I wanna be a huge nerd.

Everything by Dong-Il Kwak aka Sevin. He was the primary composer for Ragnarok Online which has some of the most influential and nostalgic soundtracks to ever exist. Literally everything he has done since has been rad too. His range is incredibly broad, he writes orchestral, rock music, jazz, club music, vocals, non-vocals, easy listening vibes to grind to, everything.

His problem however is that he's never been on a game that's been big enough to make him a household name, unlike say composing for Final Fantasy. Also he uses the alias Sevin and then also hides his name behind groups like SFA and SoundTemp, further hiding him despite his name being the one that shows up on everything that's special.

Don't just listen to what I link to click around the SFA tracks, his range is rad, dude deserves a top game to compose for.


To stick to the theme of the thread I'll also say the dungeon music for The Twinning had absolutely no right going as hard as it does. It goes so hard it became a meme unto itself because the music stopped for generic boss music before continuing after.

meow-melt that Ragnarok tune, ideal vibing for a Sunday, reminds me of the music from the 'A Short Hike' trailer, which I think is my fav trailer of any media
