Mine was out for delivery in the wrong town, so hopefully I’ll get it tomorrow instead.

 

I’ll be getting XC3 too, but this is getting done first while I also have Octopath Traveler and Triangle Strategy simmering away at the same time.

I’ve played the Wild West scenario. It was super exciting at first (a Wild West JRPG wtf!) but was only an hour long, which was disappointing. It was basically 90% dialogue, a search quest, a couple of easy fights, and a boss fight.

Might I recommend Wild Arms

My only memory of Wild Arms was that it had an absolutely fantastic opening theme/animation. I can barely remember the game itself. :D

 

 

 

That music skirts so close to plagiarising Ennio Morricone's theme for A Fistful of Dollars. Their lawyers must have been sweating.

I don't think that's fair at all. It's clearly inspired by it, but I don't see how it comes anywhere near close to plagiarism. The only similarity is that it starts with a guitar and whistling, before heading off in a completely different direction with the orchestra. It basically sums up the concept of Western meets fantasy jRPG.

I don't think I am. They've borrowed heavily from that specific piece of music. Maybe it's just because I know the Morricone piece so well, but I heard immediately the same sequences of notes with minor variations. You can hear it especially around the 33 second mark, leading into the exact same guitar hammer on pull off trill that Morricone uses. It then also has the horse galloping shuffle rhythm that the original theme uses about halfway through, which is exactly the same. 

 

I can't blame them, it's a superb composition and obviously its synonymous with westerns.

This thread has only one post related to the actual game (after all the despatch and delivery talk) and that was just complaining it was too short.

 

Bit of a damp squib then? Since it is now coming to PS5 I thought I’d check it out, but it doesn’t seem to have gained much enthusiasm on here.
