Sounds of Nostalgia: Threads of Fate
Do we need an excuse to play old games? Hell no! But sometimes music from OSTs can inspire us to try new ones or revisit past loves like dirty, secret affairs.
I’m jumping ahead to the memorable days of the first PlayStation console in this Monday’s Sounds of Nostalgia feature. The other day I popped in Threads of Fate (known as Dewprism over in Japan), which is probably one of my favorite PS1 games—and a highly underrated one at that. I had forgotten how much great music Threads of Fate has, like “To the Ultimate Relic.” Not to mention loads of hilarity that makes me wonder what kind of magic (Green? Red?) voice-acting would cast on this game if it premiered in today’s next-gen world.
I’m holding my tongue (err … typing fingers) for now, because I might have more brewing about both Threads of Fate and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link in due time, so watch the blog for a special update soon. In the meantime, go hunt down Threads of Fate. You might be pleasantly surprised by how much fun it is.
P.I.N.T.O.! (Shhhh.)
What are some of your favorite Sounds of Nostalgia?
