    Oof, if you’re gonna hit me with the FFVII main theme it’s gonna be extremely hard to argue

      You have no idea how long I stood still listening to the new version of that track when it finally played in full for the first time as I was playing through the remake when it came out in April. Honestly it hits me a little harder than the original does - maybe because I hadn't heard it in like at least ten years.

        Was really on edge when they said they were doing an FF7 remake, as I was not a huge fan of 13 or 15.

        But they really nailed it. If FF7 Remake is the engine for future games, the series has plenty of life left in it.

          They really did nail the remake. My only gripe with it the entire game was the fact that AERITH'S FUCKING BASIC ATTACKS ARE SO GODDAMN SLOW COMPARED TO EVERYONE ELSE AHHH

            Yeah, but she's got range and she doesn't need to reload. I think they were trying to play it safe with her, and went a little too conservative.

        Fuck dude, the WW soundtrack is so good. I’m a sucker for most nostalgic Zelda tracks tbh I just posted this because I was vining it tonight. Cool that you didn’t go with most people’s choice of Outset Island from WW!

          Yeah, Zelda as a series probably has the most consistent quality soundtracks out of any games I've played beyond Persona/SMT.

          To be honest, Outset Island is good but it isn't a favorite. I have much more nostalgia for Grandma's theme, especially since when I first played through WW at my uncle's house on his game-cube he refused to help me at any point - and since I was only ever there for an hour or two after school when my parents were busy - I never could figure out how to heal grandma's sickness so I would always return to Outset after playing for a bit and run into the house & see if she'd been magically healed via my progression. Uncle was a bastard who didn't want me to get the Elixir Soup until I replayed it years later on the Wii U :angery:

          Fi's Gratitude, Lake Hylia, the Hyrule Symphony version of Lon Lon Ranch , and the damn choral version of Zelda's Lullaby that I TO THIS DAY CANNOT FIND A DECENT VERSION OF are by far my favorite tracks throughout the series I think.

            Don't hit me in the feels with Fi's Gratitude. I don't care what anyone says that game was a masterpiece and I love Fi 😭

              You have no idea how much hope I have in my heart that with Zelda's 35th being next year, we'll see a Zelda version of Mario 3D All-Stars with Switch ports of Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, and Skyward Sword. Please Nintendo, I don't want to have to pull out my Wii U from my closet to play WW and Skyward Sword again </3

                that would be cool, I was thinking about seeing if I could get the virtual console stuff on my wiiu so I'd have most of the games on there.

          Windfall Isle is where it is at, even though it's just an altered Kakoriko village, it's a good one.
