any Touhou game whatsoever.
YES

any touhou game as well^
Aaaand YES!!

Though I have to admit, I wasn't found of touhou 6's music... don't get me wrong, the tunes were great, that's why there remixes are amazing. I just think Zun had ruined them with the instruments he used...

Even the first Touhou game had music that made this sound like crap...

Anyways, all the other touhou games:  :thumbsup-left:   :thumbsup-right:

I used to like Touhou but I would disagree about the music even when it is pretty exceptional. Compare Remilia's theme to this piece of masterpiece from Banya (also video game composers) and Dianna Boncheva. They are both remixes of Beethoven's work.

A lot of shmup games have great music too like Hellsinker. Touhou's popularity aside from its music is amplified with its open worldness, fan interpretation and exposures among many other things. And how it's a huge shoutout to Japanese mythologies and religions despite being lolis.

Point taken. This thread is all a matter of opinion anyways, and I respect opinions.  besides, the touhou remixes are so much better than the original, I admit it...

LEGEND OF MANA. 

Yoko Shimomura composed this way back in 2000 and it has the most memorable music for me. :)

I still listen to the FF9 OST all the time. 

Really enjoyed the first Crystal Chronicles soundtrack as well.

How many parameters is 'too many'??
Yay, now back in action Happy Christmas time, coming back!






Back in action to develop the indie game that has been long overdue... Final Fallacy. A game that keeps on giving! The development never ends as the developer thinks to be the smart cookie by coming back and beginning by saying... "Oh bother, this indie game has been long overdue..." How could one resist such? No-one c
So I was playing with filters and this looked interesting...

Versus the normal look...

Kind of gives a very different feel. :LZSexcite:
To whom ever person or persons who re-did the DS/DS+ asset packs for MV (as in, they are all 48x48, and not just x2 the pixel scale) .... THANK-YOU!!!!!!!!! XwwwwX
