Round 1, Side A: Chicory: A Colorful Tale (2021) vs Bravely Default: Flying Fairy (2012)

Chicory | Bravely Default

Campaigns under the cut!

Campaign for Chicory:

I adore this game and its soundtrack is a very big part of the reason why. First of all, it's composed by Lena Raine, and while I have only played a few minutes of what I think she's best known for (Celeste), I do know that producing banger after banger is something she does exceptionally well, especially if this games soundtrack is anything to go off of. This games songs, to me, are on a spectrum which goes from "does its purpose" (a very small category for tracks like "You're Not Real") to the wider category of "super fun or nice song which I could easily put on whenever and enjoy" (so stuff like "Appie Foothills" or "Dinners, the Big City") to the "one of the best songs I've ever heard" category (containing songs like most of the boss battles, especially "Abandon Me" and all of the tracks associated with the ending. Though I also adore calmer tracks, with "Teatime Meadows" being one of my favorites in that department). All of the songs work amazingly with the game, especially since the game developers had already had experience with tying the soundtrack and what the game did alongside it with prior projects. The soundtrack would be amazing on its own, but the game helps to back up its impact, just like what happens vice versa. Also Lena Raine gave commentary for every song in the soundtrack once, and that made me appreciate the whole thing more, because there's just so much love and effort put into this soundtrack and I do not think the soundtrack or the game it boosts would be as amazing without it.

A heartfelt, thoughtful soundtrack. The songs do an amazing job of setting the tone for each area, each scene, each emotion -- from Pizza's wonder at learning to wield the brush, to her fear and guilt as she learns more about what it means to be a wielder, to her plucky courage as she stands up to help her friend Chicory, and everything in between. The soundtrack is absolutely one of the best parts of an already incredible game and it deserves to be listened to -- and played! -- by even more people. please play chicory omg.

It's such a soft and beautiful soundtrack, mainly based around guitars and woodwinds. Highlights: Wielder Temple, Sips River, Gulp Swamp

I have never even played this game, but I felt like I could feel the story through the soundtrack and the emotional drama through the melodies. It's like a mix of cute, pastel sounding, and some catchier boss battles, and then seriousness with hope.

Campaign for Bravely Default:

An underrated gem with a phenomenal soundtrack

listen to "serpent eating the ground"

Bravely Default: Where The Fairy Flies (3DS) may have the single greatest JRPG world map theme of all time.

The day night cycle is exclusively time based, just standing around on the world map is enough for time to progress. Horizon of Light and Shadow is timed to this cycle. When night falls, the song shifts from major to minor key.
