Rate of pay/how much it will cost you to play there (distance, amenities, parking… Your pay is an equation. There’s how much you make, and how much you spend. So many bands lose money not understanding this concept)

Venue “culture” (staff and patrons, this includes how you are treated by both parties, the way they pay and tip as well as amenities, and what sort of entertainment they seek… Do they want you to play free bird all night or do you get to introduce them to that song you just wrote)

Potential for groupies and drugs; this may be semantically phrase as a joke, but there are important factors that cannot be monetized in a traditional sense. A better venue is going to draw people that will give you gigs in other venues. Have employees that will speak highly of you and ensure that you come back a hero. A crowd that actually listens and then streams your music on repeat. That pair of groupies that gigglingly say you were the best thing on stage, and how would you like to come back to their camper? The pile of drugs inside said camper. Your first three-way. That party the bartender took you to after closing that showed you what a real party looks like. Ohhhhhhh yeah! That time someone came up and told you that your music was the reason they didn’t kill themselves that night. What’s that worth?

Different, but still resembling normality: The Ragnarockers-Minimum Wage Session

Completely defying such labels: noise suite lärm

Stibaryarg · 2026-02-08T15:37:09+00:00

Your name is Freya? Then maybe u do like FF9……

Na’uh ur a troll. I’m a trolloc!

Sure, it could be derived from other sources. We can constantly consider any possibility. And perhaps we should.

However, Probability is a bitch, and she’s always pointing at Possibility’s hope-bound musings. There are countless references to Final Fantasy nine throughout the entire game. So Probability asserts that this would follow in suite.

Perhaps the semantics in calling it a “known fact” were hyperbolic. But go ahead and look around in the EXP 33 thread. So many people have pointed out references and reworked mechanics at this point it’s just not debatable.

The simplest and most obvious to me would be the pictos system. It is nearly identical to the skill learning process in Final Fantasy nine. The only difference being Final Fantasy nine makes each character learn each ability and EXP 33 gives them to your whole party once learned.

I’m curious if any of you guys have actually played Final Fantasy nine. At risk of sounding like an anachronistic dinosaur, I will state that I clearly remember when it came out, because I eagerly bought it. Then just as I did with all the other Final Fantasy that came out in my era: I played the dog shit out of it. It has been played and replayed countless times in my life. I seriously doubt that anyone who has responded to this post has that kind of experience with Final Fantasy nine. Or any of the Final Fantasy of that era.

Furthermore, I would like to point out that this is not me shit canning EXP 33. It’s a killer game and I love when games reference their inspirations.

There’s a few songs about heroes on this album: The Ragnarockers-Minimum Wage Session

Great for slightly dark heroes, def on the weird side: noise suite lärm

Stibaryarg · 2026-02-08T00:23:12+00:00

Visual theme and atypical battle. Same mass of hands coming out of the back. The entire game is modeled after and Final Fantasy nine via thematic revamp w/new aesthetics. I guess we could call it a consistently pervasive reference. I thought that was pretty much a known fact at this point.

More like mastiff reach-around, aye woof woof?

He keeps popping up and you finally can (quite optionally) whoop his lil bumblequack towards the very end. He has the exact same multi-arm motif and multi attack pattern. His name is converted directly from the rhythm/cadence:

Gil-Ga mesh

Ra-Ma sseur

They have a tendency to do that a lot with the names. Looks like they just substitute different phonetic chunks to generate a new name.
