If I recall, the FRLG soundtrack used a lot more than just trumpets, so I don't think that's it.

It could be that since Ruby and Sapphire were their first on the GBA, they didn't really know how far they could take the technology. Like with D/P being much slower than HG/SS, for instance. And then made more variety with the instruments.

There's no way of really knowing though. It could be a stylistic choice, but I'd rather it not return regardless unless it's easier to take seriously.

Honestly, I don't mind them being gone. They sounded ridiculous to me and made it really difficult to take epic battle themes seriously. R/S/E was one of my favorite games music-wise, but it just would be much better if there were more fitting instruments for each composition rather than just having the same midi trumpets over and over again. Perhaps a silly-sounding theme can have trumpets, but I find trumpets to just be a comedy instrument not suited for epicness unless used just right.
The trumpets/Drums/Soft Flute and French horns were the key to the rhythm and tempo of the tunes themselves though; without them it has no pace, no high points, nothing hummable or repetitive enough to recognize. They were needed. Imagine taking out the guitar in X/Y's themes, it would just be a weak orchestra sound with no direction.

The trumpets made the music sound epic to me. I feel that without them there'll be a void in these remakes...

Remember people, Trumpets and French Horns. They both work together to make them music sound epic. I'm hoping that it'll be a combination of R/S/E and X/Y: Trumpets and French Horns as the main leads (R/S/E) and orchestrated (X/Y). At least I think X/Y is orchestrated, that's what some of the music sounds like.

Also, my 1000th post yay

I was thinking... Perhaps ORAS music could sound similar to this:

Yeah, the few Hoenn tracks that were in Black2/White2 weren't so great. Except for this one:

That one is pretty good.

Yeah, the Champion song was my favorite out of the B2W2 Hoenn based songs.


I hope that they'll add a few new tracks too, maybe for new areas.

I kinda hope they limit the use of synths and techno beats except in some areas like New Mauville and give off some natural beats this time since that was Hoenn is all about.

Have you guys ever wondered if GF would use like an updated RSE feel soundtrack or adopt X and Y's soundfonts and be completely different yet Hoenn-styled? I hope they would stay and just update the sounds imo.

I'm not entirely sure if I got what you mean but I'm pretty sure the tracks are going to be remixes of the old ones, they're going to sound different but they're hopefully going to keep the same style and feeling of the original(they're definitely going to be closer than B2/W2 version).

Anyway I hope they orchestrate the old tracks, RSE ost would sound great that way and will fit hoenn perfectly.
