The way Mihoyo fails or take worrisome decisions toward their main game makes me question them heavily, but I totally agree at how amazing their OSTs are, each of their games have a rich musical uniqueness that I highly appreciate, each time I watch their orchestral sessions a heavy knot forms in my throat and my eyes get teary.

A shamshir (Persian: شمشیر) is a type of Persian/Iranian sword with a radical curve. The name is derived from the shamshīr, which means "sword" in the Persian language. Right as Swirls of Shamshir starts we hear the instruments Sitar and Oud playing in an orderly fashion, like a duet, both complementing each other. This is really neat because what exactly is a swordplay? It is a duet. A dance between two swords as neither can perform without the other. I'm 100% sure it's gonna be a combat/battle music.

This is why I will always 100% support them, this music just really seals the deal for why Genshin is my all-time favorite gacha and part of my top 5 favorite games of all-time. It makes it feel good knowing that whatever money thrown at them is probably supporting this music

[@Attor715]

Same! Was discussing how I was buying the albums for Genshin Music on iTunes and my friend was telling me it was more expensive than alternate methods but honestly, I genuinely don't mind because the money is continuously funding this game and this amazing music. Absolutely love the music in this game.

PS if you love quality music in gatcha games, I would recommend you play Blue Archive as well

[@erlkonig1412]

In this era where traditional music is almost die (because younger generation love modern music than traditional), Hoyoverse still trying to make it alive. Other games might have good music too, but none of them is trying to preserve traditional music like Hoyoverse did. That's why I love Genshin music so much and I will always support them for this particular reason

As a Chinese ,I think the greatness of Genshin is not only in bringing together so many powerful musical elements,but also in its 100% tolerance and love for the music of various regions and countries.

The man, the myth, the legend Yu-Peng Chen himself has once again graced the mortal world with his genius compositions. No doubt in my mind that he is going to be hailed in the future as a one of a kind talent of his generation for being able to fuse European and modern instruments with traditional Asian ones.

@@rykerthetiny7881 I played in an orchestra too. As long as youre having fun and having enough time to practice, no piece will be hard. The technique for practicing our orchestra used is separate groups first (flutes, violins, etc.) then big groups (woodwinds, strings, etc.), and then the full orchestra. When everyone is playing, it just sounds so much better

Genshin music is a literal revolution to the musical industry, it beautifully combines classical orchestral music and the current style of music, by adding elements and beats of the new generation's EDM, this hidden masterpiece in the virtual world of Teyvet, unbeknownst to most people... idk why i just went of like Kazuha but seriously tho Yu-Peng Chen and HOYO-MIX has outdone themselves again, this music that has practically brought me into the game in the first place is still exceding our expectations with every new song, completely shattering the any thoughts we had about how the last one was the best of Yu-Peng Chen and HOYO-MIX
