You're also missing Suikoden II as far as classics go.  I did have a minor nostalgia attack looking at that though

There has been so many haps on the last three pages I don't know how to respond to any of them.  I think we just had a cathartic Oprah-style release on these forums.

I'm not into battle themes as much as I am for the more relaxing tunes on an OST (see my post below), but Weapons of White was up my style.


I'm a bigger fan of Quaternary and Unary.... but I oddly like the crazy beats, they helped agitate me to solve the puzzles on deck..  Yeah, weird reasoning.  I do like that one for being 1000x more chill though.

The FF7 Boss theme I forgot how good it was till you played it here.... I love when that weird synth instrument comes in, it's like something between a flute and a beep-sound (comes in at the 37 sec. mark).  I also fully endorse boss/battle music with organs in it.


Oooh, I loved this one, had it as a cell phone ring tone till people said it was kinda intense (with that in mind, now it tells me when work is calling).  Really catchy, oddly paced.

Star Ocean 2 - Moderate
I was going through a bad time as school when I picked up SO2, so the idea of being whisked away to some exotic planet sounded just dandy.  But more than that, I loved how the game took you from a futuristic Earth to a really pretty, nature-filled planet; I think the town music in both Arlia and Mars (this song being from the latter) definitely give off that idea of being far from home, but still peaceful with that.

Atelier Ayesha - Rain in the Dried Up Valley
Very earthy-sound.  There's a great buildup, a strong piano rhythm, and an exhiliterating crescendo at the 1minute mark.

Dragon's Dogma - Character Creation
Can you ask for a more weird blend of genres?  Very interesting tune, back when the demo came out, I cleaned my room a bit and let the song play.

Halo 4 - Blue and Green (KOAN remix)
More chill music, very, very nice.

Took a census of my PSX collection.

Welp.

Square has basically already said that the HD remasters are going to be $40 for the pack on PS3 and $20 each on Vita.

And yeah, outright attacks are no. I completely disagree with him on everything he said, but you can't tell people to go fuck themselves here. If you disagree, you can say so.

And Aeolus, whether or not you like FFXII is completely irrelevant. The game is massive and saying it was somehow cheating you by being full-price at launch is... well, disingenuous. Maybe you didn't like it, but the game was not incomplete. It was much improved by the IZJS version, but it isn't at all a Capcom-level "hey here's the same game 8 months later at full price but we tweaked it." The game was still better than most games and packed with stuff to do.

It's not hard to figure out, but every time they do something like that they kill a bunch of builds the same time they intend to introduce a lot of new ones.

EX: When they split physical and special Sceptile got its Leaf Blade build hit hard because it has high special attack.

It's probably worse in this case because the physical/special split was splitting into two different types whereas this time they're making two different properties split between 19 types, meaning moves can have up to 361 different combinations of properties. Combining with that that only a handful of moves are actually useful, the system would only add a lot of interesting aspects to gameplay if they plan on adding thousands of new attacks, which probably won't happen.

Though I guess the other option is to make said kinds of attacks very sparse so that they are only viable for special builds of Pokemon.

I obviously meant component, sorry.  Got it right in every part of my big long post except for the one section Tooker had to go and quote ;)


Well, I guess using component is an option for the Wii U, and that has good old analog audio.  Though that likely means no 5.1.

It's a bigger problem on the new 360 since it doesn't even do component.

Finally saw Looper.  Enjoyed it, but I have to say that I'm not sure how they thought we'd believe the kid who's in it was 10.  I'm bad with ages, but even I could tell he was only 6 or so.

JAST has been teasing a possible localization of Steins;Gate VN for over a year, and are supposed to have a definite announcement concerning whither or not they are going to license it  sometime this summer.

Which kind of transfer were you looking for? Yoshida said players on Legacy worlds will have to wait up to 6 months before they can be moved to "new" servers. I believe we will be able to transfer between Legacy worlds just before retail though. Depending on which kind of server you want to transfer, and how high level your character is, I'd just stay start fresh. Depending on your subscription type, you can have up to 8 character slots.

Oops - yes, that is indeed what I meant.
