Overworld

Yeah.

All of that having been said, similar to what you just said, is, like, now I, I think a lot of people who have been following the Wavelengths YouTube channel have been like, "He hasn't released a whole lot this year," and a lot of that is because, uh, Overworld was in the works, and also this episode was in the works.

[laughs]

Yeah.

Everything has character, especially when you walk into Castle Town, but the lighting doesn't.

Some shots of the dungeon it does, but the Overworld doesn't." Uh, and then Zachsen says, "I'll have to get used to the graphics, but otherwise I'm, I'm not a fan of the changes to the equipped items going from three to one.

I'm worried about how that will change how the puzzles and other gameplay moments feel." Yeah, man, a lot of stuff.

Uh-

Fairly frequent, didn't feel, you know, to an annoying extent or anything.

Overworld felt like it was more rare versus Inside Dungeon.

It was coming up a little more.

And it actually is using, I forget which random Square Enix games have done this before, but I know there's a few that have messed with this idea of like on your mini map, there's kind of a color coding to how likely an encounter is about to happen.

You know what it looks

like? It looks like Mario 3 Overworld.

Yeah, it does.

The Overworld.

That's the

game,

I-I had a good time, like, wandering around and finding, like, really nice emergent, uh, environmental stories, like, which they're calling, like, frozen stories in this.

Like, obviously because you're in the Overworld and radiation has just killed everything, like, you sort of see, um, I guess, little stories within themselves about, like, you know, things that have happened here and stuff like that.

Um, and I felt drawn to all these things rather than going to the objective primarily.

So I th- I think that's a good sign that the world-

We'll see how that works.

And then after that, we're going to rank the hub worlds from the Splatoon games.

And then the shopkeepers.

And then finally, we're going to close it out with ranking all 11 weapon types.

What a good little goblin.

All right.

Next up, we are dealing with Hub Worlds.

Hub Worlds.

So that's, uh, the, uh, kind of disclaimer.

Um, uh, I think that the Dragon Quest, uh, particularly the title music, um, which has lived on, and the, uh, Overworld theme and the town themes are v- classic video game, uh, soundtrack stuff, and I think there's a reason that they have endured for as long as they have.

Mm-hmm.

Does anybody else have anything they wanna comment on the audio?

Do, do, do.

Like, the higher end of that for some reason, I played this game through headphones the whole time, um, that, that just, like, that would cut in my ears, and it also probably has a lot to do with that's the most of what you're doing too.

Um, I quite like the, the Overworld music, though, um, and the village music, like, like you said, Leah.

Um, John, would you mind reading this Patreon correspondence from King Long Wu?
