the thing about yiik that kills me is that it was very obviously a different game for half of its development (and you can tell from looking at really early trailers/dev vids) but because the brothers had a family member die halfway through it like. completely wrecked their poo poo and changed the trajectory, and i'd bet real cash the original game was not nearly as cynical as the final product ended up being

there was also some poo poo with people managing to datamine/dig up the original ending for the game from like an early beta build or w/e and it completely recontextualized like half the poo poo (including having the protagonist actually experience the 'oh my god im actually a garbage person this is what im actually like???' realization that, uh, he never gets, in the actual game itself)

it wasn't just any family member, they, were developing the game basically in the same room with their mom as she was dying of cancer and it all came kind of suddenly. given the environment i can understand why it would have an effect on them but i don't think it exactly put them in a video game making headspace and they probably, would have been better off taking a long break. instead of awkwardly changing the entire ending to something more nonsensical and off putting, putting out a game with a ton of major issues and responding to the backlash by going on dick masterson's podcast and putting dick masterson in as an npc.

yeah please explain the part where they got obsessed with a dead Asian girl who's last moments seen alive were on an elevator camera and how they needed to put the entire thing into their game with her as a major character, suggest she was 'taken' and create an ending where you save her life and live happily ever after with her (might not 100% what happens but holy loving christ was it in poor taste)

Was there like some big hype behind Yiik's release that I totally missed or something.

Like, seems there's an interesting story behind its problems but there's way more people than i'd expect that are interested in the story of a bad indie rpg flop. I'm surprised it has a big enough presence for so many people to be aware of it and to have a bunch of thinkpieces and discussion about all its flaws.

Don't think that there was ever any like pre-release style hype for it.

It got popular because it was very interestingly bad game made by a narcisist and it Definitely helped that it came out around the height of the time where ppl were making fun of soy type nerds/media.

yeah i wasnt talking about that at all lol. that poo poo's hosed and there's no explaining or defending it, and if it'd been in the game even without that pivot there still would be no defending it (or, you know, updating her character in the update that added elemental mechanics and giving her the water element. like. christ dude what the gently caress :stonk:)

also the fact they got guest musicians like toby fox or bo en to do tracks and all the guest musicians quietly refused to acknowledge it post-launch is still very funny to me lol

I remember there being a bit of pre-release excitement for it in some of the circles I was in, since it was a pretty unique and ambitious-looking RPG with a pretty big scope for an indie team being published by the same publisher that published va-11 hall-a, and the team's last game was also interesting and kind of ambitious if a bit glitchy and hosed up

and it was helped along by there being basically no other 3D turn-based RPGs not being made by idea factory at the time

All Megumi Hayashibara
Megumi Hayashibara and Masami Okui did basically every song in Slayers that wasn't an image song. Okui sang backup on Get Along, for instance.

Larryb posted:

Megumi's done all the Slayers OPs if I recall correctly, yes (and possibly the EDs as well)
S1 ED ("Kujikenaikara ") is a Hayashibara/Okui duet, and S2 ED ("Jama wa Sasenai") was all Okui, but S3 ED ("Don't be Discouraged") was Hayashibara, as are S4 and S5's OPs/EDs. Okui is with JAM Project now and didn't do any work on the newer series.

Hayashibara did all the OPs for the OVAs, except Never Die, which was Okui (and rules), but Okui did all the radio drama songs (which all rule) except for "Going History" (which also rules)

It was charitably as a Persona-like designed by someone who didn't understand human emotions.

It also had quite possible the worst combat of any "jrpg" released in the past decade, maybe even 2, so they didn't even understand that aspect. Everything, attack/defense, special attack, etc. had to be a minigame.
