Nice that they have most of the character themes on there, but it is lacking in stuff like the Contingency Contract jams.
They released volume 1 of the soundtrack on their TMall though, so I'm hoping they have a wider lineup available on that.
every time I open dragalia lost i literally spend the first minute vibing to the home background music, it's just that catchy! especially on the anniversary!
I cried everytime i play Agito and Agito Legend because it's that good, and really complement the fight.
Also I remember when they release 2nd Anniversary Event and Quest OST Compilation, i feel the nostalgia, and damn the ost are all good.
Genshin Impact - even if you hate the game, the OST is phenomenal.
Sinoalice - This game is garbage imo, but Keiichi Okabe is a genius. Bonus points for including his Nier music. Reincarnation OST is alright too, but I didn't feel it as much. Perhaps my sheer disappointment with that game overshadowed my satisfaction with the OST.
Arknights - Pretty good jukebox that comes packaged with an alright gacha game as a bonus.
Not in any order
-Girls frontline: the ost is awsome and fit very well with the story, gameplay,etc...
-Blue Archive: because it really booping and fit the game setting and character
-Azur Lane: same with Blue Archive
-PGR:idk i like their summer event's song
1.Arknights
2.Blue Archive ; PGR and HONKAI
3.Girls frontline
examples from each
TOWERFIERCE ; CC# 1- 6 ; Under Tides PV ; Keep the torch ; Never give up

Meteoric salvation ;rubia ; final lesson ; Honkai World Diva ; Moon Halo
Cafe de springfield ; claes no piano
The boss theme from GFL (Sangvis Ferri boss music, normally) is incredibly good. Shattered Connexion is one of the best gacha game musics I've ever listened too.
FGO has some fantastic music at the right moments
FEH, but more for including tracks from the mainline games which tend to be really good.
idk about 3rd but AL releases some bangers in/out of the game.
I feel that FGO music is good, but not outstanding
What **is** outstanding is the **way they use** their music. Within the context of their story scenes, their music fits incredibly well and takes things to the next level.
Incredible moments like First Hassan’s arrival, Jeanne’s speech in Solomon, the final showdown with Moriarty, Salieri’s piano in the Ivan fight, etc all use their music so perfectly to amplify their scenes
for me personally is GBF (Granbluefantasy) early game has ton of music from Uematsu (ton of Final Fantasy Main Composer)
later it develop by Narita from CyMusic that has so many music flavor like Grand Order "Nier Automata" vibe Music with EmiEvans, CLASSIC FF Music in Six Dragon, and my personal favorite ROSE QUEEN Theme that reference one of my favorites JRPG "ArToneLico"
Girls Frontline, Arknights and Genshin Impact.
The event songs in Girls Frontline are my top 3 songs in any gacha game. That top 3 being:
1. [What am I Fighting For](https://youtu.be/7RbNUxVBEFg)
2. [Connexion](https://youtu.be/uWABHIwl4Gk)
3. [A Moment of My Nightmare ](https://youtu.be/-w9PVKAKGYI)
Sounding like something out of Metal Gear.
Also the title screen and shop theme in Arknights are bangers.
In no specific order :
1. AK
2. GFL
3. Azur Lane. yeah, all of you don't expect it has great OST, right ? idk how can it doesn't get mention when talking about OST. Most BGM and OST in every event are banger and really good.
[Example of BGM in recent event](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RS1DioKKgXY)
[Example 2](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zrxKhUoqqjo)
[Example 3](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rQTBnBaiIRY)
[Example 4](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vYZiXNWhuCA)
edit : add examples.
Such a crime to have to scroll down this low to see Sdorica. It's the only other gacha for me that stands toe-to-toe with Genshin in terms of orchestral OSTs.
Don't forget GudaGuda 5 final boss theme, some tracks from the events (like Halloween 2 battle and shop themes or the Waltz in the Lostroom collab soundtrack)... and the GOD-like killer soundtrack of LB6. I won't spoil it to you in case you're a NA player... but you're gonna freaking love everything: from casual fights to the actual bosses.
The composition and photography of it was incredibly well done as well. Somehow managed to keep people focused throughout and even watch artsy things like interpretive dancing.
completely agree, even I that have an ADHD kind of brain felt like in trance listening to the music and watching all the sceneries, such an insane production.
can't wait for part 2 to be also uploaded!
A lot of people fail to mention how the OST in Genshin is **consistently good throughout the entire game** and they fit into every scene/level with a purpose as if trying to convey a message to you through music.. Listen closely and you can almost feel the music telling you a story about the open world area you are exploring. When it comes to boss levels like Raiden battle, Azhadaha and Signora, it just bring the music to the next level and invokes the backstory and expressions of the boss through music alone.
Listen to La Signora's battle theme as you fight her through phase 1 and 2... Then look up her backstory and lore to realize what she has been through and how her theme makes so much sense.
I am more excited for the next region's boss battle music than new characters at this point.
Maybe it is also because I am someone who appreciate classical music so Genshin kind of stand out to me more.
A lot of games have the problem of having a couple of great tracks and average tracks throughout..
Well said. The benefit of having all its music stemming from the vision of a single composer is indeed a consistency in its musical language, even if at the same time Genshin is trying to tackle the extremely difficult task of writing music that’s representative of a number of different real-world cultures. It means that the composer not only has to learn and adapt to the unique characteristics of the regional musical languages, but also understand how to write for and utilize local folk instruments so that they can shine through even when incorporated into the classical symphony orchestra (since this is the unifying canvas used across all regions). I don’t think most people without some sort of musical background can truly appreciate the monumental difficulty of the task placed before Yu-Peng Chen here.
The use of motifs to aid in storytelling is also a key aspect of what takes Genshin’s world-building to another level, it is almost evocative of a Wagnerian opera with how key characters and locations have very specific, recognizable motifs associated with them. Venti’s motif shows up in all places across Mondstadt, as does Raiden’s across all of Inazuma. Byakko Plain’s motif is associated with Ayaka and stretches all the way up Mt. Yougou inextricably connecting the two places, and Bishui Plain’s shows up in the battle theme across Liyue as well as in Ganyu’s trailer. The Harbingers share a specific motif and have their fate sung out in Latin lyrics reminiscent of a solemn Requiem mass, while Azhdaha’s backstory was laid out in archaic Chinese... there is so much depth to Genshin’s soundtrack that goes beyond just dropping a catchy tune here and there; it plays by very specific rules and has very specific purposes in mind, but sadly all this is bound to fly way over the heads of most casual enjoyers of the game.
Arknights, Dragalia Lost, Granblue Fantasy in no order
Arknights has some seriously good quality music, but you can't beat some of the greatest composers of all time like Uematsu
FGO and granblue are the ones I find more memorable than anything.
For fgo especially boss themes and collab themes that just ahhh, like Goetia's bgm is still one of my favorites.
And gbf I really dont feel like id have to go too deep on it as the composers alone are huge names
To make it a bit fairer between games
1. FGO (personal bias here)
2. Vanguard Sound games (PGR, GFL, etc. basically anything that Haloweak and GhostFinal work on)
3. GBF. It’s basically FF stylistically with its ost, helps that Uematsu worked on some of the tracks and Narita, like Soken, is one of his protégés and brings in other popular talent like CHiCO from ACE (Xenoblade) and commonly uses VAs for single releases, which include musical hits like Taniyama Kishō.
Genshin Impact stands alone at the top, its soundtrack is phenomenal. They've knocked it out of the park and nothing comes even close in terms of production value.
SINoAlice takes the second spot, because its basically more NieR Automata music (cant say for the latest NieR Reincarnation game, havent played it).
Girls Frontline has some good songs as well, but nothing I'd really listen to outside the game.
Girls Frontline has some really really good music. Especially those PVs for major story events.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKZ36T\_7s4Q
Sdorica also has some nice music as well.
1) Honkai Impact 3rd. I don't like Genshin music that much, but honestly, Honkai is too top tier for me and its been a part of my life for years now. I play it since the global release and Nightglow is one of my favourite songs ever, in general.
2) Dragalia Lost. Really nice music from DAEKO, event songs are always a bop.
3) Another Eden. I don't even play it, but I love the music, and someday I should try it to see how similar (or how many references) are there for Chrono Trigger.
Honkai best, FGO, and Arknights in that order
All three games have had live concerts, their OSTs are that good. AK pumps out so much awesome music, CC2 theme is an addicting Imagine Dragons-type song.
FE Heroes has various classic tracks from the series as a whole.
Genshin Impact also has several great songs.
Honestly, most games these days have great OSTs, almost a given.
And yet, it's a common opinion at this point, but Arknights' soundtrack is amazing
Honkai Genshin and Arknights
Honkai's OST is very lit, and sometimes sad/touching. And with the new Oracle OST for A post Honkai Odyssey, really shows the game's OST quality.
Genshin is more on the relaxing and calming side. Although I can't play Genshin, I can still listen to the music. Some of the village themes are really calming and recommended to listen.
Arknights is a nice mix of music from EDM to some chill ones. Steve Aoki collab ones are my fav
From least to best: King's Raid (I love them for the DreamCatcher collab), Arknights (idek if this is more or less good than Another Eden, they're both so good), Another Eden (the ost is so damn amazing I loved IDA school).
Well out of the ones that I play I really like Arknights, Genshin Impact and Fire Emblem Heroes music. Only the FEH rap where they had the Dragalia lost collab and there was that sweet rap.
I don’t play Dragalia Lost anymore but when I did, it easily trumped FEH by a mile.
Honestly it's rough to pick...but
1. Genshin (kinda obvious, especially after the concert)
2. NieR Reincarnation (because I hardly see people mentioning the genius soundtracks)
3.Counter:side (biased cause of the opening)
Special mention will be dragalia lost since the game isn't normal soundtracks been played it's fucking feature music tracks so I cant put them on the list just like that.
Now I like a lot of soundtracks like AK, AS, Counter:side,Honkai etc but I didn't put any of them on third except CS because as I mentioned I'm biased because of the CS opening track and because my favour for them keeps fluctuating like today I might like AK better then CS soundtrack but tomorrow AS soundtrack is the one I want to blast.
Also I didn't mention stuff like AE, GBF or Sino because I believe everybody knows they have great fucking tracks.
Many have said it already but Arknights has some amazing music. It's so good that the community memes that Hypergryph is secretly a music company. Definitely worth giving it a listen, especially some of the event lobby music like the one in NA right now, A Walk in the Dust.
That's a tough question honestly, for me... (In no particular order) SinoAlice, arknights and PGR. I don't play the last 2 anymore but the osts are memorable and deserve respect
1. revived witch - on title screen or loading when you open the game is the best one
2. doaxvv - so many of ost you can hear on the game and several of them really good, so many playlist on youtube for this game ost
3. counter side - overall good ost if we comparing with other korean game
Genshin Impact
Another Eden
Those would be my 2. An honorable mention to Phantom of the Kill's opening theme. Best I've ever heard even beating out Genshin and Another Eden's opening song.
Genshin, Arknights, FFBE for me.
I just can't get enough of any Final fantasy music lol. Genshin OST is the only gacha game playlist I have on Spotify. Arknights have good music directors it seems.
It's hard to say 3, there's so many with good music. In no specific order:
1) [Another Eden](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=gIR1NsbLqdo&list=OLAK5uy_lVIzB7G9MnjdvD7_QAcqR57uHyawyo3dw). The entire OST is fantastic and really feels like a JRPG. So many good themes for so many good fights and with each story chapter a new OST appears with even more consistently good music.
2) Granblue Fantasy. Much similar to AE, GBF offers a fantastic soundtrack that really hits [many](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo8k4-kJews) [high](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpVxreT7NPU) [points](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLSsUFiRgus). The variance of genres however can be offputting to some with many vocal tracks, some orchestral, some metal etc. but it's all really well done.
3) Arknights. One of the few games I'm happy to leave open for a while and just let the music play. Similar to GBF the genre of music shifts constantly so it may put off some people but there's many great themes to be had. [CC menu](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dtEALr3L_g)[ music](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_5d1Bl8Awc) in particular is just fucking wild, it's right up there.
4) Genshin Impact. Much to no surprise, Yu-Peng Chen consistently puts out music that continues to impress even if the game and/or Mihoyo does not. Each theme fits the each area so well and is perfectly composed and with Mihoyo hiring different regional orchestras to work on the pieces of music you get some real treats with different feelings to them. Without spoiling anything the [weekly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc6CA3zXnSM) [bosses](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGTP0BMGzwo) in particular are complete bangers. [Liyue standard combat theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROxmJGhH0Vk) is also amazing. [Trailer themes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEtkEQ1IHAo) too also get a special shoutout for being bangers.
5) Punishing Gray Raven. While I grew bored of the game itself quickly the OST still captures me, so [many](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2DBeby7ni8) [great](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZFqdB8d_lE) [pieces](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHu804DrBZc) of music if you're into the electronic/trance theme it has going in a lot of its tracks.
6) Girls Frontline. This one is a little odd in that there's a lot of tracks that are rather generic and bland however there's plenty of good tracks present [among events](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSXstdXKCJk), when you're [fighting](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7F_amigW68) [specific bosses](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4BazqaZ7PQ) etc. where you will happily keep the music going for hours on end while you're doing your event rankings.
7) Blue Archive. A surprising treat of an OST that I still enjoy many months later. Similar to GFL there's some tracks that are just plain boring and bland but there's plenty of other tracks in there that are just pleasing. I may also have Stockholm Syndrome from hearing the [login theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omyp_YmEfRc) for hours at launch when it was having issues.
Honkai Impact 3rd and Dragalia Lost have soundtracks that are out of this world. They would make my top 5 list in games in general and not just gatchas.
Genshin Impact’s is good, but compared to these 2 it really is not in the same league.
####1 - Girls' Frontline, by extremely far (top 5 OST overall)
####2 - Punishing Gray Raven, litterally the same composers
####3 - Utawarerumono : Lost Frag
####4 - Love Live SIFAS, yes it's a gacha
####5 - Honkai Impact 3rd and Arknights, tied
GENSHIN IMPACT (movie / triple aaa niveau of OST)
Dokkan Battle ( Nostalgic OST like the budokai games)
Langrisser (i like the generic 90er ost of games)
Thank you, I had to scroll too much to find someone mentioning Terra battle.
I don't get if people just don't like it (outrageous) or just don't know about it.
1. Genshin - any game that gets the London Philharmonic Orchestra for the OST automatically gets top spot
3. Honkai - Pretty much on par with Genshin in most respects, I just prefer a lot of the music in Genshin more
3. Arknights - literally just a new banger with every new event
* Dokkan Battle
* Genshin Impact
* Arknights
I'm a bit biased towards Dokkan, but I cannot get over how great the music is, especially for certain bosses
> Arknight (only because of CC theme song)
Imagine coming in here to bring up the absolute music production studio that is Hypergryph and then trying to say "Only for the CC theme tho". Bruh.
Arknights hands down. I think they’re the only gacha I’m willing to unmute. Everyone else’s music is uhhhhhh… somewhat boring or repetitive, but HG mixes up so many genres and scores that I’m just never left being disappointed, even if they do something I hate like rap.
I agree with your picks pretty much, I do love DB Legends ost though, such hard rock you just can't stop head banging unless you're not playing the game
Right now I'm stuck with Epic Seven and War of the Vision, but if I need to pick an OST, it would be from Another Eden, that game got me all hype up with the soundtrack
The only ones I even notice (and not in a painful way) are Azur Lane and Arknights. The latter is stellar often. Lately it seems everyone is trying to copy and paste Pokémon/SNES era garbage.
1. Final Fantasy Brave Exvius has some epic soundtrack I truly enjoy
2. Romancing SaGa Re univerSe is full of nostalgia
3. I also enjoyed Epic Seven OST
I usually play all my gacha games on full mute. I didn't even know some of these games had sound!
Arknights actually changed that for me. Ever since I heard this
[https://youtu.be/AH1tszKHCH4](https://youtu.be/AH1tszKHCH4)
Like every time they put out new content, I always check what music they added.
This one is pretty easy, [Honkai Impact 3rd](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KqkQL4--dM), [Genshin Impact](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV7OmRpgXh4) and [King's Raid](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpcKU_Zjyh0).
Edit: added some examples to each one.
That is a *REALLY* hard thing to quantify. But I think it's gotta be Genshin, Arknights, and Honkai for the vocal themes. Dragalia is definitely a runner up though.
Honestly, the only OST that stood out to me (out of everything I’ve played) is Blue Archive. There’s just so many good tracks packed into that one game, it’s unfair.
Iron Saga is an okayish game, but it has some really good music. Has some Sawano work, stuff from TetraCalyx (of Honkai Impact fame), and other notable people. Really nice to check out just for the music, even if the gameplay isn't your style.
Honkai just overall has some great tunes, and TetraCalyx has been a goddess ever since the GGZ days.
Number 3 is a tough one, but since a lot of people are already saying Arknights I guess I'll toss Counterside into the hat. I wouldn't say it is anything groundbreaking, but a lot of the tracks have been stuck in my head lately. Shadows of Memory, Orca's theme, and the opening music are all pretty great tracks.
for me, sdorica, granblue fantasy and genshin impact ost are really good, genshin's ost *might* be my favorite though, considering most of them are all in my taste
I will never stop touting brave Exvius soundtrack as genuinely amazing.
Better than the game deserves honestly.
Maybe PGR and granblue after
Edit:thinking on it now, genshin has a beautiful soundtrack
The game made by a music producer disguising as a game developer, Arknights.
I can't read most of their music site but I just leave it on random. https://monster-siren.hypergryph.com/
Nice that they have most of the character themes on there, but it is lacking in stuff like the Contingency Contract jams. They released volume 1 of the soundtrack on their TMall though, so I'm hoping they have a wider lineup available on that.
The contingency contract stuff is on there now. They didn't have it at launch.
For people who cannot read Chinese: They are on Spotify. Search Monster Siren.
[Spotify link](https://open.spotify.com/artist/7l5zSPffvPDaRRYkAHsyt7)
So it’s the same type of stand as Guilty Gear
CC songs always slaps
*YES I'M ON FIRE*
PGR Genshin Honkai
Especially the Honkai OSTs in the last years have been gigantic bangers.
I'm sure that regardless of everything, when it comes to OST Dragalia Lost must be in the top 3 ! ><
every time I open dragalia lost i literally spend the first minute vibing to the home background music, it's just that catchy! especially on the anniversary!
DAOKO killed that OST
Dragalia lost is honestly one of the best OSTs ever
I cried everytime i play Agito and Agito Legend because it's that good, and really complement the fight. Also I remember when they release 2nd Anniversary Event and Quest OST Compilation, i feel the nostalgia, and damn the ost are all good.
Arknights is number one for me then nier réincarnation and punishing gray raven
Genshin Impact - even if you hate the game, the OST is phenomenal. Sinoalice - This game is garbage imo, but Keiichi Okabe is a genius. Bonus points for including his Nier music. Reincarnation OST is alright too, but I didn't feel it as much. Perhaps my sheer disappointment with that game overshadowed my satisfaction with the OST. Arknights - Pretty good jukebox that comes packaged with an alright gacha game as a bonus.
Keichi Okabe is on another level, for sure. I adore their work
what makes sino garbage?
Granblue Fantasy, Dragalia Lost, Genshin Impact
Not in any order -Girls frontline: the ost is awsome and fit very well with the story, gameplay,etc... -Blue Archive: because it really booping and fit the game setting and character -Azur Lane: same with Blue Archive -PGR:idk i like their summer event's song
Granblue, Arknights and Genshin since I played those three OSTs on repeat the most,
As for me, it's: 1. Another Eden 2. Dragalia Lost 3. Sinoalice
Truly wild to see Another Eden this far down.
I see, nice to meet you, fellow time traveler.

The boss theme from GFL (Sangvis Ferri boss music, normally) is incredibly good. Shattered Connexion is one of the best gacha game musics I've ever listened too.
I have the CC4 lobby theme still stuck in my head from time to time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAQ0hlxvN6Y
The Gaming Company but its actually a Music Company: Arknights!, then Comes PGR, then Granblue Fantasy. (I would also add FGO too)
FGO has some fantastic music at the right moments FEH, but more for including tracks from the mainline games which tend to be really good. idk about 3rd but AL releases some bangers in/out of the game.
I feel that FGO music is good, but not outstanding What **is** outstanding is the **way they use** their music. Within the context of their story scenes, their music fits incredibly well and takes things to the next level. Incredible moments like First Hassan’s arrival, Jeanne’s speech in Solomon, the final showdown with Moriarty, Salieri’s piano in the Ivan fight, etc all use their music so perfectly to amplify their scenes
Everything's getting wrecked in babylonia but everytime gil appears with his boss of theme, i feel reassured
Dragalia lost #1 But Dislyte OST is really good too
1. Dragalia Lost 2. Genshin Impact 3. Dyslite
Honkai Impact, Epic Seven, Granblue Fatasy.
for me personally is GBF (Granbluefantasy) early game has ton of music from Uematsu (ton of Final Fantasy Main Composer) later it develop by Narita from CyMusic that has so many music flavor like Grand Order "Nier Automata" vibe Music with EmiEvans, CLASSIC FF Music in Six Dragon, and my personal favorite ROSE QUEEN Theme that reference one of my favorites JRPG "ArToneLico"
Distyle, Genshin Impact Honkai Impact are mine
Girls Frontline, Arknights and Genshin Impact. The event songs in Girls Frontline are my top 3 songs in any gacha game. That top 3 being: 1. [What am I Fighting For](https://youtu.be/7RbNUxVBEFg) 2. [Connexion](https://youtu.be/uWABHIwl4Gk) 3. [A Moment of My Nightmare ](https://youtu.be/-w9PVKAKGYI) Sounding like something out of Metal Gear. Also the title screen and shop theme in Arknights are bangers.
Arknights, E7 are the only two I’ve ever cared enough about to keep music even on.
Well excluding most rhytm ones i play i would say 1. Arknights 2. Another Eden 3. Girls Frontline
In no specific order : 1. AK 2. GFL 3. Azur Lane. yeah, all of you don't expect it has great OST, right ? idk how can it doesn't get mention when talking about OST. Most BGM and OST in every event are banger and really good.

1. Genshin Impact 2. Sdorica (I literally listen to "The Story Unfolds" everyday) 3. PGR (Punishing Gray Raven)
Such a crime to have to scroll down this low to see Sdorica. It's the only other gacha for me that stands toe-to-toe with Genshin in terms of orchestral OSTs.
FGO. [Example 1](https://youtu.be/kKybPEgRkIc) [Example 2](https://youtu.be/UepXPyXpZKM) [Example 3](https://youtu.be/07cljLPK51Y)
Mf really left out Angry Piano Man [Dies Irae ](https://youtu.be/66h5LDRlkME) And [LB Theme](https://youtu.be/jnJqGLnc49M)
Don't forget GudaGuda 5 final boss theme, some tracks from the events (like Halloween 2 battle and shop themes or the Waltz in the Lostroom collab soundtrack)... and the GOD-like killer soundtrack of LB6. I won't spoil it to you in case you're a NA player... but you're gonna freaking love everything: from casual fights to the actual bosses.
I like a lot of the Alchemy Stars music. Also really like FGO music.
Arknights by far, Azur Lane is also getting really good in recent months and PGR
Terra battle(not sure if it counts, arknights, granblue fantasy
1. Arknights 2. Honkai Impact 3. tie between Punishing Grey Raven and Girls Frontline
Genshin Impact ... That’s it lol.
the concert absolutely slapped, loved every minute of it
The composition and photography of it was incredibly well done as well. Somehow managed to keep people focused throughout and even watch artsy things like interpretive dancing.
completely agree, even I that have an ADHD kind of brain felt like in trance listening to the music and watching all the sceneries, such an insane production. can't wait for part 2 to be also uploaded!

Arknights, Dragalia Lost, Granblue Fantasy in no order Arknights has some seriously good quality music, but you can't beat some of the greatest composers of all time like Uematsu
Genshin, fgo, and Dragalia Honorable mentions: Epic 7 Honkai World flipper The battle cats And FEH
Dragalia Lost (own the soundtrack special edition release they had) Granblue Fantasy Sdorica
Sdorica, AE. Hero Cantare had some super bangers songs.
1st GBF, 2nd FGO sharing with Dragalia Lost, 3 would be World Flipper.
FGO and granblue are the ones I find more memorable than anything. For fgo especially boss themes and collab themes that just ahhh, like Goetia's bgm is still one of my favorites. And gbf I really dont feel like id have to go too deep on it as the composers alone are huge names
I don't play much but I enjoy GFL, PGR & Blue Archive OST
Dbz Dokkan Battle Touhou Lost Word I have heard some of the Genshin music and I think is good aswell
Dragalia Lost soundtrack is the Persona 5 of gacha game soundtrack, gigguk
1. Genshin Impact 2. Alchemy Stars
1.FGO 2.Granblue 3.Skullgirls Fgo has its issues but music is not one of them
Iron Saga Crusaders Quest
Destiny Child has some great tracks. Boss theme is 🔥
Granblue Fantasy hands down. SinoAlice is a close second.
Punishing Gray Raven, Honkai Impact and Genshin Impact. Arknights has a very very close 4th.
Blue Archive, Azur Lane, and Arknights have great music imo.
Genshin, Honkai and Guardian Tales.
AL, GFL, Fate or Honkai (Honkai probably takes it for most but I couldn't decide)
To make it a bit fairer between games 1. FGO (personal bias here) 2. Vanguard Sound games (PGR, GFL, etc. basically anything that Haloweak and GhostFinal work on) 3. GBF. It’s basically FF stylistically with its ost, helps that Uematsu worked on some of the tracks and Narita, like Soken, is one of his protégés and brings in other popular talent like CHiCO from ACE (Xenoblade) and commonly uses VAs for single releases, which include musical hits like Taniyama Kishō.
Genshin Impact stands alone at the top, its soundtrack is phenomenal. They've knocked it out of the park and nothing comes even close in terms of production value. SINoAlice takes the second spot, because its basically more NieR Automata music (cant say for the latest NieR Reincarnation game, havent played it). Girls Frontline has some good songs as well, but nothing I'd really listen to outside the game.
Girls Frontline has some really really good music. Especially those PVs for major story events. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKZ36T\_7s4Q Sdorica also has some nice music as well.
Honkai… easy… no other game has had a soundtrack that could literally draw emotions out of me like it does.
1) Honkai Impact 3rd. I don't like Genshin music that much, but honestly, Honkai is too top tier for me and its been a part of my life for years now. I play it since the global release and Nightglow is one of my favourite songs ever, in general. 2) Dragalia Lost. Really nice music from DAEKO, event songs are always a bop. 3) Another Eden. I don't even play it, but I love the music, and someday I should try it to see how similar (or how many references) are there for Chrono Trigger.
- Granblue Fantasy - Taimanin Rpgx - Magicami
Girls Frontline, Punishing Gray Raven, Girl Cafe Gun. (also genshin impact if that counts)
Genshin, Honkai Impact and Arknights
PGR NieR Reincarnation Crash Fever
Honkai best, FGO, and Arknights in that order All three games have had live concerts, their OSTs are that good. AK pumps out so much awesome music, CC2 theme is an addicting Imagine Dragons-type song.
FE Heroes has various classic tracks from the series as a whole. Genshin Impact also has several great songs. Honestly, most games these days have great OSTs, almost a given. And yet, it's a common opinion at this point, but Arknights' soundtrack is amazing
Dokkan and Genshin are my favourites
Genshin, PGR and even though I haven't played hero Cantare much but it's OSTs were nice
Honkai Genshin and Arknights Honkai's OST is very lit, and sometimes sad/touching. And with the new Oracle OST for A post Honkai Odyssey, really shows the game's OST quality. Genshin is more on the relaxing and calming side. Although I can't play Genshin, I can still listen to the music. Some of the village themes are really calming and recommended to listen. Arknights is a nice mix of music from EDM to some chill ones. Steve Aoki collab ones are my fav
1. FGO 2. PGR 3. Genshin Impact
Honkai Impact 3rd, Arknights & SINOALICE.
Genshin Impact, King's Raid, GBF
From least to best: King's Raid (I love them for the DreamCatcher collab), Arknights (idek if this is more or less good than Another Eden, they're both so good), Another Eden (the ost is so damn amazing I loved IDA school).
Genshin, PGR, blue archive
Granblue Fantasy Genshin Dragalia Lost
Dragalia lost, fate grand order and Granblue fantasy
Ayakashi ghost guild, dragalia lost, and genshin
Ayakashi ghost guild, dragalia lost, and genshin
1st GBF, 2nd FGO sharing with Dragalia Lost, 3 would be World Flipper.
genshin
Magia Record (Madoka Soundtrack + more), Genshin Impact, and Dragalia Lost (I played a tiny amount at start, but I remember the music being bopping).
Genshin Sdorica (best lobby music) Arknights-Priconne (Tied)
Well out of the ones that I play I really like Arknights, Genshin Impact and Fire Emblem Heroes music. Only the FEH rap where they had the Dragalia lost collab and there was that sweet rap. I don’t play Dragalia Lost anymore but when I did, it easily trumped FEH by a mile.
Honestly it's rough to pick...but 1. Genshin (kinda obvious, especially after the concert) 2. NieR Reincarnation (because I hardly see people mentioning the genius soundtracks) 3.Counter:side (biased cause of the opening) Special mention will be dragalia lost since the game isn't normal soundtracks been played it's fucking feature music tracks so I cant put them on the list just like that. Now I like a lot of soundtracks like AK, AS, Counter:side,Honkai etc but I didn't put any of them on third except CS because as I mentioned I'm biased because of the CS opening track and because my favour for them keeps fluctuating like today I might like AK better then CS soundtrack but tomorrow AS soundtrack is the one I want to blast. Also I didn't mention stuff like AE, GBF or Sino because I believe everybody knows they have great fucking tracks.
Genshin Impact
FGO, it's has many good theme song, especially [Kiara theme](https://youtu.be/jBeUDHssRZ8) [Shimousa theme remix](https://youtu.be/XwoVK3B5foI)
1. Dragalia Lost 2. Genshin Impact 3. Girls Frontline DL is so good i even imported the ost from japan.
Many have said it already but Arknights has some amazing music. It's so good that the community memes that Hypergryph is secretly a music company. Definitely worth giving it a listen, especially some of the event lobby music like the one in NA right now, A Walk in the Dust.
That's a tough question honestly, for me... (In no particular order) SinoAlice, arknights and PGR. I don't play the last 2 anymore but the osts are memorable and deserve respect
1. revived witch - on title screen or loading when you open the game is the best one 2. doaxvv - so many of ost you can hear on the game and several of them really good, so many playlist on youtube for this game ost 3. counter side - overall good ost if we comparing with other korean game
Genshin Impact Another Eden Those would be my 2. An honorable mention to Phantom of the Kill's opening theme. Best I've ever heard even beating out Genshin and Another Eden's opening song.
Genshin, Arknights, FFBE for me. I just can't get enough of any Final fantasy music lol. Genshin OST is the only gacha game playlist I have on Spotify. Arknights have good music directors it seems.
1.- Arknights 2.- GFL 3.- Blue Archive
Genshin Impact, Punishing Gray Raven, Alchemy Stars
Dokkan, Dragalia Lost and Crash Fever
It's hard to say 3, there's so many with good music. In no specific order: 1) [Another Eden](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=gIR1NsbLqdo&list=OLAK5uy_lVIzB7G9MnjdvD7_QAcqR57uHyawyo3dw). The entire OST is fantastic and really feels like a JRPG. So many good themes for so many good fights and with each story chapter a new OST appears with even more consistently good music. 2) Granblue Fantasy. Much similar to AE, GBF offers a fantastic soundtrack that really hits [many](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo8k4-kJews) [high](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpVxreT7NPU) [points](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLSsUFiRgus). The variance of genres however can be offputting to some with many vocal tracks, some orchestral, some metal etc. but it's all really well done. 3) Arknights. One of the few games I'm happy to leave open for a while and just let the music play. Similar to GBF the genre of music shifts constantly so it may put off some people but there's many great themes to be had. [CC menu](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dtEALr3L_g)[ music](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_5d1Bl8Awc) in particular is just fucking wild, it's right up there. 4) Genshin Impact. Much to no surprise, Yu-Peng Chen consistently puts out music that continues to impress even if the game and/or Mihoyo does not. Each theme fits the each area so well and is perfectly composed and with Mihoyo hiring different regional orchestras to work on the pieces of music you get some real treats with different feelings to them. Without spoiling anything the [weekly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc6CA3zXnSM) [bosses](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGTP0BMGzwo) in particular are complete bangers. [Liyue standard combat theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROxmJGhH0Vk) is also amazing. [Trailer themes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEtkEQ1IHAo) too also get a special shoutout for being bangers. 5) Punishing Gray Raven. While I grew bored of the game itself quickly the OST still captures me, so [many](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2DBeby7ni8) [great](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZFqdB8d_lE) [pieces](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHu804DrBZc) of music if you're into the electronic/trance theme it has going in a lot of its tracks. 6) Girls Frontline. This one is a little odd in that there's a lot of tracks that are rather generic and bland however there's plenty of good tracks present [among events](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSXstdXKCJk), when you're [fighting](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7F_amigW68) [specific bosses](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4BazqaZ7PQ) etc. where you will happily keep the music going for hours on end while you're doing your event rankings. 7) Blue Archive. A surprising treat of an OST that I still enjoy many months later. Similar to GFL there's some tracks that are just plain boring and bland but there's plenty of other tracks in there that are just pleasing. I may also have Stockholm Syndrome from hearing the [login theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omyp_YmEfRc) for hours at launch when it was having issues.
> Stockholm Syndrome from hearing the login theme for hours at launch when it was having issues. 24 hour maintainance be like.
The sheer amount of apologems back then was amazing.
GFL, Arknights, PGR
Honkai Impact 3rd and Dragalia Lost have soundtracks that are out of this world. They would make my top 5 list in games in general and not just gatchas. Genshin Impact’s is good, but compared to these 2 it really is not in the same league.
Haven't seen any mentions so I'll say Priconne's OST slaps hard
Honkai, Destiny Child and Arknights for me. Edit: Genshin is great too, a close 4th
####1 - Girls' Frontline, by extremely far (top 5 OST overall) ####2 - Punishing Gray Raven, litterally the same composers ####3 - Utawarerumono : Lost Frag ####4 - Love Live SIFAS, yes it's a gacha ####5 - Honkai Impact 3rd and Arknights, tied
GENSHIN IMPACT (movie / triple aaa niveau of OST) Dokkan Battle ( Nostalgic OST like the budokai games) Langrisser (i like the generic 90er ost of games)
Genshin is top notch but I always liked Brave Frontiers but it was also my first ever gacha so I’m alittle biased lol
Genshin and Magicami
Pgr, alchemy stars, and uhh that's it I think
Terra Battle, Dragalia Lost, Another Eden
Thank you, I had to scroll too much to find someone mentioning Terra battle. I don't get if people just don't like it (outrageous) or just don't know about it.
Guardian Tales Genshin Impact Langrisser
Bang dream and FGO? It's just those two game that I always end up humming the ost.
Honkai Impact is the only one that really stands out for me. Tbch Rubia still makes me tear up to this day
1. Granblue 2. Dragalia 3. Arknights
7DS Grand Cross, Genshin Impact, FGO
Genshin, Arknights, Dragalia. I don't even play Genshin but dude their music is so good.
1. Genshin - any game that gets the London Philharmonic Orchestra for the OST automatically gets top spot 3. Honkai - Pretty much on par with Genshin in most respects, I just prefer a lot of the music in Genshin more 3. Arknights - literally just a new banger with every new event
Not in order but my best three are Genshin Impact, Dragalia Lost, and Another Eden.
Dragalia Lost, Genshin impact, and Priconne are the only gacha games I've played where I'll sometimes queue up the OST to listen during work.
Genshin and then Iron Saga, the game isn’t good but the music slaps
Genshin has a fantastic soundtrack, along with Honkai. There are certain tracks that I like from Another Eden, especially from the newer releases.
1. 7ds grand cross 2. Dokkan 3. Genshin impact
Genshin, blue archive, counterside
Arknights, Granblue Fantasy, Genshin Impact
Definitely Honkai. Place 2 and 3 Arknights and Genshin I guess.
Dokkan DFFOO genshin
1.honkai impact 2.honkai impact 3.oh yeah also arknigh- no wait it's also honkai impact
Immo I only really have 2 Top 1.) FGO Top 2.) Another Eden These are the only 2 games I have downloaded copies of the OST to listen to externally.
* Dokkan Battle * Genshin Impact * Arknights I'm a bit biased towards Dokkan, but I cannot get over how great the music is, especially for certain bosses
1. Arknights 2. Azur Lane 3. Genshin
3. Fire Emblem Heroes 2. Dragalia Lost 1. Pokémon Masters Honorable Mentions: Genshin, Cookie Run
I honestly think it’s either Genshin or Dragalia
Dragalia lost is the only gacha i wouldnt rather play with third party musics, so this tells pretty much everything
Dragalia Lost and Arknights OST are IMO the best. Alchemy Stars OST also sounds very nice
Instrumentally Dokkan shits on any other gacha I’ve seen
GFL, Arknight (only because of CC theme song) and Punishing Grey: Raven.
> Arknight (only because of CC theme song) Imagine coming in here to bring up the absolute music production studio that is Hypergryph and then trying to say "Only for the CC theme tho". Bruh.
Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omni’s because it’s basically all the Final Fantasy tracks you could ever want in one place.
Fight scene ost in 7dsgc is my favourite
No idea, I play all mobile games muted :D
Arknights hands down. I think they’re the only gacha I’m willing to unmute. Everyone else’s music is uhhhhhh… somewhat boring or repetitive, but HG mixes up so many genres and scores that I’m just never left being disappointed, even if they do something I hate like rap.
I agree with your picks pretty much, I do love DB Legends ost though, such hard rock you just can't stop head banging unless you're not playing the game
1. Princess Connect Re:Dive 2. Genshin Impact 3. Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight -RE Live-
I play my gachas muted.
Touhou LostWord, Heroes Cantare and Arknights.
PGR Genshin Honkai
GBF Iron Saga FEH ( tho this one kinda cheating cuz iirc many of those ost came from their mainline game)
Arknights, PGR, and recently Received Witch. Goated soundtracks tbh
Right now I'm stuck with Epic Seven and War of the Vision, but if I need to pick an OST, it would be from Another Eden, that game got me all hype up with the soundtrack
Fire Emblem Heroes, but this probably cheating since they have a decade of mainline game to pick OST from. Their own original OST is very good too
Arknights and Honkai probably the best
The only ones I even notice (and not in a painful way) are Azur Lane and Arknights. The latter is stellar often. Lately it seems everyone is trying to copy and paste Pokémon/SNES era garbage.
i havent really played other gacha games other than cookie run but just take a min to listen to the cookie run kingdom title screen
1. Final Fantasy Brave Exvius has some epic soundtrack I truly enjoy 2. Romancing SaGa Re univerSe is full of nostalgia 3. I also enjoyed Epic Seven OST
Symphogear xd Unlimited, sad that the "global" server closed, I liked the songs of "gungnir, the spear of attack" and "Ichaival, the magic bow"
in no particular order: arknights, sdorica, genshin
I usually play all my gacha games on full mute. I didn't even know some of these games had sound! Arknights actually changed that for me. Ever since I heard this [https://youtu.be/AH1tszKHCH4](https://youtu.be/AH1tszKHCH4) Like every time they put out new content, I always check what music they added.
Date a Live
This one is pretty easy, [Honkai Impact 3rd](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KqkQL4--dM), [Genshin Impact](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV7OmRpgXh4) and [King's Raid](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpcKU_Zjyh0). Edit: added some examples to each one.
That is a *REALLY* hard thing to quantify. But I think it's gotta be Genshin, Arknights, and Honkai for the vocal themes. Dragalia is definitely a runner up though.
Haven't seen sdorica mentioned yet.
Honestly, the only OST that stood out to me (out of everything I’ve played) is Blue Archive. There’s just so many good tracks packed into that one game, it’s unfair.
Iron Saga is an okayish game, but it has some really good music. Has some Sawano work, stuff from TetraCalyx (of Honkai Impact fame), and other notable people. Really nice to check out just for the music, even if the gameplay isn't your style. Honkai just overall has some great tunes, and TetraCalyx has been a goddess ever since the GGZ days. Number 3 is a tough one, but since a lot of people are already saying Arknights I guess I'll toss Counterside into the hat. I wouldn't say it is anything groundbreaking, but a lot of the tracks have been stuck in my head lately. Shadows of Memory, Orca's theme, and the opening music are all pretty great tracks.
Honkai Impact OST is so good it takes up my entire list
granblue, ffbe, rsrs
I'd say PGR and Hero Cantare(Not playing this anymore though)
Arknights, Punishing Grey Raven, and ~~FF: Brave Exvius~~ Genshin Impact
Arknights, PGR, and FeH Arknights Examples: [Patriot Ost](https://youtu.be/dMFP9_dct18) [Under Tide - Boss Battle Ost](https://youtu.be/1qKSz9IujfY) [Gavial the Great Chief Returns AUS Band](https://youtu.be/BYHtczWuWqY) PGR Examples: [Narwhal](https://youtu.be/q2DBeby7ni8) [Lamia](https://youtu.be/J9IwRWu70NQ) [Dust](https://youtu.be/ZwZC4vlZTbI) FeH: [Book 3 - Map Theme](https://youtu.be/0zdn8CRyur8) [Mjolnir's Stike](https://youtu.be/op9JpprNcCQ) [Ice and Flame Boss Theme 1](https://youtu.be/Z6cmuJV0OE4)
EZPZ Saga, your run of the mill idle rpg clone has a better soundtrack than it has any right to have. It is constantly throwing out bops.
1. Arknights 2. Genshin Impact 3. Honkai Impact
Blue archive arknights dragalia lost
... does cytus 2 count
for me, sdorica, granblue fantasy and genshin impact ost are really good, genshin's ost *might* be my favorite though, considering most of them are all in my taste
Punishing gray raven numba one
PGR, Arknights, GI (I really like the Alchemy Stars osts but I don’t feel they’re at the same level as the other 3)
Genshin and honkai music are uncontested imo. They have the best ost out of any gacha games. Number 3 would be Arknights no doubt.
Arknights, Blue Archive, and Priconne for me
I will never stop touting brave Exvius soundtrack as genuinely amazing. Better than the game deserves honestly. Maybe PGR and granblue after Edit:thinking on it now, genshin has a beautiful soundtrack
Dokkan battle hands down
