Alright, so I don't want to give a review on this game, but I have to get this out there because it's been driving my up the wall since I started playing.
The sound direction in this game is absolutely fucking awful, and whoever was the sound disigner for this game aught to be fired immediately. It's 100% obvious to me now why so many people don't like the soundtrack in this game, and it's because the guy behind actually directing and designing how the soundtrack would be applied in game is fucking terrible. It pisses me off, because the actual music is great, but Sawano's soundtrack was literally sent out to die in this game.
From awkward scenes with no dialog to infuriating scenes where the music completely drowns out the audio, this game is an absolute mess when it comes to sound design. It's like they just slapped on any old song in any old place, without accounting at all for mood, tone, placing, or anything. Most of the pieces start from the beginning instead of starting a the appropriate place in the piece for the mood of the scene. This is elementary shit that's being fucked up. I genuinely have never in my life played a game with such abysmal sound direction anchoring such phenomenal music.
When Sawano is accompanied by good sound direction, you get Attack on Titan and Kill la Kill. When it's not, you get this shit.
Game's good, though.
