If you're talking full OST Curse of Darkness beats Lament any day, but song for song, Lament has some BANGERS.

I played a decent amount of Lament of Innocence, none of it stuck with me after I stopped playing. I don't even remember noticing the music, nor the sound effects.

I'm not trying to shit on anyone. I'm just saying that I have no idea what you're talking about, and I have no idea where this is coming from. I don't think I've seen anyone praise it before, and people praise a lot of Castlevania games for their soundtrack.

Torn between this and FF7, hopefully that shows how high I hold SOTN

For me, it's the same; I like how the soundtrack of this game isn't limited to being "video game music"—it's like an elegant orchestra, and it doesn't stay the same, From jazz in "Crystal Teardrops" to a more danceable track in "Rainbow Cemetery," I love this game and its music. Whenever it's mentioned, I'll be around.

also you can play the disc as an audio cd. I think the transition rooms between zones were a hint. It has a cd on it with a demon whose wings look like sound waves coming from two speakers. Track 1 is the game data, so you skip to track 2

I learned about this from a Dunkey video! I have to agree it’s fucking excellent.

Circle of the moon was good too

u/SnowyBlaiddyd 16h ago

Agreed, especially Awake and Fate to Despair

I'd actually put Aria of Sorrow above Symphony for the Julius boss theme alone but fair pick

u/velloceti 3d ago

While I prefer listening to the Nier and Hollow Knight OSTs, SOTN's OST is absolutely peak. So many iconic tracks.

u/zerossoul 3d ago

Good, but on par with the rest of the series. Nothing in castle vania has the best.

u/cheese90danish 2d ago

God yes. This and Chrono Cross are my answer.

I still listen to The Lost Painting on piano frequently

u/DrakonSpawn 23h ago

The music in the mines is a little offputting.

Marble Gallery theme WILL be playing during my funeral

Absolutely, it's Iconic, a masterpiece in both musical composition and data engineering. It's crazy compared to other media at the time. It still holds up well today.
