Keiichi Okabe - Prelude Of Showdown

[@MySoulYourBeats]

These tracks you're listening are from a mobile game called SINoALICE and composed by Keiichi Okabe who well-known as composer and music director for NieR soundtrack. Beside that, Yoko Taro (who is NieR's game director) is also the game director of SINoALICE

Keiichi Okabe and his fellow composers at Okabe's studio MONACA have won the Best Score and Music Award twice at The Game Awards, in 2017 for NieR:Automata and in 2021 in NieR Replicant. They went up against the best the world has to offer in game music, and came out on top twice. Very impressive.

[@trevorveillette8415]

They are the best in the industry for video game music. Only people they gotta beat are themselves. Triple A games don't have good scores at all generally. Just ambient background music usually. The songs are never meant to stand out. They're more like set pieces. Okabes and Monacas music tells stories, emotions, act as set pieces, and also stand very well on their own. Bros a titan in the game music industry in terms of achievement.

[@Zorothex5152]

@@trevorveillette8415 Fire Emblem would like a word though. IMO. Fire Emblem is the single franchise who's their most impressive opponent, there's a few more probably. But I'd claim Fire Emblem Three Houses has music very similar to this OST right here, and truly has some of the best music in gaming history.

[@trevorveillette8415]

@@Zorothex5152 I've heard good things about fire emblem in general, but come on now about the music. Even if it's good, competing with the NieR games? NieR crushes absolutely legendary franchises like Final fantasy, God of war, elder scrolls, and dark souls for music to name only a sliver. NieR is basically the modern monolith of game music, there's nothing really competing on its level. It's just a fight to be called 2nd best. And certainly there's no unanimous people's vote that establishes a factual best game soundtrack ever, but there's absolutely no way there's another game franchise out there that gets its music as highly praised as NieRs. The franchise survived and is alive practically because of the music. Also the amazing story and characters in each game too, but it certainly wouldn't have survived without the music to accompany it. And 2nd best is arbitrary since there's 2 main NieR games. Like i said, their biggest competition is themselves. There's no higher standard or harder comparison than comparing their new works to their own previously established crown jewels of music. They've got a legacy to uphold. And nobody will be more critical of their music than the fans too. I've seen some oldhead gestalt fans absolutely rip into replicant ver 1.22s ost for basically no reason. Just absolutely shitting on it.

[@trevorveillette8415]

@@Zorothex5152 and if I need to validate my statement. You say fire emblems music is like this videos music. So SINoALICE. Fire emblems music is like SINoALICE. A mobile game. A mobile game who's music is done by the same people who did the NieR series OST. Which are fully realized games rather than mobile ones. So if a mobile games soundtrack is this good, then take this as the base, and imagine how much better it gets when the composers have an actual full game to work with. This sounds amazing, certainly. But comparing it to actual NieR songs of similar type and it just gets blown away. Especially by automatas ost since it's more dramatic and bombastic in general. Dark colossus kaiju, grandma destruction, dependant weakling, possessed by a disease, birth of a wish, sound of the end, a beautiful song, crumbling lies (front). Those are just the main big action songs I'm naming. I'm ignoring stuff like bipolar nightmare and wretched weaponry or end of the unknown since those are either not strictly battle music, or aren't orchestrated and meant to be more loopable songs.

Parts of this song sound very familiar to me, while still retaining that unique Okabe style. I don't know how this madman does it, but everything he produces just sounds phenomenal. As an example of what I mean by parts sounding familiar, though: - 2:47 sounds very much like it belongs in Dragon's Dogma. I love it. - 3:14 is basically Battle on the Big Bridge from FFXV's soundtrack and it's amazing. This one makes a lot of sense though, because Okabe did actually produce that track in the DLC.

The bad part for me at least is that the GvG is obligatory, so, you'll have to play it everyday for 20 minutes and grind during your free time to boost your equipment to get stronger (and there is some pay to win issues there too).

It may have something to do with the fact that white color often symbolizes purity when it's given a metaphorical meaning. And that would make a lot of sense in the context of his work either ironically or non-ironically. Nier would probably fall under the first category while 2B would most likely be the best example of the latter. But as it tends to be with Japanese works of art, if the symbolism isn't too explicit then it probably isn't symbolism to begin with.

Fun fact: Today, September 11th, 2022, this video got the most viewed in this channel with 6.9M views. Can't you see? Keiichi Okabe had conquered this whole channel 😂

[@ShiiroHasu]

I want an action RPG-style SINoALICE game so much

[@mellamosteve331]

Oh please! Fighting with the guild would be crazy epic!

[@halcyon8239]

Forget that, Arc System Works SINoALICE fighting game is the one I want. I can directly kick the Three Little Pigs' asses as Alice this way

[@karinhimawan1841]

ask any SINoALICE player what they think about this song, (almost) all of them would say that this song invokes some kind of despair just because this is the song they used for monthly PvP guild event XD but no shit, this song is a banger indeed

[@Seblak]

For real. I Just found this in recommended without realicing it was the colo theme, and I inmediatelly had flashbacks of our guild being stomped lol

[@augustusfeldmann8100]

Been a while since I heard a song and just instantly liked it. Beautifully done.

[@ajterestria517]

Has anyone ever cried listening to songs this beautiful?

[@Neonvarun]

Excited : Yes.

[@Voeris1]

Shadowlord's Castle - Memory :x (purely from the soundtrack... hadn't played the game yet)

[@zyang9699]

Beautifully composed!! 😍

[@greenady]

3:10 is really Keiichi Okabe signature music, he using same drum beat like in Nier Automata OST

[@matteste]

Fresh blood stains her white hair, and her white dress is dyed a deep red. Snow proceeds, even as the Nightmare’s death knells bore into her heart. Those who would obstruct the resurrection of her master. They are all evil. That is because she cannot possibly be mistaken. Justice. That is the name of the merciless flame that resides within Snow.

[@Stinger20638]

This sounds like a mix of nier automata and berserk's My brother theme

[@kordiall]

exactly

[@tomyyoung2624]

yeees the musiccccc aughhhh

[@orfeas8]

Jesus what did he make....? This is epic..

[@KaroxNightshade]

So much playlist material comes from this type of stuff. I don't know why game soundtracks are always better than actual artists' songs but nothing will beat this, or Bury the Light, or Kaleidoscopic Core. I love it so much.

[@hydemary3040]

More SINoALICE OST's PLEASE!!!

[@gabrielsalvatore3156]

Okabe... You are the best.

[@FaithoftheAir3]

This video sent me into a spiral of learning wtf neir was, drakenguard was, and many others. I regret nothing

[@themorbidhero2987]

Play the flippin game(s)!

[@jaydenjones4404]

I can't vouch for Drakengard but I can for Nier. Play the 2 games asap. The music is amazing

[@leprifacioncustard4921]

@@jaydenjones4404 oof the story of nier automata was heavy

[@jaydenjones4404]

@@leprifacioncustard4921 It sure was. It was definitely a gaming experience I won't ever forget. I think I can truthfully say it was my #2 gaming experience of all time right behind the masterpiece that is called Halo 3.

[@nicoary3677]

Drakengad 1 and NieR Gestalt is more heavy than Automata...

[@callel3239]

It's winter schnee on this artwork? Elle est magnifique. I love the epic second song, elle me rend brave. Quand j'ai vue music by Keiichi Okabe, j'ai su que ce serait gradiose, this man is a legendary compositeur.

[@Niyuki.]

It seems, but isn't her. That's a character from SINoALICE.

[@eggrollplatter2543]

It’s Snow White from SINoALICE I believe

[@callel3239]

Thanks, je pensais bien m'être trompé.

[@zenchiassassin283]

Mélange de langues xD

[@Park-d6s]

Winter has a smaller sword. That sword would most likely belong to qrow if it was Winter or RWBY related

[@ronaldreaganhateaccount2839]

first time i am actually hyped for a mobile game... let's hope it comes to us and europe soon

[@puchol3888]

Glad I quit the game, but the music is so incredibly good and enduring the pain with the guildmates was fun back in the day

[@bastianemmanuelberriosvill4482]

RIP sinoalice

[@Keln02]

Keichi rocks. Period.

[@OkumanTanja]

Snow or Blood, White or Red, Apple or Sword, Disney or Grimm,

[@blue_lux]

Hotel? Trivago

[@whelperw]

Radiance or Grimm

[@classicunpleased2439]

Iz dat fuken RWBY reference?

[@miral6694]

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brothers_Grimm RWBY is chock full of references to mythology and fantasy/fairy stories. The name of the Grimm is just one of those. I believe they were referencing the original brothers here, as that makes a lot more sense to contrast with Disney. :)

[@shirori2004]

@@classicunpleased2439 yes yes it is.

[@melz2195]

keiichi okabe what a mad lad

[@lelouchvibritannia6157]

This song is the only reason I play Colosseum everyday in Sinoalice.

[@katherinegarlock2249]

Weiss with a true greatsword. I like it!

[@ammar_d2705]

[@greyturner3114]

And here we stand, The outcome we'll never find. All of us may fall and gone, But knowing we fought, still worth it. Oh these wretched land!

[@nene_san]

i clicked moment i saw keiichi okabe.....its worth to be good coz its his work n u bet it is

[@RyushiroX]

That music is exactly why I play SinoAlice! So damn epic! Now about those gacha rates...
