Final Fantasy XIII-2 Soundtrack's Descent Into Self-Parody is Audio Metaphor for Series

Oh hey, there’s a new Chocobo song in Final Fantasy XIII-2! I do so love hearing the new arrangements of Nobuo Uematsu’s whimsical theme that arrive with each new iteration of the series. Let’s give it a listen! Oh. Oh god.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); While I’ve been a bit more forgiving than most concerning the quality of recent entries in Square Enix’s celebrated role-playing franchise (I still like XIII and X-2!), I have to admit that one aspect of the franchise that’s definitely on the decline is the music. I had thought that it was just me; that the classic music was so ingrained in my being that I couldn’t accept say, lyrics in the Chocobo song from Final Fantasy XIII ทดลองเล่นสล็อตฟรี And then I heard this. At first I thought it was a fan creation, something a clever group of metal-minded Final Fantasy players had mocked up on a lark. But no, this is “Crazy Chocobo”, a real track from Final Fantasy XIII-2. The lyrics are a little hard to make out, but here’s a little of what I โปรโมชั่นสล็อต can make out: “Saddle up if you think you can ride in this rodeo / Are we in hell? I don’t know…” Yes. The answer is yes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKBld76VVqk The rest of the soundtrack isn’t quite so bad, with the possible exception of “Invisible Invaders (Lake Bresha Rap)”, a seven minute long lyrical nightmare as written by a thirteen year-old torn between her love for fresh rhymes and JRPGs. “Waking up in a world where the warriors reign / The pressures of life drive you literally insane” You know, as opposed to figuratively insane. The pressures of life do not simply make you drink from a cracked teacup or wear a silly hat. U31 com That shit will fuck you up. Not sure if I should add “yo” there or not, so I’ll play it safe. This hasn’t broken me. I’ll still play Final Fantasy XIII-2. I’ll just play it with the sound turned down and the Chrono Trigger soundtrack playing in the background. It does, however, bode ill for the direction the series is heading in. At this rate we’ll wind up with Final Fantasy XV with a soundtrack by Justin Bieber and Sepultura.
