Easton Gomez
>a fly attacks your party
>normal music plays
>it wipes you out completely
Breath of Fire 1 did this, if you walked in a certain spot, the zones overlapped from a near start of game zone to an endgame zone, and some flies could fucking wreck you (or you could use them to powerlevel if you didn't get wrecked)

Matthew Cruz
At a starting point characters are very weak and rat is a major threat.
Justin Cook
Any public domain sound effects fucking kill me inside.
>That door/gate creaking sound
>That pot smashing sound
>All of those animal sounds (dolphin, rat, etc)
>Fucking Wilhelm scream
One of the worst examples of this is Silent Hill 4. So many enemies have ridiculous public domain sounds used for the enemies who are supposed to be scary. Jaguar sounds for the dogs, a burping sound every time one of the things in the hospital are hit, it's awful. It completely removes all fear when every time you hit and enemy they make the same, public domain sound effect.

Im just now questioning this, but what separates the regular heavens from the high heavens?
Henry Jackson
Ranks.
Eli Wright
>Music is louder than voices and the game has no settings to change that
>Enemies/player has single sound effect when attacked that plays on every attack
>Game that has tons of battles but only one battle song (fucking Persona 4, thank god Golden changed that)
>Guns sound like shit and have no audio impact
>Any puzzles or hidden items based around listening for audio changes/signals but the audio is always too quiet

I agree with your point on SH4, though the first time I felt like the audio doesn't hit the mark was with those burping things. It gave an impression of a shoe string budget game.
Anthony Butler
Isn't this mode meant to be like a new game+ with a fully geared and leveled team?

WHERE THE FUCK IS IT
THIS MUSIC IS LOUD
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Isaiah Scott

Zachary Gonzalez

>yeah, that sound of crowds is a bit much
>enter sound options

Chase Lewis
>music starts from the beginning every time you enter a fight
This is the worst, especially when the battle theme is long or slow. Is it too much to ask for the battle music to pick up from where it last left off? I hate listening to the first 5 seconds of the song over and over again because the fight ends too quickly.
Chase Ward

You know exactly the one.
