Rising Star Weekly Giveaway #155 and Sunshine Coastline

Here is my weekly status and giveaway. As usual, I am just doing some missions at night because I am busy during the day. I was able to do some missions during the day during the week but not as often as I would like. It's been quite busy as I start getting back to work. Please make sure to read the rules to qualify for the giveaway.

Sunshine Coastline

Sunshine Coastline is an OST that plays in Ys 8 when you first land on the cursed Isle of Seiren after being shipwrecked. It's one of the best tracks that I like from Ys 8 because it signifies the start of their adventure. Ys 8 is a great game and it continues with the party system so you control more than just Adol on his adventure and I enjoyed playing the game. From Ys 8, I think this is the best track from that game and that is why I love it. If I was going to the beach, I think this track would also fit very well.

Isle of Seiren is the place where Ys 8 takes place and I think it's a pretty in-depth place for being just an island. You get to fight dinosaurs and a bunch of different things. In the picture, you can see the ruins of Eternian kingdom. What happens in the past plays a key part in understanding the mysteries that happen and how they ultimately escape the island. The images show the southern side and north side of the island and I got them from the wiki page for Seiren.

Here is an arranged version of the same track under the ultimate soundtrack album. I think it's good but I honestly prefer the original version more. After thinking it through a bit, I think this fits more as a nighttime track so I agree with the other people in the comment section of this video.

Besides this, there is another arranged version. This is a more calming version of the track as opposed to the previous two. I like it and the sax really fits well to the track.

Do you like any of these tracks? If so, why?

Tips (source)

I think the tips are something every new player should know about. It will help people progress in the game and it hasn't really been shared since surya1adiga stopped his giveaways.

Take music lessons when possible to raise skill and reduce ego.
Having lesson specific instruments helps in receiving more skill from that lesson.
Have pizza box to store any pizza received during mission to reuse later.
Buy cold pizza slice if possible. This gives 1 refill every 24hours. Comes very handy when you are low on energy.
If you have enough of cold pizza slice and pizza box, you will never run out of energy.
If you have more fans than skill and you won't reduce the ego , you can use a storage trailer to store unnecessary cards. Or you can list the card in market for an unreasonably high price.
Ego received for a particular mission increases every time you play it. The ego is reset to base level the next day. So, try to play different missions to control the ego gained.
~~Keep track of your achievements to unlock in game rewards~~
Buy storage trailer (only if necessary) to keep the cards that might have a negative effect. Like a card with high fan count resulting in ego.
When earning skill points through music lessons, you can earn more points per lesson if you hold more of specific instrument cards. There seems to be base skill which is rewarded irrespective of the card count and then the skill increases depending on the number of the lesson specific card one has.
Try taking up many smaller missions to fill up pizza boxes and have extra energy to play more rewarding missions. But you need to have pizza boxes for this to work.
