I don't post, but figured others may find this interesting.

I think it's a bit hit and miss. While most part it's just "meh", there are some parts that are actually better.

• A good example would be Wretched Weaponry on the Junk Heap front; amazingly fitting with Gideon's descend to madness (I'd keep the default soundtrack on the rest of Junk Heap tho...).
• I also love the use of Dependent Weaklings as Shadowlord's soundtrack.

With that said, I have more examples of what irks me.

• Most notably, The Weight of The World should stay in Nier Automata; Ashes of Dreams carries more nuance for Nier Replicant.
• I hate that they changed the waltz music to Amusement Park because it sounds nothing like waltz!
• Town soundtracks:
  • Pascal for Facade, nope!
  • Fortress of Lies for Forest of Myth, nope!
  • Copied City for Airie, nope!
  • Voice of No Return for Seafront: hell no!
• Field soundtracks:
  • Alien Manifestation for Barren Temple, nope!
  • City Ruin for plains: okay
  • Memories of Sand for Desert: completely expected
  • Amusement Park
