Basically this. I have just realized that as a guy whos teens where in the 00’s, my musical ear has been groomed by awesome videogames with great soundtracks, like Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Gran Turismo, later Need For Speed and some FIFA. But what’s the equivalent in today’s time?
I’ve bought a FIFA and a NFS recently, but the soundtracks are… OK-ish, I guess? I enjoyed the some Rocket League’s season, though.
Octopath Traveler’s soundtrack is amazing. Only current/last gen soundtrack I own. The variety of styles and themes for the different paths and areas really helps make each one unique, and the battle themes are some of the best JRPGs have to offer.
