Hello!

I’m Nexon Picker Peacetime.

MapleStory has been famous for its incredible BGM since way back.

It is one of those games where, even if you have never played it yourself, you have probably heard the music at least once,

and in that sense, it really is a game that treats your ears to something special.

If I were to put together a game orchestra built around MapleStory’s music,

these are the tracks I would personally want to gather for it.

Actual Performance

Symphony of MapleStory

MapleStory has actually held several live performances over the years.

There is even a full video of Symphony of MapleStory.

Hearing Maple BGM in such a grand arrangement is a real pleasure.

An orchestra this polished would be hard to recreate, of course,

but I still tried picking the music entirely to my own taste.

Nostalgic BGM

My Own Game Orchestra

If I were building a Maple orchestra purely around my own taste,

I think I would start with the older BGM first.

(Old) Main Screen BGM still makes my heart race even now.

I would want to place Lith Harbor BGM near the beginning too.

Next, I would bring in Kerning City’s BGM

to refresh the atmosphere with that mischievous streak.

After that, with Nautilus BGM,

I would carry that Kerning City feeling forward,

and then suddenly steady the mood with Magatia BGM,

with Temple of Time BGM serving as the highlight.

Then, once Cernium BGM begins,

you instantly get that feeling of having arrived somewhere entirely new.

Then comes Odium BGM,

and I really like how an Eastern flavor starts to blend in from this point onward.

And then there is Kaling’s BGM, The Four Seasons Reclaimed the Light,

which is, personally, my favorite track in all of Grandis.

That is how I ended up putting together my own game orchestra.

What other pieces do you think would be good additions?
