I went for a bit too dry of a sound for my tastes in my submission to Grunt's OST Album Jam 2026 before this one, so I went a tad too overboard with the reverb on these which made the sound a bit too ambient, though I seem to have a preference for this sort of more overtly washed out sound like Jeremy Soule's stuff in Skyrim had 😄

I used the Hollywood Orchestra Gold for most of the orchestra and that only has the Decca tree mic so cant really get any additional bite from the close mics, I have parallel compression+saturation channels for the different instruments with some pretty hard compression on them to use in place of the close mics to give more presence/punch and could've probably had those a bit louder to compensate  for the reverb amount.

Been thinking about playing through some Kings Field games since I've played most of the other fromsoftware soul's game's, probably should actually get around the playing one 😁

Glad you liked them!

I think the reverb works fine. It's more the direct bite that feels a bit missing. But like you've said the librarie does not provide it.

As for FromSoft games. If you're more a fan of old school RPGs without the action of modern FromSoft games like SoulsBorne games, but still having that cryptic world building, then I'd highly recomment looking into Kings Field 4 (needs an Emulator). Or even Shadow Tower Abyss if you're ok with a more modern setting with guns.

But if you're just interested in the vibes you could look into games that are heavyly inpired by those old gems like Queens Domain (there is a free demo on steam) or Verho, or in a way even Lunacid.
