Assume you're referring to the original Europe / Japan version soundtrack, in which case, definitely yeah.

Various elements evoking "Pacific" seem to be scattered across a bunch of the tracks; sometimes with the instrument sounds, sometimes the chords. There's one particular track which played on the unlocked DA sound test screen (Little Planet tune, I think?) which I always thought sounded like an obvious nod to Pacific's chord sound right from the get go - they even put chirping bird noises in!

I find that video kind of adorable. It reminds me so much of the videos me and my friends made 20 years ago. Or actually even the ones we made 3 years ago haha.

I miss the old quiet Twoism, I am so confused by the 90 page plus threads in the BoC section.

Where are all the Twoism regulars? You're all buried within the confusion/hubbub.

It'll quiet down in a bit probably. Hope I'm not causing any problems. I like it here :)

In random news, I bought the cutest butternut squash tonight and I'd almost rather make it a wee hat than eat it.
