I must say the music is godly~You guys have a great taste in music.
What's amazing is how much of the music overlaid in these chapters is from Claado Shou (of Chrono Symphonic fame!), specifically for CE! I'm not sure what he had in mind for the uses, but his works really snapped into place here. By the time the CE team ordered up a video walkthrough to accompany the projected release, they realized that Claado Shou's music wouldn't make it in because it would have to be recomposed in MIDI and Claado Shou himself couldn't be contacted in time.
So what's an aspiring modder-turned-video-walkthrough-er to do but switch off all the music and shoop it in for the walkthrough? I threw some other tracks in there while I was at it. Too bad I didn't take the time to do more chapters like that, but the Emerald Dream ones really demanded this kind of treatment in my mind.
Mikisho, I did not end up with Ice 2 by the time I did the NG+ run-through, mostly because I didn't use Marle too much, eheh. It's actually a "Continue +"; in CE, you had the option to restart the game with any save data, which was pretty cool. I was in the middle of my third beta testing/preview footage run when the CE team decided they wanted a video walkthrough, so I fired up a Continue + from a 3/4 complete point in the game I think. What's kind of embarrassing is that later on you'll see where I hacked a savestate to get all of Ayla's techs so I could show them off without having to waste time grinding.
Oh snap, was that a spoiler?
