Yes, we had it ages ago.

So, apparently, Tactics and S5 composer Norikazu Miura will be Music Director and composer for Tierkreis.

So that's one bit of *good* news at least.

That's a big plus then. I enjoyed both S5 and Tactics' soundtracks.

I realized that I dislike the art style because it reminds me of Final Fantasy Tactics A2 and FFXII Revenant Wings. Both games had a very 'kiddy' art style, I think, and without a more refined style, I think it might be hard to take the game's story seriously unless it's some kind of whimsical romp the entire way through.

[MeshGearFox]

Okay. Kiddie artstyle.

This is, essentially, why I liked Romancing Saga's puppety looking characters and was more neutral to FFIII and IV DS' (Although please keep in mind I never played FFIV and I'm only going from screenshots here. It does look a lot better than III, though).

Anyway, while FF3's take on super deformed was rather cute, RS' characters looked more like satanic wooden dolls. The former strikes me as just a tad bit generic. The latter strikes me as unnerving and whimsical, which is also how I felt about Amano's FFVI art.

So, back to the FFT games. I can't really identify why, but again, FFT struck me as really whimsical, and FFTA... not... as much. I guess.

(Or for another example, legend of mana and sword of mana have a similar art style, but lom's characters are so positively fucked up that it's a lot more memorable, whereas sword just had sort of genericy designs)

I guess to expand that, though, you could also say that TWEWY and Revenant Wings/FFTA2 aren't that different in style, TWEWY just had more memorable character designs. Or something. I don't know.

How many of the 108 characters in Suik 1 are optional?

[Marshmallow]

65/108 are optional in the first game.

Sega in the MegaDrive days? Or beyond?
