View Full Version : PSO2 What music are you listening to while playing PSO2?

Since there are more than enough threads about IP bans, mass hysteria and server issues,
I thought we could talk about something more enjoyable for once.

I love talking about music and how certain kinds of music can change or ruin a game's atmosphere completely, so my question is:

Do you guys listen to the ingame music only? Or do you turn down the volume and listen to your own playlists? If you do, do you listen to "actual" (don't take this word too serious) music or to soundtracks?

Most of the time (except when doing story quests) I listen to my own playlist which mostly consists of soundtracks taken from other games and a lot of anime series. To this day, I managed to find 582 tracks that fit my taste.

A few examples:

[SPOILER-BOX]http://puu.sh/9g5eB.mp3[/SPOILER-BOX]
[SPOILER-BOX]http://puu.sh/9SnC4.mp3[/SPOILER-BOX]

I'm aware that there have been similar threads in the past, but I was too lazy to search. >_>

I'd usually play Boss Rushes from Sonic Lost World during TD1 and TD2. It fits rather well, actually. When Vibrace spawns, I play Dr. Eggman Showdown. ;P

I tried listening to some World of Warcraft soundtracks whilst playing. It wasn't half bad haha. However I just started playing so I only have access to forest and the caves/volcanoy looking area.

All depending on the mood i'm in.
say when I turn my in-game music up the only real reason
I won't turn it back down is because I forget or am just too lazy.

There's certain tracks I like to listen to though like the Ruins area.
but most of the time I'll throw on my cluster of Japanese music/vocaloid
and if i'm really in the mood, I'll toss on some Nujabes/samurai champloo OST
which are amazing in my opinion. No anime will ever have better tracks than champloo

While I do agree that Nujabes and Samurai Champloo sound absolutely awesome, I think that there are soundtracks that are far more awesome.

There have been threads like this in the past but I'm not sure about recently. But who cares we do need something else to talk about. Too many titanic and theory threads.

ANYWAYS...
I play with the BGM at 0. I only listen to OST stuff during boss battles and speed runs. Most of the time I'm just running around hunting with my team. While hunting I listen to Visual Kei (JRock), Drum and Bass, and Alt.Rap.

Here's a playlist I recently made for DnB if anyone is interested:

I used to listen to this during TAs but now I listen to it while grinding in PSOBB.

Nice, 1990s atmospheric drum and bass.:-) I listen to the same artists. Also listen to allot of techno. BGM stays at zero usually. Sometimes I'll listen to the Forest area though.

Sometimes I'll just listen to the in-game music. Other times I'll either listen to my Spotify playlist or random anime openings/endings on youtube. Usually I'll put my own music on if I'm doing something mind-numbing or repetitive.

In-game music only. Only way I can listen to something else is if I can mod the music myself. Not having proper cutoffs and transitions irks my autism.

PSO2 only has great boss battle tracks and some of the story cutscene tracks are really good, like Luther's Theme.

Field and lobby music are, with a few exceptions, mostly extremely boring or terribly annoying in my opinion, so yeah...

I only listen to the game's music during story mode or turn it up during boss battles every once in a while.

As for what I'm listening to instead, that greatly varies. I've accumulated an s-load of videogame/anime/movie soundtracks during the past decade.
Currently, I keep listening to Ace Attorney music no matter what I do (because I've recently started playing Edgeworth Investigations 2), especially the orchestral soundtracks.

Pretty much this.

Minus the Spotify. Or the anime OP/EDs. If I ever listen to OPs and EDs I usually binge-listen to them several dozen times until I'm sick of them and then move on (heh). Cases in point: all (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PHbR3xf6Vs) of (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdDwdrKSXhc) these (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_F5XsQvzbo). And I'll throw in this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64ZpTlwILyI) for good measure.

But I try to seek out new music when I get too sick or bored of the in-game stuff, rather than simply replaying stuff I already have. I guess I'm addicted to novelty.

Well you asked.

I tried listening to Exmilitary once.

I'm sorry, it was just awful to me. And I'm not sure I ever want to try the Gurps again.

How it works for me with almost any game including PSO2 is I find an album that I listen to quite a bit for days (usually a metal or rock sort of deal), and that becomes my bgm if I feel like putting it on.

[spoiler-box]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xDVomMgvqw&list=PLLDf8Bnp1K1Kkk3Kbepm9UamqHjMZlgsb[/spoiler-box]

I guess you can't really call Risk of Rain's OST an "album" per se, but it's gotten a lot of listening time from me.

Also, I've been playing Mastodon's Crack the Skye album for several days now. Been listening to Deftones a lot as well.

For me, it often depends. For instance, I'll sometimes play Goron Mines from LoZ:TP when in the Caverns, other times Bryyo Fire. When Vol Dragon appears on the field, I don't hesitate to turn the music down and look for Growl, from the depths of the earth. It works, trust me.

Ragne tends to be accompanied by Pray, for IDOLA the distorted.

In TD2, it's generally Evangelion Music, and Vibrace is, without fault, backed by the power of Angel of Doom (which is INCREDIBLY befitting of the final wave as a whole).
"Pouring out like prophets of doom, they do forewarn~"

But, yeah, mainly soundtracks. I have been known to play Crystallised Silver (Letty Whiterock's theme) from Touhou 7 when fighting De Malmoth, Mother earth of dishonesty/Jungle ~ A forest cage for Rockbear and Darknut (Twilight Princess) for Gwanahda.
