I highly recommend checking out the first acoustics album if you haven't, it's got a lot of great stuff youtu.be/yK8lW8Ycqgw?...

The first acoustic album was pretty great but the second one wasn't nearly as good. But who knows, maybe the third one can deliver arranges worthy of the anniversary.

Falcom 45th anniversary arrange album sounds hype, but it being Falcom Acoustics 3 is not quite as exciting

Ah, I see. Lack of difficulty and mission variety certainly sounds disappointing, though I am always interested in trying out interesting games that don't reach their potential.

I got DioField from clearance sale pretty soon after its release but I still haven't played it, if it's that good maybe I should give it a try

I really can't stand how this game doesn't let you skip dungeons you've already cleared when they're blocking a path on the world map. It wastes a lot of time when you gotta go through the whole dungeon again with the same encounter rate and drawn out battle transitions.

Shame the PSP version doesn't have Typing of Ys (not that it would've been possible to recreate than on a PSP anyway but they could've had another Ys mini game) so we didn't get another Zwei style arrange of Adol's theme. I've always thought this song was really cute www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djaj...

I really wonder why I've never even tried listening to these arranges until now considering how highly I think of Zwei's OST. Maybe I was just worried they would be on the level of the Sky Evos, but my worries were for nothing and Jindo delivered great arranges as usual. youtu.be/imW5M9vedwU?...

All the arranges on the soundtrack are by Jindo, and though Zwei's soundtrack is very far from Jindo's usual style I think he did a great job with capturing Zwei's unique vibe while giving it a touch of his own style, like with the heavy use of violin here. youtu.be/QcaNt0wKlsk?...

YouTube video by Falcom Music Channel Zwei!! OST 2008 - Final Battle −Demon Lord Vesper−

The one song I'm disappointed in though is the final boss theme. The original is one of my all time favorite final boss themes from any game, and I don't think this arrange comes anywhere near the original youtu.be/wlBD2-2zmAk?...

YouTube video by Falcom Music Channel Zwei!! OST 2008 - Floating Continent Arges −Main Theme−

I'll have to keep listening to these arranges more to see if any of them end up surpassing the originals as I get more used to the different takes on these songs (and tbh I am very biased towards the originals). But having more Zwei music to listen to is nice either way youtu.be/z7Kl2SGU5jM?...

Whether the songs are faithful or radically different though, I do think it's a very solid OST. I don't think anything there is outright better than the originals but these songs are just really nice youtu.be/-jx3-r6xZWE?...

YouTube video by Falcom Music Channel Zwei!! OST 2008 - Aplieste Temple

On the other hand some are very faithful to the originals, Aplieste Temple has different instrumentation compared to the original but it still carries the same mysterious and somber mood of the original youtu.be/cbWzuQ-1pmA?...

YouTube video by Falcom Music Channel Zwei!! OST 2008 - Supiri Ancient Labyrinth

Having listened to the originals so many times, it does feel weird hearing such different takes on these songs. As an example this one sounds nothing at all like the original, nor does it even sound like it belongs in Zwei youtu.be/0RRFqGFFeIQ?...

Despite thinking Zwei is one of Falcom's very best OSTs, I have never actually listened to its arranged PSP soundtrack until today.

Getting some big Treasure of the Rudras vibes from these endgame lore reveals (could be they're both just based on the same mythological concepts, but I am not very familiar with Hinduism)

I haven't listened to the non-symphonic versions of 1-6 OSTs as much as I have 7's so I can't say much about them, but I agree in general even outside of DQ. There are a lot of cases where real instruments simply can't match the feel of what was done with chiptune and MIDI.

Actually come to think of it Hellena also had visible enemies on the field. Most dungeons in the game are narrow hallways so I guess this is just something the designers did when a dungeon has enough space for it.

For some reason the first dungeon of disc 4 has no random encounters and instead every enemy is visible on the field. The dungeon is really spacious though so it's easy to avoid most fights, even if the enemies are aggressive, but it's so bizarre to suddenly have visible encounters after 40 hours.

A cool thing about LoD is how each disc takes place in a different country. There being a small time skip and a brand new location always makes the start of each disc feel like a significant moment.

I would like to finish this by tomorrow though since I probably won't be able to play during the weekend, but I won't try to rush it either way.

Finished disc 3. I wonder if this is one of those games where the final disc is nothing but the endgame or will it be about as long as every previous disc.

A lot of LoD's enemies' designs don't make sense, but turtle with cannons is pretty high up there on the nonsense list

The first thing any new Falcom fan should learn is to never take anything Kondo says at face value.

Were learning that Tatsuya Nagamine, the director of Heartcatch Precure, and one of Toei's finest creative voices, passed away over the summer...

Its honestly a shock... and so young, at just 54.

Rest in peace Nagamine... thank you for everything 😢
