@B_BanBread@Legendary67777 He writes basically all the lyrics for Persona games nowadays (which sucks because he's most definitely one of their worse lyricists)
@Grumbles266751@Maleoay@thatBarbarella Tbf most of the story for the classic games is found in manuals and other supplementary material, so it's kinda a given most people won't be familiar with it. Even if they were, I doubt many are super attached to Simon's characterization given his lack of dialogue in older titles
@MegatenQuotes Knowing Kozuka I'm like 99% sure he was gonna leave it without music and then some exec was like "Kozuka we need Color Your Night 2 so we can sell this game to the Persona LARPers ๐"
@deyluvDom@TKelley89404@dweeler@DanielRPK Producers primarily just help find funding for the project and ensure production goes smoothly, they don't usually contribute creatively. These are the only ones he's actually written and yeah all of them are ok at best, awful at worst (usually leaning towards the latter).
@FolklessMetal@MikeVanderbilt Exactly, I feel like the central point of this movie goes over so many people's heads. It literally ends with them going on a futile revenge quest to kill some random they've projected their anger on, and yet people still think the movie tries to "redeem" Dixon.
@StevenVo2168 I keep seeing people make that point about Digger and I don't understand it. To me it blatantly reads as highlighting the redemptive power of storytelling in moving past trauma as opposed to being entirely dismissive of itself. Did I miss something or is it just subjective?
@DrYetiCarella@CoreyAtad Technically yes but thematically kinda opposites. In Bruges is about learning to accept that you have to go on living with regret, Wild Horse Nine is about learning to accept that you have to die with regret.
@sluggishprinter Yeah I figured I just wanted an excuse to point out some thematic stuff in NOC that I don't see talked about much lol. Haven't had time to see Possible Love yet but it's probably the film I'm most interested in seeing this year, alongside All of a Sudden.
@parasstexas Haven't seen La Bola Negra but The Odyssey also has a monologue near the end pretty blatantly explaining the themes of the film to the audience. It's actually one of my main critiques of the film.
@RunePopz@MitoRequiem I should've specified that I meant that many songs within each soundtrack are basically interchangeable with ones in others, not that the entire soundtrack of each game itself is interchangeable. Poor wording. In their entirety the soundtracks do have distinct qualities yes.
@chippiti_real@IceYoshi12 I think its one of those that works better within the context of the game. Sort of less catchy/melodic and more atmospheric. I didn't like it much initially either but it's grown on me a lot. Possibly the best dungeon themes in the franchise as well.
