Developer Appreciation: To the Moon / Fear not this Night

This elegant RPG Maker game is fantastically crafted and is my answer to last weeks prompts from Belghast of "a game that made you cry" and End Game Viables "favourite or most engrossing story delivered through a game". It helps that the music for it is also amazing, and I've actually semi-learned "Everything's Alright" by Laura Shigihara on piano with voice. Can't replicate her talent or tone though.

On the topic of pieces from games, "Fear not this Night" from Guildwars 2 is also amazing, especially since you get to listen to the whole thing in game after beating Zhaitan. It's another one I've semi-learned though there's no way I can reach the key change near the end (after already octaving it down), so I just skip it. As a friend once said, you know I really like something when I start learning the music for it!

It plays soon after this part. :P

  1. I had Fear Not This Night on repeat for months. Loved the song so much.

  2. Still haven't gotten to beating Zhaitan yet. I'm somewhere on Orr right now, though, so I'm getting closer.

    1. And so I'm looking forward to hearing this in it's entirety. (Sorry, multitasking right now.)

    3. Maaaybe. Thieves are squishy on GW2, more so than they ever were in WoW (except starting Mists with some mid-range Cata PvP gear, not something I'd recommend).
