Indeed, a very, very happy 10th anniversary to the game that, in a better world, would've been the actual third Lost Planet game globally. Anyone who's followed me for a long enough time knows just how strongly I've always felt about this game; one of the absolute best-playing of its generation, full of heart and a stellar soundtrack that hasn't aged a day. (In fact, Capcom gave composer Yasumasa Kitagawa very rare top billing in the credits in recognition of his immense contributions to the game's identity). I will forever continue to hold out hope that they'll eventually give this game another shot specifically with the intention of taking it global like they absolutely should have all along. But in the meantime, I can tell you that here in Japan, physical copies remain cheap, especially PS3, and if you can jump on it, DO IT. (Or pray that it eventually gets over its softlocking woes in RPCS3 because it's a hell of a looker upressed.) You'll recognize a lot of modern Monster Hunter in this game in an overall much more accessible (but still appreciably deep and meaty) package, as a lot of key staff on games like World had a big hand in this game.
Anyway, I'm off to buy that new music completely sight unseen because I did it five years ago for the full album and by god, I'll do it again. ๐
