[Lattka23]

where the hell did you get it, and how?!

@Lattka23 I explained this in the description :)

i think if it was worked upon from 0:47 secs till the end .. extended with more tunes... it would have been a truely epic piece.. even more so than the one that was used.

loved how it reached a climatic moment & then swooshed down to the indian sound.. was almost dark and exotic... damnit really wish it was extended >.<

i just love it it gives me a mighty feeling dunno why x3

[Robinistic]

It's nice, but its not really giving you the "Oh WOW, this game is amazing, i so want to play it." Feeling.

The normal one does.

[Guidastri]

I always thought that the Nightfall one is the worst of the themes. While prophecies and factions were calm and soothing, nightfall turned the gear into agressive. I think it doesn't suit so well. EoTN Theme was more of a ''Pompous''. I like it. But if you listen to Factions theme, it's more of a piece of art than a theme for a game. But that's how Jeremy Soule is :D. He's a legend!

I thought the Nightfall theme was like the campaign itself. I mean, you are thrown into the struggle against an evil god, something that didn't happen in either of the two first games.

Also, the themes for the two first campaigns had to be somewhat soothing, based on the way the campaigns begin. In Prophecies, you are practically in the fantasy garden of a young child, while you study at a monastery in Factions. In Nightfall, you are an army officer from the very beginning of the game.

[Guidastri]

Nice analyze. That is true when you really think about it.

@PenguinPokerPlatinum whoa never thought about it that way but, you just made my favourite campaign even better :D *thumbs up*

@Guidastri - "EoTN Theme was more of a ''Pompous''. I like it." I suppose I can agree, I think it fits so well when you first begin EoTN and are running from the Destroyers to the Asura Gate - it sounds so epic!

[Guidastri]

@ConspiracyTheorism Yes, couldn't imagine a better start for the campaign! :)

Nice song, though I like the other version better. Theme songs are supposed to be either fast paced, or have a majestic/uplifting tone. It's supposed to get someones attention and get them in the "Alright, let's play this game!" mood, excitement rather. This version doesn't quite cut it.

The original theme song for GW was a bit weak, but it got better in the newer versions, especially in GW-EN. It really has an 'Autumn' flavor' to it, I love it!

[LynnetLennMnemeni]

Honestly, I think that this one portrays the feel of Nightfall MUCH better than the other. I just wish that it was longer.

i like this one BETTER

I partially agree with Darmikau. Its not necessarily unfinished, unpolished, or incomplete as you would say but it seems like it has a different kick to it. To follow up for a Guild Wars theme song you really need to step up. We need a nice strong overture or fanfare that is precisely put together and well directed. Luckily that doesn't seem to be a problem. ;)

(I personally prefer the nice strong brass section that is nicely showcased - as always. =) )

The Whole Nightfall CD ist just superb. This song is no exactly the same.

[Darmikau]

I think this sounds wonderful, but unfinished. It's definitely as great as the actual theme that was picked, but, especially considering that it was found as a hidden file, it's probably not completed. It sounds like it's missing some instruments or vocals, it sounds unpolished, and it lacks the general "Oomph" that the other theme has that gives it that epic feeling. A little more work, and this theme could possibly surpass the chosen theme.

[Guidastri]

I agree!

[Gielio1993]

in the start it fits with the realm of torment

^^ rly nice

[zerox701]

This one could be a nice istani theme though :)

[BranShew7]

It's alright-- I'm glad they used the one they did. :P

[Guidastri]

Me too :)
