undertale 6th anniversary so we play deltarune chapter 1

for some reason


e: it occurs to me that undertale's birthday will be rolling around again in a few days, wonder if we'll get a status update or treat

We've gotten status updates the last two Septembers so I expect we'll get one of those if nothing else.

I think it's faster to list things involving Papyrus that aren't great. Here's what I've got so far:

  • His presence in Deltarune amounts only to empty promises and a faint and fading trousling of bones.*

*subject to change when his eventual appearance retroactively makes it worth the wait

Not only that, but the crew behind it was all good too so you don't even have to feel guilty about playing it like FNAF.

As someone with no noteworthy achievements, it's very impressive to look at his resume. Made Undertale, got it sent to the pope by a fan, had an orchestrated version performed, worked with Camellia and Hololive, battles Sakurai in Smash, got Sans in Smash as well, does composition for Pokemon, man's doing good poo poo.

Few more successes like that and he might be able to buy a house in New York!

Didn't he make a tweet shortly after Undertale's original release to the effect of his mom telling him to get a real job now that his little project was finished? Wonder what she thinks now.

I know I'm biased literally posting in the Undertale thread, but I think Undertale has the best soundtrack of any game of all time. I had a discussion recently with someone where they said FFXIV has the best OST of all time, and while it's certainly up there and I love it, every single track in Undertale is a banger (or an emotional banger). Toby Fox has something special in him when it comes to music

Toby fox is a guy who made the song "long elevator", which still has more emotional depth then some other games

The only game I think comes close on the all-banger front was Chrono Trigger, and making that required one of the top 10 game musicians of the time working himself so hard he was bed ridden and one of the other legends of the time taking over.

one criticism i have of the ost is that Reunited gets way too bombastic for a song that can be looping for 30-45 minutes if you go talk to everyone

Not to derail too far, but I agree with you wholeheartedly and I feel bad saying that the Epoch theme is (imo) the weakest tune in the whole soundtrack.

My only problem with the Undertale soundtrack is that I had to go in and manually combine Your Best Nightmare and Finale so that I could get appropriate resolution when shuffling!

The soundtrack is pretty good but could use a few more vocal tracks imho.

Maybe he could do a collaboration with Daisuke.

So this just kinda got glossed over, but I haven't heard anything about this, and my nephew is about the age that he's starting to get interested in it. Is there something that I should know?

The Undertale OST is a masterpiece but I still would give the best OST award to FFVII or Chrono Trigger.

That's not undermining anything about Toby though, he's incredible and I've never seen someone with such a mastery of leitmotif as he has.

Ahh, gotcha. Yeah, not really a big fan of that myself, and I know my brother isn't either, so I'll let him know before he goes out and buys anything FNAF-related. Thanks for the heads-up.

I've posted it before but this showcase on leitmotif usage in undertale really underscores just how amazing it is. genuinely one of the best soundtracks, if not the best soundtrack, for a video game, ever.
