Title: ur favorite town themes in rpgs
Post by: Samus Aran on July 03, 2018, 05:16:27 PM
i have so, so many of these. and note that i'm kinda talking traditional rpg structure here. themes for individual towns that are separate from the overworld (or paths) between towns. as opposed to something like persona, where the "town theme" isn't really a thing because the city is just the default location and there's no overworld or anything separate from it

ANYWAY

Zelda is close enough to an RPG, I think. 5thgrade;

although i guess the zelda games don't tend to have too many distinct villages lol

3d dot game heroes actually does have at least 3 distinct ones with unique themes, though

yes, putting rpg in a very literal sense.

GTA is a rpg, you play as Trevor, or michael and Franklin

Mario is a rpg, you play as mario (minus the actual mario rpgs)

alright realtalkâ,,¢

What exactly distinguishes Zelda, especially nu-Zelda like BotW, from something more universally considered to be an RPG like Skyrim? Is the presence or absence of leveling up the only significant mechanical difference? befuddlement

that's a topic for a separate thread, but my honest answer is "look it up"

i think the only distinction that matters for this thread is town themes for setting-based games, whether they be action/adventure/rpg/etc

Pokémon X/Y has probably my favorite collection of town songs in the series, but I prefer Snowbelle over Shalour. Some of my other favorite Pokémon towns in the other games include Malie City, Opelucid City, and Violet City

I haven't played enough other RPGs to have any non-pokemon favorites that haven't already been posted

I chose this ^ version, because it's based on the symphonic version

I have a ton of favorites throughout the franchise. I'm also particularly fond of Goldenrod City, but I'm not sure I like what they did to it in HG/SS

Pokemon games just have great music in general and there's so many great town themes

Yeah, Goldenrod City was great in the originals but the HGSS version is not as good. I feel the same way about Ecruteak too. It's a shame since HGSS is overall such a fantastic soundtrack.
