The sound of Virus

[Slothy]

The fact that I remember off the top of my head what Virus sounded like shows it was a cool sound effect. I wouldn't have the same recollection for most sound effects played in games, that's for sure. It was definitely something special, and damn cool.

I always loved the virus sound! Funny how a lot of other folks here had similar 'childhood experiences' with this sound effect that I did. It sounds so vile and hideous!

I was even considering incorporating that sound into my death metal band... all a guitarist needs is a whammy pedal and a phaser and you can reproduce the virus sound effect very well.

Virus was one of those spells that took us by surprise and made us who we are. I know the sound was awesome, but the way the spell looked made it even more awesome. I mean, up to that point in our gaming lives, when had we seen a bunch of flashing green, screeching, oblong circle-like things completely surround your party member. No doubts, it was awesome. Awesome enough for a bunch of us old school kids to enjoy it in retrospect over the emergence of Sin et alia.

"BennennaanaaaNAAWOU", indeed! That was my favourite spell, along with Meteo. Just for the sound effects.

The sound effect when Rydia was summoning and those green orbs floated around her was awesome, too.

I LOVED that sound effect! I also liked how Excalibur sounded in the older version.

I liked the Flare spell too because it sounded kinda like popcorn.

While we're at it, the most disappointing part of FFVI Advance was that Ultima didn't make the cool "hummmmmmmmmmmwooshKACHING" anymore :aimcry:

Old thread. Sadness.
