Not a moderator, but asking everyone to tone their reactions down a noch. Everyone has an opinion... and if yu don't agree with it, that's fine. We can start a whole topic on retro vs. hollywood esc sound design in the general games discussion forum. In fact, someone please do... but we've pretty much finished beating this particular dead horse, I think. Not everyone s going to enjoy this kind of sound design. End of discussion.

I didn't ask him to tone his reaction down, or that wasn't my intend. I just want him to stop voicing his opinions out of an outrage which would show him rude. Make your criticism constructive and not offensive. If even what you were criticizing is worth all of that, you're like who criticizes the presence of sugar in sweets . I mean what you do irritatingly keep criticizing is completely ordinary.

JRPG is exactly what I'm looking for. Forgive me, I haven't slept in a day and a half lol.

i didnt bash the game as a whole. I just stated I dont like the sound design,m to which I have absolute right

Yes i got it, you only like chinesse food, that's right.

@assault_freak, i know you can't give us too much information at this point, but can you make a general coment about the boss fights? for example, do you think the bosses in this game are challenging?
i remember that the boss in the demo its easy when you know what it will do, But it kicked my ass the first copple of times i played for the first time.

#511 haha, basically if Planet saga could be from Chinese He probably would love it and no matter what type of sound design is there! lol

No no. I don't think. I know we haven't finished the story yet... we're still writing it. lol

I am ridiculously hopeful for this game. I like higher-quality sounds more often than not, but for this genre Imake a very happy exception. Shadow Rine has some pretty basic sounds and I love the game not in spite of or because of those sounds. To me, JRPG sound schemes just have a charm that is very much all their own.

And yes, I'd agree that just calling something "bad" is probably not the best idea. Saying you don't like it, saying you're not a fan, it doesn't suit you, totally fine. Saying it's bad sounds like a globalized judgment of quality, vs. just an opinion. I'm glad this calmed down before it got ugly.

A lot of Japanese games have high quality sounds. But they have a retro feel on purpose of course. Take a look at the latest Samurai Shodown for an example. The game screams of Japanese sound design but the quality of the audio is great. It's kind of the same argument as whether a game should use exclusively older midi engines and instruments in the soundtrack  on purpose

Hi,
So I was thinking to play the demo again. Has there been an update in that or is it the same? I too, can't wait for the game to be released. I am sure it's gonna be great as I had loved the previous game shadowline a lot.

Hi
I think the boss in the demo is a bit easy, although his shots do deal a lot of damage where his strength lies. But, I don't know if that's a bug or it's something intentional: you can ride on the boss, literally, you can jump on him and stay over him, while he can't attack you as long as you stay like that, then you can aim down and attack the way you want and win the battle very very easy. I can show this off in a recording if the idea is still vague.
