I guess it was cool, but it felt like a weird loophole that they never really even hinted at before then! I guess it's possible I missed it if they did though! I didn't realize the answer was to go the Persona 5 route, but I'll take it.

I don't remember the details of FMA anymore, especially the ending, but I remember liking it quite a bit. Not the most amazing ending, but still well earned and satisfying.

I forget the details, but the homunculi were created differently.
Also the tone was considerably darker and I want to say the entire main cast is just far less likeable. --- As a guru, only azuarc could ever find forever. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Day 7: Best Overworld Theme
Final Fantasy VII - Main Theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UARM4q7hHU With no disrespect to Terra, Crossing Those Hills, or the fact that FFV has three darn good overworld themes on its own, this isn't even close.

Oh, hmm. Overworld Theme, huh? ...Compression of Time doesn't count, does it? It'd easily win if it did but pulling up a gameplay video to double check and I don't think it does... dunno why I thought it did.
...Probably Final Fantasy IX - Crossing Those Hills? ...Wait, does Sprouting from FFX count? If so it's that. Uhh... Compression of Time > Sprouting > Crossing Those Hills. Whatever counts first on that chain. >_> --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ... Copied to Clipboard!

LeonhartFour 02/01/21 6:24:26 PM #324: |
Compression of Time never plays on the world map. It's only ever Blue Fields, even on Disc 4. FFX is a tough one because it doesn't strictly have a world map, and those areas where Sprouting plays aren't dungeons or towns either. It's in a weird space in between the two. I'd allow it since it doesn't really qualify as anything else.

Favorite FF overworld theme almost definitely is Crossing Those Hills. There's definitely other strong overworld themes, but I just love this one so much. FFIX so good.

Yeah, that's a pretty good ranking. I'd have Ed above Hohenheim at the least and Alex a bit lower (more on the strength of the others than any fault in him) but generally I agree.
