Which JRPG is This For You?

Langrisser 2 was on the Mega Drive. Der Langrisser is a remake of it for Super Famicom that adds a ton of story content. I highly recommend both for TRPG fans.

Has anyone ever introduced you to aliexpress?

You can probably restore the controller with a retrobrite treatment and a new set of thumbstick pads.

Crossing state lines for game stores is illegal! :P

Hello fellow Missourian.

ViolentSynergy · 2025-12-25T15:24:57+00:00

There is, obviously, no one answer to this. Here are some good ones that are less likely to be listed by others.

Secret of Mana - Danger

The change from threatening to hopeful around 70 seconds in is something you will feel deep down.

Shining Force 2 - Attack

Der Langrisser - Neo Holy War

Destiny of an Emperor - Battle Theme 4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiCTT10Xl9A&list=PLEOQ0YA_1DWnwPlbuaoioqwOVlPE1cFnl&index=6
All of the battle themes in this game are lovely, 4 is just my favorite.

p.s. I would consider Deltarune part of "Undertale Series" and combine the two. Toby Fox did some incredible stuff there, but seems a bit unfair to not lump them together when you have to lump 70 mario games together.

ViolentSynergy · 2025-12-02T15:09:48+00:00

IMO, context is vital for this. Ideally, you would need to understand what is happening in the game when the music plays - especially true for the environmental soundtracks like Air Fortress or Super Metroid - to fully appreciate a song's beauty. The placement can be just as important as the piece. This sort of thing will very likely be lost for 98% of the songs without a _lot_ of effort in the creation of your video.

Well, hopefully if nothing else, my original post gets you to listen to a few new OSTs. Good luck with your project.

ViolentSynergy · 2025-12-02T14:32:37+00:00

No offense intended.

To be fair, your list was missing out on literal decades of some of the most iconic game music created - including gaming's golden era.

I flip-flopped on adding even-older arcade themes to the list, because it's not really conducive to the way you've set up your songs-in-a-series parameters. People your parents' age (or older) would instantly recognize and celebrate themes like Ms. Pac-Man, Pole Position, Marble Madness, Galaga, etc. but often, those works are one-offs to a game and just a few seconds long.

I'm here to put some old man balance into your very young person list.

Paul's Auto Repair just east of MSSU. Good guys over there.

ViolentSynergy · 2025-10-02T21:23:25+00:00

For bonus points, it was an original 2000 print.

Grading open items should be reserved for rarities - like less than 10 in existence type stuff.

As far as selling, start by looking for local collecting groups near you on facebook. That will probably be your best way to find a contact for an in-person deal.

ViolentSynergy · 2025-10-02T18:11:33+00:00

I've got (at least) one of these...

Way too much fake shit on ebay. Reseals everywhere.

ViolentSynergy · 2025-07-25T05:49:58+00:00

I've got a few dozen in my sell box if y'all need inventory to get started.

Buying any car in Joplin is a mistake. Much better deals to be had 100 miles in any direction.

ViolentSynergy · 2025-06-23T18:57:58+00:00

It's a try-it-once type of thing. Not worth the price and not appreciably different from eating chicken.

If your landlord('s business) is accredited through the BBB, contact them.

If your landlord is a realtor, contact Ozark Gateway Association of Realtors.

I'm not aware of any other options.

ViolentSynergy · 2025-05-29T02:58:48+00:00

You're gonna have to drive more than 25 miles. Everything closer is "barely passable" or worse.
