Also: criticism time.
I need to say it right away: I really don't like the battle music. It takes too long to kick in for a regular, recurring battle theme and it's too much movie-ish for me. I could very well rename a song I like using the filename you use, copy it to the folder and be done with it, no harm done.
No, there's no harm done in replacing the battle tune with your own Rise and Triumph, Aero. And yes, it does sound like a movie tune because it comes from the movie Twister, which was released in 1998. ^^ But hell, it's better than the original Meet Them Head On. Another tune I detested...
That being said: you have serious variations in your BGM levels, you basically don't have two single songs playing at the same volume level. The victory chime VS the battle song are a very good example. A sound technician could fix all that very easily. Fortunately for you, you happen to know one. And he's really good!
Now aren't I a lucky one?
I'll have a look at the volume levels in the game, and double-check them.
Also, I noticed you use sound effects from various games like Star Ocean and Final fantasy, this becomes even more obvious in battles. Is there a reason why you don't use PS sounds? Preference? If it's because you don't have them, this is also something I could fix really easily.
Do you perhaps have a link for the newer PSs sound effects for button sounds or pop-ups? That's the only reason really. I don't have those sound effects, otherwise I would have used it.
So, if you have them Aero, feel free to send them to me.
One thing that annoys me. Alys is witty, sharp, clever, that's good. But must she swear that much? She's really, really rude, even in her examination comments.
Ah yes. Just bear in mind that the comments in brackets are her thoughts, and not her actual out-loud spoken words. I know there's this one incident in Mile where she makes this comment when the civilian mentions Zio's Fort, and she thinks,
"Light help me. Has the recent change in weather conditions [censored] up your brain cells? But if it offends people, I'll take it out. I'll
leave the cursing for the more gritty scenes then. It will have a better impact. Hopefully.
Finally: After beating a boss, I got in a normal battle with all my characters on overdrive. I checked and Chaz had an attack choice with no title, costing 0 TP. I tried it out of curiosity, it called for an invalid script and crashed my program. Oh well.
Trust that blonde fool to muck up stuff, yeah? But, I tried getting rid of that unknown skill, even before I released the game, to no avail. I have no idea what's causing it. Stupid Chaz... And yes, I will
never, ever make peace with him. Even if you paid me. I have detested him for the last 9 years, so I don't see why I have to change now.
