wait. is reunited a major motif because it symbolizes the happy ending that was torn away from everyone?
I treat it as a Frisk leitmotif because it's an original melody that plays at the end of Pacifist where Frisk's name is given.

the “freedom leitmotif” (as heard in the world revolving and big shot) is essentially gasters theme but sliced and mixed into something entirely new
this is also the case in twr’s fast section and the dialtone motif
may or may not be common knowledge at this point but thought itd be interesting to visualize and color code
the intervals in gasters motif are key its not just any old arpeggio like many people want to believe

Hey you!
Are you like me and have a completely normal* relationship with video game OSTs and composers’ use of leitmotifs within them?
*not normal at all
GREAT NEWS!
I’ve gone through and catalogued almost the entire Final Fantasy XVI soundtrack by character/region/general interlude based on motif use alone!
(Basically in general if a motif shows up only once it’s not gonna be on this list. Also, some recurring motifs didn’t have a designated name or common title scheme so I classified them myself, such as Early Overworld, Disaster Strikes, Impending Doom, Interludes, and Mythos. If anyone is curious as to which songs those categories include, let me know!)
Without further ado, here’s the breakdown. Any numbers after a + indicate tracks from disc 8 of the Ultimate Edition, which are unused tracks or single-cutscene tracks. Spoilers abound under the cut as well.
Final Fantasy: 7
Crystal: 17-20, approximately
Joshua/Phoenix: 15 + 1
Clive/Ifrit: 13 + 3 (bro the unused Ifrit vs Ifrit is so funny to me, it’s basically Lo-Fi Beats To Face Your Inner Demons To)
Jill/Shiva: 9 + 2 (update: I still cry when My Star plays)
Cid/Ramuh: 7 + 1
Benedikta/Garuda: 7
Hugo/Titan: 6
Dion/Bahamut: 7
Barnabas/Odin: 5 + 2
Ultima: 19 + 1 (truly incredible how many times he shows up and how EARLY in the game, too. He was always watching!!)
Anabella: 2
Rosaria: 12 + 1
Sanbreque: 5
Republic of Dhalmekia: 8 + 1 (the unused theme and the actual theme are almost identical, the main motif is just ever so slightly different, which I find fascinating!)
Crystalline Dominion: 2
Ironholm: 5
Waloed: 5 + 2
Early Overworld: 4
Battle Theme: 5 + 1
Disaster Strikes: 3
Impending Doom: 1 (think I made this a category before I realized it only showed up once)
Eikonic: 3
Interludes: 2
Mythos: 5
This was honestly so much fun to do! If anyone’s curious about anything don’t hesitate to ask! Happy to elaborate for anyone curious or wondering about anything
#noelle posts#final fantasy xvi#final fantasy 16#final fantasy 16 spoilers#ff16#music#lists#leitmotifs#I’ve seriously always been fascinated by stuff like this and would love to share my thoughts if anyone’s interested!!#also one of the unused boss themes is so freakin funny to me#comparing it to the version that ended up getting used is a trip

favorite ost leitmotif? skaia, showtime, aggrieve, beatdown, carefree victory, english, sburb(an jungle), courser, doctor/penumbra phantasm, homestuck, black, upward movement.... that's 12, not sure if there's any other more important ones you can think of ... i guess there's also like... terezi's theme gets a fair bit of use within the comic. can't remember if there's any particular vriska motif right now aside from Electric Guitar... idk. feel free to mess with it. just an idea
Sorry I've been sitting on this -- music stuff isn't my area of expertise
Is there anyone who can help me 1. figure out more leitmotifs and 2. help me get clips of them for people (me) who have a hard time telling them by name?

Sorry we accidentally took your boyfriend’s leitmotif and slowly chipped away at it until it’s unrecognizable. The melody is reaching for your boyfriend but can’t find him anymore. Sorry

Idk if it’s just me, but in almost every scene that’s a significant Luz and Eda interaction—for example, their fight scene and the scene of Eda giving the palistrom wood— the soundtrack has a certain music box/xylophone-esque sound, and it gets more soft and gentle. (Like their relationship)
Please tell me I’m not crazy
#someone should compile the soundtracks that play on important Luz and Eda scenes#I realize the irony of saying soft and gentle after bringing up the fight scenes#but the fight still has the specific instrument#I don’t know what instrument it is#the owl house#toh spoilers#toh#owl house#the owl house spoilers#luz noceda#eda clawthorne#edalyn clawthorne#eda the owl mom#mom Eda#music#toh music#leitmotifs

God, I love Kisara’s theme so much.
It starts with the tune of a flute and cello/bass in the background to represent Priest Seto / Kaiba. When they are in contact with Kisara, whether physically or spiritually, the sound of the piano and the harp is heard together with the flute. And finally, when the knowledge that she’s gone or has left hits Seto / Kaiba, only the piano remains.
Like Priest Seto’s leitmotif, Kisara’s shows the connection both share. However, while his is about facing a hopeless situation and overcoming it (or trying to) with her help, hers is about two individuals who meet and bond, but can never stay together (star-crossed lovers). That’s why this theme music is simply so beautiful, yet so tragic.
