The Dual Dragons

Symphony of Enchanted Lands is awesome, I also dig the EP Rain of a thousand flames, love those tracks. Queen of the dark horizon, woo.. classic shit. My guess is that Luca wants to do his solo projects more than he wants to do Rhapsody. He started pumping out solos albums around every corner and Rhapsody even had a break before this new album. I guess he didn't sell too well with his solo stuff, so he went back to the cash-in

It may sound like a really depressing thread, but I guess sometimes we just wanna get our anger out! I just heard the newest Rhapsody (of Fire) album, and it really sucks IMO. All their in-your-face glory, memorable themes and epic narration has been turned to dust to me. Symphony of Enchanted Lands II was great, had a lot of great tunes.. It was like a climax for the band, then the Triumph or Agony album came and spit in my face lol Now Frozen Tears of Angels... man... what a dissapointment. It's like the arrangement and guitar stuff is all over the place with no particular meaning. The same goes for the vocal tones. I just wish they got their music into focus, making solid stuff again.

Not quite sure, we did what we wanted to do with that Legend of Dragoon remix, not many of the tunes in the soundtrack we feel like remixing outside what we've done..

Perhaps I will, I got his phone number yesterday from this goth chick with nipple piercings who's been his lover for about a year now. Part 1 of plan is a success. On to the next step!

HELL yeah man.. I finished it today, 2 hours ago, really nice climax. Overall, great game.. don't think I am patient enough to get 100% on the game though.. I am not much of a trophy & get EVERYTHING geek, feels too much like a chore.

lol Let the man rest in peace will ya, everyone, forget the whole Koopa thing, FORGET! R.I.P to Gary and Dennis Koopa Hopper and of course the mighty Dio.

I've been kinda skeptical towards this game, is the story grand?

HELLYEAH man.. I love that game too, I was playing tons of modern halv-assed games like the stupid and cliche Uncharted 2 while I was EAGERLY anticipating Star Ocean 4, and I was in heaven, getting a complete RPG world with lots of big events again, gotta love that stuff, epic music pounding on all the time, something that is a dying art.

The man behind Tales of Symphonia is the man behind Arc Rise Fantasia I believe... I'll buy it. Since Tales of Graces doesn't seem to be planning a US release, curse them lol. Well, if you see how the Western people hack on J-RPG's these days, many saying they want the J-RPG genre dead etc. I don't blame Namco for not releasing all their titles worldwide.

Hell yeah man, same here. Gotta love J-RPG's. Let's cross our fingers for something beyond classic turn-based battling though. But then again, if the story is insanely good, who cares.

It can be compared by some of the gameplay elements, like ownings houses, Waypoints you can travel to with 'taxi horses' and changing of costumes at your home etc. BUT other than that, no way.. I got the game yesterday and have played it for 8 hours already, it's brilliant lol Very unique, and you have no clue to what's up next. Like today, I went to save before planning to turn the game off, then suddenly they were yelling in town, a thief stole the shop keepers money, I ran outside, got on my horse, chased him down, threw a lasso over his head and bonded him, brought him to the shop owner and he kicked the villain in the head like 10 times, cracked me up lol

Not sure, but I guess it's Nobou since they always stick together, although it's a bit too commercial to be him? Not sure, at least it's solid stuff, the theme got me right away. And yeah, The LAST Story, FINAL Fantasy, maybe he's trying too hard to connect to the past, although that might be a great move.

Maybe you're right hahaha.. but even so, who knows.. I have long hair, maybe I could undergo a make up session ala FF VII and lure him in, we could beat him up and force him into the studio, would be kinda fun.

EDIT: Debut trailer out! Looks cool. Not much story reference to us who can't speak Japanese though, but the first impression is pleasing. If you can speak Japanese, does the story have interesting aspects? lol Hi, just wanted to say that I checked the official website of this game. Why did I check it? Because it's a Sakaguchi title.. He may have done a few Game design mistakes in the recent past. I personally felt Lost Odyssey had a lot to offer though, I thought the game had a lot of heart and the characters had their moments. http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/slsj/ So open the page, check the fancy logo, listen to the music. It's filled with passion and heart, just as I had hoped his next game would be based on. I have high hopes for this title, but that's just me. I am not a big fan of the recent WAVE of action games that are overshadowing the whole RPG scene. (ooooo, yeah I said it hahaha) I do play a lot of these action games though, a lot of good ones, but .. still lacking in the RPG area.

Not gonna listen to your suggestions yet, want the music from the game first, but I'll be sure to check your list again after playing the game, I have high hopes for this game, Can't wait!

Man I envy you, I pre ordered my Red Dead almost 3 weeks ago, was supposed to have it last friday, but a rain storm prevented the game from reaching the seller I bought it from, he had to go there to get it, then he ships it to me several days later (on monday) .. still haven't gotten it.. I'm pretty angry. I can't wait to play it!

I want super street fighter 4 as well, but it'll have to wait, got a few hundred hours of RPG gaming to do first, also, have Street Fighter 4, with all costumes bought Hate to just throw away all that because of the new characters.. but there are a lot of characters... damn it lol

Indeed, we did those a few years back, we would do a lot more but as you mentioned, a lot of guys covered great tracks, we would absolutely LOVE to do the Extreme, but it's been done by others and I know a few who're working on it now so..

Felt like starting a cheesy topic because I'm bored right now sitting at a school waiting for a few guitar students, so here we go: What are you playing right now? I am currently playing Arc the Lad 2, BRILLIANT game, played it 2 times before but keep coming back to it.. LOVE IT lol Excellent plot, characters and has one of the best tactical battle systems imo. Also playing Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY edition, keep cursing to those damn Challenges I can't do well enough, the other day I finished an 'extreme' challenge in 5 minute. I honestly felt like a pro, then I saw the leaderboard, saw people that finished it in 45 seconds, then I just turned off the damn game lol

Hi, the landing has been covered by us if you like metal. http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01948/ Enjoy Also... love the FF VIII music, and the game.

Hi guys, noticing a lot of Dragoon remix talk, so I just had to butt in and link to the one we did, if you like more guitar oriented stuff, enjoy It's a medley, I guess most of you can figure out what tracks we used, just for fun lol You can find the mp3 at the bottom of the download section in our Dual Dragons website. Adios! -Dan

Getting the game next week, haven't heard any music from the game yet, if the soundtrack blows my mind, consider it done within the next month

Great! Glad you liked it lol Doing another Lost Odyssey track would be fun.. hmm..

Thanks man glad you liked it! And indeed, God of War is THE metal game out there without metal in it lol LOL Good point hahaha. Well, I would love if Roy Khan could guest on a track one day, but hey, he's busy as hell now making it big with Kamelot, love his voice. And Russell Allen is a personal favorite, Labrie.. eh.. he was on Images and Words

Bump so those who haven't heard it can hear it. Enjoy! Also check out the Phantasy Star remake we used for Dwelling of Duels last month 6 min epic medley. Peace! And YEAH!
