I’m playing Memories of Celceta and they absolutely massacred this song, the main theme of Ys IV. The melody is rendered as a comically bad MIDI that feels like a WIP that was never intended for release. It’s now the theme for a totally insignificant area and comes immediately after the best area theme in the game. Anyway here’s the much better Perfect Collection version
Quaint Witch, Sad Enchantress

Praise for @MobileSuitLilah
“Lilah is maybe the internet’s greatest poster…a unique and very funny sense of humor…her jokes are specific and experimental while still being accessible to a mainstream audience”
— The New York Review of Posts
“Men you may not like it but…[Lilah’s posts are] what peak performance looks like”
— Virginia Woolf, author of Orlando
“I’m a huge admirer of Lilah’s posts to the point that I left my wife…only then did I discover Lilah is gay and had also never heard of me”
— Jonathan Safran Foer, an author I guess
"Lilah's posts were a huge source of relief during the development of DonPachi...it's no exaggeration to say Cave wouldn't exist without her posts"
— Tsuneki Ikeda
I am about halfway through Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys and it rules. Developed by Hudson Soft, it builds off of the gameplay and story foundations of Ys I and Ys II to deliver probably the biggest and most polished take on the delightful classic era Ys formula of "sprint around and slam Adol's entire body into enemies to kill them while vibing to great music" (or I guess you could call it by the official name, "Bump Combat").
But also I am obsessed with the aesthetic used for its storytelling beats - gorgeous anime-style cutscenes with limited-but-impressive animation, rendered on the PC Engine's 16-bit GPU with lip-synched speech. 16-bit anime graphics are peak video game aesthetic imo and this game has some of the best out there.
