Techno is a bit odd choice for fantasy, but the soundtrack in Forge absolutely slaps. I really like both the musics itself, and how it dynamically changes based on a fight stage. And that triumphant piece after we finally defeated the last boss felt great.
Really hope that the older dungeons will one day get something similar, it adds a lot to the experience!
I gave some feedback to ashigaru

This was my commentary.
"My commentary was…well not descriptive enough.
Let me say this.
• I am not into metal these days (although I do like synthwave a bit)
• I have never cared for “fire zones” (the upcoming one on valheim made me cringe)
• I had no expectations for Empyrean Forge, and really no interest (housing is my love)
However.
I absolutely LOVE the music. It’s different, but pairs so well. Kinda like red wine (shiraz) and ham & swiss on rye with frenches yellow mustard (it just works)
The instance itself…wow, its so cool for a lack of better terms. I love all the gears (I am a steampunk/clockwork/industrial fan) and the pistons. It’s all done extremely well.
The encounters were fun. We wiped on the last boss, I have not completed him yet. Gonna try that in a bit. But its a fun fight.
Overall, Empyrean Forge is just amazing. It takes me back to the first time I ran Black Rock Depths in wow almost 20 years ago. I had that same, childish fun feeling.
So, yes please tell them job EXTREMELY well done. It definitely makes me want to spend more time in dungeons/raids."
The way the music paired with the content is what really worked for me. Not so much metal itself (not that I am a prude against metal, I do enjoy some…the recent Megadeth album is pleasant to listen to).
The pairing of the bosses, the instance design/colors/shapes/lava/puzzles and the music is…well it feels like that is how it was meant to be, which is the essence of good design. A design that does not feel like it was designed, its just natural.
TTK in pvp however…I’ll hold my tongue.
Agreed dallar. We wiped like 5 times on the last boss (and sadly did not finish), but I was cool just sitting there listening to the music.
Good stuff for sure!
Very cool Expedition all around, music is a banger. Most enjoyable expedition for me, though last boss seems pretty hard at first.
