    Sonic CD: Temporal Duality - History

    in Projects

    Posted

    I'm really liking the idea of Sonic CD getting its own OCR album, it's long overdue. I don't have any musical or artistic skills to offer, but a possible title came to mind while looking over the thread: Mobius Curve. Basically it refers to Sonic's figure 8 dash that is an actual Mobius Curve, but also the name of the world Sonic is from in the earlier games/tv shows/comics is also called Mobius (granted Sonic CD takes place on the Little Planet, so that might not apply so much). The artwork could feature a close up of Sonic's figure 8 with corresponding "Past/Future" style signs on opposite points of it that say East and West instead.

    Anyway, it was just a thought I wanted to share. Regardless of whether or not it's found appealing, I wish you guys luck in completing the album.

    Breaking the game from the inside

    Speaking of Final Fantasy V, I've learned in my most recent playthrough of the game that using the Magic Lamp item to summon Odin can instant kill certain bosses, including a component of the final boss.

    Also, using the Chemist's Combine/Mix command can be really broken depending on what items you put together. A Phoenix Down and a Dark Matter can be combined into a single target instant death attack with 100% accuracy (as long as the enemy is susceptible to instant death skills). It really comes in handy against King Behemoths in the last leg of the final dungeon. Following that, the optional super boss Shinryu can be made into a (relative) pushover by using the Time spell Quick and then combining two mixtures that blind and berserk the boss. Throw up Golem for the stray accurate physical attack, and you can pretty much take your time with it.

    FF6 Balance & Ruin Kickstarter RELAUNCHED (and FUNDED)!

    Aw man, that was enough to make me take the plunge for an upgrade to $100. A pity I was at work when it happened. Oh well, at least I got to hold a copy of the FF4 album for a little while, and it's not like I don't already have the music for that and the Sonic album already downloaded.

    This was definitely a smart move and I'm eager to see what the final total will turn out to be.

    Video Game Orchestra October Concert in Boston & Kickstarter Album Fundraiser (AWESOME VGM stuff)

    They managed to reach their goal. Looks like they're pushing for a double disk if they make it to around the 40,000 mark. I really wish I could afford to donate enough to be able to request arrangements from a game/series of my choice, I'd go for something from Phoenix Wright or Battle Hymn of the Soul from Persona 3. I'm glad they managed to break $30,000 and hopefully they'll see another surge of support in the final 24 hours.

    This seems to be a big Kickstarter day for me between this and FFVI. Pity I don't live close enough to attend the show itself, but I can't say no to a physical CD of the performance. I've watched some VGO performances on youtube, either from their own channel or from attendees from when they played in Distant Worlds. Best live performance of Dancing Mad I've heard in the FF concert tour so far. I hope they reach their goal.

    Great Accomplishments in Gaming: get your brag on

    I can beat Battletoads on the NES without using any continues or mega warps. I can beat

    and
    . I can also clear Clinger Winger in one attempt but I don't have video of that at present.

    Not sure how great an accomplishment it really is but I can beat all eight Robot Masters in Mega Man 9 with just the Mega Buster.

    I found all the Chocograph treasures in Final Fantasy IX without using a guide of any kind.

    I can beat the level 130 Feral Chaos at the end of Dissidia duodecim's story mode with a

    party

    Frustrating News for Final Fantasy Music Fans

    The news of a lack of live stream and CD release is really disappointing to me. These Symphonic series concerts have all been standout performances in the growing realm of video game music orchestras. I hope this all changes before the performance date as I would definitely love to hear some new orchestral arrangements of FFVI's music in particular. I can only imagine what they'll do for the encore.

    Good ol' Goddammit Nappa.

    I love DBZ Abridged, especially once they hit their stride and it became consistently high quality. The amount of dedication and effort they put into each episode is astounding. I vastly prefer the DBZA version of Frieza over the official Funimation dub, Little Kuriboh nailed that role.

    Nintendo Power to end publication after 24 years

    I got a serious kick out of the Star Fox 64 promo VHS tape Nintendo Power sent me back then, the one with the Sony and Sega guys trying to uncover the secret of the rumble pack, or something along those lines.

    I also liked those 12 issue long comics for games like A Link to the Past and Super Mario World they did. I would seriously consider buying those as a compiled collection (which I think they were released as, I just didn't have my own money at the time or something).

    I haven't read Nintendo Power in several years but it is kinda sad that it's ending.

    Final Fantasy II: Rebellion - History

    This is one of my most anticipated albums on the site at present. I've always enjoyed the FFII soundtrack and it's great it is finally getting the recognition it deserves. I'm particularly looking forward to the Battle Scene I and II arrangements, as well as the Main Theme, Rebel Army, and Finale.

    Something clever about the midnight channel or how I can bearly wait.

    I see what you did there. I'm not big on fighting games but Persona 4 is one of my all-time favorite games and I've already got this game preordered at Gamestop (yay for bonus arrange CD) for the PS3.

    VGM Recommendations for a Wedding

    Symphonic Suite Final Fantasy Scene IV (Finale from Final Fantasy II)

    The majority of Symphonic Suite would probably work, save for Scenes II and VI, which would not fit in a wedding setting, as they include the boss battle theme and Imperial Army themes from FFII.

    The Main Theme of Final Fantasy II is really nice too. The recent

    is done very well.

    You could always loop the dance segment of the Final Fantasy VI Opera during your first dance as a married couple.

    OCRA-0035 - Final Fantasy: Random Encounter

    in Album Reviews & Comments

    The album turned out pretty well. It's not my favorite overall, but was still very enjoyable even without being a big fan of hard metal. I liked Fierce Fairground Fight, Earthrise, The Beginning of a Legacy, and If I Could Sail the World, among others. The repetition in parts of Sentient Machines keeps making me zone out so I don't really remember much of that track. That and The Last Story were probably my least favorites that I can remember after just two listens, but I did find the latter was more enjoyable than the King K. Rool battle theme mix from the DKC2 album, which immediately came to mind each time that track began.

    All in all, it's a good album and I'd like to thank everyone who was involved for their contributions. You guys set a pretty high bar for the FFII and FFIII albums.
