So, been REALLY digging the ReBoot remaster project. The quality while still a little pixel-y certain areas, looks amazing and honestly makes me wish I could see it on the biggest screen imagable. So yeah, my question to any of the Rewind guys reading this: How possible is it for a re-release of Daemon Rising in theaters?

I love the movie and legit consider it the true finale. And honestly, with the way a lot of independent or lower scale projects are getting into theaters, I can see this happening. Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie, for example, was made on a 2 million budget and made 5 million in theaters. With Daemon Rising, the film's already made, has pretty good production values for a TV movie, and a built-in fanbase. There's no way you can't at least turn some kind of profit. Sure, you would probably need to record some new things, like maybe a narrated recap of the series to that point, maybe have the original voice actors come back do the narration, etc. Or hell, could even have the program jockeys from YTV return to record a little introduction to the film.

NGL, growing up, I always thought it was called "PHANTasy Star Online" cuz it was big... Like an elePHANT. Of course, content wise the game only has eight levels on Gamecube, so it's bigness comes more from the amount of side quests and rare items to do/get. Still, always felt big to me and that's why I thought it was called that.

Then I found years later it was called to differentiate it from Final Fantasy, which makes sense. I just think the idea of them calling it that because it's big like an elephant to be funnier. Makes me also wish we had some elephant monsters in it too!

Something I've noticed about Episode 1 bosses in PSO is that they've always made some kind of return. Dark Falz is always getting new iterations or versions in each game (cuz he's basically ganon), Dragon got brought back in the Universe games as De Ragan before showing up in Portable 2 as himself, and De Rol Le got new iterations in the Portable games as well. However, the ONLY one who never made a come back was Vol Opt and that's frustrating to me.

Vol Opt was certainly the second easiest boss next to Dragon, but I always thought they were a cool addition to the game: This machine whose fight basically starts off like that "Big Brother is watching you" commercial before transitioning into a mech fight is dope. Say what you will about the lack of challenge, but they were always memorable.

Just sucks that we never saw Vol Opt again after Episode 1. Hell, in Episode 2 both Dragon and De Rol Le got knockoff clones yet Vol Opt gets nothing. Do Sega and Sonic Team just hate the poor robo guy or is his fight just REALLY hard to port into other stuff?
