Some more Cold Steel IV Act 3!

Let's take a look around St. Ursula before we tackle Stella Sanctuary, Annabelle is still trying to get out of her arranged marriage with Kenneth's brother as her butler urges her to elope with Kenneth to save herself, but she still can't admit she loves him. What a weird sitcom situation this is. Also, I'm kind of surprised CS3 or CS4 never spoiled who the big bad of Zero was (or maybe they did and I missed it). They always focus on the Crois Family, but either way, good job there!

We also find the Priscilla talking with Cecile as she's come to visit the Emperor. Looks like she knows Olivert is alive. I was kinda curious about that. As such, they ask for permission for Alfin and Olivert to visit as well. We get a quick scene where Olivert and the Emperor exchange a few witty remarks at each other's expense, but there wasn't as much to it as I thought there'd be.

Oh hey, Patiry finally managed to find Kargo. So he was the kid hiding under the sheets when I came here before! Not much else to see here, so I'm off to catch a giant fish Kenneth told me about!

More later.

Does Sonic SFF Pac-Man like Mario does?

Eh, I think there's a generational gap between the two, so I don't think he would.

I'm not entirely convinced Sonic (if he manages to beat Yoshi) outdoes DK on Mario!

I think Sonic beats Yoshi because my gut reaction is that Pac-Man beats Ryu (or at least comes very close).

DK over Bowser is a travesty

also man they really did not understand SFF when they set this up

to be fair we didn't either for the first contest!

it's just something we take for granted because we've had contests for nearly 20 years now but it's not a concept literally anyone else considers

Day 30: Song with a Special Meaning
Final Fantasy IX - You're Not Alone!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKAoSY5bhSw

I don't know if I'd say any song has a "special meaning" to me in that it has had a real life impact or significance to me. I'll pick this song because it's probably the best song I haven't chosen, and I do like what the song represents within the scene itself. It's one of my favorite FF moments (maybe I should do an FF moments list next). The presentation of this part of the game is top notch, between the auto-scrolling dialogue at the beginning to make sure the song hits at the right moments, and the fact that the song just plays non-stop through the whole sequence.

whew, and with that, I'm done!

Okay, a bit more Cold Steel IV Act 3!

Still working my way through Orchis Tower. Fun dungeon. We have to disable all the locks preventing the elevator from reaching the top floor. When we manage to get to the top, Victor and McBurn are waiting for us. Laura is ready to face her father to prove that she has surpassed him and is a worthy heir to his legacy and the Sandlot name. Sharon asks McBurn what his motivation for doing all this is. He admits he doesn't care at all about the end of this world and all that. He just wants to find someone who can make him go all out and hang with him, and with that, he transforms into his Blazing Demon form. Apparently, Emma catches the significance of McBurn saying this world. Are we in a multiverse now?

Now it's time for the hard rock boss theme. This is a pretty fun fight, and I made sure Laura finished off her father with her S-Craft for good measure. Punished Rean got the final hit on McBurn, too, so all in all, I'd say it worked out! In the cutscene, Laura manages to knock off her father's mask...which really means nothing since he isn't mind control other than being a symbol to show she won the fight, I guess! Well, it seems he's been loosed from the grip of the curse, at least! This is one of those weird situations where one boss is clearly beaten and the other is barely fazed since McBurn is still just standing there like nothing happened. Not sure we've seen this before! Jusis says he seemed less intense than other times they've fought him, and he said it was only to let Victor have his moment in the spotlight. Now he's really ready to go.

However, one of those Leviathan Zauber Soldats appears on learning Victor is out of commission. Looks like they had a backup plan in case we actually won in a rare display of not complete arrogance...! Naturally, McBurn is none too pleased with this development and just one-shots the thing himself, which is good since we can't summon Valimar here! Or so it seems, but apparently this thing has anti-magic armor that can even deflect McBurn's attacks, which is impressive because his S-Crafts go through barriers when we fight him! McBurn is about to destroy it with his own demonic sword, but the dual Vanders wreck it, with a little help from Kurt's mom to set up the strike! Apparently, Victor had his own backup plan in case things went south, too! I like how Mueller still calls him Olivier, even in Erebonia. It's a nice touch that shows how much their time together in Liberl meant to him.

The Vanders are about to challenge McBurn when Zechs realizes he's still holding back his power. With that, McBurn decides he's overstayed his welcome and gives us a quick glimpse of his real power before taking off. This apparently confirms whatever Emma's theory was. I like how McBurn is the one dude Class VII is legitimately terrified of. It really builds up his mystique, and you kinda need to do that if you're trying to sell me on him being Loewe's equal or even superior. Victor pushes us on ahead to destroy the barrier generator, and the Vanders agree to escort him to safety.

When we reach the top, there's an orbment charging station, so I imagine there's a Divine Knight battle ahead once we deactivate this barrier or something. Sharon advises we destroy the device rather than simply deactivate it in the event Mariabell has rigged some traps into it. Sure enough, she's right there as soon as her name is mentioned. It looks like we're going to have to fight her, but on the contrary, she takes down the barrier herself and says she doesn't intend to get in our way. Mariabell says we've proven ourselves worthy to face the next Rivalry, so she no longer sees the need to interfere. She says to consider it an apology for having to bring Alberich's hideous machine here. I like how all the other bad guys seem to really hate this guy, and rightfully so. He's Weissmann tier bad in terms of generic villainy. I guess every arc needs a guy like that. I guess that orbment charging station was just a red herring. Well played, game.

We switch back to the finale of the play, and we see that Elliot's dad and Neithardt showed up to the performance, as well as Lechter, Claire, and Principal Vandyck. Elie catches a quick glimpse of Mariabell, too. The biggest shocker of all is that Lechter left without doing the walkaway wave. Turns out Roselia and Thomas are also here. At this point, I'm waiting for Osborne to randomly be here! But Roselia says she has to attend Arianrhod's grand finale at the Rivalries, so she takes off.

With that, we're free to head on to the Stella Sanctuary. Victor joins the Courageous II crew and reunites with Olivert (and Toval for a minute, but then he runs off with Josette, it seems). Rean asks him to stay and rest, although Victor says he hates to not be able to help. Duvalie says she wasn't going to let the Arseids run the show anymore anyway. As the leader of the Stahlritter, it's her duty to lead the charge on this one. They all tease her about how she's one of them now, and she doesn't exactly deny it, which is nice. Juna insists on tagging along here as well, of course, and Crow is also required, naturally. We have an 8 member party again, which is good. The randomizer gives us Fie/Gaius/Altina/Randy for the other four. It's good to have the other Crossbell guy along for the ride here, so I'll take it.

We can visit St. Ursula and the surrounding area before tackling the shrine if we want, but that's about it. I can finally tackle a Trial Chest that's been unavailable for a very long time now, so that's good.

But all that will have to wait for another time.

Whew, after a few days off, let's get back to Cold Steel IV Act 3!

With our investigation of Crossbell complete, it's time to start the mission. It begins with selecting our party. Rean/Laura/Kurt/Machias/Sharon are required, and the randomizer gives us Jusis, Emma, and Sara, which is good. Word about the new Arc en Ciel show gets around fast, and then we get to see Sully and Schera do their thing on stage, with Estelle doing some backup dancing. Joshua is playing the harmonica, and Olivier is rocking some shades.

With that, Rean and company are able to sneak inside Orchis Tower. Kate and Franz help us get past the Imperial Defense Force inside, to boot. She also speaks to Sergei on the walkie talkie, but it's a shame we don't get to see him or hear him. Cutting back to the show, we get random cameos from Vita and Bleublanc. When we get to the Thaumaturgical Sector in Orchis Tower, it's glowing in psychedelic colors. Dungeon music here is strong.

Day 29: Most Underrated Track
Final Fantasy Tactics - Requiem
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvdxVbhs02s

This was a tough decision, but I wanted to give Tactics a category win since I haven't done that yet and we've only got one more day left. As far as somber, emotion-driven pieces, I've always really loved this song. It might be a little too heavy-handed or overbearing for some, but I think it's great.

The other song I was considering was Feel My Blade from Final Fantasy IX. Vamo'alla Flamenco gets all the credit during that part of the game, but I've always thought this song was way better. If you needed VGMC nomination ideas, there are two songs that have zero chance of making it in or winning a match!

Batman getting obliterated by DK is interesting, since the voters are clearly distinguishing between Batman the film/TV/comic book character and Batman the gaming character.

Oh hey, there's Armin. Also, I was kinda hoping for a bit more drama in that Levi/Zeke showdown, but I ain't gonna shed any tears for Zeke getting punked when he asked for it. I'm guessing Eren is going to steal the Jaw Titan's power so he can break through Annie's cocoon next. But...would Eren become the Female Titan if he ate Annie...? How would that work? Maybe Mikasa can take the power next! I'd still prefer Annie survive and just defect though!

Also my prediction is that the first black guy in the show is the one responsible for all their upgraded technology. I'm sure we'll find out more about him soon.

Day 26: Song That Makes You Feel Relaxed
Final Fantasy X-2 - Besaid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umj4_bKQ3v8

Gotta give a shoutout to the superior Besaid theme! But yeah, just that mellow piano and background instrumentation is really relaxing and pleasant to listen to. Pretty much any sort of slow piano tune would qualify here for me. Heck, Eternity ~ Memory of Lightwaves from FFX-2 might be my runner-up here, too!

Yeah, but that was just for one arc. It keeps happening in DBZ!

I feel like this is definitely going to be our farewell to Vision by the way - I don't think he can survive this story and not end up completely undermining its themes. Wanda is going to have to move on for this story to reach a conclusion.

Yeah, I feel like that's what this episode was setting up. Wanda has to be able to accept that Vision as she knows him is gone.

WandaVision Episode 7 complete!

That confirms one of the big fan theories I've seen. Curious to see what they do with these last two episodes.

Day 25: Song That Makes You Feel Pumped
Final Fantasy X - Fight with Seymour
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXfx16UIPF0

There are a few good candidates for this one (mostly battle themes, but they're kind of designed to get you pumped up, so that's what I naturally gravitate toward for this category), but this song is one of the only ones that'll actually make me get on my feet while it's playing during the game. As odd as that sounds, it's like I just can't stay seated while this song is playing during that fight. It just really raises my energy level.

Here's hoping the Falcons find a way to trade Matt Ryan so we can push the start date back to 2006.

Unlikely to happen this offseason but there's a decent chance it happens next year!

also with this trade there is not a single QB drafted in the first round from 2009-2016 who is still on the team that drafted him

Day 24: Song That Makes You Feel Sad
Final Fantasy VII - Aerith's Theme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIqKWLkm2-g

I dunno about "sad," per se, but as far as a song that's just packed full of emotion, this one is it. It's not just from the context of the scenes where it's used, but the song itself is just really moving.

Honorable mention to Requiem from Final Fantasy Tactics, a song that doesn't nearly get the credit it deserves, so I felt it needed a shoutout here.

Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 6 complete!

And now we're all caught up to the dub. The Scouts' new gear looks super good! The fight between Eren and the Warhammer Titan was really cool. Although I wonder where Armin is because they could probably make use of the Colossal Titan at some point.
