I bought the soundtrack a few hours ago, but I just realized that The Hot Wind Blowing wasn't included. Was it removed from the iTunes version when it was first pulled?
Right now it is. But it won't be forever.
They pulled Hot Winds entirely!? It's just supposed to be album only. What country's iTunes did you buy from?

I bought it from the US iTunes; neither version of The Hot Wind Blowing was included. I just checked and it looks like the album was pulled briefly and then reuploaded with the missing tracks included, though.
It is up on my iPhone with the album live and both tracks included.
Sorry for the confusion. I've been working to get all of it sorted.

It's cool, it looks like they already fixed it.

You can use chapter select but the trophy will only pop if you complete R-07 last. If you complete R-07 earlier you'll need to do it again after finishing everything else.
Personally I think it has the best dynamic transition into lyrics out of all of them.
You don't like Red Sun!? For shame!!
I don't not like it, I just like it the least!

I'll cry so hard if there's a Rising 2 and the musical style is changed. Rising is a top 5 of all time soundtrack for me.
Yep. Chapters have to be done in one run.

Thanks, so it's fine for me to S rank the mode in any retarded order, providing R-07 is completed last. That eases things I think.
What about individual battle rankings? If I S rank a chapter aside from one battle, do I need to replay the whole chapter again or is going through and getting an S rank on the one I missed out on enough?

This video took me from dying constantly on the Mastiffs to clearing the final round on my first try in about half an hour.
Mission 18 isn't bad at all if you use the right strategies. Same with 19 (where the pincers destroy everything).

Bros, just booted it up and played for about 3 minutes before coming here to enquire... I've input the Cyborg Ninja DLC code and in addition to not really digging how it looks, I've also realised that it gives you another sword. Is that correct? I definitely want my first run through to be vanilla, so is there any way to deselect the suit and default to vanilla Raiden/equipment, or do I have to delete the DLC itself?
Cheers!
Cheers!

Just select "custom body" in the customization menu instead of cyborg ninja.
Huh? Don't you have to buy the "suit" and the sword first in the customization menu? I don't recall it being selected automatically when I put in the code.

Where be that, man? And will it give me the stock blade?
EDIT:
Ohhhhh. Wait up. I think I'm being stupid. See, I've played the demo and I assumed that the suit you have in the demo is what I'd be starting with, as opposed to this bare get-up without a helm (which I assumed was the Cyborg Ninja suit). Incorrect-o?

All those options are in the "Customization" menu. You get a prompt between chapters for it, or you can select it somewhere on the front end menu. In the "Story" option I think.
S ranked R-01 on Revengeance. Did Mistral pretty much first time. So easy even on Revengeance.
I need to go back to R-00 though and S rank that. Such a dickhead mission though cos of how limited you are and how much of a bell piece Ray is.
I'd rather get R-00 out of the way before I go on from R-02. R-02 is a twattish mission full stop so I can't wait to experience it Revengeance style.

Yeah, foxblade costs 200.000BP. You don't get it for free. Press select. Or at the title there is customization.
Edith: Yeah, R-00 is white raiden. That's normal. After that chapter Raiden gets a new body. Like in Ninja Gaiden Black.

That's what I figured.
Raiden looks different in the prologue chapter.
Cyborg Ninja is this guy from the first MGS.
It's my least favorite as well, Mistral's theme is the best!
BTW anyone else love the A Soul Can't Be Cut song? It sounds like Ministry, Fear Factory and Pantera having a glorious threesome.

Ha. Yep. I jumped to conclusions. I did stop and wonder for a moment why it looked nothing like Gray Fox...
Thanks, dude. EDIT: and you, too, Muchi Muchi Pink!

"A Soul Can't Be Cut" is fucking awesome. Love how it becomes the regular battle song later on in the game.

If we're talking the first part, then yes that theme rocks. Mistral's is the best after that one.

this game does motivation music the best out of any action game i've played. during the boss battles when i hear that piano drop/chorus during mistral's theme, it made me fight harder.
polar opposite of that piece of shit bayonetta soundtrack which was just a huge turnoff. actually almost everything in that game was a turnoff except for the stellar gameplay.
armstrong boss theme is the best because of that last 30 seconds. beneath the bloodstained saaaaaaaaaaaaaaands

that soundtrack is so bad. that character design is awful too, i skipped every cutscene after the first few. it really tested my beliefs that gameplay triumphs over art design
but i'm glad i played it because that belief is still true for me

I've just checked with the authorities, and it's possible that you're the worst person in the world.
Yep, final boss theme was also great...to be honest the whole OST is really awesome.
MGR's OST along with NG2's OST's are maybe my favorites this gen, both are amazing.

actually it's really that dogshit main battle theme with the female vocals that i can't stand. all that over the top orchestra stuff was enjoyable enough.
edit: lol sorry guys, i just really despise the art design in this game.

The music is dynamic? I never paid attention to the music, aside from really liking Monsoon's music when it first started and it actually getting me a bit hyped. I even turned the music off during the last boss, because it only added to the anger I had in me at that time.
But that fact and the stylish Sam video make me want to try a Revengeance run at some point. Maybe after the DLC hits.

Sundowner and the last boss are the easiest to no-damage.

This thread is hurting my brain.
I gotta go...lay down...or something....
Why would you.....*faints*
Ripper mode Parrying in Revengeance mode is hilarious. When I fought Wolf for the first time, I parried him while he had 70%+ health and bam, insta-kill. Battle rank: C. :lol
Restarted and tried to play against him more normally so I don't 'break' the fight and was able to bag S rank legit. Just as easy as in the other modes but the first time round I underestimated dat #RipperParry.
She's no different on the higher modes. Incredibly easy and it helps there are checkpoints throughout the whole boss fight. I was shitting on her from great heights to the point where she was only able to attack me with her staff 10% of the time due to me constantly breaking the poor thing and her running away for most of it.

Yeah, with full upgrades hard is not a problem at all. Last boss I skipped the whole rocks stuff due to getting a good combo on him right after the start. He got green immediately. Blade mode -> stun. Hit him hard enough to skip to the next green phase. Already the last qte started than. Took me well maybe 2 minutes.

Working my way through this S run slowly:
I've also started S-ranking my way through Revengeance but I'm always afraid of missing encounters. Is there a list somewhere? I'm currently in the Refinery and I'm not sure whether I have to trigger the security cameras for the enemies to appear or whether I can run/sneak through there.
Also, the S-rank for saving the civilians appears only the first time you do it, right?

Once you beat the game, can you go back and choose which missions to do? Or do I have to go back through it all again? I'd like to S-Rank these, but I'll probably want to go out of order by getting certain ones out of the way first.
I think you have to play the specific difficulty first one time through before you can chapter select it. That's what I had to do for Easy and Normal even though I played through the game on Hard. While on Hard I was able to select any chapter because I had already played through that difficulty.
Have fun with Monsoon. I'm trying to get through the lobby now, GRAD is extremely hard to take down.
edit: Just did it, No Damage bonus is far from necessary but you need lots of Zandatsus. Use RP grenades on the GRAD since it disables it for far longer than an EM grenade then pummel with turret.

Nearly finished the game: can i replay the old chapters with all my upgrades to improve them?
Beat the game on hard last night. Went into the last fight with no paste and basically relying on getting drops during the fight. After so many failed attempts (more than every other time in the game), I beat the last 50% of the health bar with no problems.
My mind was going "oh shit, oh shit, oh shit" at the end. Was really worried I would fuck it all up.

Sure can, but only on difficulties you've already played through in Story mode.
