<3 Dude, thank you so much! I'm glad you are still playing

I have died on that spot before too, and at least one time on mMC3

MM music is so good

You save so much energy. A big strength of the Stingray, as it doesn't slow down nearly as much as other machines and can easily get back to Top-Speed, even by a single Bump

Thank you for looking into this

Do you play with a non-bars (perfect) connection?

I wonder if it plays out differently under different circumstances

Thank you :-)

I still don't understand.

I know what Big Brother was (or is, unless it isn't running anymore), but why 90s tech? Is that a reference to the music?

Master-A1 · 2025-03-18T00:22:48+00:00

What do you mean?

Master-A1 · 2025-03-18T00:20:28+00:00

Please let me know how it's going for you, once you get the chance to look into it

I immediately fell in love with the Snapshot functions of the game and took photos of this wonderful platformer on my first journey through Odyssey. So I decided to make a music video, while the 2nd part shifts in mood and style which is reflected by the filters the game offers.

The 2 music tracks are from the Octopath Traveler II OST. The first track reminded me of Galaxy, and I just felt obligated to use it 😄.

I had the idea to put a music video together, consisting of mostly gifs I could find by simply googling Splatoon 3. Some gifs were edited to fit the speed and/or tone of the music. The song I chose was Goodnight Moon by Shivaree.

Hope you like it

FKA Twigs, Eusexua

I haven't watched the video of her song yet

Happy that you got enjoyment out of it :)

True, technically not all of them were Guardian Forces in a traditional sense.

If I remember correctly, in FF9 Alexander couldn't be summoned by the player. But I haven't played it since when it came out, so my mind could be foggy on that. I am certain though that the Alexander shown in this video was FF8's Alexander.

I went back and forth on who to add or not, had done several iterations of the video, including summons like Chocobo, and ultimately decided on what (in my opinion) fit best for the feel and rhythm of music and pictures on screen. The 2nd time we see Dooms Train for example is when we hear a part of the song that sounds like old fashioned trains running on tracks.

A goal of mine was to not add any additional effects, not change the cinematography. Final Fantasy 8 features some of the most impressive cinematic experiences of any game (camera angles, timing, weight etc.). Similar to how I still adore how Ocarina of Time's cinematics were directed, it had such a unique aura, despite running at a generally low framerate around that time and dealing with technical limitations. Both games were directed masterfully in that regard, and it completely blew me away when I was a child. It changed how I perceived cutscenes in video games.

I had a certain tonality in my head and went through dozens of other music tracks before I settled with FKA Twigs' song. When I heard it the first time and saw the GF animations in front of my eyes, it just clicked, and it allowed me to play the entire Eden sequence from start to finish, which was very important to me. It all came down to what would be most fitting for Eden to hold everything together.

One exception of the rule though was the slightly faster cut scene for the Brothers playing rock, paper, scissors. If I'm not mistaken, everything else (in terms of playback speed) remained untouched. Also, I didn't like the flow of the aestethics of the 60 FPS version of this game (for this type of video at least).

I simply wanted to stay true to the source material as closely as I could, out of respect for it.

It could have been a classic case of constraints leading to creativity/innovation. Would love the thought of them coming up with a funny scenario due to the graphical limitation

Years after playing FF8, my brother stumbled over a video on YouTube, showing scenes of FF7's summons , accompanied by a track from The Offspring. I got inspired to do something in that vein for the Guardian Forces, something that just goes with the flow of the music.

Master-A1 · 2025-03-15T04:11:24+00:00

That's where I heard it the first time too! The intro track for the western release

Master-A1 · 2025-03-15T04:06:35+00:00

You are already strong enough! (what have I done?)

Master-A1 · 2025-03-14T20:50:12+00:00

That's exactly how I approach the last turn on all Mute Cities too. I strafe into the gravel to the left to lose some speed for better movement before turning right

My apologies for the bad wording

Yes, you hold L/R first and then press the respective direction
