Yeah but they advertised that the Japanese 3DS version had the orchestrated soundtrack, so even if the music is better than the old midi ones it sucks that the composer went crazier and decided no one after 2015 could have it.

The same thing happened with DQ7 3DS, the Japanese version has orchestrated music. It's so weird

What the hell. That's so drat weird.

There's an interview with the guy who says he doesn't like the idea of his music looping or being used for background dressing repetitively. He's apparently also a neo-nazi or something so maybe he's actually badass.

I looked it up and he denies that comfort women were a thing during WWII and co-published a full-page newspaper ad about it

I got stuck on that one for a long time, it has a lot of weird specific triggers that I possibly missed due to retardation

the only bit i got stuck on was trying to find the excavation site from memory, then i remembered the alien guy gives you tips and he basically told me exactly wher it is

Yeah I probably visited every single island on the map by the time I actually found the excavation site again. I wish the map had location names on it
