The Epic of Zektbach - Page 7

Sounds like Star Wars sequels to me.
Zektbach (Tomusuke) sure did have a lot of time to think about the storyline and link his works with it.

Overall, it is very interesting.

Blackraven: The answer is Random. I don't like Apocalypse on any other mode.

Anyone know how to get the mp3 from the Zektbach's website??? I got the three first mp3s because somebody post the link to all those (the last twins, fragment & ouverture), I really love the "new arrengment" of Zeta & the "world Map" BGM

Well.........

Maybe I should've reworded that.

Well I guess what I should've said is that I can't consistently clear it without my gauge dropping to around 16%-20% at the end of the song.

Though to be honest...

I've only played that song twice in my entire life (one with random and one without).

Hmm......

So I guess, it's still to early to determine yet.

I guess I'd have to play it some more then (and perhaps get used to its 1-2-3 like runs).

Hehe guess I have to test it a little more though

Just in case anybody didn't notice, Chapter 3-1-1 was posted in the story section with a new Blind Justice arrangement, dubbed Novarista Castle (It's different than the other hidden tune).

Sounds really pretty.

Novarista Castle Awaits...

Damn,there are too many proper nouns within Chapter 1 and Chapter 3.I just can't write them in English as Zektbach didn't give us the romanized spellings.

RetroGamer01 · 09-24-2008, 10:04 PM

Another website update:

Niyoa Report 12 apparently talks something about a popularity contest for the fans' favorite chapters (Songs) and the characters in those chapters, and that they will post the results at a later date. Also from the sounds of things, there apparently is only one song per chapter as it is considered it's "theme."

Current top three according to the post is:

1) Blind Justice
2) Apocolypse
3) ZETA

Not quite sure how accurate this is (Damn Bablefish

), but if the whole "one song a chapter" thing is correct, then we are guarnteed at least two more songs aside from Turii to fill in the gaps between Ch. 4 and Ch. 8. Who knows if it ends with Ch. 8 though...

The real question now is where does Turii fit in? My money is on Ch. 6.

D.J.JSRF · 09-25-2008, 09:45 AM

Well,though my favourite song is Ristaccia.

Besides,I did remember that VJ MAYA said Chapter 0-4 is "the first half" of the story.

RetroGamer01 · 09-25-2008, 10:59 AM

Awesome! Thanks for clearing that up! It makes sense that it ends with Ch. 8 due to one of the verses being titled "Hannes' Reflection."

BTW, D.J.JSRF, thanks for your continued effort in trying to translate the story. I'm looking forward to hearing more of the story from you.

D.J.JSRF · 09-25-2008, 11:09 PM

My pleasure.

Well,for now,how many fragments of the Epic had been released?Let's check the official site and TOMOSUKE's blog over:

Chapter 0 <Prologue>

Chapter 1-1-1 <Her Name Is Shamshir>

Chapter 2-4-8 <The Awakening Genes>,2-5-4 <Ristaccia Ruins>

Chapter 3-1-1 <The Empress Matin>

Chapter 4-1-1 <??>,4-1-2 <The Abandoned Paradise>,4-1-4 <Revelation>

That's it.

Which fragment interests you most?

Metra · 09-26-2008, 09:41 AM

My favorite is... Uh... I like Ristaccia, Apocalypse ~memento mori~, Blind Justice and Shamshir no Mai equally.

I'd like to know more about the Ristaccia Ruins fragment or The Empress Matin. Matin (Do they pronunce it as Matan? I always said Mateen lol) and Lien are the most interesting characters IMO - I still need to know a bit more about Nox to start really liking him.

I couldn't resist.

As for my interests, I would really like to know more about Chapter 4 as Hannes' character is still a little too mysterious to me. What's her motivation? From watching the Ristaccia video, it looks like she is able to cause just as much destruction as Shamshir did in Chapter 1, but the question is is she also being controlled by the Ristaccia like Shamshir or is she just gifted with power? Or could it be something else?

Of course, I'm also interested in having the details from the other chapters fleshed out too.
