Media Wynncraft Ost Appreciation Thread

icy steps, adventure, travelling at dusk really nostalgic and also pretty nice songs
genesis of the end and everpresence and where they wandered-- actually all se songs
luxury of the cease-fire is good starting town music
tale of the century, infinite ascension, mistress of the hive all quality
energetic encounter gaming

edit: totally forgot about no place to hide, i really like lexdale theme lmao

 

I mentioned it in the section where I talked about my other top picks. Its great too.

 

You're right, I shouldn't expect Wynncraft to have a soundtrack on par with triple A game music. I also don't expect it to. However, I am looking at the product and not the people who made the music. Maybe you should too.

 

Flight in distress theme Lexdale theme ariodos lab theme countdown to corruption

 

Good lord, if you want terrible music, here it is

 

I thought this was gonna appreciate Salted's bandcamp, but oh well
Anyway, here are my thoughts
Favorite city theme: Ragni
Favorite area theme: Sky islands
Favorite dungeon theme: Galleon's Graveyard (What can I say? It's the ocean update theme)
Favorite boss theme: Mistress of the Hive (For the noteblock ost anyway, corpe_'s remix of Genesis of the End is killer)

 

Gotta love the internet sometimes. People told you that you’re wrong, yet those people can’t give a valid reason or argument on why you’re wrong (Ocu’s “argument” was about how Wynn can’t have Triple A quality soundtracks, as if that had anything to do with anything)

 

Wynn is restricted to noteblocks for music, meaning that SEVERAL sound effects can't be recreated, BUT, I do think that some mobs sounds put at different pitches and volumes COULD replace some music stock sounds, but that's the main reason Wynn's music is somewhat monotonous, but if we're looking at it as noteblock music, then it's probably the best soundtrack in all of Minecraft's noteblock history (yes I do know that the Wynncraft texturepack changes noteblock sounds, but the changes are very minor)

 

I don't need to prove that a piece of music is bad. It's my opinion, just like how most people here think Wynncraft's music is good. Neither opinion has been properly and objectively explained and neither needs to be, because that's impossible. With all due respect, you are doing the exact thing you're accusing me of: calling me pretentious without explaining. The difference is that one is an opinion about music and the other is an unnecessary personal attack. How am I being pretentious? By saying something is bad? And more to the point, why are you saying it seems I have no idea what I'm talking about? You're saying I'm making claims without explaining them and yet the only "claim" (if you could call a statement of opinion) is that Wynncraft music is bad, which needs no more to be explained than "Wynncraft music is good". To conclude, I would like to make an observation of the same kind about you. You sound like someone who can't accept someone having a different opinion and calls them "pretentious" in order to achieve moral superiority. Try to work more on having a productive conversation more and attacking claims that don't exist less.

I understand why you made your response, but I think it is missing the point of my post. It was more of an observation rather than a judgement. My statement: Wynncraft's music is bad and it is worse than other games' soundtracks. Response: You can't seriously expect Wynncraft to have a soundtrack on par with games that can afford whole orchestra's. The problem with your response is that my post was purely and observation about the quality of the music. To put in perspective, what I said could be compared to saying: "I'd rather eat at a restaurant than eat my father's horrible cooking". One could respond with: "Don't complain, the cooks that work at the restaurant have had years of training and get paid, you can't seriously compare your father to them.". Sure, while I can't expect my father to cook as well as a professional, that doesn't change the fact that the food is worse.

 

I really didn’t want to get into this conversation, but I totally agree with this response. Not a single opinion had to be (objectively) “explained” - because an opinion is everything but objective. Even though there were a lot of people that seemed to have been angry with stormarend’s legitimate opinion, I am going to tag @Saya - because there really was no reason for you to make this an issue: it is stormarend’s subjective opinion which they don’t need to explain, so there was no need to call them “pretentious”. If you did want him to explain, then you could have just asked him.

TL;DR: + 1 stormarend support (by support I mean supporting his legitimate arguement, nothing to do with their opinion)

 

For having argued with both of them on rather petty subjects that just ended up with me being lost entirely, I can say that they both have... overbearing qualities

 

Did you actually edit your reply to be even worse lol

 

Guys, i am (propably) stupid, but what are you arguing about?

 

I said Wynncraft music is bad and then the world exploded.

 

If you go back and look at my post, I said that directly comparing Wynncraft’s limited music system to that of an AAA game is an unfair criticism.
I never said that you have to treat Wynn’s soundtrack as good because comparing it to a high budget game is unfair. You’re entitled to that opinion, however, it still stands to reason that it’s unfair to compare Wynncraft’s music to that of a Triple A game. Using that as a backer to your opinion isn’t entirely a fair argument. If Wynn had a much higher music budget, it would be fair to compare it to other games, and use that as a valid criticism.

But with Wynn’s current limited system, it’s best to look at other qualities other than “compared to other games the quality is bad” to its music.

TL;DR if you’re gonna give your opinion about Wynn music and argue it against other opinions, it isn’t fair to say “other games are way better” as a reason as to why it’s bad (or a factor into why it is).

 

I know.

I guess it was this thing. I would say "I dont think it is good or even average"

 

And if you go back and look at my posts you'll see that it wasn't even used as an argument as to why Wynncraft's music is bad. I specifically stated it after the tracks I did like. The purpose of the statement was to put my opinion into perspective. Why would I use "I like these tracks compared to the rest, but they're still not as good as other game soundtracks" as an argument? That would make no sense and as such, I didn't. You're trying to invalidate an argument that isn't there.

Just because I started my post with "I'd argue" doesn't mean that it is an essay as to why I think Wynncraft music is bad. Because that's missing the point of my post. The post summarises all my opinions about Wynncraft music, but not every reason why, because that would be way to much to go into. My post is similar to every other post in this thread: "I like this and this and this", except mine is "I dislike this and this and this". The problem is that people can't accept someone having a different opinion than them and interpret it as me wanting to start and argument.

 

ight then. ty for clearing up.

 

Wow, this whole thread has burned down and rebuilt itself while I wasn’t looking

Anyways, I think that Wynn’s music is pretty hit or miss; because of the medium they use, it tends to be very restricted to staccato notes, which means that there’s not really too much tempo or stylistic variation, especially compared to other games.
(If you don’t know what I’m talking about, listen to the Destiny 2 track ‘A Thousand Wings’.) Because of that, certain pieces tend to be very forgettable. (I honestly don’t really like the Detlas or Cinfras themes, and find them kind of forgettable. Some boss themes like Wierding also are mediocre.) Like, I think most of us probably can’t remember the themes for ANY of gavel, besides maybe the endgame areas and like two towns. And I seriously dislike the frozen wastes song

That said, when it works, it really works, with pieces like Stormy Seas and Genesis of the end, and even some of the more forgettable pieces tend to have some memorable earworms (Maro peaks. If you’ve listened to it you probably know what I’m talking about). In general, I find most of the ‘major boss’ themes good, and some of the faster paced forlorn songs (Lexdale’s theme and the Twain manor are standouts).
