The latest Pokemon legends: ZA game has experienced a lot of backlash from fans for being unpolished and overpriced, but one thing I think most people can say that is positive about this game is the soundtrack. The soundtrack itself is very polished and high quality, which doesn’t seem to match up with the quality of the game sometimes.
I actually did a little digging to figure out more about why some of these tracks are so great, and was surprised to learn that a fan was hired to compose some of these tracks! Carlos Eiene, also known by the name insaneintherainmusic on Youtube, has been posting impressive video game covers for years, focusing a lot on Jazz arrangements. I enjoy Jazz music a lot, so this music is right up my alley. Here are a few of the tracks that he did for the game:
I really think it was such a great idea to hire a fan creator for a game soundtrack and hope more games will continue to do this in the future!
