below~!

    • @LudwigZand
      @LudwigZand Před 4 měsíci +2

      No war to be had Billy ;) My favorite is Bloodborne by far but it would be quite boring if we all agreed on that. Differing opinions make the world more interesting.
      I'll just share my favorite OST from each game:
      1 Demon's Souls (PS3): Old Hero
      2 Demon's Souls (Remake): Tower Knight
      3 Dark Souls: Manus, Father of the Abyss (who coincidentally also happens to be my favorite boss)
      4 Dark Souls 2: Sinh, the Slumbering Dragon (probably my favorite OST in the entire Dark Souls trilogy)
      5 Dark Souls 3: Nameless King
      6 Bloodborne: Lady Maria (the thrash metal of orchestral music)
      7 Sekiro: Great Shinobi Owl
      8 Elden Ring: Godrick, the Grafted
      Also, shoutout to Oblivion's soundtrack. It has so many soothing, peaceful tracks. Probably my second favorite soundtrack after Bloodborne.

      my problem with bbs soundtrack is that its great on its own, but really its just one genre, gothic dark orchestra using the same musical scales in the entire album, on a music composition and talent level, bb is easily at the bottom of the list imo compared to musical composition masterpieces like elden ring and ds1, almost every song is completely different while in bb u can copy paste alot of songs around and it would work with the setting/boss pretty much.

    A point you forgot to mention about Elden Ring, is the fact that there’s actual music playing while exploring. Not just during boss fights.
    The Limgrave OST is already super nostalgic to me and has a special place in my heart. The music from the various regions suits them all so well. Liurnia’s music feels kinda mystical and wondrous. Caelid’s fits so well with the distorted, rotted world. And Leyndell’s feels grand and important. Etc.

    4- Dark souls 2
    5- Sekiro
    6- Dark souls 1
    7- Demon's souls
    I find ER music super underrated, what makes it my favorite is how varied it is, It feels like it offers alot of different instumental layering and it tries it's best to fit whatever it's tied to, especially in the main bosses. Also the ambiance music is absolutely chef kiss, my favorite of all time, I can't get enough of Leyndell and Elphael's theme, such a masterpiece.
    Same goes for DS2, I'm a bit biased because I love somber tracks more, and ds2 does that to perfection, the music feels like it truly conveys what dark souls is about, hopelessness and darkness, It's much better and more memorable than DS1 for me, that main menu theme will never fail to sooth me.

    I love Great Shinobi Owl. It’s the only *boss* theme composed by Noriyuki Asakura (if you consider the Great Colored Carp as a boss then that would be two boss themes), who composed the ost for Tenchu- which Sekiro is a spiritual successor to. It’s fitting since Owl is Wolf’s trainer and Tenchu is, in a sense, Sekiro’s trainer.

    Most people judges music in souls games from a very sentimental and one focused approach. "Ludwig best song, but but but plin plin plon best song". One song doesn't makes an album, and DS3 can be a clasic music album sold along a game. The meme element and epicness of each boss music, even the most boring of its bosses, is musically a great job that deserves to be praised.

    Great video, and I respect your rankings! Funny enough, my favorite OST is the original Demon's Souls game from 2009 *because* of how experimental it was. So many tracks are steeped in atmosphere, and while some boss themes sound strange and unpleasant, they add to the game's surreal tone (I equate the sound to something you would hear from a bad dream you can't wake up from). The bosses' diverse range of music styles make them memorable as well. Lastly, the bad ending and good ending tracks are amazing. I just wanted to shout those two out!

    I'd argue that "Epilogue" is the best credits theme, I'm not joking when I say that I've NEVER skipped the credits of DS3 because of it. It was the PERFECT track to end such an incredible trilogy of games on, it has a somber sense of finality and closure to it that as so immensely powerful. It and "The First Hunter" are two of the best tracks in all of gaming.
    My Ranking:
    1. Dark Souls 3
    2. Elden Ring
    3. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
    4. Bloodborne
    5. Dark Souls
    6. Dark Souls 2
    7. Demon's Souls
    The reason that Dark Souls is so low is because while it's great, outside of a few gems (Gwyn, O&S, Artorias) it feels like they were still getting their footing imo, however with Bloodborne (and particularly the DLC soundtrack) is when they hit their stride. Then they released Dark Souls 3, whose soundtrack was basically a gift from the gods. It's not that the games that came after it are downhill, it's just that DS3 set the bar INCREDIBLY HIGH that it's borderline impossible to top.

    First of all - BANGER video topic, I could talk about souls music for years, secondly before watching here's my ranking:
    1st - Bloodborne: it just perfectly speaks to everything I want from a soundtrack, you can accurately understand the bosses backstory just from listening to their boss music - Gascoigne, Maria, Lawrence are incredible, Gehrman and Ludwig are gaming perfection. Also I just adore lovecraftian horror tones, sue me.
    2nd - Dark Souls 3: borderline perfect, Vordt, Pontiff, Yhorm, firelink, princes, SoC, nameless, FRIEDE, GAEL - like seriously there's so much quality, even stuff like deacons get amazing music, and my god I didn't even mention abyss watchers, but the only reason it's not number 1 is because the highs of Bloodborne might not be as plentiful, but are just sheer perfection
    3rd - Elden Ring: by far the most epic, but I think the sheer amount of random watchdogs and duelists and crystalians kind of drag it down a little, stuff like Godfrey and mogh and radagon are insanely epic though
    4th - Dark Souls 1: Sif, OnS and a few more being top quality, and plin plin plon is goated
    5th - Dark Souls 2: Majula is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, as well a few bangers like Alonne
    6th - Demon Souls: it's literally only higher because both versions of Astrea's theme are absolutely amazing, otherwise it would be last
    7th - Sekiro: love the game, and the soundtrack fits the gameplay amazingly, but I've never been back to listen to any OST piece here, it's just very good mood music rather than anything iconic

    Surprised Bloodborne isn't in first place. Mainly because the choirs always have Latin words that paint out a story (with some obvious grammar mistakes).

    Can’t believe you didn’t mention “The Owl” (father’s theme) in the sekiro section. Overall the ost might average lower but that’s one of my favourites in any of the games

    I had to subscribe just because of the Bloodborne ranking, I'm so tired of people suckling the grease straight out of BB's asshole about literally everything so seeing it ranked as middle of the pack - where it deserves to be - is a breath of fresh air. Always good to encourage people that form opinions of their own, not those that get theirs from Reddit and other such circlejerks.

  • @LourdessApekatt
    @LourdessApekatt Před 4 měsíci +1

    If I had to pick my top 3 tracks from each game(excluding demon's souls because I haven't really listened to it) it would be following:

    1. Ornstein & Smough
    2. Taurus Demon(I'm dead serious)
    3. Gaping Dragon
    *DS2:*
    1. Burnt Ivory King
    2. Old Dragonslayer
    3. Ruin Sentinel
    *DS3:*
    1. Darkeater Midir
    2. Demon Prince
    3. Dragonslayer Armour
    *Bloodborne*
    1. Laurence, the first Vicar
    2. Lady Maria
    3. Living Failures

    3. Emma, the Gentle Blade
    *Elden Ring:*

  • @akechijubeimitsuhide
    @akechijubeimitsuhide Před 4 měsíci +1

    - Old King Allant's OG theme with the pipe organ is so much better than the remake. You could play it in a concert or a church and pass it off as a "lesser known baroque piece".
    - Sekiro has good ambient music but I can barely recall any boss themes. I have Sword Saint in my playlist but that's about it.
    - DS2 again... I remember Sir Alonne's theme and Majula, and that's about it.
    - DS1 has a few good ones but the plin plin plon is EXTREMELY overrated. I don't like piano to begin with.
    - DS3, Bloodborne and Elden Ring and pretty much just pure eargasm.

  • @r3dn3ck3r3
    @r3dn3ck3r3 Před 4 měsíci +1

    I think that I saw a lot stuff that FromSoftware did wrong&right in one or other of their games , but I don't remember I ever saw a dispute about quality of soundtrack presented in their games as it is universally praised. For me most favourite is Elden Ring (Fortissax), least - but still enjoyable - Sekiro.

  • @hohepriestersulyvahn1749
    @hohepriestersulyvahn1749 Před 4 měsíci

    Dark Souls has my favourite tracks, too and I would also extol Wolnir's and Sullyvahn's theme.
    Bloodborne's OST is absolutely stunning, too.

  • @Marco1995Mega
    @Marco1995Mega Před 4 měsíci +1

    I personally like all the soundtracks, but DS3 and Elden Ring in particular stand out, and I would've placed Sekiro a spot or two higher. DS1 has strong highs with the likes of Gwyn and O&S, but also a lot of meh or kinda-decent tracks that unfortunately blend into one another a bit too much (Gargoyles, Four Kings, Iron Golem, Gaping Dragon, etc.). I also find that even its highs neither hit as strongly as those of From's later repertoire nor do they have the best long-term appeal. Them ambient tracks, tho.
    Bloodborne's OST is really good, but I do find that some of its boss tracks have a similar problem of being too similar to one another. That said, it has some of the series' highest highs.
    I've always found it weird how often DS3 was called out for having tracks that are too similar to one another, and while I think it has a small smidgen of truth to it, I always felt it suffered from it less than everything that preceded it. Yes, big orchestra and choirs are prevalent, but they did an excellent job of giving each track its atmosphere and emotional response, not to mention varying tones and tempos. The somber and tragic Abyss Watchers and Oceiros; the holy but insidious Deacons of the Deep; the bombastic menace of Vordt and Dragonslayer Armour; the more composed menace of Dancer and Gundyr; the contrasting phases of Pontiff, Soul of Cinder, and Sister Friede; and the boss themes that share a mixture of it all with ones like Gael, Twin Princes, and Nameless King.
    Overall, this would be my ranking:
    7. DS2
    6. DS1
    5. Sekiro
    4. Demon's Souls
    3. Bloodborne
    2. DS3
    1. ER

  • @redbeardkingdom6890
    @redbeardkingdom6890 Před 4 měsíci

    Midir has one of favorite themes

  • @minerman60101
    @minerman60101 Před 4 měsíci

    I'll ignore ranking the games' against each other and just list my favorites of each:
    Demon's Souls: Return to Slumber (this game has two spectacular credits songs, Elden Ring only has one okay credits song and I'm still mad about it)
    Dark Souls: Nameless Song (this just tied the whole experience together and left me satisfied in spite of some of the lows like Bed of Chaos)
    Sekiro (ambient): Fountainhead Palace
    Sekiro (boss): Owl Father (especially phase 2 while playing against Inner Father, his mist raven combos pair perfectly with it)
    Elden Ring (ambient): Leyndell, Royal Capital
    Elden Ring (boss): hard battle between Mohg, Lord of Blood and Starscourge Radahn.
    I have not played enough DS2 to have a complete opinion, DS3 is still going for $42 with DLC on steam which I don't feel like paying, and Sony has decided for me that I don't get to play Bloodborne.

  • @chargemeupbois
    @chargemeupbois Před 4 měsíci

    FINALLY
    MY IDEA (Bloodborne Vid if I'm correct) IS EXISTENT
    I love DS3 music the most. It's a mixture of Elden Ring's grandeur, Bloodborne's horror, DS1's simplicity, and DS2's...continued complexity and relaxing power. In my opinion, Demon Souls is a really cool soundtrack due to the fact that there are two variations, each so similar and different. I preferred Maiden Astraiya and Storm King in DeSR and Allant in DeS Og
    To be honest, i'm just a passionate musicer. Bloodborne is my second favorite.

    Super great ranking. I can already hear the bursts of anger from the fanbois.
    My own ranking is little different.
    ER > DS3 > BB > Sekiro
    Haven't played others.
    Gehrman is my favourite boss OST of all.
    But DS3 main theme is the best musical piece ever created by FS.
    ER just has most 10/10 pieces of all games, I don't care about the junk.

  • @questionablezoomer764
    @questionablezoomer764 Před 4 měsíci +4

    1. Bloodborne (Tbh DS1 and DS3 was really close to be tied with Bloodborne, but I figured I couldn't have 3 games tied in one spot, besides, Bloodborne is like a mix of the atmospheric themes from DS1 and the epic oens from DS3, so it seemed fitting to just place Bloodborne at the very top).
    2. Dark Souls 1 / Dark Souls 3 (I honestly can't choose which i loved more, DS1 is much more magical and atmospheric, but DS3 has such epic themes that it can compete with DS1).
    There's quite a big gap between the ones I've already covered and the rest of the list...
    3. Dark Souls 2 (underrated)
    4. Demon's Souls (also underrated, the original to be precise, the remake is kinda generic)
    5. Sekiro (Emma's track and the area ambiences carries Sekiro's OST to not be at the bottom. There's also other bangers like Isshin and Genichiro).
    6. Elden Ring (Eh it's okay. My problem is there are way too many missed opportunities for original themes for like the Radagon theme, only for it to reuse the main theme, etc. I can't look at that and not judge and compare it to other FromSoftware games without saying it's not up to their usual standards, and even a bit lazy for them).

    @xxlordtinchoxx9015 Před 3 měsíci

    my top
    7- demon souls: never played it so idk
    6- ds2: not many memorable soundtracks, except for the hub tho, my favourite hub music in soulsborne
    5- sekiro: the style fits the game very well but it also makes themes pretty hard to differentiate from one another and only few stand like gyobu, owl or isshin
    4- ds1: absolutely banger of a soundtrack with some of the most iconic songs in all soulsborne like gwyn (in my opinion, the best soulsborne ost) or orstein & smough, really iconic but only for a few, not that consistent
    3- ds3: amazing and really consistent ost troughout the entire game, like i could keep and keep listing bosses and their music, my favourite thing about dark souls 3´s soundtrack is how well they tie into the characters. sullyvahn, nameless king, dancer, midir,etc... and the BANGERS gael, twin princes, abyss watchers
    2- elden ring: take the consistency of ds3 with a different more grandious and mystical take. this is the newest game aswell and it shows in radagon, malenia, placidaxus, elden beast
    1- bloodborne: no ost feats their setting as well as bloodborne´s with its dark gothic victorian-ish musical style with masterpieces like living failures, ludwig, gherman.

    2. Bloodborne (the most consistent ost here, only rom's theme is forgettable, i can remember all the rest and gehrman's theme is my all time favourite in the series)
    3. Elden Ring/DS1 (can't decide between the two, both are equally consistent)
    4. OG Demon Souls ( has some of the best calm themes in the series)
    5. Sekiro (similar to DS2, but slightly more consistent)
    6. DS2 (some very good themes, but not all of them stand out as much)
    7. Demon Souls remake (they disrespected the maiden in black theme)

  • @btarczy5067
    @btarczy5067 Před 4 měsíci

    To me Souls music never gets annoying but to my ear many of the boss themes while fitting in context don’t stand on their own. There are a few notable exceptions like the Dancer theme but the only tracks I like even outside of the game are the more subdued hub themes and some of the ambient music in Elden Ring.
    If I want to get hyped up a bit I much prefer electronic music and good as it is, Souls can’t cut through that bias.

    I Wonder, about For Eventual Next Video/s...
    On These Games Characters That We Wish were Bosses, and
    Obvious Mysteries, that are still Somehow Unsolved. Even when
    People Have Ideas, theories, and ETC.
    Like in Demon's Souls The Old one as actual BOSS, and the 6-th Stone and It's Mystery.
    Also What Eve else we Have in the Other games. Maybe And IF These Characters, were BOSSES,
    The Question of How They Could or would work.
    For The Old one... Probably Projectiles, Spells, Miracles, AOEs, And ETC...
    Something Like that.
