Fantasian ost sucks:

I'm flabbergasted.  Nobuo Uematsu scored an entire soundtrack and nothing, not a single decent song, came of it.  A few songs were halfway decent, but there's no way you'd want to hear them 100 times.  They were the exception.  The vast majority were turds.  Like, embarrassing to even be associated with the name Uematsu.

I know Uematsu struggled with some mysterious illness and is pretty old (62 years old), but I never imagined it could be this bad.  His recent works, Granblue Fantasy, FF VII Remake's Hollow Skies, Stormblood's Revolutions, Terra Battle -- they were excellent.  As good or better than his early works.  He still had the knack, the magic touch.  Only a year or two ago!  Then he produces this.  And even says it's his favorite soundtrack out of everything he's composed in his life. Ugh.  Even more embarrassing!  He actually thought what he made was good!  He's lost his musical sense that far!

I encourage Uematsu to retire while his reputation is still intact.  I never want to hear something this bad attached to the name Uematsu again.

I practically worship this guy, I have unending praise for his music, I'm not trying to disrespect him or anything, but, Jesus Christ.  This soundtrack was one of the worst things I've had to sit through in my life.  (I respected his reputation so much that I thought surely at least one song would be good so I listened to all 77 pieces, to no avail.)

This reminds me of John Williams composing for the three new Star Wars movies.  The man is 89 years old, but they dragged him out to compose the new Star Wars films.  The result was a completely forgettable soundtrack without a single good song in any of the three movies.  Do you know how hard it is to make a good movie without a good soundtrack?  When you think of a movie, any movie, you immediately jump to some epic theme at the heart of it that will haunt you forever -- unless it's 'The Last Jedi.'  Then you can't remember anything.  You can't even be sure if there was any music in the movie.  Maybe it was a silent film or something.

I love John Williams.  Specifically his Star Wars music, but even other themes from other films too.  But you cannot ask excellence from an 80 year old.  It was absurd to imagine any other result than what we got.  If he'd gracefully declined the offer and left the films to a new talent, maybe the movies would have been dramatically better.  There's no shame in resting on your previous accomplishments.  Old men need to retire and stop embarrassing themselves.  Yes that means you, Biden.  And Trump too!  What's with this ridiculous gerontocracy?

Uematsu at 62 doesn't sound as badly off as these other examples, but clearly his illness 'aged' him beyond his years.  Now his mind and body are right there with Biden's.

I was hoping for some new miracles of musical greatness, but we don't actually need them.  He already has 665 great songs to his name.  Surely that's enough for any man.  That's already the greatest musical accomplishment in history.  There's no shame in retiring with a score like that.  The shame is when you drag your reputation through the mud by selling worse and worse music to dupes who don't realize you aren't the same person as they remember.  It's practically fraud.

Meanwhile, I corrected Honoka's eye color from black to purple.  It only took me 28 tries but I finally noticed.  Also, Riko's eyes are a reddish purple, but they're closer to purple than red, so I changed them from red to purple too.  Am I color blind specifically when it comes to purple or something?  What's with all these missed purples?  Nope, I also got Mumei's eye color wrong.  It might be yellow when fully activating her zombie mode, but her base resting color is 'reddish-brown.'  So I guess you can choose to see it as red or brown, so of course I'll go with red.  I also got her hair color wrong.  Though it appears black in some scenes, the base resting state is yet again different, a normal brown.  sigh.  Will I ever get chapter 17 right?
