Things were getting really confusing between my '100 Waifus' character list, my supplementary 'wonderful' character list, and my 'wonderful' playlist which was meant to combine the two, so I made things simple by putting all the characters from '100 Waifus' into the 'wonderful' character hall of fame. Whether they deserve it or not is less important than simplicity and consistency.
In '100 Waifus,' eight children were banished from Eden before Christopher gave any of the remainder a special theme song. But for simplicity's sake all those characters have also been assigned songs now, as far as the 'wonderful' playlist is concerned.
In '100 Waifus' Wakaba and Akane are one person, so for simplicity's sake I count them as one person in my wonderful fictional character hall of fame, and assign them one song they have to share.
Everything must be simple! No matter the cost! It saves me a lot of headaches moving forward. 1,527 wonderful characters, 1,527 wonderful songs.
The main reason I wanted to expand my wonderful fictional character list by making the standards more lenient is so that my wonderful playlist could grow. The truth is many of my 4-star songs, hundreds of them, were previously rated 5-star. None of them got worse over time, they were just shouldered out by new and better songs that kept coming along over the years. But my desire to listen to them hasn't diminished at all, because they're still amazing songs. If I could legitimate listening to these demoted 4-star songs by giving them characters they were associated with, I could create the ideal listening environment by having all the best 4-star songs (which are really 5-star), and all the 5-star songs, together in one place.
I'm still not satisfied. There are probably dozens of additional songs from the 4-star tier that deserve to be 'pseudo-5-star,' and added to my wonderful playlist. But I'm out of qualifying wonderful characters so for now I'll have to bear with it. I still have lots of new video games which are full of new, potentially great characters I haven't played yet sitting on my bookshelf. If I could ever get around to them, they might be able to supply the names I need. But at least the best of the 4-star songs are already covered. In the past couple weeks I've carefully been listening to my 4-star songs, noting which ones were vital, brainstorming what worthwhile fictional character would best match those songs, and then adding that character to my wonderful fictional character hall of fame. It's been working like a charm, and hundreds of the best 4-star songs have been safely anchored as a result.
Battle with Seymour has the potential to be a 5-star song if only all the annoying loud drum sections were edited out, so I reduced the song in size to 4 minutes and 28 seconds using my Audacity editing tool, then assigned it a wonderful character.
Impressively, only 75 4-star songs in my wonderful playlist have no association with the character's franchise. I've done a pretty good job of matching song to character. Even when there is no official association, the song is still hand-picked to reflect the atmosphere/personality of the character it represents. They still match quite well, those 75 free floating songs.
For instance, Raphael's theme song is 'Underground Sewer,' because the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live -- in an underground sewer. It might not be the same franchise, but can you get any tighter a connection than that?
In Heaven Burns Red I was given some free recruitment tickets and was lucky enough to get diva Ruka up to limit break 2.5. I also got celestial Seika up to 2.5, but that isn't much use. I'm only 3 Protean shards away from getting diva Ruka to limit break 3, which will be a big boost to my strongest party's power level. Diva Ruka's limit break 3 ability is -2 Sp consumption, so she'll be able to buff people with her Luna spell for really cheap. It's a super strong buff, too. At least by the end of the month I'll have those shards.
