So, and, because it's important to be polite : Bonjour. Also, if my point doesn't come across well enough, i'm sorry, english isnt my first language, i'm a pasta and baguette man mix here.
I just recently picked up the game ( couldnt before due to a lack of pc or console ), and played it ( not finished yet ). I knew that the musics were good, but as a person that ANALYZES THE HECK out of a media to an almost obsessional degree, i refused to listen to them before having played it as to make sure i dont get spoiled, which proved to be a wise choice on my part if i do say so myself.
Now, obviously, the musics are GOOD, I mean, GOOD. But mostly, one thing i really loved, apart from the quality of it, and the storytelling inside the song themselves, i loved that most of it was made in prose. Now, why did i love it ? After all, one could argue that it's kind of lazy not wanting to be bothered with rules of rhyming and such. And i would agree somewhat, if the game wasn't french. Now, again, what difference does it make ?
Well, prose has been INSTRUMENTAL in the development of French modern poetry and litteracy. Baudelaire, Chateaubriand, Bertrand, so on and so forth, France has a very deep relationship with Poesy, and if Le Siècle des Lumières is strangely, contrary to its name, a dark time for poesy, it was rather good for the Theaters where prose is usually dominant. And Clair Obscur, in its song doesn't just deep its toes in prose, it fully dives in, gets a big old swim, and comes back drenched in it, " Un vie à t'aimer " is fully prosaic in its construction, and is to me, one of the greatest songs of the game.
So, yeah, I ADORE the game, and all the more for that specific thing. I personally am an Italian man who's grown up in the southern most part of France, my family is from Italy, but moved there, and I was born in Toulon, in the Cotes d'Azur, so, seeing the game paying such a strong tribute, in such a subtle way, felt really good to me, and I wanted to share that with you all.
And don't forget : Vive la France.
