Message: [QUOTE="TamagotchiTamaHero24, post: 181445, member: 215120"] I guess I’m just a bit of a young’n, blessed with the discoverability of the internet and the hard work of fans before me who archived and created so much around the series. But, from my perspective… This is Sonic: [MEDIA=youtube]qYJkol00JCE[/MEDIA] As much as THIS is Sonic… [MEDIA=youtube]aOs7v6DJlAg[/MEDIA] As much as THIS is Sonic… [MEDIA=youtube]_SBKj5ofGVw[/MEDIA] As much as THIS is Sonic… [MEDIA=youtube]CapHFpwf-sc[/MEDIA] As much as THIS is Sonic… [MEDIA=youtube]SS9gGnFQ-Ig[/MEDIA] For me, Sonic music is good music. It can be any genre. As long as it has a defined musical component that isn’t just background noise, it’s Sonic music. Oh, and as long as it’s amazing. That’s the most important part. [automerge]1745432216[/automerge] Eh. I guess Sonic is just different like that. With my modern eyes, I think comparing these two characters is fruitless because they’re so wildly different and appeal to often the same set of people but for totally different reasons. Sonic’s design is malleable. Ever changing. That’s what’s so neat: there’s a Sonic for everyone! I can tell you that “my Sonic” is a particular plush I had of the character I had as a child that looked a little off, and it wouldn’t be any less valid than you claiming a specific game design. This series is at its worst, frankly, when it feels tied to tradition (reused stages, stale design, imitating other games from both its own series and other series, etc.) Where it shines is when it decides to just do something fun and cool, regardless of if it’s been done before, regardless of if people click with it, regardless of if it even makes a lick of sense. Sonic is Sonic. And I don’t want it to be anything else than itself. (That said, please change the modern design. It’s been 18 years. The people are tired of the weirdly metallic shoes that are also mad dirty for some reason.) [/QUOTE]
