Well I'm only at World 4 and I've skipped over a couple levels out of laziness, so I haven't really heard the whole thing, but uh, it just doesn't seem that great from what I've heard so far on the grounds that none of the songs really stick in my mind (aside from the ones taken from other games). The music in the Bowser Jr. levels is pretty neat though I guess.

The opening Galaxies to Worlds 5 and 6 have good themes, so etc.
The theme for the timer-collection Speedy challenges continues to be my favorite.

And then you have the one that you wish would STOP getting stuck in your head.

I didn't really like the Spin Dig/Boulder Bowl theme that much. It's okay, just not really that memorable for me. Isn't it actually a remix of something from the original Galaxy? It sounds kinda familiar. Tbh I didn't like those galaxies much in general. Diggaleg was pretty fun though.

Currently doing the post 120 star stuff in Galaxy 2. I think the game's objectively better than 1, but the familiarity prevented it from 'wow-ing' me in the same way that the original did. Also seconding the preference for 1's soundtrack. It was more... awe-inspiring, where as 2's is decent and fitting but hasn't left much of an impression on me bar a couple of themes.

I don't think so.  (And hey, that's not one of the ones I said was good.~)
I'm told that one of the tracks was inspired by DK: Jungle Beat, but having not played that game I don't know which one.  As it stands, I think it's the only VG track that has ever reminded me of Lucretia MacEvil.

Now that I listen to it again I'm pretty sure it's kinda based on the music that plays in Galaxy when you're Fire or Ice Mario

Wound up buying a Wii along with FFCC: The Crystal Bearers, not a bad game, but learning the ropes is a little frustrating. Such is the risk when dealing with motion controls, though.

Getting to throw shit around with your powers, despite the issue of getting used to the controls, though, THAT is satisfying. :]

I found a copy of Ikaruga at Gamestop the other day, so I've been having some fun with that.

That's a lucky find. I just about given up all hope of randomly running into a used copy of that game a while ago. Hope you enjoy it.

Since my roommate just recently left, taking his Wii with him, I've been going back to my good old black gamecube, playing some games I didn't really give too much time to...

Ugh, that Galaxy.  Thinking back, the concept behind it would have been much more awesome if I was good at controlling Fluzzard :V

Spoiler:
While grinding up the 9999 Star Bits I picked up 52 lives for The Ultimate Test.  I was down to 5 when I beat it.  I took so long the game didn't register my Clear Time.  And most of it was stupid mistakes ;.;

I think it's supposed to be Final Fantasy Legends 2 DS. Just a guess, though.

Yes, this would be correct.

Yeah, the Fluzzard galaxies themselves are actually rather well designed, but I find him/her/it an absolute bitch to control (relative to everything else in the game, at least).

Spoiler:
I had about 40 lives after Star Bit grinding in the Melty Molton Monster boulder course and only lost 7 or 8, though I lucked out in getting past the final area on my first time reaching it. Pretty much all my other deaths were stupid screw-ups at the part with the wave generators. Also, there's a 1UP behind Rosalina's house apparently.

The other good place to pick up lives and Star Bits is Twisting Turning Double Time.  It's a Comet Star, but it overrated its difficulty so much that there are easy-to-pluck lives everywhere.  If you DO die, you'll still be able to come out with more lives than you had and you'll be able to pick up the Star Bits again too.

Spoiler:
Most of my deaths came because it was late at night and I decided to be smrt with forgetting how to do the first and third parts.  Or stupidly running into hammers at the end.  But being able to use Cloud Mario to bypass most of the fourth part was an absolute GODSEND, as was being able to skip the double rollers at the beginning of the fifth part.  And I found the 1up behind Rosalina's house.

I'm replaying the game for time trials and I'm running into Luigi's ghost a lot.  It's a fun extra to try and keep ahead of him (and it's not easy).

Phantom Brave must have the most orgasm-worthy music in history. Anything beyond that would probably just blow my mind.

Tenpei Sato, right? I didn't notice the music when I played Disgaea (kinda sad, I know), but the violin part of the first song in Prinny really caught my attention. I enjoyed most of the music in Prinny so I wouldn't be surprised if his other games are just as good in terms of the soundtrack.

I decided I'm going to try SMT: Nocturne again starting tomorrow. I never really played that far into it before because I always got into some other game soon after, but I really want to finish it.

Also since I don't know if I'll be replaying or not, I'm going to pick Hard. Damn, I have terrible luck, I'm probably going to be posting in that FFFFFFFFFFFFF... topic a lot.

Now I need a good nickname for after the MC becomes a demon near the beginning. I'm going to be unoriginal on the actual name though since I used Minato on P3 most of the time and I used that Seta Souji name on P4.

I'll be attempting Persona 4 soon (as soon as my brother is done with the PS3). Its pretty odd how just because you like Final Fantasy a lot of people shovel stuff like P4 and Disgaea down your throat (real life friends recommends me games... shouldn't complain.  :))

Other than that. I played Mega Man X3 today. First time i played i didn't realize how fun it was. I went ahead and defeated all the Maverick bosses as well as Bit and Byte no-damage, x-buster only. Truly a fun and challenging experience. (Even though those Blast Hornet bee's became quite annoying and Volt Catfish's sparks seemed luck-based)

I can't even do one. Hell, I can't beat the normal arena with Kirby.

I beat Persona 4 and almost every Touhou on Normal, and I fail at a Kirby game.

=w=b
As soon as I got into SMT, all my FF games went into the trash can. Persona 4 is an okay acceptable game, weaker than 3, and is nowhere nearly as good as the "true" titles. Check out Nocturne if you can.

that's why people think touhou is so hard, they don't play shmups
you might be good at RPGs, but you don't play platformers, so you will naturally suck at Kirby

But I haven't played that game in a long time, so it isn't worth bothering.

You know, I really liked P4, more than 3.  But I'm not that big an automatic SMT fan, and I liked it for blending so many elements together extremely well, especially character development.  SMT tends towards hardcore RPGs, and they're not for everyone.
