I love how French music is always so painfully French, know what I mean?

[@Ezullof]

I mean, this music is a stereotype. I'm French but I've lived abroad, and I know exactly where it comes from: 1950s-1960s cinema. We do not in fact listen to accordion all day. Funnily enough, for french people, the painfully French music would either be Edith Piaf or Lully.

[@AnAngelineer]

It's nice to hear the French theme focus on more modern instruments and melodies. In several previous civ games, the theme is often based on medieval/renaissance France, but even we French people don't really know much about our own music before Louis XIV. ...Whereas if you have some accordion and a few notes referencing "La Marseillaise" in there. Everyone gets it. XD

[@RandomStuff-zw7uh]

Because this is specifically for the modern France.

[@noaxhmr]

Even with that the first half is based on Le Bouvier, a medieval song

[@Rikiki-x8s]

Sauf que cela dure les trois premières secondes, ensuite cela ne ressemble à pas grand chose, même le bouvier ?! et en aucun cas à notre culture, d'ailleurs les instruments employés ne sont pas les bons.

There is a mix between a few french music, like La Marseillaise, and Ah! Ça ira ( Gojira played it at the Jeux Olympiques de Paris), and a big part is from Le Bouvier, an occitan/french song

[@pmbartoli919]

It is inspired by Le Bouvier! I read it somewhere else, and after having listened to the same song, it's indeed the case.

[@pablor.sepulveda9929]

La Marseillaise, Ça Ira and Le Bouvier

[@MarklovesKurisutaru]

This is the faction I was waiting for! So excited for this game, I really hope it plays well and remembers the fantasy and romantics that makes this series shine. The music definitely makes me think so, lets hope the gameplay and general vibe maintain that...

[@mzmaster]

Roland Rizzo definitely loves buildups, haha! But honestly, this is amazing! Maybe it’s recency bias, but I think this is even better than the Civ 6 French theme

[@Highretrogamelord]

The woman on the top who is holding the French flag gives me Théroigne de Méricourt vibes, but maybe that's because I played AC: Unity recently. (I'm not saying she is, just giving me the vibes) Really nice music, at points reminds me of the Sorceress Town Theme from Heroes of Might & Magic 2.

[@KN-dg7pp]

I just noticed that the beginning is based on lo Boier! Wow amazing!!

[@mr.vercotti9509]

Though I love this theme, I wish it sounded more…imperial. I know it has an orchestral arrangement, but the medieval/renaissance tune just sounds anachronistic for an industrial empire. I wish they drew more inspiration from the nationalist music of French 19th century composers.

[@rageus4731]

As always, the modern era music is the best in the game.

I'm glad France is back in game. Along with Napoleon bonaparte (dlc) who returns to this franchise after a 13 year absence. And it would be nice to add "Gaul(antiquity age) and Franks(exploration age )" for DLC as well. (I want to not play as Norman They are just descendants of Vikings. and they are more like William the Conqueror)

I was hoping for something more Berlioz. Something like "Marche au supplice" from Symphonie Fantastique. Y'all should look it up if you're not familiar with it. It's really, REALLY effing French!

Alright, well, Egypt and Greece were never empires, Egypt had several kingdoms or was dominated by an empire, and Greece was a collection of political entities united around one dominant culture. But I do agree with you about Spain and other inconsistencies.

@@Screwthenewhandlesystem Because it isn't the French Republic or the Kingdom of France but the Imperial Regime under Napoleon.

[@Screwthenewhandlesystem]

@@Shannovian I think you may have confused my point, I was agreeing that the French Empire is fitting, I think it isn’t fitting for the Spanish Empire to be simply named Spain. However, Greece makes sense since it was never an empire, but rather a series of similar cultures.
