Yeah the closeup eye art was for the US Tokyopop print. What you got there is (as far as I know) the only Japanese print of the OST.

I had the unbelievable pleasure of naming and translating Vivi and Grandpa's Memories for the Sky. Final Fantasy IX means so much to me and being trusted to lay a single brick in its foundation along with the great folks at SQEX Books is a true career highlight.

So, I did a thing. After completing all the English SNES RPGs (171 so far), wanted to do a mega tierlist. For games, AND the soundtracks. And so I did, here are the real best SNES RPGs and OSTs! (In my opinion) Signed, A guy who actually beaten all these games.

When I put together that each of the VoC games hard the roman numerals VI, IV, and IX respectively on each card in each game ... My brain exploded.

After 15 yrs married, then divorced ... when that ended, when we both parted ways, it didn't feel like we "wasted" 15 years. Now, in the death throes of my 5 years dating another young lady ... I DEFINITELY feel like I threw away 5 years of my life. I feel disgusted, and used.

Under the Island is an inspired top-down Zelda-like set on a pretty island. It doesn't quite have the talons to hook into you with its narrative alone (Link's Awakening this is not), but gameplay-wise it knows how to soar. 🪶 Full Review: www.rpgfan.com/review/under...

Yup, we're working on a new Castlevania game. Thanks to KONAMI, & with Motion Twin's friendly advice, the franchise will be going back to its roots with what we hope to be the best whip traversal & combat ever seen in a 2D action-adventure game! Noooo pressure... www.konami.com/games/castle...

Uh oh. I knew absolutely none of that about Yamane. I had just been appreciating her YT channel for her many piano solo performances. Still curious if this also means AI-powered arranged album. It sounds like, maybe, yes? Will keep an eye out.

This is going to be a good series. I contributed to two of these refresh-reviews, and Matt and Rob handled the rest. We're not *replacing* the old Y2K reviews, but it is certainly an improvement to have these in addition to my old 16-y/o ramblings that are tantamount to "hey isn't FF great?"

Far from Dale North's first rodeo, but his work for Wizard of Legends remains inspired and something many an RPG Fan can enjoy (even if you're unfamiliar with the games, like me, but still like good keeping great VGM in rotation). Full Review: www.rpgfan.com/music-review...
