DYK!? This music was put in 2 games? - Craftman - 01-06-2013 06:37 AM
Did you know that there was a song re-used in two different Ip?
Known as Cara's Theme in Legend of Legaia
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=aZFBuRujm-g#t=316s
and
as Requiem in Alundra
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHrBEnQ0enE&feature=player_detailpage#t=392s (Spoilers)
Here is a Link with the music out of action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSv4Vt3BEkk

Ok, i just want to get it out there that i recommend playing Alundra.
It is basically Mature Legend of Zelda in Hard mode.
Merciless gameplay and story.
It is one hell of an underrated gem and by the looks of it, could have been Sony's answer to having a Legend of Zelda franchise.
Alundra 2 was a complete failure. It did not even have alundra in it. Still an Ok game, but not as good as Alundra. If i could, one day. I will buy the rights to Alundra and make a justified Third one.
I can only dream :*(

I feel the same way about the Chrono franchise.
Chrono Trigger was incredible, one of the most well-written and intricate SNES RPG's, let alone of all time. Every character in the game had depth and emotion, and the ability to beat the game over a dozen different ways, even within the first ten minutes of gameplay (with New Game+) was amazing.
Chrono Cross was a dismal failure of a game. A completely abstract and arbitrary plot, like 40 recruitable characters that are all one-dimensional and lack any development beyond just taking up space on your roster, a broken fighting system without true leveling, and no real connections to the original game until the final arc of the game -- and even THEN the connections are loose at best, with the entire game being nothing more than a giant sidequest to tie up one loose end from Trigger.
Oh, and Cross had no time travel. NO TIME TRAVEL. IN A CHRONO GAME. It has freaking CHRONO in the name. I mean, come ON. It had interdimensional travel instead; not the same thing. You can't take Sliders and call it Back to the Future.
I still hold out hope that someone, somewhere, will someday take over at Square-Enix who has a proper appreciation for the potential of a true Chrono sequel and give it the treatment it deserves. It could have been one of the greatest franchises of all time... instead, it's a glorious original with a broken sequel that killed it off entirely.
[/Chrono rant]
And I agree -- Alundra was awesome and still one of my favorite PSX games. Alundra 2, not so much. Same deal.
