Ok continuing on from my last thread, he's a different question.

What is your favourite music from a Video Game?

So for me, there are two answers to this for me.

One: The opening theme songs for the VR Games, I expect you to Die. They are absolute and fantastic, and certainly channel that classic James Bond spy feeling. Cannot help but sing them.

Second, multiple songs from Final Fantasy XIV. To The Edge, Endwalker - Footfalls, Shadowbringers, some of the songs from the Alexander Raids , there's too many to name, but these are all great, and seriously can't stop myself singing along to any of them when they come on.

oh yes both of those moments...amazing.

Oh yes, Chrono Trigger most certainly. I was so shocked the first time I got to THAT specific Lavos fight in the game. I'd never seen that happen in a game before.

Never actually played a Far Cry game, I feel like I should at some point, but there are just toooooo many games to play. (And thank you for the suggestion, just updated he post to mention whole games too!)

 

So hopefully I'm doing this right! :) (I'm still new to some of this so haven't figured out things yet! I did ask this via Mastodon also, but wanted to add more detail to my answer!)

Is there a computer game, a moment in a game, a boss fight, or a specific moment that you would love to experience fresh with no prior memory of it?

Mine would have to be The Seat of Sacrifice fight in Final Fantasy XIV, one of if not my most favourite fights in the game to date.
The mechanics work so well and tie into everything that's been happening, and then that moment where <redacted> (I refuse to spoil it!) shows up to help and then leaves with I think what made me cheer SO MUCH the first time I did the fight.

The music, the song To The Edge has become one of my most played songs in my entire music library (alongside Endwalker - Footfalls and Shadowbringers) as it is quite frankly perfect for the fight. and when they revealed that Soken had been battling cancer and wrote it whilst in hospital...

I adore the fight all together, and cannot help but say the lines in the cut scene bit in the middle every time I do the fight, and will never ever get bored of it.

So what moments in a game would you love to complete again with no prior experience?

Avon/B&NES/Somerset, whatever the right answer is :D I suppose it's either Somerset, even though some places even still have it has Avon even though the county hasn't been around since 1996.

yes! It's certainly got to be good-quality shortbread! :)

Ohhhh, so many choices....

  1. McVitie's Fruit Shortcake (Or Similar)
  2. Bourbon
  3. Milk Chocolate Digestives.

as a bonus:
4. Shortbread (as one-quarter of my family tree is from Scotland and I like on the rare occasion I manage to visit Scotland)
