[Any good bands that "shred?"]

check out sinergy, has alexi from children of bodom, and their first album had jesper from in flames, but there is in no screaming. its a girl vocalist, who was or still is married to alexi. warmen is also in that vein and is led by cob's keyboardist.

and if your not a fan of al di meola, that can guy can tear it up

orchestral metal? listen to nightwish

opeth isn't all screming

- the last two - their not too worried about speed, but great music

sadly you limit yourself with no screaming - wanna hear some real technicality, listen to dillinger escape plan...most can't handle it

[anyone know what song this is?]

the guitar sound and chords remind of secret of evermore...but i know its not. maybe its the composer, jeremy soule...maybe not...

edit: sorry i didn't read closely at first to see it was from the forums. ...but it still reminds me of soe.

if kanno isn't apart of it, its a travesty.

we'll see

P.S. Beware of those friggin birds that inflict petrify in the beggining...bastards.

ha, yeah they got me too

some of these monsters seem a lot stronger. just almost got killed outright by a sandworm.

unless there's something wrong with my lite...tried two different pairs of headphones...are you not hearing what i am hearing...its kinda subtle...but unacceptable for ocr standards

***i'm only noticing the static on the fmv on the start screen***

i am in nostalgic boyhood heaven. i am relishing every moment of the remake. so far up to mist, everything is amazing. seeing everything redone in 3d, and done so well, just enhances the experience so much from my imagination when i was kid. all the secret treasure chests in the waterfall in the city of baron are in tact. i couldn't ask for more from the remake.

one issue though...and its a big one, especially on this site.

the music.

the opening has a wall of static when it starts...what gives? the person who programmed the instruments from the original did not put the care into it like nobuo should be given. every time a new theme comes up i feel a bit let down. the worst so far is the town theme. i loved the original, but it sounds really bad here. but hey, the melodies are still there so its still pleasant experience...just kinda sad when compared with the rest of the game.

aside from the music, if they did another remake as good as this for ff6 on the ps3...i would die. its great to know that remakes of this caliber like this can be done. now back to the game.

everybodys gotta crap, but i just do it more frequently as of late haha.

...i'm with you on the poo humor. i used to get a sick pleasure out of telling girls who were in total disbelief and probably denial that they actually had poop in them at all times. would tell the gf to get that poop out. hilarious

[Prayers for bLiNd (UPDATE: He's home)]

I always pronounced Cecil like See-sill.

guilty - i was 5, i didn't know better, but i continue to think of him as my see-sill

He needs a brit punk accent IMO.

but he's a ninja! although i could totally see these english va's doing it

[Final Fantasy IV DS]

I always imagined him with a sort of sarcastic voice. Like a "who cares?" kind of attitude. That's my guess as to what he will sound like.

i always thought he was more of a spoiled punk who learns to humble himself after the

*spoiler*

death of his parents

where do you get the sarcasm?

[Final Fantasy IV DS]

i'm with oa

they sound really good - can't wait

can argue cecil (not what i had in mind in my youth) but it is a typically lead hero voice

i hope edge isn 't gay...he has always been my favorite character for some reason (two swords, magic, steal, and he's a flippin' ninja prince!)

[Things that suck about finding a job on music.]

why hasn't anyone mentioned the importance of finding and being immersed in a market that suites your niche. if you wanna score for video games go to the action in san francisco and meet peepz. if you want to do film you have to go to los angeles. with technology now, we can do things from afar, but you have to go to the source and find the people who can and will pay you.
