So you're only ripping backgrounds? Or am I misunderstanding?

I'm doing the backgrounds first, but I've already ripped a few enemy sets + Cornet's fourth outfit (WIP). This is what I've got so far, too bad there is no accurate monster list on the internet:

I will also do all the dolls and put them on a single sheet, but at the moment I'm more interested in Star Ocean 2. This one is probably the easiest rippable game for PSX.
All uploaded! Looking forward to seeing more stuff, this game is depressingly under rated.
Tsunami Bomb - The Simple Truth
We could run away
Leave behind anything paper
Not knowing where we're going to stay
When there's no Mondays
You're part of me, it's so easy to see the simple truth
When I'm in your arms, I feel safe from harm and sorrow too
You're part of me, it's so easy to see the simple truth
But most of all, nothing couldn't be solved when I'm with you

Too bad the DS version got shitty rushed translation and the original release is mostly unknown. I mean, it was almost like playing a Disney RPG, with all this music

The PSX translation was perfect, why did they do that? Btw, the DS version has worse graphics and crashes at some points in the game (Ice Temple Grave & Snow Herb).

There are also two pirate ships left, but first I'm doing Frogburg Castle and the rest of Mothergreen Castle.

And they didn't had the music translated. I think it was pretty good at the time and for that small budget hey had (seemed to be a small-budget translation)
I read they WEREN'T going to bring Rhapsody DS to US, but the fans started flooding their e-mail and they went all "heck, why not?"
Those are the initial areas, right? Backwards job

Last background sheet: Beauty Castle. Maybe I'm doing the two basic dungeons too, but I'm really not sure.

Why you don't just put all the dungeons tiles in one big sheet or something? They ARE so much alike +_+

The dungeons' recolours are not in the VRAM, it's simple screentone which doesn't affect the character sprites.
I guess three sheets are ok -> Generic Cave, Generic Tower/Temple & Beauty Castle with its unique dungeon design.

Luckily, there was a complete low-quality rip on vgmapper. Therefore I'm sure these are all of the rooms.

The final boss:

Can't find the SFX for his nozzles, if anyone thinks he has more luck:

The SFX for his attacks are all on 64/499, btw.
