I sometimes look at that site for sales listings and laugh at the posters while I'm there but

who cares dude

the only "relevance" gaf/era ever had was devs posting there bc the creep admin put in an email gate and a lot of those got driven out for crimes like "localizing senkags"

i remember when sakurai posted a pic of the day and they immediatly accused sakurai of being a racist because they thought he was deliberately referencing the birmingham campaign, rather than unfortunate ignorance

On the subject of Dragon Quest, is the Legend of Dai manga/currently running anime any good?

I can't wait for Resetera to try and take down every single Japanese composer/game director who pays condolences to Sugiyama (for the record I think Sugiyama is a vile piece of poo poo and I don't mourn him at all, but I can't deny that his music is legendary and influenced many Japanese composers)

ok lol, lifehack: you don't need to make up people to get mad at

Yes. I haven't seen the new anime but the manga is a classic battle shonen that's far more influential on the genre than a lot of people talk about. I've only heard really good things about the new anime, the old anime has really limited animation and whack pacing since it was made in the 80s, and ends at the halfway point.

I heard it was pretty good, but that's a second-hand opinion from me.

Also even putting aside Sugiyama being human garbage, he's been phoning it in for a decade at least and I don't think Dragon Quest is a series known for its music outside the main theme

willo if a forum sucks and makes you mad you dont have to think about it everytime anything happens that they might discuss

also that giant rant seems stupid and 'anti-blackness' is kinda pushing it but idk it is kinda worth noting that smash doesnt have a single black person in it. its more a reflection of the game industry than smash itself but its a reasonable thing to point out. its hardly the most ridiculous post ive seen on resetera even if they made the longest post on the internet about it.

So in terms of the anime I assume it’s not worth checking out the first attempt and instead just diving straight into the new one then?

Also is it an original story or is it based on one of the games (and if the former do any familiar faces show up regardless)?

Yeah, I'd watch the original. It's a completely original story. It features a lot of the monsters from the game though!

The first 5 games have all timer soundtracks imo. 6-8 have some really good tracks as well. After that he totally phoned it in and hit random keys on a casio to make battle music

Also he abused his copyright over the music in a way that actively harmed the games, as the main reason a lot of them had midi soundtracks was so he could make extra bank on orchestral performances and albums.

and the reason he wanted to make more bank on orchestra and albums is so he could funnel the money into rightwing politics

the old dai anime still has some sick bits they stand out partially because the new one is a bit goofy with its computer effects in those same parts

but overall i find the new one charming even when it stumbles like that, and it otherwise has nailed every emotional beat you'd want out of a classic shonen like that. and i'm still like 30 episodes behind lol

oh, for some reason i thought he was black.

also they're right there's a lack of black characters, but the villager and inkinling at least give you a black skin to play as for the male and female variants. ganon is also very darked skin, though i wouldn't call him black.

i still want to see rodin playable though.
