Mostly been listening to the new Pokemon ost. Had kind of rambled on in another thread about it, was half asleep so not sure how much sense I made lol. But for many years it feels to me most of the games have only focused on having generally "upbeat" tracks and just feel super generic imo. There's a pretty distinct Toby Fox to this one, obviously and it's not a bad thing, but I believe he only had a part in a handful of tracks, so credit really goes to all for seeming to make most of the themes in this game have more feeling and care put into making them unique and fitting again. I especially love that there are different battle themes per region and that they seamlessly blend into the overworld music.
Oh, had also found this "b-side" album for Paradise Killer, and there's one track in particular I really love.
I guess aside from those I've been finding a few accapella covers of songs I've enjoyed. One was already a cover by Okayu of another song, and the other is a bit of a rabbit hole I've yet to really fully explore with Doki Doki Literature Club but man does it hit the feels no matter what form it seems to take, without even knowing the full context.
Oh, Calli made a new song. Unfortunate it seems to be a first in one that has not impressed me as much, but still nice to listen to.
Lastly, it's a little cheesy, and despite how much fun I'd had with Bayonetta 3, I feel it's really not fully earned, sadly. I really like the game, but the ending feels like they were trying just a bit too hard with a series that doesn't take itself too seriously most of the time. Even so, the song on its own I feel is really beautiful in its own right.
