So happy these are all available on modern platforms because I used to have this one and Portrait of Ruin growing up. I'll never understand why people hate the anime aesthetic here either. It just looked like an anime similar to Rondo and every other Metroidvania.
Es que de por si el arte de aria of sorrow estaba perfecto, entonces para ser una secuela como que es bastante chocante, con portrait of ruin no pasa eso, ya que para mí el juego maneja una mejor estética
Rondo at least had the poppy character and vibrancy of being made in the '90s helping it. This _here_ is bland by comparison. They didn't course-correct until Order of Ecclesia either, but Portrait tries a _little_ harder at least.
the actual song name was can't/don't wait until the night. it wasn't called heart of fire until heart of fire (castlevania 1) was added in as a segment in aria of sorrow. this song doesn't even have that segment so it's just can't/don't wait until the night here.
Got announced and released just little.over 12 hours ago. Came out of nowhere but I welcome it with open arms. Also included was a brand new remake Haunted Castle.
I wouldn’t say remake, more like a different version. Because Haunted Castle is completely different from the NES one, and this revisited version is like a remake of that arcade game
Okay, so, SMT5 has a lot of odd references to Digital Devil Saga - the three keyholders are Odin and Zeus (makes sense, two chief gods who recently got redesigns by Doi - spotlight the new lead artist's work!) and... Vasuki? Who's guarding Shiva? Who namedrops Brahma? It's made me suspect for a long time that a DDS remaster or even remake is next in the pipeline. And this rerecording of the Nocturne Battle Theme might be fuel for the fire! SMT3 famously used really compressed music, which is why the original solo variants were lost to time. But Digital Devil Saga, being a late-era PS2 game, _doesn't_ have compressed music, which has the really unfortunate side effect of forcing ATLUS to simply loop the OST version of Normal Battle (which I guess means they'd lost the files already back then?) Which is very sad when that bonus boss takes people upwards of 40 minutes to clear, not counting game overs... But imagine trying to clear that damn thing with the full, randomly looping guitar solo suite? It's gonna be good lads.
