Song Comments:
Well, it's late, but I hope that this proves that if I really like a non-Japanese tune, I'm willing to rank it just as high. Unfortunately, this is pretty much the only tune I can think of that is really great outside of the game. Truth be told, I never planned to rank it this high, I just took it for the list because I knew it was good, and only realised how great it is when I listened to it again.
Game Comments:
I really tried to get into this game, several times, but it's just too difficult. The first time I played this, I couldn't beat the initial "beat the rats in my cellar" mission because I equipped a sword that wasn't compatible with my character class and wondered why the blade went through my enemies. On my best run, I got to a huge town where all of a sudden, someone shouted "I got you now!" and killed my character in an instant. I hadn't saved for a very long time because, you know, I was in atown and assumed I was safe. That made me quit the game. It's kind of a shame, though, because I really think that this is a great game. On the other hand, I played Oblivion for 93 hours even though the whole prupose of the game was undermined by its ridiculously stupid level scaling.
