I meant no offense, but I was under the impression that the series has always been geared toward younger gamers. That said, I get what you're saying, but I've heard people say "broze" in place of "brothers" when a game title uses the abbreviation "bros." since we were on the playground in the 80s and early 90s discussing the Super Mario games. I think that most educated people understand that "bros." is an abbreviation, but surely there are some who mistakenly read it verbatim.Quote:

Super Smash Brehs
Well, it is called Smash Bros (or Broze) if you prefer, it kinda rolls off the tongue better.
In the UK, people use the alternate titles Smash Bruvs or Smash Fam.
Yeah just kidding, although if Nintendo wanna hip with the kids they should call the next one #SuperOnFleekSmashSquad. Hashtag and all.
Now I wish there was a game called Smash Bruvs full of classic UK-made characters like Armakuni (Last Ninja), Drax (Barbarian), Aarbron (Shadow of the Beast), the IK fighters, Lazy Jones, Jet Set Willy, Lemmings, the Super Pipeline dudes, Headus and Footus (Head Over Heels), etc..
They updated it with the new version. It's the same sound now.Quote:

FFIX came out recently. FFX/X2 HD Remaster comes to Steam in 2 days. Lunar was in the SteamDB leak.
Praise Gaben. Playstation is becoming irrelevant.
Lunar? Wonder if it's a straight port/emulation release, or if it's being enhanced somehow.Quote:

There is a fan made mod that basically ignores the MIDI output and plays MP3s of the PS1 soundtrack, but it can be a bit odd to install from what I remember.
Grandia was with Lunar.

Grandia 2 on Steam was actually a new port from Dreamcast, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the PSP verison of Lunar Silver Star Harmony released, despite the old Japanese Windows version.
It depends on how lazy the developer is. Though I wouldn't be surprised if they go for the Japanese PC version since it would have better quality FMVs. Grandia II was such a mess on PC and PS2 originally that they probably felt it was necessary to report it.Quote:
