--- Quote from: Orin Kaenbyou on February 21, 2012, 08:46:19 PM ---Am I the only person that thinks Youmu seems a bit mixed in the different games? There's the Mystic Temple disciplined Youmu, then there's the Hiroari stab-crazy Youmu. Also, Yukari's PCB theme makes it sound like she isn't even trying, but somehow that makes her better than you. The introduction is like she just gapped herself out of nowhere, and there are periods where it sounds like she's just lazing about. --- End quote --- Eh, kinda. I think it fits the battle more than the character. |

Eagerly waiting for the end of Ten Desires analysis. The introduction of Legend of the Great Gods is pretty much unlike anything I ever heard from ZUN before and I really don't know what to think about that one. It surprised me the first time I heard it and still sounds very strange whenever I reach Futo. Regarding Futatsuiwa from Sado, what I find immediately apparent is how danceable and fun (in a, say, Bluegrass sense) that theme is. When you get to the extra bosses, they are usually interested on terrorizing (Flandre), awing (Ran and Yukari), unsettling (Koishi or Nue) or saddening (Mokou) you. Suwako is obviously happy in her theme, but she's just a bit too frantic. Mamizou instead throws some kind of youkai hillbilly dance at you. What a culture shock. |

Whew, I finally went through all those pages (in two days). This is a good thread. I honestly didn't expect such an objective opinion piece. I really agree with you with Lunar Dial. And it's such a shame that it doesn't get real attention. (Flowering Night is to be blamed, but it's awesome as hell, so Lunar Dial just "died" from that) Also, some of my observations and things you might want to know. 1. Wind and Aya do have a relationship as Aya's power is to manipulate wind. I am surprised no one mentioned this. 2. Colorful Path is probably the only window theme for Reimu that is not remix from PC-98, so the Gensokyo+ may only apply to this theme. And it's a really gentle piece. 3. In Lord Usa's Elemental Flag the time signature is 6/4, it's like a playful Tewi adding extra notes after each bar. And I think this is somehow similar to Cinderella Cage ~ Kagome-Kagome, except Cinderella Cage adds a bar after every 2 bars. (1:15) However this might just be a coincidence, as the folk song Kagome Kagome happens to be the same rhythm. Maybe ZUN just put in Kagome, then realized that the "extra bar" worked great as a happy rabbit's signature thing. 4. In Reincarnation, at exactly this timestamp, there are consecutive 4-note-melody-combos. I have noticed that the first set-of-four is more "broken", as the notes ends one instant before the normal time. Then when the melody continues, every time it repeats, the same "broken" effect appears. I am guessing being "just an evil spirit", becoming an important role in the series adds pressure to her. Complete Darkness is when she thinks this is the end of her appearances in the series so she wants to make it a great final effort. Yep, this makes perfect sense! 5. Am I the only one who likes True Administrator? If you say bad things about Miko she is going to perma-ban you. Joke aside, somehow the climax of the song always ends up near when Miko says "Enough playing around!", where she unleash a really awesome-looking non-spell attack. I really like True Administrator for it's simplicity and power it throws at the listener. And just a small note, Miko is The Prince Shotokou, which all Japanese can recognize in 0.1 nanosecond, and all the spells are some kind of reference from their history textbook. All the players need is a really powerful BGM to allow them go all OMGOMGOMG-ish. Pardon me for my bad English. It's a hard language for a regular Hong Kong otaku student. |
