The .hack//G.U. Soundtrack
Posted: Fri Sep 18, 2009 11:02 pm
First of all, G.U. has one of the most BEAUTIFUL soundtracks I've ever heard. Almost every track, especially the gentle, vocal ones in the lost grounds - they just hit an emotional spot in me. I listen to that music while I'm drawing, and it helps inspire me a lot. I really FEEL it. I think music is a really important aspect of a game, and that's one thing .hack has always been top-notch in. 
Anyway, I was wondering - does anyone know what that instrument is that is in most of the songs? It's some kind of ethnic string instrument, possibly a hammer-dulcimer, but I can't be sure. It's usually used in little bursts in the BGM, high pitched and sporatic. It's very pretty, and also has become very iconic of the G.U. trilogy for me. If I heard that sound anywhere I else, I'd surely think of G.U. right off the bat. XD
