As far as I'm concerned, no. I am sincerely curious in how could someone have fun grinding all the way to 255 if grinding to 99 is already tedious enough Someone send freddythemonkey a copy of Disgaea and its level cap of 9999. <laughs maniacally>

Indeed; pretty much the same reason I went out for a look myself. Interestingly, given the 8 hours portion of the saros cycle length, eclipses typically are in sets where a subsequent eclipse is roughly around the same time of day and geographic locations as the one three previous. As such, the term "triple saros" gets used. It's not ACTUALLY a set of three within a cycle itself, but still, the idea of 1999, 2017, and 2035 being a mystically special triple saros amuses me.

Well, totality has passed at this point. The sun is returning, and Dracula's soul/essence/whatever has slipped through the seal to reincarnate in the unborn Soma Cruz. I tend to favor that thinking simply because that both the 1999 total eclipse over Europe and the 2035 eclipse over Japan are part of the same solar saros series. 1999's was the 21st of the series (which began on January 4th, 1639 and has been producing total eclipses as of June 29th, 1927). Today has the 22nd, and the 23rd will indeed be on September 2nd, 2035. The cycle will continue on until its final partial solar eclipse on April 17th, 3009. Given the inherent cycle length of 18 years, 11 days, and 8 hours, if Soma isn't born today, he's born close to today. As such, this eclipse is arguably just as important as the one in 1999 or the one to come in 2035 (which, despite the assertion in the English text of Aria of Sorrow, is NOT the first total eclipse of the 21st century...at least, not worldwide).

Was Boss Revenge intended to be all boss-level enemies or just the standard ones? IGA's a Bonus Boss, so that one may not be included.

There is no standard or consensus on what a "complete game" should be. Well, other than being functional to said completion. Also, you might want to fix/replace your avatar, DSLevantine.

Brainiac Hey there Braniac, I'm definitely not anyone you were put in contact with previously, no worries. Always happy to chat! ... ... ... <sigh> Again, I am NOT obsessed with Kellogg's Raisin Bran, I just enjoy it for breakfast fairly often. <snicker>

Welcome, as others have said. This will certainly make contacting someone at 505 easier should I get a possible in at another local convention. Now I have an alternative contact...presuming you're not the same person I was put in touch with last time.

Okay, I'm only gonna chime in here once. This article is almost a year old and says "Iga acknowledged that once a new studio comes on board, Inti Creates role in making Bloodstained will be reduced because they aren’t making the procedural pieces of the game." Is Inti still working on the game? Maybe not. It doesn't mean they didn't work on it at all or that their contributions weren't worthwhile.

So I take it you'd prefer what Red Thread Games is doing with Dreamfall Chapters: The Final Cut? Namely, withholding the physical backer editions until now, post-physical complete release for consoles?

See, soundtrack to me means the entire work for a title. Individual works are music tracks (aka sound tracks; the contracted single-word form came into public usage due to the release of "soundtrack albums" in the Forties).
Honestly, I don't think I can or should pick favorite individual tracks from throughout the series as there are WAY too many. However, if you want me to pick soundtracks, which titles have the best overall works in the background, I'd actually be tempted to side with the Pachislot games since those three are basically best-of collections of the tracks from throughout the series.

That artwork posted from Spencer Wan is the image overlay for when an episode ends and it's transitioning to the next. Good stuff and well used.
Gotta wonder if there will be ones for Sypha, Alucard, and the second season addition in said season.
As to Ellis, I'm fairly certain he's not a fan or follower, just like his work on GI Joe back in the day. That just goes to show how GOOD he is, really.

Like I said earlier, I'm slightly surprised at the lack of Chrono Trigger, but it DOES make sense. Three games makes a seventh of the library Square. Four would be close to a quarter (exactly so if you discount the Star Fox 2 unlockable) and might be pushing it since Ninty's pretty much running the show here. In addition, of the three games chosen, one has not had a significant re-release (SMRPG), and another has only been redone for phones (SoM). If it came down to Chrono Trigger or a Final Fantasy getting its "original" number back, I can understand why they sided with FF.
I'm slightly MORE surprised FF5 wasn't swapped in for FF6 on the Japanese Sufamini, though. I believe it's the more popular game amongst that fanbase.

That aside, it would be cool to have a Gargoyle-esque Familiar Shard for Miriam. I'd find it difficult to avoid calling it Goliath (or Hudson, or Lexington, or Demona, or...).
