It deserves to be praised, it's pretty good . Is it better than:
FF 4-5-6-7(remakes included)-8-9, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Chross, Xenogears (probably missing some)?
Nah.

A woman starts singing and people lose their minds...
It's all basic orchestration and minimalistic style.

In terms of composition FF9 music is more complex and varied.
There is probably more work in the ragtime of FF9 (single instrument) than on any of E33 tracks.

(sadly Final Fantasy games fully embraced minimalism after 9)

Nope. It's a misguided attempt to make turn based combat "exciting".

C1 for me

Ngl, SMT5's OST is a fucking letdown compared to SMT4's.

I only really like Crazy Dancing Murder from SMT5.

 

[xenosys]

Game of the Decade talk is just nonsense.

It's not fit to lace Elden Ring or BG3's shoes.

It's arguable as to whether it's even the best JRPG or 'JRPG-like' this decade, let alone game.

It's alright. But I am not feeling it like I did with SMT4. But if it's any consolation, the SMT5 OST is still miles ahead of the Metaphor OST, which is probably Atlus' (and Meguro's in particular) weakest work.

 

[MMaRsu]

Yeah Metaphor ost is doodoo I said so when they revealed the dumb chanting battle music lmaoo

Like wtf were they thinking

I didnt even bother finishing Metaphor I might go back to it but eh..

Probably one of the best battle themes in the game and it gets close to SMT IV's greatness

This one is great too imo



And this one is dope too

 

[skit_data]

No, not the best game in the decade (that'd be Persona 5 IMO) but it's very nice to see a non-japanese developer creating a game heavily influenced by turn based JRPGs.
Expedition 33 is an important game for the genre in that sense, it shows that there is both commercial value and cultural relevance in turn based RPGs.

Edit: I guess Baldurs Gate 3 would also fall in to the genre and it's arguably even better than Persona 5. They're pretty different so my preference could change on a day-to-day basis tbh.

Which is in no way less annoying than people like you who seem so committed to this idea that "everything sucks now and things used to be better when I was younger" that you refuse to accept any new game might actually be one of the best games in the genre.
It's bad for someone to say Expedition 33 is their favorite game of the decade or one of their favorite JRPGs, but back in 2016 when everyone was bending over backwards to praise the newly released Persona 5 you probably didn't have a problem with it, right ?

If you like Persona 5 better that's good for you. But E33 reviewed just as well among critics and users and sold better (compared to the P5 in the same time frame). By every metric we have, it's just as good of a game as P5.

Good thing im not one of those.
Let's look at the facts, it might help you understand.
Here is the exact quote from OP :

But do you guys think expedition 33 is the best game in this decade as some people say, or those just soulborne lunatic crowd talking? lol.

Now look at my answer to this question :

E33 is a good game and a great experience, but absolutely not the game of the decade, nor the rpg of the decade.
Persona 5 runs circle around it and is not even tired.

it is the game of the decade for the ticktock dopamine addict crowd that need their fix one way or another. But for them a decade is 10 seconds.

Do you still feel hurt ?
If so you are a dumbass and i can't do anything for you.

SMT IV must be up the with Castlevania SOTN and Mega Man X when it comes to best videogame OSTs ever.

 

[Boss Mog]

It's going to be hard to reason with you OP if you think Metaphor is a great JRPG.

You are irrefutably, irrevocably, 100% correct.
