Well, part of the reason why I had to slum and buy stuff off of Japanese iTunes this year instead of actually importing the discs like I usually do is because the Canadian dollar is trash. Soundtracks can be pretty expensive if you import (like, if you import a lot, the cost adds up -- but in a case like that, you're better off ordering from Amazon Japan to justify the shipping cost). I think I ended up buying more physical soundtracks for other people this year than for myself!!
But yeah, I sympathize. The first soundtrack I bought with my own saved up money, Chrono Cross, was like... oh man, it was $50 to import at the time? FF8--my second--was a bit more expensive. It's great if you have physical copies, though. Sometimes they come with extra stuff, but I value the liner notes.
Not upset, was just doing the typical "ROBBED" thing people always do here. I knew it wasn't going to be mentioned much.
lol, I fell off the face of the Earth for the last two weeks so I had to have someone explain the meme to me. Whatevs, I've known you for years so I know you're cool.
I felt bad that this entire year I didn't play enough games (I blame you, Splatoon) to truly take part in voting for anything, but seeing how far up Undertale and Splatoon are, I can't help but feel like I'm living vicariously through this all. Good show guys.
Also, Schala not putting up the factual best song from Splatoon:
Sucker Punch. Good to see Ink or Sink mentioned though, that track is a banger. :lol
I think I had you, Coldman, EmCee. and a few other folks on twitter throwing tracks at me when I asked for them like months ago, so I just went with the first few I jotted down, lol.
I feel the same way about GotY. I was asked if I was going to post anything, and I did start writing a post, but I dunno. It'd probably be only five games long.
pls add Super Mystery Dungeon to archive soon pls
Done.
this jam is hot
We had some great soundtracks this year. Here's to a good 2016, hopefully it can top last years.
BTW for those who voted for Trails of Cold Steel, they
arranged an awesome album for their top osts. Definitely much more epic than the ones in game. And if you didn't play this game in time, check it out if you, especially if you like orchestration.
I'm a bit surprised they didn't bother with a Sen II Super Arrange yet.
Sen II was my favourite album last year, and I felt it stood head and shoulders above Sen I. I would've loved to have a Super Arrange album for that game to grade this year, but alas, I didn't.
oh god i forgot to vote and would have been able to make Splatoon number 3 overall since it would be my top pick.
I was honestly wondering when you were gonna vote, cuz I missed your writeup this year. :O
I was all, "Where's Papercuts at? Papercuts usually sells me on a thing if I need to give a thing a second listen." Next year, though!!
I know I
have to listen to almost every soundtrack released every year (even the minor Bandcamp ones), but sometimes people will say something in their writeups for something I've listened to before in my evaluation that catches my eye and forces me to give something another chance. That's why I volunteered for this thread last year. I like organizing it (even though my friends get to hear my whining), and I love reading the posts and encouraging people to write more. I get to know other posters better, and I get to listen to cool stuff.
