Video Essay: How GUST Creates a Distinct Sonic Brand Zooz Plays 2016-12-29 | Check out this video essay I made for a university project, where I discuss the many ways in which Gust (a Japanese games developer) create their own distinct, recognisable sonic brand. You might know them for the Atelier series, Ar Tonelico and Nights of Azure. Their soundtracks always stand out for me, so it was interesting to think about WHY they have that effect.I had to cut quite a lot, due to the strict time limit we were given, so some parts may seem a tad rushed. I was going to talk a lot more about music in each individual series, their short catchy jingles/SFX (for key items, locations, etc), as well as more examples of choral vocals being scattered throughout games (Atelier Ayesha) and how more recurring characters make an appearance (Wilbell the Witch, etc).Further reading:"The Mind Behind Ar noSurge" by Matt S for Digitally Downloaded: http://www.digitallydownloaded.net/2014/07/interview-mind-behind-ar-nosurge-part-1.htmlAtelier Sophie OST Review: http://www.rpgfan.com/soundtracks/ateliersophie-ostAr Tonelico 2 OST Review: http://www.vgmonline.net/artonelico2(And all the references mentioned in the video essay.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus (Exploration Gameplay) Zooz Plays 2022-02-07 | I'm really enjoying this game. So fun and addictive. A huge breath of fresh air for the series.
Summon Night (PSX) - Prologue (ENGLISH SUBS) Zooz Plays 2022-01-21 | DISCLAIMER: This was done purely for Japanese practise. I am NOT a professional translator, or 100% fluent in Japanese, so please take this with a pinch of salt. I used a mixture of my own knowledge, Google Translate (to read some difficult kanji), DeepL and a dictionary.I have ALWAYS loved this series and lamented the fact that we never got the first 4 mainline games in the West. Even though translation projects have been started in the past, for some reason they never went anywhere. The series has a unique mix of turn-based strategy, visual novel story scenes and "night chats" (bonding with your party members, in a "dating sim" style). If you enjoyed this, I strongly urge you to buy Summon Night 5 and 6, both available on PSN for PSP/PS Vita! You'll be confused by a couple returning character cameos, but other than that, they're super fun, addictive and cute games!

Atelier Sophie - DLC Dungeon BGM (Day) Zooz Plays 2017-06-10 | I was surprised at how beautiful the music was in the DLC dungeon area of Atelier Sophie. Couldn't find it anywhere online, and it's not a part of the official OST either, so I recorded it in-game myself. (Sooo technically, this is a gameplay recording xD) There were two versions (day and night); the 'night version is a bit more low-key.Night version: youtube.com/watch?v=Dl1RsJOxFy8I really enjoyed beating Atelier Sophie. The story and characters are pretty low-key and underwhelming compared to previous games in the series, but it's just really addictive and fun to play regardless. I urge anyone to grab a copy of it if they can, or Atelier Firis (the sequel).P.s. All copyrights reserved by GUST and Koei Tecmo. Obviously I won't monetise this video.
