The soundtrack this game has is probably one of the best ever. Though sometimes I get sick of it and set the music to silent and run WMP in the background on shuffle through my extensive list of tracks
That of course actually makes it difficult to make a certain track play at a certain point in the game, unless I minimize the game window and pick out the track. I'm considering finding an MP3 to OGG converter, making a backup of the game's default tracks and then replacing the normal tracks with the ones I want but that could screw things up seriously so not bothering.
But yeah I'd like to discuss your picks for an alternative soundtrack to the default bgm. which tracks and where you want them.
I wouldn't swap out the title tune for anything, though. That would be a bit too close to outright blasphemy.
My pick for a victory fanfare
Arena battle or those scenarios where you HAVE to fight to proceed
I've yet to actually fight ANY boss, and I got close to fighting the Snarbolax but my connection pooped out on me, but I'd like some of this going on for it :D
if Haven were a bit more metropolitan I'd like to hear this.
I agree that the soundtrack is super awesome. I frequently switch out tracks, usually once a week or so for a large majority of tracks, so don't worry nothing bad will happen to the game and your computer won't explode if you do so.
Note: Patches revert all music files back to their originals, so remember to save a copy of your folder for easy copypasting if you do switch stuff out.
I have a habit of trying to match my choices with their corresponding theme but not all of them will sound "just right". Anyways. This is what I have set up for next week, though I'm still working on it.
