Rob Hamilton - August 11 '02- 2:43 Eastern Standard Time
A week has gone by, and it doesn't seem like I've done anything I mentioned last Friday, and though I haven't gotten around to fixing any of the broken sig-pic images in my old columns, I figured I really should update my bio page. That should stay accurate a little while, I hope. Until Chesh is back, anyway!

Premature Signs of Age

How Chime, how are you doing?
This morning at 3 AM I just finished FF9 for the first time. The game froze shortly after the ending began. I hate Hironobu Sakaguchi (I can feel the flaming from others beginning now).
On a side note, I also finished Eternal Darkness yesterday. The ending didn't freeze. I love my GameCube.
Anyway....questions follow:
1) I've heard lots about Kingdom Hearts, but I've heard nothing of the music of Kingdom Hearts. Is it traditional Square stuff, traditional Disney stuff, or a weird mix in-between?
|
|
Chimerasame:
Somebody was just recommenting Eternal Darkness to me, today. I should probably pick up a GC sometime in the not-too-distant future, especially with the potential of Square making stuff that crosses from GBA to it.
As far as Kingdom Hearts' music, I haven't heard the OST yet myself, but reports say it's reminiscent of both Square and Disney (not surprisingly.)
|
2) I received a letter today from a library saying I need to return a book. With a 3$/day late fee, I think I agree with them. The problem is that I already did return the book, AND they are conveniently closed today, so I can't speak with anyone about this, AND they're Q & A section of the website is down, so I can't email them either. Is this just some horrible plot by them to take over the world? If so, how would you suggest I stop it? Right now I'm only level 12, so I can use Fire and Ice, but I won't learn Thunder until I vanquish at least 4 more demons.

Chimerasame:
This is really sad. I read this and thought, "Wow, back in my day, library late fees were only a nickel a day per book." I feel like an old man, having that kind of thought about something that's three bucks now. ... but it's true! The library you use seems to be quite evil, and I'm sure there would be nothing morally wrong with using all attack magic at your disposal against them. If you have levels of War Wizard of Cormyr, even better. Libraries are weak against Fire, so your Thunder thing shouldn't be an issue.
|
3) Do you think there's any chance of an FF3 (as in, Japanese FF3) remake on the ps1/ps2 that *MAY* come over to the US? I start college soon, meaning I get lotsa extra time to play RPGs between pointless classes.
|
|
Chimerasame:
Oh, there's always a chance. Right now, I'd say it's more likely to appear on GBA than a high-end system, though.
|
4) There is no #4, this is just a cruel joke. Mwa Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
I'm gonna go take my ritalin now. Everyone go watch Shaolin Soccer, it's the best movie ever

Aw, man, that joke was too much. What gives? :/

Chimeychimechime-
This isn't a question, but looking at your "weird mix
cd" as you called it, I noticed that you have a song
by Pizzicato Five in your library, and therefore you
rock ^_^
Oh, and on the note of the Bebop OST, while Blue (OST
3) is my personal favorite, I recommend OST 1 and No
Disc (OST 2) as well, . Fewer countries, more Engrish
and pseudo-French. And the movie soundtrack, Future
Blues, is delicious. Yep.

Chimerasame:
Heheh, Pizzicato Five. My at-the-time-gf sent me that, it's a nice tune.
Blue is indeed good. It's apparently "which Cowboy Bebop song [I am]" as well, according to one of the myriad crazy internet selectors going around in places like LiveJournal. My favorite is Rain, from the first OST. Green Bird, from the same ep (though second disc) is also quite nice. I don't really hate Mushroom Hunting (in fact, I love the ep it's from, Ed rules!), but it just seems to get really repetitive after a while: something which is more forgivable with a melody than without.

Hi, Chimerasame or chime or whatever you call yourself nowadays. How's life?
I have some questions im hoping that you can tackle because I certainly cant.
| |
Chimerasame:
I respond to either, but if you really want to get my attention, address me as whatever your credit card number is.
|
1) Im sure youve heard this already and possibly a lot but I dont see any
new information being released about two games(Magical Vacation and Fire
Emblem) for the gameboy advance. Nintendo had said that they were US bound
but now which is months later.....all information seemed to have came to a
hault. Is this normal or a conspiracy? Seriously. And your website says
2002 for a release date but Nintendo not giving a solid date as of now is
making me wonder if the translations were cancelled.
|
|
Chimerasame:
I've been wondering about that too. I don't really know much more than you do, I'm afraid--it seems like they're not going to port them over after all, which is too bad. I'd have gotten Fire Emblem in Japan if I were better at reading Kanji.
|
2) Have you ever imported an RPG? Not knowing Japanese makes it so totally
not worth it, dont you think? Its like not knowing how to read all over
again but also not being able to ask your parents what the game says. Thanks
for reading my questions and have a pleasant day.
|

Chimerasame:
Does purchasing in Japan and bringing it back over in my own luggage count as importing? I have Japanese versions of FFIV, V, and VI, for SNES, as well as Kaeru no Ehon (Frog's picturebook!) and Suikogaiden vols. I and II. I am, as yet, unable to play the Japanese PlayStation games on anything.
I can read a fraction of the Japanese language, and it's certainly worth it for me--playing the "imports" gives me reading practice, which is definitely a good thing. I still read slowly, though, which is frustrating. If you can't read it at all, then yeah, I'd imagine it'd be pretty uninteresting--though some people like 'em anyway.

I don't remember this, but if someone does...

Dear Chime or whoever,
A while back, I don't remember exactly how long ago, there was a guy who got
posted in the Q&A section looking for sites that needed a Q&A host.
Unfortunately, I was unable to respond when the column went up. Could you
kindly refer him or any others with the same question to hito@gamevalve.net or
AIM: ID1014578176 ? I'd appreciate it greatly.

Chimerasame:
...Well, good luck!

Chimerasame,
Having Thor guest host would be a great idea, I started reading Q&A around the same time he started writing for it. Although there seems to be some contraversy surrounding his departure of RPGamer, I think it would be great if he came back for a guest spot.

Chimerasame:
He has been back once or twice since his original departure. If I see him around, I'll ask him, but I can't promise anything--his computer access can be sporadic.
