Audio Direction

Area	Direction
Music	Orchestral plus J-rock and folk instruments (shamisen, shakuhachi, taiko), with a hint of synth for Rifts
Adaptive music	Explore, combat and boss layers crossfade with MetaSounds / Quartz. Boss phase changes trigger stingers
Main theme	"Riftbloom": a lantern-melody motif that every regional theme reuses
SFX	Punchy hits with bright crystal "tings" for Break and glass shatters for Finishers
Voice	Combat barks for the player, companions and Echoes. Key cutscenes voiced. Japanese and English voice tracks (stretch)

Lanterns on the Water (Hearthport) · Tidepool Overture · Thousand Torii · Pages Beneath · Cinder March · Mirror Waltz · The Frozen Choir · Requiem for a Broken Moon · Old Roots (Gorrow) · battle and boss variants per region.
