THE PRODUCTION VALUE OF THIS GAME'S OST IS INSANE

[@MatthewPogi-md7oq]

As it should be 😤 Tho I’m all seriousness the OST of games should always be high priority because it’s one of the main things players will remember. IMO.

[@IdiotRace]

It's a shame that the sound mixing in game makes it hard to hear the soundtrack properly idk. Or at least coming out of my tv it does, also the fact that the music is dynamic doesn't help as it's always changing.

[@maxonite]

It’s average

[@jacksonlovesnintendo]

@@IdiotRace so true. I would literally halt any objective I was pursuing the moment a new track started cause I NEEDED to hear it haha

[@jacksonlovesnintendo]

@@maxonite bro we ain't talking about you, we talking about this GOAT ost

[@AlmightyArceus]

This rearrangement shows just how much love was put into PLA. Seriously one of the best Pokemon games ever crafted.

[@fishyboi98]

Seeing the lakes in a fully open world game was something else. This game really knew just how much nostolgia people were going to go into it with.

[@Vindisk]

PLA ain’t fully open world, it’s open zone, but yeah, it was cool.

[@NikkrisMusic]

So true! They went all out for a side story game and it is one of the best. Cant wait for Legends Celebi! Lol

[@sfish6]

This game turned two years old today and i hope people will look back on in fondly years from now, everything about it is so unforgettable

[@excalibur493]

They already are. I've been playing it a lot recently because I got burnt out on the ribbon grind. Been picking up as many satchels as possible while I was at it because it sucks to lose things. ... take a wild guess as to where most of them were.

[@sfish6]

@excalibur493 coronet highlands is my bet, and yeah I love that system so much. I recently completed the dex and the reward was amazing but good luck finding the baby ones that was frustrating

[@excalibur493]

@@sfish6 It's actually around the alpha Garchomp spawn at Alabaster. I don't think many people were thinking it'd be level 85. Alpha spawns in general are pretty common spots, but also at the bottoms of mountains. My first death was testing the Braviary prompt by yeeting myself off of Snowpoint Temple. I know the NPCs can drop a satchel at Spear Pillar, which is pretty funny.

[@sfish6]

@excalibur493 there's a request where you have to find alolan vulpix in the icelands and it gets super annoying when tornadus + outbreaks spawn in that whole area is rough

[@Dante02d12]

Count me in! Latest Pokemon games were terrible, but Arceus was so great. Not perfect, but so well done! The way everything leads to the Sinnoh we know, like the music sometimes becoming the original themes of certain places over time..... That's just _magical._ My only big complaint is lack of replayibility. There's enough content for 50 hours, but I found it hard to come back to it after completing it.

[@el_compa_giants5209]

This is the first Pokémon game since Gen 5 that I've actually invested a lot of time into, and it quickly became one of my favorites in the series. Not only did it build up on an already established lore, which I loved, but it's such a nice change of pace from the main line games. The entire OST embodies a mood of melancholy which makes the game even more beautiful.

[@ethacon]

I felt like a child again playing white for first time

[@littlemisseevee2309]

its also far more challenging than the series typically is

[@Terapagos3000]

gen 5, 6, 7 and 8 built up the established lore too

[@Terapagos3000]

And also this isn't melancholic, Sinnoh is melancholic

[@thegermthatlivesinsideyour9328]

But gen 7 was investment worthy

[@SunshineCasy]

I found Lake Valor by accident. Once I heard the familiar tune and realized what I was looking at, I just crouched down and took it all in.

[@danielrivera6899]

Im a musician. Once the clarinet starts interchanging the theme between the other instruments its a wrap for me. The piano is just icing on top. Thank you so much for this Masuda, thank you.

[@TsuriaDragon]

Surprising Masuda wasn’t in the production of Legends 🤯🤯🤯

[@TheUltimateNatural]

Masuda didn't compose the soundtrack for Pokemon Legends Arceus.

[@jeniffer7799]

Masuda wasn't involved in that game this time

[@enigma939]

Maybe that's why it was good 😂👍

[@MasteredRealm]

Thank Go Ichinose for that. Masuda is a programmer how also made music for Red/Blue. Most of the iconic tracks in GSC and later games are by Go Ichinose!

[@hemsfeldcustardale4005]

I love how it carries the same progression of the original theme, but everything’s loose and detached. It kind of symbolizes a framework. Like how the map is the framework of the Sinnoh region.

[@plutonash2545]

Like the song we know and love is in there, but not quite formed yet

[@MariOmor1]

Most of the songs in the game also have something similar. Take the Crimson Mirelands theme, for example--you can hear similarities to Route 205 and 206 in there, but they're just occasional motifs and incomplete

[@Roseyfinchartworks]

I climbed up to the diamond settlement, trying to get to a time distortion and found lake valor. I stopped there with my switch in my hand and my mouth open while this song played. I have never had my nostalgia bone hit so hard before, I was awe struck.

[@Ryuseigun687]

When I got to the lake, this song really hit me, I stood there for 5 minutes just listening to this. This OST did the original OST justice

[@TsuriaDragon]

Same I love it 🥰

[@shinyjiggly]

I remember getting close enough to a lake to hear this, and then proceeding to accidentally roll into the lake and drown. Worth it to listen tho Xb

[@catrionabonner8641]

I just recently played through this and when I found lake valor and this theme came in, I just stopped for 10 mins. Brought me right back to my first diamond playthrough

[@cosbat]

After dealing with Noble Lilligant in my own playthrough, I took my Decidueye to look out at Lake Valor before pressing on, and hearing this theme swell around 1:34 while the sun was rising will always be a memorable moment to me ;;

[@tqcorragh]

this gives me ''I've won... But at what cost?'' feelings.

[@Tounsi-Prime]

while I was looking for lost items, I heard this music which sounded familiar to me, so I opened the map and read "Lake Verity" and then i started to smile

[@werewolf1301]

Discovering this theme under the cover of night was something else. Togekiss in flight over lake Verity, standing on the ridge overlooking the water...Legends: Arceus was the Pokémon Company's magnum opus.

[@threevelayt5302]

This and Eterna Forest still give me the chills. Haven't felt this way since the first time I listened to R/S/E credits in my adolescence, long after i first played gen 3. The nostalgia is really making my heart thump.

[@scapegoat7793]

I was just playing with some friends in the room and when the OG lake melody started playing my friends witnessed a grown adult start sniffling like a child again.

[@ProjectCarthage2004]

these are either the best midi sounds i've ever heard or this is an actual orchestra

[@MariOmor1]

it's orchestrated, midi would sound more rough and fuzzy

[@nat298]

With sampling plugins midi can sound as good as any sampled instrument

[@snowtenkey118]

the most recent pokemon game that used midi is BW2 except when you count BDSP

[@Solargress]

@@snowtenkey118 All pokemon game soundtracks use Midi, including of this one. Modern music plugins can sound real.

[@bravely_beep]

This is definitely using sampled orchestra sounds, not a real live recording. It's good quality though, the mixing is better than some of the other tracks in the same game

[@brayzaroo]

When the piano melody played I legit got stunned for a moment. It was like a nostalgia nuke went off in my head and replayed every good memory of pokemon I've ever had

[@nabbly]

Sounds like something straight out of Braxton Burks' "Time and Space" Album. I love it.

[@MariOmor1]

The Volo theme sounds almost exactly like his Champion Cynthia remix as well

[@ohfrancotron8]

I cried. wow. I think this might be the first time I’ve cried from Pokémon music. Especially given how different the music is from the original. With all the embellishment but simultaneous restraint in the composition with that familiar nod of nostalgia to the original Lake music, it’s a perfect rendition to serve as the music of the past that became the music we know and love in the present day (during the events of BDSP) Bravo. 🥺

[@erickzamora921]

You and me both brother, Pokémon as a kid always absolutely filled me with a sense of infinite wonder I felt that again as I listened to this.

[@simplycheezy187]

When the melody comes in is when all the memories come flooding back in

[@pinkachu5453]

This game blew my expectations out of the water. Every detail put into it is so thoughtful. The soundtrack is amazing. For example, the MUSIC!!! Love the sinnoh themes with orchestral twists. So so good.

[@tak0o]

The sound of roaring alpha gyarados on the background when I found the lake when I first found it in Obsidian fields was the cherry on top. This game is art. It has flaws but for me, it's perfect

[@KodasGarden]

I remember climbing up the mountain sorrounding Lake Verity at the start of the game and just being completely stunned by the music that started playing. I stood there, staring down at the lake, until the music stopped

[@Tknight1414]

It sounds like it came straight out of the anime, so cool

[@Mystsprit]

my jaw dropped hearing this for the first time i just put the controller down and took it all in for a few minutes

[@theresasauder9429]

Same thing happened to me as well. I was running around and this hits and I just sat there in awe for a good 15 mins it was surreal

[@andred.3687]

Every time I wanna relax, I come by the cave of Lake Verity and just sit there with my Pokémon, taking it all in. It’s so beautiful. Thank you, Game Freak 😌

[@the.hex_x]

2:13 that part just hits... Hits so hard

[@remembrancez]

The beauty of this song just gives out a joyful and relaxing feeling and what makes its more dope is that every lake has a nice view you can find and enjoy to look at in the game🌴🍃

[@toons345]

I love how they have remastered so many old themes to fit the older time

[@Shiny_Sandshrew]

anyone else use Wyrdeer like a Skyrim Horse to get here early? I know I did the moment I saw one of the lakes on the map lol

[@NoctuaOlivae]

Can't you just walk to all the lakes?

[@foxygramps1207]

I did without knowing I could sneak around. Just chilled in the grass with my lv 20 something team and listened to the music before catching a Luxray 20 levels over. I love when games let me bullshit my way through things.

[@TsuriaDragon]

I had the most wonderful time with all Pokémon an top of an high mountain overlooking the lake Verity with this theme playing their all sit down resting and enjoying other company moments like these I truly love about legends Arceus plz GF make your modern game even more richer like these I wanna do more with my Pokémon than just battling. 🥰

[@LS151]

This reminds me SO MUCH of the Pokemon's first movie japanese soundtrack

[@APurpleFable]

[@kyleheck5363]

Gotta say while I didn’t necessarily hate BDSP being more faithful remakes with some QoL changes, I feel like Legends is more in line with what Pokémon remakes usually are. Of course it’s a very different game then DPPt, but it still has a lot of the stuff that made those games fun and then some

[@ACasualCustomer]

I like how they added an intro before the tune we remember from our childhood begins

[@eternalgaming9705]

[@Kkiirrbbyykkiirrbbyy]

I used to be mad that legends arceus was only areas of the world until I realized that if it was all one big world the leveling would not be fun you could accidentally run into a level 70 Pokémon with your level 15 starter

This can be a new internet checkpoint since we all know what happened to the original(donkey kong Bush thing)

[@Thibbs-vp6gm]

Literal chills when the original lake theme started playing

[@rugrugrugrug]

Interesting how this pretty clearly references the snowy route theme too

[@just_space_]

When those first notes played I just felt this nostalgic and mystical feeling in my heart and I just stopped playing and let it all wash over me

[@LadySeeMoon]

How can it be possible to feel so much nostalgia from a game that i've played only a few years ago

[@_Tzer]

every lake has a melody except the forbidden spring aka turnback cave.. the game straight up goes silent there.. it isn't like the others. A place where two worlds.. OVERLAP.

[@FScotsman4472]

imagine if the distortion world was in PL:A (or any other open world pokemon game). that would be so cool!

[@excalibur493]

​@@FScotsman4472I was thinking Volo was gonna help us go there to fight Giratina, but NOPE. I wasn't mad at Volo for betraying me, I was mad because I didn't get to go to hell and throw hands.

[@MrGksarathy]

This theme is forever associated with all those Rufflet at Lake Acuity, at least for me, mostly because those damn birds kept interrupting the Lake theme.

[@Rosald57]

That is strangely relatable

[@HulklingsBoyfriend]

I had to put my dog down due to cancer today, and this song has really felt soothing.

[@mynameisleave]

Can't quite put my finger on it, but this track gives me huge Mewtwo Strikes Back soundtrack vibes throughout, both from the English and Japanese scores of the film, oddly enough... in any case, it's a lovely version of the lake theme we all know and love :)

[@aprettyfunnyperson4516]

Listening to this again… it- it just feels nice? Like I want to tear up from the beauty and…nostalgia? How can this be? Me being nostalgic for a game that is not even old. I’m so silly, and yet here I am feeling like playing this gem again as if it were part of my childhood. This game is truly timeless.

[@lizzya.2861]

I feel like that scene in Ratatouille where Ego has a flashback to his childhood 😭

[@LinkMountaineer]

Being near Lake Acuity hearing this for the first time, I thought this was more Alabaster Icelands ambiance music. Probably my favorite area in the game.

[@BigGamer2525]

The drop and clarinets at 0:50 reminds me of some of the simcity 4 ambience.

[@istabkiwisforfun7907]

This song is so much to me. The first time I found Lake Valor, I just stood there in awe of the music for about ten minutes. Then I decided it was a great place to evolve my Gardevior, which I did at moon rise. After that, I let her meet the rest of the team and I just sat there. On the edge of the lake through sunrise, fog, rain, sunset, and moonrise while watching Gastrodon, Happiny, Lopunny, and Decidueye all chat and laugh while I sat and watched with Gardevoir with Sylveon sleeping beside me. It was one of the happiest moments in my time playing legends Arceus. I know my team aren’t real but for a moment there, they all felt like real family.
