    The Music in RIFT is seriously underrated

    As title says, the music in this game is rarely spoken about in "Great Videogame music" threads. But after playing it again for the last month, I find myself just chilling out to the music on Youtube now.

    Try going through Seratos and Morban late at night, lights out and headphones on

    For me it was that there were too few tracks, not the quality.

    Yea, Rift does have some beautiful music. I love the music from the Atagarian Well.

    Though I hate the zone I love the epic music from Steppes of Infinity when you get to the Infinity Gate part of the zone.

    Many great MMOs are underrated just because they are not WoW.

    The Rift Soundtrack is alright. I don't think many songs tend to stick out very well, but they're very Martin Shore/LotR soundtrack feeling. Most of them are pretty simple hymns, but they're good for what they are. The game is still bad, though.

    I agree, it's part of what got me in to making my own soundtrack music shameless plug inc....

    Parts 1,2&3 actually have a fan-fiction story attached to them, its over on the rift forums. the series is called unearthing the dendrome. also theres fae yule and the rise which are also rift inspired.

    I swear there are times when I play other games and think the music is VERY similar. Seems like one of the Call of Duty games makes me think of RIFT. Modern Warfare maybe?

    I listened, OP. There's a lot of weird low-quality white noise in the background whenever the lady is doing her thing.

    Honestly, the music just seems... lackluster. Too simple. I'm not being blown away. I was a heavy player of Rift back in like 2012~2013, sadly got pushed away when they went F2P, wasn't happy about that. I liked the Meridian music, but allow me to ask you what you think of this:



    I realize one could argue this is unfair, as Square Enix is a far bigger, far older and more successful company than Trion, but still, I don't feel like it should be that hard to get some truly high quality decent music made, eh? Maybe I'm wrong, you tell me. Ever since I started playing FF XIV ARR, I've stopped caring about looking back at music from Rift or even WoW, too much, this stuff just seems so much more natural and alive.
