Do You Hear the People Sing? – the Leitmotif in Video Game Music
I was planning on doing a simple ‘favourite tracks’ post on FFXIV, much like I did for SWTOR before, but when going through said favourites, it quickly became clear that it would not be enough for me to simply list some songs and write a few sentences as to why when what I really wanted
Nostalgia or Magic – Perhaps They Are One and the Same
My personal history with RPGs and Final Fantasy is pretty easily summarised: It’s a love story. The first time I played a Final Fantasy game was when I was around twelve to thirteen years old. Camping out at my cousin’s place during summer vacation, they had just bought the brand-new title Final Fantasy VII. I
Nothing but extreme opinions – but does it have to be that way?
Spoiler alert: It really doesn’t! I few weeks ago I played the Anthem demo for two weekends in a row and was pretty much immediately hooked. The game has fun combat, a beautiful scenery and not even the load screen bugs (of which I had surprisingly few to be fair though) could stop the enthusiasm.
GRIS – a journey through the pain
Have you ever felt a pain so deep you lost your voice? Have you ever felt like you lost the ability to move, that you were swept away by even the smallest winds? Have you felt so alone and anxious that the world was grey and empty and everything important seemed to crumble away beneath
I hold the patience of stone and the will of stars – Video Game Music With A Star Wars Twist
I have written several posts about my favourite video game soundtracks before. This time I thought I’d do a less general one and focus down on what I love musically about just one game: Star Wars The Old Republic. The Old Republic is a Star Wars MMO made by Bioware that came out late in
The Terrible Boredom Of Good vs Evil – Where is the nuance in alignment based stories?
Inspired by a talk on Discord or well, rather me talking at Julie on Discord about SWTOR while she has to work/sleep and do other important real life tasks, I have put a lot of thought into the topic of alignment and character motivation of my characters in video games over the past two days.
What Dragon Age means to me
Yesterday was December 4th, or the Unofficial Dragon Age 4 Day. People wrote about what Dragon Age means to them, they posted stories and fanart, streamed and connected with each other. It was an amazing event and more than 5000$ were collected for charity. I thought, I’d share a bit of the love as well.
The Anthem thing. Again.
So, there’s new info on Dragon Age. Sort of. Basically an article from VG247 titled “New Dragon Age, Mass Effect titles will be heavily influenced by Anthem, says Bioware”. You can find it here. What it basically boils down to is that Bioware says it wants to continue what they’re trying to do with Anthem in
The burden of choice
Sorry for our long silence – it’s summer time, summer vacation time to be more precise, and kids want to be taken care of and then I was away for first work and then vacation and now my first last week of actual vacation is somehow filled with much more tasks than I wanted to.

It’s been about a year since I posted the last recommendation post for video game soundtracks and in this year a lot has happened, a lot of games have been played and some really great pieces of video game music have been discovered or even re-discovered by me throughout the months. So this is mainly
