She's supposed to be a female version of Jesus of Nazareth (hence her name and the mention of her abilities: extent of turning water into wine). MIkaboshi is based off of the Japanesse God of evil and stars. Not to mention she was the Morning Star that fell (aka. another name for Lucifer). From what I was able to translate, Mumumu was hiding in the stars and fell to Gensokyo to escape/hide from Iesua and her followers. Hence, starting the game's story.
As long as you keep trying to draw, you'll get better. No normal human being has ever been born automatically a genius in aesthetics; they spent years upon years of practice to get where they're at now, just like professional football players, or professional gamers, or professional anythings. It takes time, but with patience and determination, anyone can do it, no matter how "untalented" they think they are. I used to suck at drawing, but after 4 years of sketching, I'm finally getting good.
Thanks for posting this. Like many out there, I really like the energy packed in this theme. Last Comer also (IMO) redeems video gaming from the horrible failure known as Bible Games for the NES. As an aside, I remember a guy that used to post extended versions of video game music that would lock ratings in his vids and put a prayer thanking god and jesus in everyone one of his vids. This is probably one of the few songs where that might have been close to appropriate. XD
The stage 3 boss is most likely based on (at least 1 of) the Magi, or Three Wise Kings. Her name sounds fairly similar to Caspar, so I think that's who she's supposed to represent, but I'm not sure. The boss herself is a magician, and uses the stars to foresee the future, similar to her Biblical counterparts' roles.
*The Mad Savior.* ...I don't think I can help her. She won't stop, and she has... become untouchable within her armour of delusion. The most terrifying thing is that I think she's genuinely a good person in there. But her plan... her plan is utter insanity.
With a creative mind, you can make your own remixes WITHOUT software, and you can also draw. It just takes practice. Don't say "I can't draw, so I won't"; say, instead, "I can't draw, so I'll try to get better so that I CAN draw". It's the only way to get better.
I agree. :/ I saw some nice drawing of Iesua and Elfin Mint together somewhere, but it was a single drawing. I think this game is turning out to be quite underrated...
I ran into the guy back when he posted a bunch of extended music for Saga Frontier. I was more than a little irritated back then, to say the least. And yes, I've read up on the backstories of the cast from Last Comer. I'm still trying to figure out who the stage 3 boss is based on, but it was interesting and very creative.
I haven't tried drawing. Well, I have, but I haven't drawn much. I've draw a black and white simple sketch of Yukari's Gap and a few dead trees, but not much else. I have, however, gotten into composing and I'm honing that skill quite well. I don't have any of my original songs on RU-vid yet, but I will soon. I really should get into being an artist, though. I have so many different types of pictures I want to draw, and a lot of original characters as well.
Well yeah, all info on the game has been in Japanese. >.> What I know of the characters I got right off the gameplay video that was posted on niconico douga when the game "released".
I at first thought she was based on Blaise Pascal (a mathematician that became a religious philosopher), but I've seen discussions comparing her to Nostradamus.
Tee-hee, probably it'd have been appropiate in this video. (Yes, I saw some videos from that guy too, I think it was Time of the Dreamwatch or something similar). But I wouldn't have been able to make it seem "realistic"... And Bible Games, I recall those~ Some weren't THAT bad, but most of them were horrible... Regarding the game, if you read the backstories and character profiles in this game, it turns out there are some interesting references to religion (Iesua) and mythology (Elfin Mint)~ :3
Oh, that guy. Alkahest, I think. I was irritated too at first, but he seems pretty cool actually. What's past the prayer is usually quite informative and funny, and he no longer locks his stuff.
I'd really like to know if these mountains in the background are an actual location. And if not at least know the name of the artist who put it together.
Eh? OH..*cough* er right..um....crap. Sorry, I guess my mind was fixtrated on Iesua's theme I wasn't thinking of the third boss. I am curious myself who she was based on actually. I'm going with Nostradamus at the moment
Haha, yes. I wonder who she was based on, too. Also, she references Pokémon in one of her spellcards, fun~ Ah, and why "more than a little irritated"? I mean, was it so annoying in a way?
IMO, the song starts off way too intense. Final Boss Themes usually lull you in and then have a climactic part to them. This one puts the climax at the beginning.
