RO2 originally had this as it's pront soundtrack, a wonderful updated mix by Yoko Kanno:



Now we have this in game:



It's not even part of Yoko Kanno's work. Why did they change it? And why so late?

Furthermore, if you go into C:\Program Files (x86)\Gravity\Ragnarok Online 2\BGM_F you will find RO1's prontera BGM from SoundTEMP in there with no explanation. Obviously something went weird with Prontera's music. Anyone have a clue?

izrude's music sounds like a bad disney film....omg on loop.

Exactly, they have replaced some of Yoko Kanno's work (she did the music for Cowboy Bebop, Darker than Black, Escaflowne, etc...) with some really generic sounding music, and they did it right before the game launched in SEA. Why would they replace a handful of her tracks (which were excellent!) with generic loops?

hmmmm maybe they were written for the old game and it's a licensing thing.

Almost all the tracks sounds like generic loops, horrible, i've replaced all the soundtrack with RO1 + GotW.
A serious company, would consider this, and comunicate it to the developers/main company, because the current soundtrack really is bad, and helps to give a bad image to the game

I replaced the bgm with the tracks uploaded in the bgm thread (forgot the guy's name. Lionel maybe). It's a mix of RO1 tracks and remixes and Yoko Kanno's music from the first RO2. It's really excellent and I don't even know what a lot of the RO2 bgm sounds like lol. After being turned off by the repetitive Mt. Mijolnir and Pront music, I never went back.

They wanted to make it even more of a WoW clone by adding -_-ty crap-WoW-like bgm to the game for our version.

I must find how to do this !

Can anyone link to the BGM thread? Also, does anyone know why they used -some- of Yoko Kanno's music, but not all of it? It can't be a licensing thing if they're using some of her music.

My thread is neither a proposal nor a suggestion, it a discussion. Please move it back.
