Comment on Clair Obscur's Composer Talks Going From Unknown To Scoring 2025's Most Celebrated RPG
Coelacanth@feddit.nu 4 days agoI’m drunk on recency bias myself but I’m tempted to put him in Uematsu tier myself. I know that sounds outrageous but it’s actually that good. Even the lyrics are absolutely amazing. It will probably end up being my favourite OST of all time.
And there’s 8 fucking hours of it and not a single weak track!?

I just started the game last night. Holy shit that opening prologue was incredible, and the music did so much for the atmosphere of loss/melancholy.

It somehow just keeps getting better too. Super strong leitmotif work as well, throughout the game. And like I mentioned, even if you don’t speak french try looking up translations for the lyrics (but after you finished the game). Some really beautiful passages, but steeped in foreshadowing and spoilers.

Yeah I’m French, and during the game there are several moments where I’m hearing part of some lyrics where I’m “wait a second, is the music actually spoiling the plot?”

I wish I hadn’t fumbled my french fluency over the past decade and a half as I still had to go back multiple times and re-listen and read the lyrics to understand them. And also the male singer on the OST sounds like he’s not a native french speaker so that makes it even harder to pick out.
But yeah, maybe it was for the best that I didn’t understand right away in the end!
