1/1/19 Spizzerinctum (n.)- there's, like, at least two words I could pull out of this one to make a definition with, but both of them are bad ideas

12/28/18 Thaumaturgy (n.)- a pretty neat cantrip in D&D, actually

wouldn't have been able to say that a few months ago

I've been hearing enough praise for Octopath Traveler as-is, but seeing you praise it just gives me more reasons to play it that I've been ignoring. I don't dislike JRPG's, but I've never found myself particularly drawn to, say, Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger or the Bravely games, but I get the feeling that I really need to play Octopath at this point.

BEST GRAPHICS

Spoiler

Octopath Traveler

For the first time in the history of these yearly reviews, I actually have a pick for Best Graphics. It's usually an unspoken rule that I leave the category blank and don't explain why, but Square-Enix's Octopath Traveler absolutely dazzled me with its detailed sprite work, pop-up book dioramas, and mesmerizing blur and shading effects. The JRPG stuff in Octopath isn't as revolutionary as other games out there, but the visuals send this game into another orbit. In fact, it's so much an integral part of the experience that I would go so far as to say that the game wouldn't have sold nearly as well without the unique visual hook. I hope to see more of this style in the future.

WHAT IS THIS SORCERY

I'd throw Mega Man 11 into the list of Best Unplayed Game of 2018 honorable mentions, personally (I mean, personally I played it, but assuming you didn't I'd throw it in there). It simultaneously trims things down to good ol' basic running and gunning (and sliding) while also adding the Double Gear mechanic that streamlines the game for beginners and allows fun new options on how to tackle stages. I love how much detail you put into these little yearly reviews so I hope you continue doing this in the future!

Hi there, welcome to the forums!
If your sheet has already been formatted to comply with the Formatting Guidelines (which is required) and you're confident in its quality and playability, use the NSM Panel button just under your user info at the top of the page to submit your files. You'll need a .mus file made in Finale, and a .midi and .pdf file generated from that .mus file. If you'd like some additional critiquing first, go ahead and make a personal arrangement thread for yourself in the Piano Arrangements board and post links to your sheets there for people to see. Hopefully everything makes sense!

Libera you only have time to reply to simple and stupid arrangements?

I really shouldn't have to say this, but that's a really rude way to request feedback from anyone, especially when it hasn't even been a week since your last reply.
On top of that, you don't need a specific Updater's input to make improvements to your sheets. We have eight other Updaters on staff and a whole host of other users and all of their critiques are equally valid. Please watch your attitude in the future; this isn't the first time you've had problems with either a lack of input or taking input from someone you don't want to.
