Are we linking FF music covers now? Because I think I will. 8-bit Force Your Way is pretty darn cool. And to stay on topic they also covered this game's Battle theme. Again, watch for spoilers in name titles, though the first one or two in the FFIX tags are safe.

FinalGamer posted:If anyone here loves OCRemix or rearrangements in general, they just released a four-disc album commemorating Final Fantasy IX entitled "Worlds Apart" that I'm definitely downloading now because holy poo poo yes. I was really pleasantly surprised by the Dali vocal cover though. Same with 1-04 Swords of Fury, Behind the Door, one of the few songs where the bombastic metal really works.

I checked out the OC album but wasn't too impressed with what I've heard yet. KateTheGreat has a couple songs that I like on the album, but she has an excellent vocal version of Rose of May on the regular site. Speaking of, the album has technically sound version of Rose of May, but it takes a very emotional and contemplative song and takes all the heart out of it completely. That was my highlight disappointment. I'm gonna check again to see if there are some other OC artists I can recognize to see if I can salvage the download.

So this LP got cooking while I was in the middle of moving, and since my free time after that was mostly FJF, I've only just now caught up with the LP. I loved TWD's LP of it in the Archive and this one is just as good. Thanks, Mega! I really love this game. It's a shame their next love letter to the series had to be an MMO that I have no time for.

I would like to make a little note on Chocobo Hot and Cold (since I'm on disk 3 and a LOT of chocographs are available at this point) DON'T try to do it all at once. It'll probably take hours to do, even all at once. You WILL burn out and you might not complete the game if that happens, do a few story events between delving into the game-wide CH&C your mind will thank you for it. Oh, and rule of thumb? If you find an item and have about 5-6 seconds left on the clock? Dig like crazy and you'll get it most likely. You can get an item/10 second bonus/8 item cutoff on 0 seconds since the hidden milliseconds count.

Last week I went to see London Symphony Orchestra play Final Fantasy music with a guest appearance by Nobuo God drat Uematsu and it was pretty great. I bring it up because there was a pre show Q&A and while I didn't get picked to ask one (it would've been some boring poo poo about variable mixes or something, or maybe how he went about writing English lyrics or whatever, I'unno), one of the guys who did decided to use his moment on the mic with Nobuo God drat Uematsu to ask if he had ever heard of OCRemix. Nobuo God drat Uematsu responded "Not really, no". The guy then begged him to check it out. Bet you anything he was a contributor.

Uematsu was adorable at the talk, I'll say that much. I love that this is a guy whose work has spawned an international fanbase (the guy hosting said it was pretty much the biggest turn-out for a pre-concert talk he had seen) and he's pretty much taking it all in stride with a sense of amusement like 'Oh a fanmade thing of mine? I didn't even hear about it, good job guys'. Also the remixes done during the actual concert was amazing (their use of Vivi's theme during the IX portion was phenomenal).

If you can listen to the bells without having unpleasant feelings, you're either way better at rhythm games than I am, or you just never played that part.

The latter. I never said Drakengard was good to actually play. The gameplay seems like enough of a chore, and the game seemed interesting enough, to basically single-handedly justify Let's Plays, so I read The Dark Id's. But you're right, soundtracks are all about context. I imagine associating Drakengard's OST with Drakengard might make it worse, not better.

I rather like Drakengard's soundtrack, after getting into classical music a bit more. It's a bit of fun to pick out the different songs that were remixed into the soundtrack.ultrafilter posted:If you can listen to the bells without having unpleasant feelings, you're either way better at rhythm games than I am, or you just never played that part.

The true drakengard experience would be to for everyone to stand up while the final song is playing while Dark Lord Taro comes up and kicks everyone in attendance in the crotch.

 Going back to re-read old updates, I love how not even the developers or people in-universe know how the card game work. It's like playing Yu-Gi-Oh with Duelist Kingdom rules or something.

Pesky Splinter posted:(LP Chapter 12 - Steiner talking with Morrid the coffee guy) Oh Steiner, you goof. TravelLog posted:The cut dialogue with Morrid is particularly interesting because of his Ultimania background (as I covered in the bios). He doesn't want to talk about the past to Morrid because 1) he doesn't want to remember the events that led to him being orphaned, and 2) he doesn't want to view the events that led to his tragedy as being anything other than an attack by evil forces upon whom he can lay his anger and grief. Reminds me of Wakka. Shame we don't have Steiner interact with Freya much to glean that information, though. Blueberry Pancakes fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Sep 21, 2015 |

It's "okay" to hate countries, but the people in that country's borders are still people, basically. It might be a vague bit hypocritical, but you're right that Steiner is never really bigoted about it, just blindly loyal to what is being blatantly hinted to be a not-so-great ruler.

That's what makes him a great character though. He wasn't below Dali when they discussed the barrels and saw the mages. And really, at this point that's the only clue anyone (besides Dagger) has that Brahne might be up to no good. He's by no means dumb, he just doesn't have all the facts
