Arcana II Card Master, OST
 Today, I feel a little like exploding. For some reason, my bandwidth has reached an all-time low and I have been having the hardest time keeping connected to KRR's FTP, or using any sort of network connection at all, proving very hard for uploading things. The frustration isn't stopping me, however. Here is a lovely update!

 Going further with the Related Music project, I have uploaded Arcana's Soundtrack. I don't know how many of you have played that game, but it is one of the three RPGs HAL made. I really didn't like the game at all. Too difficult and a bit mundane. The soundtrack however, was just amazing! I think was maybe the first game that both Jun Ishikawa and Hirokazu Ando both worked on! Even before the Kirby's Adventure days. You heard right folks, this soundtrack is on-par with the legendary Kirby's Adventure soundtrack we all love.

 Don't believe me? Why don't you have a listen for yourself (), and go take your picks? ... However, if you want Track 35, The Symphony of Elemen, please be patient, as the FTP is still being difficult, and that is the last one to get up there.

Well, as you have heard from me at the chat yesterday, I've played Arcana/Cardmaster, and have the OST in SPC format, and even beaten it (if anything, I'm probably the only guy you personally know, who's actually done so).

Though I will admit that it was a bit on the hard side (especially the fact that if ANY of your human comrades (not the spirits, mind you) lose all their HP, its game over, no matter what. Oh, and the enemies do quite a bit of damage, even with the best armor available equipped at the current chapter, and the spirits don't really do a lotta damage [especially against bosses], but they can do some damage, nonetheless, and also make good supporters, with their healing & stat-up spells.), and also a little repetitive (which definitely kicked in for me by the 4th chapter or so).

Anyways, even with all that stuuf I said up there, I kinda did like the game, but then again, I kinda like hard games, anyways. And of course, the Arcana OST is indeed awesome. I even had some of the tunes playing, while I read your awesome novellette, What A Waste, and found said tunes to be oddly fitting, some how. XD

I reckon the next game you're going to rip the OST in MP3 format is gonna be Alcahest, isn't it? XD

That\\\'s right Yooji. Alcahest should be the next on the list, but I kinda jumped around a bit anyway. Then should come Shigesato Itoi\\\'s No. 1 Bass Fishing (by Tadashi Ikegami), and I think Hercules\\\' Glory IV (by Shogo Sakai). I\\\'m still kinda wrestling with the idea of putting MOTHER3 up there as well, since it was done by Shogo Sakai (who gave us most of Kirby Air Ride, and some of the new tracks from the Kirby\\\'s Adventure GBA port), but the problem is... That one soundtrack is so large, maybe we should just link to Starmen.net? ... But that won\\\'t work since they are still in \\\"hush, hush\\\" spoiler mode over MOTHER3. And that won\\\'t be gone for a while.

Alcahest\\\'s soundtrack isn\\\'t as great as Arcana\\\'s OST, but I found the game itself to be a bit more fun. ... Shame the only ROM Translation of it didn\\\'t translate the Password System correctly.
