Okay... So... I was on a spree taking screenshots for Xavier's Floral Blessing memory, right?

While I was taking the screenshots I heard this VERY SPECIFIC melody and the piano in the BGM of the memory. I could feel my brain just flip a dang switch like some kinda flash back or something...! ∑( 口 ||

Thing is, music is always important to storytelling, especially medias like games and movies.

Now, I won't go too deep into an analysis because there's an amazing analysis and breakdown written by @rose-tinted-kalopsia (i might chip in my own stuff that I noticed in another post in future...)

Some bits of spoilers I guess

OKAY

SO

It's plainly obvious this new Memory of Xavier's is something that kind of comes full circle, making parallels to his previous stories in our dearly beloved traumatizing Anecdote 3 (When shooting stars fall) and his Lightseeker Myths. A lot character building and development and seeing how Xavier's grown as a character.

Not much surpise there.

BUT

listen.. again... when I hear the BGM... I WAS HECKING LOCKED IN BECAUSE THE DEVS ARE VERY MUCH AWARE AND JUST!!!! 😭

I went back through ALL the Kindled of ALL of Xavier's 5 star memories, and took a listen to the BGMs.

As very much expected, all the kindleds just use either one of Xavier's BGM that you can earn from his Affinity Level, one of the more generic BGMs that's shared, or one that is thematic to the series (like No Restraint)

FLORAL BLESSING THO

THE MOMENT I HEAR THAT ONE LINE FROM THE PIANO...

Floral Blessing is using the SAME BGM that is played when you read his Anecdote 3. SPECIFICALLY ONLY ANECDOTE 3! (okay it plays when you're in his Anecdote menu too but it changes after you select an anecdote to read)

AND GUESS WHEN ELSE THIS BGM PLAYS?!

YES, HIS LIGHTSEEKER MYTH CARD, specifically Lightseeking Shadowrend

They are drawing ALL the Parallels, no holds barred

I thought Calamity of Eshu looked like a decent signature weapon for her if she wasn't a catalyst user.

When BGM for VBS' WLE slaps harder than most of their commissioned songs

they promised us rom-com, and they delivered.

Little did you know I hc you being a professional Spelldrive player in the future

[celestialrealms]

They introduce Barbatos like this, by closing up on him and making MC immediately ask who he is.. because he's the main love interest btw. If you care,,, (/j)

[kaiserouo]

Hope there will be a conlang critic episode about this

[lunarharp]

silly neopetscore doodles from the other day. (in my modern au they are not idiots as much and have been together for a while ever since the aquarium date)

[project-sekai-facts]

There are currently only 3 BGM tracks that feature vocals. Two of these tracks are unnamed and unreleased, but sung by main/major characters. Kohane sings a solo song in Kick it up a notch, and Taiga sings a solo song in Light Up the Fire.

One of these tracks is quite unusual. It was featured in the RE:START from Here! event and was released on the first OST under the title Nijiiro Garland (see video at the top of post). The singer is not a named character (it's sung by the idol that inspired Airi when she was a child), and the voice actor also goes uncredited. It's unknown why this is the only instance of an unnamed character singing a BGM track, let alone being the only instance of a vocal BGM track for over two years until the Kohane song was used.

im not even joking when i say this but if they dont release the soundtrack for nsbu
