Dragon Ball Final Bout has to be one of the worse Dragon Ball fighting games (it feels like you’re playing with gravity increased tenfold, and nothing feels satisfying, not even firing kamehamehas), but this opening by Hironobu Kageyama was a killer (with great animation too) <3

Mega Man X5 / X vs. Zero

ROCK-MEN · Song · 2006

I never really got into any Megaman / Rockman (except for Battle Network 1, ages ago), but tunes like this make me really, really, really wanna try again :’)

Now Listening 🎵

Full Moon Full Life

MOSQ · Song · 2024

Me: "I won't play Persona 3 Reload, it lacks the female protagonist, I don't wanna go through Tartarus again, I like it less than P4 and 5 anyway and Burn Your Dread was a better opening song anyway"

Also me after a month: Absolutely OBSESSES over Full Moon Full Life and this cover, which was made from the short version and offers a great variation on the final chorus <3

I love this version of Kimi wa Boku ni Niteiru used for Super Robot Wars Z, the synthetic violins work great 😌

(I'm still in my Gundam SEED period, don't blame me ok?)

Bonus: The same song, but for Super Robot Wars UX.

Not as good as the previous one, but still pretty good :)

Now Listening 🎵

I'm listening to Gundam SEED songs all the time thanks to the upcoming movie, and it's a good time as ever to remind myself that I love the rendition of the songs made for the Super Robot Wars series!

Here, Anna ni issho datta no ni, in the 1st DS game, Super Robot Wars W :)

(PRIDE is actually my favorite song, but I'm sadly not a fan of how it sounds in SRW Z3.2 :'( )

Rufus's Welcoming Ceremony

Nobuo Uematsu · Song · 1997

I completed the Shinra parade scene of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth yesterday!

I’ll now have this tune playing in my head for the rest of my life (and I don’t mind at all, it’s so great! All hail the new president! 🫠) 🎵

Now listening 🎵

Heartbroken to learn Akira Toriyama has passed away.

I'll be listening to Dragon Ball songs for the remainder of the week I guess. Their never-ending enthusiasm matches so well what the manga meant to me.

RIP.

Have I ever mentioned how amazing Gyakuten Saiban / Ace Attorney tunes are, especially when it's time to pump up the player and punish the culprits?

Super duper ultra amazing!

Hopefully Gyakuten Kenji 2 will be translated (with its own 1+2 compilation?), it's great!

It's been 20 years since I played Tales of Symphonia and... I don't think I'll ever replay it again. Loved it, but I remember it being too long... And I don't have the time anymore :')

But I'll try Vesperia soon, I think 🤔

I wanna play Yakuza 8, but for that I need to start playing Yakuza 3.

I played 0 and the two Kiwami in 2021-2023, maybe I'll be at 8 before 2028 if I speed up ... 🥲

(WOH BREAKING THE LAW 🎶)

Now listening 🎶

I don't remember Fate/Grand Order's soundtrack being this good during the (long, long) years I played it!

Almost makes me want to come back to destroy more lostbelts

Almost...

The NieR Orchestra Concert was amazing last Thursday 😊

Now I wonder if I could somewhere, somehow, listen to the Weight of the World Prelude live...

[ffenril]

Now listening 🎵

Tonight is the #NieR Orchestra Concert 12024 [the end of data] in Paris!

Can't wait, I'm ready to be emotionally devastated again as I recall the stories of Nier, Yonah, Emil, Kaine, Devola, Popola, 2B, 9S, A2... 🥲

[ffenril]

Now listening 🎶

Am I really considering buying Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising just to play 2B, even though I did not really play the first game that much?

Getting a custom Weight of the World track is just unfair!

PornoGraffitti · Song · 2013

Not at all a #vgm, but hey, it’s the Gyakuten Saiban / Ace Attorney movie ending theme, that counts for something!

(and it’s great!)

Now listening 🎵

Yet another issue with Nintendo ignoring entirely music streaming services is that linking to their tunes is harder.

Just listened to this in a "Discover" Spotify playlist, but the track was obviously not uploaded by Nintendo, yet it had hundred of thousand of plays…

(and yes, I’m fully aware that linking to a YouTube video is technically the same thing /shrug)

[ffenril]

Now listening 🎧🎶😌

Since I started Persona 5 with the Royal version, I don't have a super-strong attachment to the original version of Last Surprise (I heard Take Over much more while playing)...

But damn the Scramble arrangement of the song is something else, I love it so much 🥰
