Under the Influance

Description

I found it extremely difficult to map out what it is that inspires me. But here's my best guess...

1. The Tales of series: The first JRPGs I remember playing, Yes before Final Fantasy! The mixture of the music, art, characters, stories, battle system, etc. It all makes Tales of an excellent video game franchise!
2. Soul Calibur: Ahh! The eternal struggle between Soul Edge and Soul Calibur! Lovely graphics and musical scores; plus the fact that no one can have their happy ending no matter how many times the chase after the fabled sword. Also, so much love goes out to Voldo, Lizardman, and Charade. They're my faves! :D
3. Shin Magami Tensei- Persona: This series has come a long way from where it started; We all know about Persona 3, in which the characters become "an hero" to summon their hidden power. But I just have to love P4 more; And I can't name merely a few reasons why!
4. The Disgaea series: Thank you Nippon Ichi! Yet another reason to not leave the house! I cannot say no to a game where evil is good and good is evil. The art style rocks my socks off; and the battle engine simply blows me away! (I also always make teammates named after the people I know and make a side story out of it!)
5. .Hack//G.U.: I had known about .hack before, (.hack//sign) and it was an intresting concept; a MMORPG that took place in virtual reality. Everyone would love that! Except for when the game starts to glitch up. But G.U. blew me away with it's athenticity, side quests, and of course, it's art/designs.
6. Baten Kaitos: One of the most original and beautiful JRPGs I've ever played! It would be too difficult to discribe every aspect of the game that makes it great. So I'll tell you the best part in my opinion; The Soundtrack!
7. Square Enix: Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Star Ocean; they must be doing something right! :love: I also will mention these two artists here- Tetsuya Nomura & Yoshitaka Amano. Nomura with his wonderful concepts; and Amano with all his wispy yet complex paintings. One day, I wish to be able to create works of art that rival their's!
8. Music: As Home Made Kazoku have sung,"Everybody needs some music" I refuse to write a list of musicians/bands and songs I enjoy, since I do that enough already.
9. Quality Anime: and I really mean "quality"! If you don't know what anime I'm referring to, then you're probably not watching the right ones.
10. Adult Cartoons: Such as- Venture Bros., Archer, South Park, American Dad, The Boondocks, onandonandon... Each is like a breath of fresh air!
11. Mythology: I don't know, its all so facinating. I have a book of all mythologies that I glance through once in awhile. The Gods should have had a reality show.
12. CARTOONS!: Primarily from the 90s. As I've said before my whole childhood was spent infront of a TV. The pictures pretty much sum it up. By the way, those two glorious images where done by ~ssgba1380 and *lastscionz, respectively.
13. Miyazaki: Do I have to explain myself for this one? I didn't think so.
14. Miyamoto: see "Miyazaki".
15. Pocket Monsters: After awhile it just was too much; but at first I was like, :la:
16. Books: Duh Harry Potter! Also, anything by Stephen King. Especially The Dark Tower!
17. Pixar: They don't dissapoint, No matter what! The Toy Stories, Wall-E, and Ratatouille are among my favorites.
18. Deviant-Artists: This place is a huge inspiration! People from around the world collide to exhibit there work, share thoughts and ideas, and to meet others like them; not to mention to hone their skills! I, myself, started out following `Endling, *justflyakite, and ~johnsue. Now I watch over 100 very different artists!

Well, that was fun! Now maybe I can get some work done.
