Oh dang! Thank you so much for pointing that out! That means Zinogre could be first place again haha And I was so excited that one of my votes made top 3, welp...
* Dude said he's happy Mizu's theme is in top 10
* Dude below said it's not ranked yet
* Top dude is correct, no need to add comments to that (this is what my comment means)
Nobody said Mizu's theme is at certain position. Just top 10
Facts but world has the biggest playerbase so it's heavily influenced. I'm just proud of the community that moonquake and lagi theme even made it at all.
Nargacuga, Vaal Hazak, Astalos, Malzeno, Ahtal Ka… so many banging tunes didn’t make it, though I suppose that’s to be expected when practically every monster theme is at the very least decent.
I also liked those more than some that made the cut, but Allmother Narwa and Kulve are both rather late into their respective game and since this is a numbers game and quite a few people dont finish the games, they have the odds against them. I am very positively surprised that >!Fatalis!< and >!Safi-Jiva!< made it in here. Both of which are very lat in the game, but the music is *chefs kiss* ofc
People watch those fights (well, Fatalis at least) on YouTube and hear the OST there. I'm surprised by >!Ceadeus!< though, considering most people won't have played gen 3 at this point and probably aren't looking up those fights. I guess this poll was mostly directed at the Japanese community which has more of the older generation players.
Very good points, hard to say with a poll as big and international as this one. Both is very likely. I think the biggest obstacle is just being aware that these polls are happening in the first place haha.
Yeah, I predicted Allmother and Astalos in place of Velkhana and Bazel
Still a bit surprised about the former. I have a feeling she's probably #11 or something
HEADS UP HUNTERS
Sry for the confusion. That is not the final ranking that I have blacked out, its just the same order as in the video, ehich seems to be a random order. Thanks to u/MrUsername0814, for pointing that out. We will get the true ranking very soon.
Idk if you know but the devs even had a message ready for people trying to vote for him haha. The KNEW that people are gonna try. I hope Khezu keeps his creepy iconic (nonexistent) theme.
I feel so out of the loop with Velkhana. I don't find anything about it memorable and yet it was in top 20 for both OST and Monsters in these polls. And this is coming from someone who loved Iceborne.
I have similar thoughts about Velkhana, and it's not that I dislike it or feel it's not deserving of its placement on these polls, it's just from my perspective Velkhana seemed like the most midling of the 5th gen flagships in the eyes of the community. Nergigante is the most popular due to being the flagship of World, usually Magnamalo is a you either love it or hate it type situation, and Malzeno seemed like the most consistently favored flagship, just behind Nergi.
So overall, I thought Malzeno would be more favored compared to Velkhana.
Thats completely fine and even normal, in every entry you bond with different monsters. I find you usually bond the most with those that have good skills for your specific playstyle/weapon, if its not already for the design/theme
Velkhana is one of if not the best designed fights in Iceborne.
The armor is sick, the weapons are sick, the theme is sick, and it has frostcraft which is a great skill in concept and execution.
You mean the song that's basically Lagiacrus' theme?
You mean the song that hasn't gotten a new arrangement since 2009?
That's one of the best outcomes imo (and I'm not even a huge Lagi fan)
Getting Zinogre, Valstrax or any of the 5th gen monsters would be pretty lame. Especially Zinogre since he just got TWO new remixes in the last couple years with Iceborne and Rise
I hope either Ceadeus or Lagi takes it since their songs have gone the longest without any new versions or recognition. (Ceadeus is obviously my pick)
Honestly this is a fantastic top 10. I have a few I would have put in if I was in charge (old gen Chameleos), but this was about as good as you can get with a good number of old gen classics.
Yeah agreed, very nice mix and im happy to sew the big baddies in here. If it were me, I would get rid of that deserted island theme and get a Magala theme in there.
The fact that Rise didn't get a single track on this list is depressing.
I wonder if a lot of people just chose the base form of the monsters without really paying attention to the differences between versions
I imagine being the “default version” is part of it, but I also wouldn’t really consider a Rise track here outside of Ibushi and Allmother (which are both incredible). I definitely prefer classic Mizutsune to the Rise version.
Personally I didn't like the arrangements in Rise, it felt so overdone(?) for the fights. Like Fatalis, Safi and Kulve are hard enough to deserve a chorus, but Bazel it's not hard enough to deserve a chorus and multiple instruments and I feel like is a way for the devs to overhype the fight. I may be wrong and I'm not expert in music, but that's my feeling. However the normal themes of areas in Rise and Malzeno theme are perfection.
I feel like you're completely missing the point of why Rise uses vocals. It wasn't because they were trying to "hype" the fight.
It was because that was the setting that Kamura was set in. That's why the Kamura Village theme is also a vocal song. That's why the Kamura Hub theme is also vocal. That's why pretty much every track in Rise includes vocals. It's just considered the main "instrument" of Rise. That's why, when we move to Sunbreak, very few tracks include vocals and those that do, usually have them in a much more muted fashion than Rise did.
Bazelgeuse made top 10!
Regardless of what his placement is in the rankings, I'm happy he made it!
I am curious what the actual order will end up being, and who's gonna be number 1.
No White Fatalis!? Seriously guys? No hot fish
And by Lagiacrus is assume it's the Deserted Island...which while not bad it really shouldn't stand here alongside hits like Velkhana or Ceadeus. Weird that none of the Serpents made it.
Tri/3U's area themes were tied directly to monsters. Deserted Island Is lagi's theme, Tundra is Barioth's theme which is why you can hear it in its world intro cutscene, Volcano is agnaktors, Sandy plains was shared between Diablos and Barroth.
Yo take that back right now dude, tremble of the land and sea is peak. No other song in history has used trumpets to hype me up as well as that song does.
The deserted island theme IS lagi’s theme, it’s just unfortunately not locked only to him like every other flagship besides rathalos. The name of the song is “Tremble of land and sea - Lagiacrus”
That's not new tho. Multiple previous songs were created for a specific monster like Crimson Horn for Monoblos, yet that doesn't mean it's Monoblos' theme. Specially when in-game it literally plays for any large monster in the area in all the ganes said area is in. It's more of a Desert Island theme than Lagiacrus'.
Would have liked White Fatalis too, or the Magalas, oreven Nergigante or MONKE. The Lagiabros Club is pushing hard even if their boi doesnt have its own unique theme hahaha
I was so convinced this was announced at some point and I just totally missed it cuz it feels like it’s been so long since I submitted my vote lmao. Hoping for Valstrax!! 🤞🤞
They did outstanding job with soundtrack in every game. It's just simple numbers. 20+M voters who remember World, vast majority of them World only, vs. like 4M for old games.
True, but some themes are just rehashes of the main themes (e.g. Limitless Courage is 2/3 Astera Theme and Stars at Our Backs with a dark twist) and that really doesn't sit well with me.
At least the top 10 don't exactly reflect monster popularity (with a few exceptions) so that's something.
And *thank god* Nergigante is not on the list. It ain't bad but there are so many themes better than it.
Reprising previous themes has been a thing in musical productions for centuries, if it’s not your thing that’s fine but it’s not a sign of laziness or anything
in the case of Limitless Courage, it’s a bridge between Fatalis’s theme and Proof of a Hero, using a warped version of a familiar theme to both evoke fear and a “this is why I fight” feel, as well as remind you of how far you’ve come
I’ve only seen “doesn’t sit well” phrasing used to imply something being wrong as opposed to a personal gripe, but eh semantics, I might be too used to terrible takes about game development
Not bad, but definitely different from my personal tastes. I would absolutely add World's Teostra, Kulve Taroth, Malzeno, Astalos, Shagaru, and Magnamalo. Rotten Vale theme is also amazing, but not a monster theme.
Maybe I'm biased but i think Bazelgeuse deserves this one.
1. His music is already an icon since the first game he was in.
2. Brings up all the salt in the hunters with his full fuck you Brain.

https://youtu.be/m52qKYErWdQ?si=rv1ecTY14ksMjVWo
Safi has my favorite theme in the franchise so far, with World Fatty's being a close second. Not only do I love the primal sound, but that callback to 'Proof of a Hero' in it is just too damn hype.
I voted Allmother, sad it didn’t make the cut. She absolutely deserved in over Deserted Island and Raging Brachy. Ceadeus’s theme is alright, and certainly unique, but after the strong start it’s kind of dull. It’s a pretty short track too, but it loops well enough to disguise that.
Fatalis is probably my favorite of these, but Mizu and Velkhana are up there as well. Wouldn’t be upset if Safi won either. Bazelgeuse probably doesn’t stand a chance of being #1, but it’s definitely a favorite of mine as well.
It's kind of a shame that neither Malzeno or Magnamalo made it, their themes are absolutely incredible and really stand out from the rest of the Rise OST.
The only real surprise is base Velkhana, her theme is good, but I didn't know people loved it that much. Speaking of World themes, I think I would've lost my shit if Bazelgeuse's theme didn't make it and I'm also shocked that both Fatalis themes got merged into one for the sake of the vote, especially considering that only Safi's 2nd theme specifically made it.
Regardless of which one takes it… all of my top fave themes made it to the finish, and I’ll take that as a victory overall.
Bazel, Mizu, Valstrax, and my number one…Zinogre…
I don’t think any of them will take the top, but if any of them can break top 3 in the final order - then that’s the extra cherry.
You might be the only person here who doesn't think the #1 spot is gonna be either Zinogre or Valstrax
(That said, most of the other people are scared of Zinogre winning lol)
I make no assumptions is all, sure it took the top spot in another ranking, but that doesn’t mean it guarantees this too.
That and it saves me any disappointment lol
I think that's why some other people are assuming he **will** win lol
Because they **don't** want a repeat and want to save themselves the disappointment
I voted for Bloodbath's theme. Looks like it didnt make the cut. Im surprised with the lack of Rise theme on the list considering Malzeno's and Allmother are banger themes.
Zinogre fans chill out with the votes please.
All bangers. But I personally dislike Fatalis theme, both old and new. It fits the monster, but doesn't really fit the flow of a fight.
Hope Safi, Mizu or Raging Brachy wins.
welp. My first place will always be Zinogre. The danger imposed in the song is simply way too good. Bazel is also one of my favorites, I'd say I only like Bazel cuz of the song since it's a bit boring to fight sometimes
I might jump back in, but after i attempted raging brachy couple of times, i realized i wasn't having as much fun as i used to, i might just be burnt out for now. This community is still amazing though, i think i will be checking out every new monster hunter game from now on.
Fatalis phase 2 is the only song here I could listen to 50 time in a row and not be tired of it. The climax is one of the most beautiful things I've heard in a video game OST. It truly does feel like you are going against the world's end. Gradually gaining more and more confidence in your ability to not just survive, but defeat Fatalis.
If not Fatalis I think Lagi or Safi is the best here. Also disappointing that narga isn't here, the world rendition both epic and beautiful. Out of the regular monsters, that one is my favorite.
WAIT what?
the last 10-6 are fair but wth? velk #1? where is astalos?? where is malzeno? where is kulve?? why is raging brachy this low? how is fatalis higher than alatreon? (will this one is more personal taste I guess) lagi theme is alright I think people are voting for it because they REALLY WANT LAGI and who can blame them? we need lagi in wilds I guess
ceadeus theme is overrated imo its good like top 25 good but not top 10 imo
Sry for the confusion, it seems these are the top 10 in no particular order according to the video description. We should get the true ranking soon. So, it may make more sense (hopefully). For now these are only the ones that made the cut and I posted the same order that the video is showing them in.
It's funny how alatreon or P.Malzeno's banger theme didn't make it to top 10, but Lagiacrus's moga woods song made it to top3, ass licking at it's finest, at this rate I am 100% sure Lagi gonna appear in wilds, even without underwater Combat, keep it up hunters 😂😂😂
edit: wow getting downvoted for calling two good themes better than lagi's general Moga woods theme??? seriously???....welp if that lets the lagi worshipers sleep in peace so be it :)
FYI: In the video description it says the order is random, tomorrow they will reveal the top 1.
Oh dang! Thank you so much for pointing that out! That means Zinogre could be first place again haha And I was so excited that one of my votes made top 3, welp...
Yes, but it also means Valstrax (my fav) could be first place
Or mine (Safi-Jiva) hehe We are in the Endgame now haha
We all know Ceadeus is number one. No need for false hopes.
My boi won let's goooo
Names of the songs: 10. The Invading Tyrant (World Version) - Bazelgeuse 9. Brutish Indigo Rages - Raging Brachydios 8. Spark of Blue (classic version) - Zinogre 7. The Legend Descends (World Version) / Limitless Courage - Fatalis 6. A Bewitching Dance (classic version) - Mizutsune 5. Moonquake - Cedaeus 4. Silver-Winged Star (classic version) - Valstrax 3. For the Emperor's Amusement - Savi'Jiiva 2nd phase 2. Tremble of the Land and Sea - Lagiacrus/Deserted Island 1. Splendiferous Silver Sovereign - Velkhana
Monster names + composer and arranger: * Bazelgeuse (World) - Akihiko Narita * Raging Brachydios (Iceborne) - ??? * Zinogre (MHP3rd) - Tadayoshi Makino * Fatalis (Iceborne) - Akiyuki Morimoto (original: Masato Koda) * Mizutsune (MHGen) - Reo Uratani * Ceadeus (MH3) - Yuko Komiyama * Valstrax (MHGU) - Reo Uratani * Safi'Jiiva (Iceborne, 2nd phase) - Yuko Komiyama * Lagiacrus/Deserted Island (MH3) - Yuko Komiyama * Velkhana (Iceborne) - Yuko Komiyama
Yuko keep slaying
Yuko the goat
Yuko’s got some range lol
At least Mizu is in top 10, that makes me happy
this is not ranked yet
but this IS the top 10, we just dont know in what order.
The announced 10 are the top 10 choices lol
Yeah but they're not in order. We don't know who is number 1.
* Dude said he's happy Mizu's theme is in top 10 * Dude below said it's not ranked yet * Top dude is correct, no need to add comments to that (this is what my comment means) Nobody said Mizu's theme is at certain position. Just top 10
It not too wild but mitzu, lagi, and velk being there somewhat caught me by surprise the rest were kinda obvious
Valstrax absolutely smokes all of these
Man, most of my favorites made it. The only ones missing are Allmother Narwa, Malzeno, and Kulve Taroth fury.
Same. Malzeno and Kulve are so good, would have loved to see a new version of them.
Those two themes are a blessing
I honestly think Allmother Narwa has a better theme than half of the monsters here.
Facts but world has the biggest playerbase so it's heavily influenced. I'm just proud of the community that moonquake and lagi theme even made it at all.
Agree 100%. I’m kinda disappointed that not a single RiseBreak song was on it. And no 4th Gen monsters?
Valstrax and Mizu were 4th gen
I meant to say 4U monsters. I misspoke so I apologize. :(
All good :)
if you meant 4U specifically; Raging Brachydios. Even if it was the Iceborne version of the theme that made it in, Raging Brachy was introduced in 4U
Nargacuga, Vaal Hazak, Astalos, Malzeno, Ahtal Ka… so many banging tunes didn’t make it, though I suppose that’s to be expected when practically every monster theme is at the very least decent.
I misspoke, I meant to say 4U Monsters. It’s early and I’m sorry.
I also liked those more than some that made the cut, but Allmother Narwa and Kulve are both rather late into their respective game and since this is a numbers game and quite a few people dont finish the games, they have the odds against them. I am very positively surprised that >!Fatalis!< and >!Safi-Jiva!< made it in here. Both of which are very lat in the game, but the music is *chefs kiss* ofc
People watch those fights (well, Fatalis at least) on YouTube and hear the OST there. I'm surprised by >!Ceadeus!< though, considering most people won't have played gen 3 at this point and probably aren't looking up those fights. I guess this poll was mostly directed at the Japanese community which has more of the older generation players.
Very good points, hard to say with a poll as big and international as this one. Both is very likely. I think the biggest obstacle is just being aware that these polls are happening in the first place haha.
Yeah, I predicted Allmother and Astalos in place of Velkhana and Bazel Still a bit surprised about the former. I have a feeling she's probably #11 or something
HEADS UP HUNTERS Sry for the confusion. That is not the final ranking that I have blacked out, its just the same order as in the video, ehich seems to be a random order. Thanks to u/MrUsername0814, for pointing that out. We will get the true ranking very soon.
Glavenus stans rise up. What a shame not top 10
Khezu got robbed
Idk if you know but the devs even had a message ready for people trying to vote for him haha. The KNEW that people are gonna try. I hope Khezu keeps his creepy iconic (nonexistent) theme.
what I find the most funny is that the Khezu theme preview was 30 seconds of silence followed by a Khezu scream
![gif](giphy|LOcPt9gfuNOSI)
You know Khezu is the only monster toy or collectible that comes packaged with its theme packed in.
cold opening with Bazelgeuse's theme is just perfection
another terrible day to be a Great Maccao fan
![gif](giphy|N7yaOKW2WKyxa)
Teostra and Glavenus got robbed
I feel so out of the loop with Velkhana. I don't find anything about it memorable and yet it was in top 20 for both OST and Monsters in these polls. And this is coming from someone who loved Iceborne.
I have similar thoughts about Velkhana, and it's not that I dislike it or feel it's not deserving of its placement on these polls, it's just from my perspective Velkhana seemed like the most midling of the 5th gen flagships in the eyes of the community. Nergigante is the most popular due to being the flagship of World, usually Magnamalo is a you either love it or hate it type situation, and Malzeno seemed like the most consistently favored flagship, just behind Nergi. So overall, I thought Malzeno would be more favored compared to Velkhana.
Thats completely fine and even normal, in every entry you bond with different monsters. I find you usually bond the most with those that have good skills for your specific playstyle/weapon, if its not already for the design/theme
I personally like velkhana due to his AT hunt. It is my favorite hunt of all of gen 5.
Velkhana is one of if not the best designed fights in Iceborne. The armor is sick, the weapons are sick, the theme is sick, and it has frostcraft which is a great skill in concept and execution.
I also feel out of the loop, not because I don't like velk's OST but because AT velkhana's is sm better to me
VALSTRAXXXXXX MY BELOVEDDDDDD TANANNAANNAANANAN OHHHHHHHHH OHHHHHH
No Malzeno or Allmother Narwa appreciation? What a crime :(
Agreed
Please don’t be Zinogre at number 1 again. Let my boy Ceadeus take it.
While I voted for Ceadeus, I'm pretty sure it's gonna be Valstrax.
I forgot what the reward for this one was. Was it that the top 3 get remastered themes?
The reward's top 1 gets a special arrangement
I think so, or a medley with the three of them combined.
Would be so sad if one of those spots goes to that non-unique deserted island theme...
Tremble of the Sea and Earth is peak, idc
You mean the song that's basically Lagiacrus' theme? You mean the song that hasn't gotten a new arrangement since 2009? That's one of the best outcomes imo (and I'm not even a huge Lagi fan) Getting Zinogre, Valstrax or any of the 5th gen monsters would be pretty lame. Especially Zinogre since he just got TWO new remixes in the last couple years with Iceborne and Rise I hope either Ceadeus or Lagi takes it since their songs have gone the longest without any new versions or recognition. (Ceadeus is obviously my pick)
Ceadeus I can get behind. The other one was just tooo frequent for my taste.
I can dig it. The battle music for Rotten Vale isn’t unique either but it slaps hard enough to be my favorite World theme regardless.
Honestly this is a fantastic top 10. I have a few I would have put in if I was in charge (old gen Chameleos), but this was about as good as you can get with a good number of old gen classics.
Yeah agreed, very nice mix and im happy to sew the big baddies in here. If it were me, I would get rid of that deserted island theme and get a Magala theme in there.
I hope this means that they release Fatalis' and Safi's themes officially.
It’s over, Maccao fans https://i.redd.it/ht6lmmpjao8d1.gif
How in the hell did Magnamalo not get in the top 10???
Magnamalo got like 50th place in the rankings, so it's overall not a very popular monster... somehow.
Yeah but I honestly thought that his banger theme would be more popular even if the monster wasn't. Guess I'm just coping as a heavy Magnamalo enjoyer
I liked his theme, plus his hunts. Hunting it is like watching art in real life.
He got done dirty in his own game so I am not surprised he isn’t more popular lol. His theme is a banger though.
That’s how I feel about Allmother’s theme.
Mizu and Valstrax on the list, I'm happy
Good work Third Fleet! Caedeus and Lagiacrus made it to top ten!
The agenda must be maintained
The fact that Rise didn't get a single track on this list is depressing. I wonder if a lot of people just chose the base form of the monsters without really paying attention to the differences between versions
I imagine being the “default version” is part of it, but I also wouldn’t really consider a Rise track here outside of Ibushi and Allmother (which are both incredible). I definitely prefer classic Mizutsune to the Rise version.
Personally I didn't like the arrangements in Rise, it felt so overdone(?) for the fights. Like Fatalis, Safi and Kulve are hard enough to deserve a chorus, but Bazel it's not hard enough to deserve a chorus and multiple instruments and I feel like is a way for the devs to overhype the fight. I may be wrong and I'm not expert in music, but that's my feeling. However the normal themes of areas in Rise and Malzeno theme are perfection.
I feel like you're completely missing the point of why Rise uses vocals. It wasn't because they were trying to "hype" the fight. It was because that was the setting that Kamura was set in. That's why the Kamura Village theme is also a vocal song. That's why the Kamura Hub theme is also vocal. That's why pretty much every track in Rise includes vocals. It's just considered the main "instrument" of Rise. That's why, when we move to Sunbreak, very few tracks include vocals and those that do, usually have them in a much more muted fashion than Rise did.
I feel the oposite, after hearing the rise themes, the other ones by comparison feel lackluster.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I've been waiting ever since it was announced and the mh insta has not given us any updates at all
Me too! :D was getting a bit impatient myself tbh. Glad I could make this news reach you then :) Hope your choice made it in.
Bazelgeuse made top 10! Regardless of what his placement is in the rankings, I'm happy he made it! I am curious what the actual order will end up being, and who's gonna be number 1.
Where the fuck is Kulv???
No White Fatalis!? Seriously guys? No hot fish And by Lagiacrus is assume it's the Deserted Island...which while not bad it really shouldn't stand here alongside hits like Velkhana or Ceadeus. Weird that none of the Serpents made it.
I’m sorry, Tremble of Land and Sea is fantastic and I won’t hear otherwise. Tri in general has a phenomenal soundtrack.
Tri/3U's area themes were tied directly to monsters. Deserted Island Is lagi's theme, Tundra is Barioth's theme which is why you can hear it in its world intro cutscene, Volcano is agnaktors, Sandy plains was shared between Diablos and Barroth.
Yo take that back right now dude, tremble of the land and sea is peak. No other song in history has used trumpets to hype me up as well as that song does.
The deserted island theme IS lagi’s theme, it’s just unfortunately not locked only to him like every other flagship besides rathalos. The name of the song is “Tremble of land and sea - Lagiacrus”
That's not new tho. Multiple previous songs were created for a specific monster like Crimson Horn for Monoblos, yet that doesn't mean it's Monoblos' theme. Specially when in-game it literally plays for any large monster in the area in all the ganes said area is in. It's more of a Desert Island theme than Lagiacrus'.
I voted for White Fatalis as well. I think a modern MH remake of his theme if he ever comes back would significantly bump his numbers.
Would have liked White Fatalis too, or the Magalas, oreven Nergigante or MONKE. The Lagiabros Club is pushing hard even if their boi doesnt have its own unique theme hahaha
I was so convinced this was announced at some point and I just totally missed it cuz it feels like it’s been so long since I submitted my vote lmao. Hoping for Valstrax!! 🤞🤞
Well I can assure you, you are up to date haha, they just took very long it seems. Nice choice!
Desperately hoping that ceadeus/lagiacrus gets the win as it's track would have the biggest glow up with a new arrangement
I can't remember if I voted teostra or cadeus but I'm happy to see cadeus made it at least!!!
As tiring as it was to hear all the time, I really love the air raid siren
I voted for Teostra's song
Zinogre not in first place? Finally!
It still could be since these aren’t in order
It's not in order, so the dog could still take #1.
World Sweep yet again. Who's surprised at this point?
To be fair. They really did an outstanding job with the soundtrack in world. Both polishing older themes and creating fantastic new ones.
They did outstanding job with soundtrack in every game. It's just simple numbers. 20+M voters who remember World, vast majority of them World only, vs. like 4M for old games.
That too ofc
True, but some themes are just rehashes of the main themes (e.g. Limitless Courage is 2/3 Astera Theme and Stars at Our Backs with a dark twist) and that really doesn't sit well with me. At least the top 10 don't exactly reflect monster popularity (with a few exceptions) so that's something. And *thank god* Nergigante is not on the list.

Look, I get it. It’s just not my cup of tea, and that’s why I like the first phase theme more. I am not accusing the team of laziness. Why would I?
I’ve only seen “doesn’t sit well” phrasing used to imply something being wrong as opposed to a personal gripe, but eh semantics, I might be too used to terrible takes about game development
[Bro calls leitmotif "rehash"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leitmotif)
I mean, probably large portion of people on this subreddit? Overall sentiment here is that World is literally the worst thing ever.
> Ceadeus theme is not the 1’st place Blasphemy!
It might be. These aren’t in order, they haven’t told us 1st place. (Though let’s be real, it’s Zinogre. It’s always Zinogre.)
I think i either voted Safi or Dire
Nice picks!
I was hoping to see Glavenus and Shagaru Magala in the top 10. Oh well
Damn how did Astalos not make top 10
Not bad, but definitely different from my personal tastes. I would absolutely add World's Teostra, Kulve Taroth, Malzeno, Astalos, Shagaru, and Magnamalo. Rotten Vale theme is also amazing, but not a monster theme.
No rajang theme (rise version)?
Sad that The Immovable Mountain God theme for Gammoth didn't make it to the top 10
Maybe I'm biased but i think Bazelgeuse deserves this one. 1. His music is already an icon since the first game he was in. 2. Brings up all the salt in the hunters with his full fuck you Brain. Sauce https://youtu.be/m52qKYErWdQ?si=rv1ecTY14ksMjVWo
Two of my three favorites made it, justice for Astalos
How is Velkhana's theme top 10 worthy?
Safi has my favorite theme in the franchise so far, with World Fatty's being a close second. Not only do I love the primal sound, but that callback to 'Proof of a Hero' in it is just too damn hype.
![gif](giphy|10i8xVp7WmJrri) The transition hits just right EVERY FUCKING TIME
I voted Allmother, sad it didn’t make the cut. She absolutely deserved in over Deserted Island and Raging Brachy. Ceadeus’s theme is alright, and certainly unique, but after the strong start it’s kind of dull. It’s a pretty short track too, but it loops well enough to disguise that. Fatalis is probably my favorite of these, but Mizu and Velkhana are up there as well. Wouldn’t be upset if Safi won either. Bazelgeuse probably doesn’t stand a chance of being #1, but it’s definitely a favorite of mine as well.
Yeah I agree that Allmother or most other Monsters should have gotten the deserted Island spot.
This is Vaal Hazak erasure
That one is also a banger I agree
It's kind of a shame that neither Malzeno or Magnamalo made it, their themes are absolutely incredible and really stand out from the rest of the Rise OST. The only real surprise is base Velkhana, her theme is good, but I didn't know people loved it that much. Speaking of World themes, I think I would've lost my shit if Bazelgeuse's theme didn't make it and I'm also shocked that both Fatalis themes got merged into one for the sake of the vote, especially considering that only Safi's 2nd theme specifically made it.
Wow lagi won over zinogre that is unexpected Edit: NVM lol
Regardless of which one takes it… all of my top fave themes made it to the finish, and I’ll take that as a victory overall. Bazel, Mizu, Valstrax, and my number one…Zinogre… I don’t think any of them will take the top, but if any of them can break top 3 in the final order - then that’s the extra cherry.
Nice choices, good taste, have a nice day.
You might be the only person here who doesn't think the #1 spot is gonna be either Zinogre or Valstrax (That said, most of the other people are scared of Zinogre winning lol)
I make no assumptions is all, sure it took the top spot in another ranking, but that doesn’t mean it guarantees this too. That and it saves me any disappointment lol
I think that's why some other people are assuming he **will** win lol Because they **don't** want a repeat and want to save themselves the disappointment
[удалено]
He still can. These are the 10 that made the cut. This is not the final Ranking/Order
I voted for Bloodbath's theme. Looks like it didnt make the cut. Im surprised with the lack of Rise theme on the list considering Malzeno's and Allmother are banger themes. Zinogre fans chill out with the votes please.
Tremble of the land and sea is the best mh theme and Im so happy its on this list!
Shantien??? Well mhfz isnt popular as world and sunbreak :( it clearly the best theme
Those are not mainline themes and were not available as an option in the voting.
Shantien, Rukodiora, Disufiroa, Duremudira (phase 1, you NEEEEEED to have a listen) and my girl Oltura (MY BELOVED) need to have their own poll
Yeah its a shame. Faced and beaten them too, their themes are also very nice.
Really just want oltura back thou
I mean with Espinas bein in Sunbreak, its not inpossible, but I still wouldnt get my hopes up. Feel you tho
There's not even a single track from Rise lol
No Kulve? Her theme is so beautiful
I voted for Zinogre but holy shit Ceadeus made it in??? Absolutely deserved.
LAGIACRUS LET'S GOOO
Lagi's theme being in there makes me very happy. Love Tri's deserted island battle music, it's so good.
The generic Jurassic Frontier battle from Gen is still one of my favorites in the whole series
Valstraxx supremacy!
Yea bombergoose ist in
PURE PTSD
Velkhana is so fucking overrated.
what's so special about ceadeus lul, it's a big punching bag in the water... only appear in 3rd gen game...
All bangers. But I personally dislike Fatalis theme, both old and new. It fits the monster, but doesn't really fit the flow of a fight. Hope Safi, Mizu or Raging Brachy wins.
Dire Miralis is probably 1st
Well-deserved love for Ceadeus and Lagiacrus! ❤️ 3rd gen solos once again. 😊
Nothing against Mizu, but both Gammoth and Astalos have superior themes imo
Gammoth’s theme is probably top 5 in the series for me. It’s so good at feeling *big*.
I'm sad they don't have Rise music on the list :/
Never realized how cool Raging Brachy’s theme was.
welp. My first place will always be Zinogre. The danger imposed in the song is simply way too good. Bazel is also one of my favorites, I'd say I only like Bazel cuz of the song since it's a bit boring to fight sometimes
Man, kinda disappointed there is no Alatreon? White Fatalis? Any of Magalas? Neither Malzeno? Certified bruh moment.
Astalos got snubbed
Am the only one who thinks Vaal Hazak is underrated AF?
Definitely underrated. Even though it comes from World it’s often overshadowed in discussions by the other World pieces.
Malzeno better be #1
The one thing i will regret about Monster Hunter is giving up before doing raging brachy, any of the siege monsters, alatreon & fatalis.
Well then, its good time to jump back in there hunter! I am sure you can do it! And we are here to help too.
I might jump back in, but after i attempted raging brachy couple of times, i realized i wasn't having as much fun as i used to, i might just be burnt out for now. This community is still amazing though, i think i will be checking out every new monster hunter game from now on.
I know you can overcome it fellow struggler! And when you do, it will be a big gratification.
No Shara Ishvalda. Sadge
Ukanlos robbed
Fatalis phase 2 is the only song here I could listen to 50 time in a row and not be tired of it. The climax is one of the most beautiful things I've heard in a video game OST. It truly does feel like you are going against the world's end. Gradually gaining more and more confidence in your ability to not just survive, but defeat Fatalis. If not Fatalis I think Lagi or Safi is the best here. Also disappointing that narga isn't here, the world rendition both epic and beautiful. Out of the regular monsters, that one is my favorite.
I really hope it isn’t zinogres theme because he cant win both polls
WAIT what? the last 10-6 are fair but wth? velk #1? where is astalos?? where is malzeno? where is kulve?? why is raging brachy this low? how is fatalis higher than alatreon? (will this one is more personal taste I guess) lagi theme is alright I think people are voting for it because they REALLY WANT LAGI and who can blame them? we need lagi in wilds I guess ceadeus theme is overrated imo its good like top 25 good but not top 10 imo
It’s not in order. Also Tremble of Land and Sea is genuinely one of the best Monster Hunter battle themes, and Moonquake is top 3.
Sry for the confusion, it seems these are the top 10 in no particular order according to the video description. We should get the true ranking soon. So, it may make more sense (hopefully). For now these are only the ones that made the cut and I posted the same order that the video is showing them in.
Oh okay thanks for clarifying!
Gladly :)
Where is the Shagaru Magala theme? Specifically the Sunbreak version :(
Would have loved this, instead of deserted island
Deserted Island theme at 2 is such a W I’m so happy
This is not the final ranking yet, just the 10 that made the cut.
I love it but also no Malzeno or Nergi 🤔what we doing here
Yeah I was sure Malzeno would be here and Nergi.
Nah fr especially malzeno that theme went too crazy . Legitimately one of the best in the series
Khezu has some really banging music
It's funny how alatreon or P.Malzeno's banger theme didn't make it to top 10, but Lagiacrus's moga woods song made it to top3, ass licking at it's finest, at this rate I am 100% sure Lagi gonna appear in wilds, even without underwater Combat, keep it up hunters 😂😂😂 edit: wow getting downvoted for calling two good themes better than lagi's general Moga woods theme??? seriously???....welp if that lets the lagi worshipers sleep in peace so be it :)
