I didnt get the hate for this area. Also bonus points for having the least annoying proto relic to collect so far.

Reborth

boret wollace

Also the "fight for us little stamp" that plays during gongagas sidequests. Pretty cute and cool as well. Both scream Hamauzu's style who was the composer for 13

"Come along Reborth."
"Were you talking to me?"
"No, I was talking to my son, who's also named Reborth."

The rebirth soundtrack in general is absolutely top tier and it better win all the soundtrack awards this year.

EDIT: Gongaga hate has to be because navigation is nonsensical. In every other zone outside of maybe Cosmo Canyon it's easy to navigate from point A to point B by looking at the map and charting a course. Gongaga mushrooms seem variable in terms of how far they launch you and where you land, making it difficult to reliably use the map to tell how to get to any particular point.

Gongaga reminds me more of Yoko Kanno. Specifically the latter half of Space Lion:

Is that the one thats goes bowowow bowowow? I fucking love that goofy ass song.

One of the Chocobo racing themes sounds like a Katamari song:

I love the Stamp (dog) battle theme. Makes me crack up every time I hear it.

Rebirth's soundtrack is so good. As far as navigating Gongaga, I actually liked it more than other people did since it made me engage with the exploration aspect instead of just going from POI to POI without much thought. Reminded me of pre-BotW Zelda a bit.

Gongaga is the second worst track in the game, only beat out by Cosmo Canyon (but not by much).

Oh God I forgot about this. OK, Gongaga is third worst and CC is second.

Fuck! I just realized we didnt get the Triceratops tank enemy! I change my mind Gongaga is a 0/10 area

At least not the way it was portrayed in the original. It's the Monoceros (I think that's the name) enemy, because its description says it's the "tank of the wild" or something and its Japanese name is the same as in the original (Heavy Tank I think it was).

I'm hoping we get the actual design in Part 3.

Yeah, I'm hoping Heavy Tank comes in full glory for part 3.

When it didn't show up there, I was expecting (Chapter 12 spoilers) it to be a fight during the tournament against Don Corneo. I would have been cool if the fight against him was him riding that enemy. I was disappointed to see Abzu coming out again.

This all could have easily been avoided by displaying arrows on the map after you use them, showing where the landing point will be. This mechanic was definitely the low point of an otherwise spectacular area.

Do you think they lamented the fact that they called the area Gongaga in the original?

Because there's no way to say Gongaga aloud that isn't stupid as hell
