This demo includes a playable overworld, a new dungeon (the Minotaur Temple), some updated graphics, and general improvements to make the game play more smoothly. Check it out!

EDIT: Thanks for pin

Half the game had bouncy upbeat pop songs with cheesy lyrics on a permanent loop while you were exploring the game's mostly barren levels and doing basic fetch quests, making you feel like you were trapped in a 12-year-old girl's iPod
It would've been a perfect thematic fit for FFX-2 where you were playing as a girl idol group but in FFXIII-2 it was just one of the many puzzling things about that trilogy

Yes I have had the OST on my phone since 2011

some unfortunate "US and Soviets both bad" in this video (and I'd also disagree with the labeling of Cubans in Angola as mercs, a proxy war does not preclude the presence of actually ideologically-committed volunteers), but still pretty neat

While Drakengard 1 was agonising to play 3 very much feels like the Nier series with a lot of what makes replicant and automata so enjoyable. Emulating it at 60fps it's quite a fun game I imagine less so at the 10fps the ps3 achieves

I drafted up a scrambled connection of thoughts on obsidian that I wanted to post but it was too long, too personal and too incoherent.
All that I really have to say is that the endings ruined me (I savescummed for all of them), I don't think I can hear a piano and violin together for a while but the worst ending my far was the phone ringing which I got on my first attempt because I thought it was what Basil and Sunny deserved. The photo album sequences (not the truth one, even though that was masterfully done) drove me to tears a couple times because I have a photo album of a family member who passed and it reminded me of him.
Otherwise, I don't think I'm supposed to resonate to Omori as much as I did. I have an incredibly fuzzy memory of my early teenage years (I didn't kill my sister, however) as well as spending a good chunk of that time aimlessly daydreaming (probably not maladaptive). Playing this game did make me think about a couple things from that time that I haven't forgotten, but I just prefer not to think about them and haven't in years. I don't think it's trauma, but it isn't a pleasant memory. I could also be exaggerating it in my head because my memories from that time are flimsy. Also, in the final fight with Omori I noticed that most of his lines were things I thought about Sunny earlier in the playthrough, which probably isn't ideal.
I'll let you know how orange Joe tastes.
Also, tangentially (sh2 spoilers)

I was playing around with it this morning and did a run through of caves in TR1. It runs at 60 fps in 1920x1080 and it's got a whole slew of bug fixes and even features like Lara's braid!
I can't even get the GOG release to run properly without bugging out so this is a godsend.
Major props to these devs.
*Also just found out they restored the skybox to the Lost Valley level and it hits totally different!
