Fairy Sword 41*** has 73 pieces of background music. In addition to most of the original music, it also partially quotes the music from the previous work Fairy Sword 3, Fairy Sword 3 Side Story and even the TV series Legend of Sword and Fairy. There is also a live version of the classic music "Butterfly Love" from Legend of Sword and Fairy. Many netizens have criticized the citation of the music from the previous work, but I want to make it clear that the Legend of Sword and Fairy series' citation of the music from the previous work is not a phenomenon unique to Sword and Fairy 4. There are a lot of references to the music from the previous work in Sword and Sword 2. To quote, most of the music of Sword and Sword III is new and original, but there are still references to the music of Sword and Sword II (the music "Love" when Jingtian found Xuejian outside the door in Binhua is the original music of Sword and Sword II), and the love chapter As a side story of Sword and Sword III, there are naturally many references to the music of Sword and Sword III, so it is not surprising that a lot of music from the previous work appears in Sword and Sword IV.

In addition, music does not necessarily have to be original to be good. Aren’t many classic old songs still being covered by new singers over and over again? There is nothing wrong with quoting music from previous films, or even music from TV series, as long as it's just right, and sometimes it works better than a mediocre new original music. There is another point. Game music serves the plot, scene and atmosphere. It may not be very pleasant when taken out alone, but when placed in the game, it can make you feel immersed in the scene. I think this is successful, of course. If on this basis, it sounds pleasant to listen to alone, and you can feel the atmosphere even if you haven't played the game, then it can be considered perfect.

Now let’s talk about my overall impression of the music of Sword and Fairy IV. As a classic series of games, music plays an indispensable role in it, starting from the earliest DOS version of Sword and Fairy 4. From the beginning, the music of the Fairy Sword series formed its own unique style of sadness and elegance. This music style has been passed down to the current Four of Swordsman. The music of Sword and Sword IV this time has a more unique style than the previous one. Generally speaking, it can be summed up in two words: refined. I don't mean to say that the music in the previous game was vulgar, but I want to say that compared with the previous game, the music this time is a little less market-oriented and a little more refreshing. Of course, this is inseparable from the plot and character design. The main theme of this time is a story about searching for immortals. The music naturally has a bit more of the otherworldly atmosphere of the immortal family. In addition, the protagonist of this story, Yun Tianhe, is himself a fairy. The boy who was born in the mountains is very different from the previous work, and the market atmosphere in the music is definitely much lighter than the previous work.

This is not only true for character music, but also for town music. I will further explain this later in the appreciation of the 29 original soundtracks. As for the maze music, I think the maze has been weakened in Sword and Sword IV, and the maze music has also weakened a bit. There are not many maze music that are very outstanding (I think the best maze music is the chapter about asking for love, and of course the maze about asking for love is also very good. powerful). The battle music is basically the same as the previous game. Return to Dream World. Theme song

This is the earliest music released for Sword and Sword Four, and it is also the musical soul of Sword and Sword Four this time. I would say that as a theme song, "Return to Dreams" is undoubtedly very successful. First of all, the use of the main melody instrument. A major feature of this Fairy Sword and Four music is the use of the erhu timbre. The erhu's own timbre characteristics determine the expressiveness of this theme song - melodious, graceful, and tearful. On the basis of blending the chivalrous tenderness of the fairy sword theme music of the past dynasties, it adds the element of confiding, which is more touching. The melody itself is very sad and graceful. The whole theme song feels like it is telling a sad story. story. As early as the promotion period of Sword and Sword IV, I extracted this song from the first version of the promotional animation and played it in the dormitory all day long. The same roommate who had never played Sword and Sword and didn't listen to music much was impressed by this song. The evaluation of music is - sad. This fully illustrates the expressive power of this music. Here we will also make a horizontal comparison based on the theme songs of the Fairy Sword of the past dynasties.

Fairy Sword One does not have a clear theme song. Many people mistakenly think that "Die Lian" is the theme song of Xian Jian Yi. In fact, it is not the case. "Die Lian" is just the theme song for Caiyi when she transforms into a butterfly. Music, but this melody moved all the Fairy Sword fans at the time, and it basically became a model for Fairy Sword music. It has also become the most typical representative of Xianjian music style. I have no intention of comparing "Return to Dreams" with it, because it is a meaningless thing. The theme song of Fairy Sword II is called "Water Dragon Song". I personally have no love for Xian Er, but this theme song still preserves the style of Fairy Sword perfectly, but it is not very outstanding in its own characteristics. The theme song of Sword and Sword III, "Swordsman Jiang Hu", is the most majestic and magnificent among the Sword and Sword theme songs in the past, and it also fits the theme of thousand-year reincarnation very well. Compared with the theme song of "Asking for Love", it is much more tender, and it interprets the theme of "Asking for Love" very well. There is also a sung version of "Asking for Love" which won many hearts when it was released. (many people in our department who have never played Fairy Sword have this song in their MP3s, of course it was me who initiated it~~). Compared with these, "Back to Dreams" has more of a lively and elegant spirit. Personally, I feel that the theme song of the fourth generation is more "fairy" than the previous one. This is why I like this theme song very much. Reason.
