I suppose I shall start! (Also, this will contain spoilers for Dark Souls I & III)
I just *love* the music in these games! Hearing the Gwyn's theme for the first time when I had reached the end of the first game really made me think. This isn't some grandiose final battle, it doesn't even have a cutscene; Gwyn can be parried for God's (Gwyn's) sake! If anything, it's us finally putting down a god who should have died long ago. And then--and then! Over in Dark Souls III, draining Soul of Cinder's health bar, only to see another one appear? I was certainly intrigued. AND THEN? Plin plin plon. My holy sunlight, I really then and there that the Souls trilogy was my favorite set of games in all of media. That grab, those slashes with that flaming sword. He was back, as a shell of his former self. Whether this was purely fanservice or amazing storytelling, I am not sure. What I am sure about is that I absolutely loved that moment and it's one of my favorite moments in gaming as a whole. We're not done just yet, though! The Nameless King, long debated and long theorized about. We finally meet Gwyn's disowned son face to face. Specifically though, I want to talk about the music in phase two, you can hear--you guessed it--plin plin plon once again! It is quite subtle but there nonetheless.
Gwyn's leitmotif was the main thing I wanted to gush about here, but there's stuff like this littered all throughout the game's OSTs! That's about all I have to say. I posted this in part to encourage other people to engage with this thread, thank you in advance assuming *somebody* does, but I do genuinely love the music of these games, it was all I listened to for a while. Anyways, Solaire signing off! Praise the sun!
