>>69719067
VIII was polarizing, not objectively weak. I'd point fingers at III for that. But none of them are as trash as XIII or the MMO ones

>>69719016
Great composer, what's the problem

Listen to his work not in midi vidya form

Would be cool if the remake used this.

>implying

Please recommend me contemporary artists like Uematsu.

Yiruma and Joe Hisashi are two I'd recommend listening to if you like Uematsu. Interesting how they're all Japanese, I wonder why that is.

>>69719706
Oh my bad, Yiruma is actually from South Korea. Still, all East Asian.

>>69719016
>shitty japanese video game

Purely your opinion and nothing more.

>>69719034
Fantastically wrong

>>69719208
This game hits too close to home when I was a kid and in general. I replayed it recently and finally realized how awkward, weird, and autistic things were. Still it can be fun minus all the damn story time. Seriously anymore when I or someone else plays a game and it gets to a part with a lot of talking or cutscene I'm like "STORY TIME STORY TIME". Like I sais I still like the game, blitzball fucking kicks ass too, idk why they didn't keep that in the series. The game and the whole series is filled with great music.

>>69719338

>I replayed it recently and finally realized how awkward, weird, and autistic things were.

Me too. Replayed it on the PS4 since FFXV is shit and I wanted to play a good FF.

>>69720116
the game just screws with my head sometimes

>that fucked up story where Tidus, Jecht, and Auron lived 1000 years prior but everyone keeps talking about "10 years ago" which is it?!
>a near morbid fixation with death, always talking about it
>that creepy scene where the crusaders and al bhed try to fight Sin and get disintegrated in a blast akin to a nuclear bomb
>the whole sending thing is creepy as fuck, not sure what they are trying to communicate but that and much of the game has some kind of religious/paganistic/shamanistic overtones while at the same time demonizing religion i.e. albhed = good yevon = bad

really makes you think

>>69720728
>albhed = good yevon = bad

You're thinking too much in black and white.

Al Bhed are terrorists who use machines that for all they know do in fact cause Sin attacks.

Yevon's maesters are corrupt. Most of the followers actually care for the people. And even after FFX and FFX-2, many followers are still shown to teach the religion's teachings.

I never beat FFX because of this bastard.

Like it though, might buy the PC version.

>>69720791
I agree and I didn't mean it like that, that's just how they made it sound like. It just seemed a bit weird and off putting that the game was trying to make the religious yevon the bad guys.

>OMG THOSE YEVONITES THEY'RE CORRUPT RELIGION IS BAD M'KAY?!

>>69720830
It's easy, last time I played a few weeks ago I just cheesed the shit out of it with aeons, which is probably how I did it the first time too.

>>69720830
uh, what? The game literally tells you what to do in this boss fight. Summon Shiva and diamond dust. Did you realize you can cast blizzara on yourself as shiva and heal HP?

Japanese people are simply... superior.

At least when it comes to creating music.

8 is a terrible game but the OST is the only thing it got right

>>69719338
no way shimomura is better than uematsu, FFXV shows that

>>69721178
Yeah, I thought as much. Very odd coincidence that they both have the same name.

But yeah, the Kenji Yamamoto I was talking about is god-tier. Super Metroid and the Prime trilogy have such great OSTs. Well Prime 1 and 2 do.

OK so you at least acknowledged I am a man, great. Now never reply to me again with your shit opinions ever again you CIA nigger.

>>69721597
It's OK iktf bro, I was dense as fuck when I was younger. My first playthrough I was about 11-12 I think and I didn't know how to use the sphere grid for like half the game at least. I was stuck at the moonflow and kept dying where you fight the underwater machina. My friend was like "uh why haven't you used any of your levels?" I told him I didn't know how and he showed me. I beat that fucker in the first try after that. I also didn't have a memory card for at least a month or so after getting the game, I just played it over and over, good times. /blog

>>69720728
tidus and his version of jecht are from a dream version of zanarkand that's way out into sea, it's the same time as the rest of the game only frozen before it gets destroyed. Sin carries Tidus and Auron (Auron is from the real world, he traveled to dream zanarkand) to the real world.

Haven't played FFXV yet, but even though I don't really like KH anymore, the soundtracks are god-like.

Plus Yoko also composed Street Fighter 2's soundtrack and gave us all those iconic themes. She also does the music for the Mario & Luigi franchise.

Not that Uematsu isn't godly himself, honestly.

>>69723633
Uematsu is consistently good

shimomura is hit or miss

she's also the weakest composer in xenoblade

>>69719389
how can any ff be worse than 13?

15 has problems but it's not nearly as bad as 13

>In 1994, realizing that he would never get a chance to move up to a real composition duty without some drastic action and feeling concerned about his low pay, he gave Square's vice president, Hironobu Sakaguchi, an ultimatum: let him compose, or he would quit. Sakaguchi assigned the young musician to the team working on Chrono Trigger, telling him that "after you finish it, maybe your salary will go up". Mitsuda was assigned as the sole composer for the game, in the end creating 54 tracks for the final release. Mitsuda drove himself to work hard on the score, frequently working until he passed out, and would awake with ideas for songs such as the ending theme for the game. He worked so hard that he developed stomach ulcers and had to be hospitalized.

>>69724336
imo his work on xenogears is the best, I've never heard a more fitting soundtrack to a game

>>69724363
apparently he also composed the soundtrack to the first mario party?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n47B16L6qo4

that's crazy I had no idea

>>69724418
ya I found that weird as fuck

mario party 1 was the first game I ever owned, and I always felt like it was familiar for some reason

years later I looked up the composer of the simple party game and it's fucking mitsuda

I feel like people become more creative when they're given a stringent set of conditions to make music

The first time I played VIII I thought that the game was a clunky clusterfuck but I actually liked the story (believed Squall is dead theory before reading about it). The second time playing through, the gameplay was more seamless because I learned from later game the first time around that I don't need to grind for hours but this is poorly explained in the beginning of the game.

Could've been a 10/10 but clearly the visionaries wouldn't let anyone detract from what they saw making the game less accessible

>>69719042
Hey mate, FFXII and FFXIV are actually extremely great games.

>>69725521

>>69725579
>Still need to grind draws
Nope, just draw from cards.

Also, it's tempting to minmax but not necessary. You can rush through the game at lower levels, it makes battles more challenging and there was only really a difficulty spike ehich would require some grind on the final disc.

among japanese score composers, joe hisaishi is GOAT

yoko kanno (plaigarism pls go), yuki kaijura, uematsu, all great

>>69725579
If you're grinding draws in FF8 you're playing the game wrong. That's what Triple Triad is for. Seriously just through playing Triple Triad and drawing from cards you can get tier 3 magic like Firaga and Curaga in the first few areas of the game

>>69725775
Actually going through the game at low levels is easier because enemies and bosses scale to your level. Seriously if you're drawing from cards and playing Triple Triad FF8 is the easiest FF game to break next to FF6.

why do people like these shitty games it's not even a game you literally just press a button over and over again until enemy dies

>>69726001
>literally just press a button over and over again until enemy dies
Can't that be said about literally every game in existence?
