Wild Arms 2.. I'm a hardcore fan of the series even though I've only finished the first 2 games (using cheats btw)..

I could just talk about how I loved WA2 all day but noone might actually be interested in hearing it. I'd just say I think it's too underrated and that although the english translation was heavily criticised, the whole voice of the game is just so, awesome. i don't know. I kind of feel the emotional connection with it but can;t put it into logical statements. :P I just feel happy about it.

Now that I think of it, I also love Legend of Legaia. LoL is the first rpg I've played.

Wild ARMs 1 and 2 are my favourite JRPGs next to Grandia 1, WA2 is so immensely underrated and I agree with you, it's just really really good as far as JRPGs go.

3 and onwards suck..or so they say, something like being mediocre and leaving the original theme that defined the first two games.

Anyway, I wasn't the kid who grew up playing NES and I never played FF7..

Other games I've liked, Legend of Dragoon(sad to see all the energy developing the game didn't achieve commercial success), Threads of Fate, Jade Cocoon(kinda like pokemon) and a musical rpg(made for chicks?) - Rhapsody.

was Jade Cocoon good then? It seemed like it had an interesting enough atmosphere/game world but it kind of looked like bububu I'm not pokemon no srsly also same thing with Final Fantasy 7 to some extent. Whatever I probably don't even have energy for rpgs anymore anyway

Yes!  I think it's good in a way that the gameplay is unique. The story and the voice were not bad either and I actually cared for the game universe, listening to the bard for stories(cutscenes) etc. It's like a tribal-themed epic. If anyone watched Princess Mononoke, it has the same feel but a bit darker.
There's a jade cocoon 2 but I heard it sucks.

and a musical rpg(made for chicks?) - Rhapsody

me and hero bash--match made in heaven????

(yeah it's for chicks, no boys allowed)

Also Ragnar I played a little of Jade Cocoon, I liked it but idk why I didn't feel the drive to keep playing it.  Like, I really enjoyed how when you combined monsters they actually had pieces of each other, not just like Monster Rancher where it's the body of one and the skin of the other.  I seem to remember the gameplay being kinda fun.  It just didn't keep my attention I guess.

Rhapsody is actually part of a series called "Marl's Kingdom" and has 2 sequels in Japan. Apparently La Pucelle: Tactics is related.

i believe i already said no boys allowed, so unless you posted this for mkkmypet there was no need (and also you are not allowed to have this information)

man Chrono Trigger really had a depressing soundtrack looking back at it, I think I read the composer had a son who died prior to composing for the game? It was probably something completely different don't go by my speculation

Edit: lol it had nothing to do with that at all he had STOMACH ULCERS I guess. But that had to do with working so hard on the game soundtrack

ct soundtrack was really reeeeaaally good for a video game soundtrack and some of the songs are just bleak as hell. like the medieval overworld theme i think perfectly encapsulates life with stomach ulcers

ironically I think 600 AD theme is the most hopeful/optimistic/whatever, like all the 1000 AD tracks I guess are supposed to have undertones of MYSTERY and WONDER or whatever but I find them really sad, but if he was trying to have an undercurrent of 'oh shit the world's gonna end' it's perfect for that. Like LaGuardia Forest and whatnot

and this is like the bleakest song ever


it literally makes you FEEL cold


oh jesus christ I'm gonna kill myself



lolol

I also find most of the 2300 AD (whatever time period is Robo's time) songs kind of strange. Like even if Robo's theme is a rip-off of Rick Astley it has weird undertones maybe just because of the sample quality I don't know. The Epoch theme is pretty sad for fucking airship music too. The End of Time is kind of full of wonder/etc. by comparison but it's still kind of bleak

Edit: no offense to Terranigma fans I just think that song is like not as EMOTIONAL as you make it out to be, it starts off ok but then it feels like a minute and a half of Squaresoft music cliches

hey can somebody recommend like the de facto best Nobuo Uematsu tracks? Because like his music is good I guess but now I'm less wowed by I dunno seeming more EXPERIMENTAL than the other guys. whoa FFX he did total metalhead song man and electronicas in FF8. I'd really say every other composer is better than him just not as PROLIFIC unless somebody proves otherwise

but yeah I'm glad I still like Dragon Quest's music now



well aside from it being achingly beautiful (music for chronic ulcers) it really has this sense of like going from scene to scene or something the way it comes together which I try to go for with my stuff

I also liked the guy who did music for the SaGa games but I don't know any one track to prove my point

Edit: I guess Koichi Sugiyama is a right-wing bastard irl though

I also liked the guy who did music for the SaGa games but I don't know any one track to prove my point

Feldschlacht 2

Unless you're talking about Kenji Ito...


Also I guess I should post my favorite video games. My favorite video games are Realms of Arkania: Star Trail, Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall, Stonekeep (aaaa that intro video), the SSI Stronghold that came out in 1992, Gothic, Shining Force, Phantasy Star 4, Suikoden, Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, Breath of Fire 5, Romancing Saga: Minstrel Song, XZR 2 (resurrect Moses, crucify Jews) and probably a million more. That's a lot of games but guess what: I don't give a hoot. Also games today stink and make me feel like this................................












































































































































That's how they make me feel.

koichi sugiyama also did the soundtrack to this game which has the best title in the history of gaming

I was talking about Kenji Ito



Edit how do you do that small window shit

I believe there's an option in youtube, where you get the embed code you get to choose a size..

Anyway, I played Saga Frontier 2 and actually liked it, though I don't get much of the gameplay, there's so many numbers in the stats screen but I don't which is which..
