I don't know what he meant by that second sentence but the same cavalcade of a half dozen posters with moevatars falling over themselves to declare how they simply will not suffer an unwashed gaijin game to sully their eyes is every bit as tiresome and unproductive as the people who declare every Japanese thing they dislike to be "anime" and accuse people who play JRPGs of being child molestors or w/e.

i mean. western games make up a couple of my favorite games every year. i play the hell out of old id fps games every year. hell, i've always had an interest in making indie stuff. i've literally never said anything like that, just that i find the aaa space specifically kind of empty

Hey, has a webcomic ever made the observation that when you’re on a JRPG world map, and you go past the northern pole, you suddenly teleport to the southern pole? What’s that all about??!

Did I miss Sakuraba chat? The weird thing about that guy is his uncanny superpower of making music that is great to play video games to but not necessarily to actually listen to.

Save a few exceptions of course

His Dream Theater-inspired prog rock jams (like the Golden Sun medley from Brawl) are pretty cool.

I wouldn't be surprised if RPG World addressed this. I didn't read it all though so can't confirm.

imo the xillia soundtracks are kind of mediocre to play a video game to mostly because a lot of it barely even registers as music

also here are two unrelated video game songs that also incorporate random rap samples. basically if your video game song incorporates sound samples of a guy rapping at like 1:40 you have created one of the best video game musics of all time

That's pretty cool.

This insignificant opening track to DragonForce's debut album can be heard in one of the recent (live-action) Resident Evil movies for some reason

Also I swear I once heard this on one of those "Sponsor a third-world child" ads years ago. I only ever saw it once and never again.
