“Doubling down on Rebirth’s maximalism” sounds awful to me 😬 I really hope they can pull this off…
i physically can’t make it through this paragraph. it’s like the mgs4 microwave corridor

Five chapters into South of Midnight and I am floored! Audio visual mastery on display.
Sounds like the music in the latest KH4 trailer is by Shotaro Shima, exciting! The usual elements of his battle pieces are a dead giveaway (his usual FFVII Remake "sting" SFX, atmospheric synths, cinematic percussion, stacked brass and flutes in rich chords, etc.) youtu.be/54eFEhlnIjg?... [1/2]

My good friend @ronnieromm.bsky.social was updating our DnD campaign character art and... does that not look like @patrickrainville.bsky.social? This is our Human Wizard Vinenzo "Vince" Almedas!
omfg Kow Otani is main Composer on Beast of Reincarnation. AND they got Yasuaki Iwata??? Can’t believe I had to find a launch day clip of the credits to find this out.
The oldest known screenshot of VGMdb, captured in September 2007 around the time of the official launch.
This is the second time I make a video about a trailer for a game that has then turned around and massively disappointed me with their next trailer (digital 2Pac was the other)… I might need to reconsider this approach!
this goes for just about any platform you could think of, patreon twitch whatever, please do not do give money to creators through a platform's phone app unless it is literally the absolute only way you can do so. you pay more, the person you're trying to support gets less, it sucks for everyone

Rebirth Ch. 9 has some of my fav music from the game and @patrickrainville.bsky.social ’s video does a great job examining it all with insight and humor. Give it a look!

Every page of this French Nobuo Uematsu biography has been such a revelation. Had no idea two of his first scoring gigs were 80s porn.
