Xavier Dang!

This song is super chill and has a nice full, wet, slick sound! Gotta love that bass. I like how laid back this song is, it can grab your attention but it doesn't demand either.

ALSO this is mv week because he has just had a song posted for SNESology

Final Fantasy VI + Game of Thrones ftw!

At first I was like "deng it's long ya right I'm gonna listen to the whole thing, and I'm not even familiar with the source track" .. but then I listened and listened some more and then I heard a nice significant change in the ambience and drums and I looked at the vid and it was already past 5 minutes! Apologies for the run-on sentence ..

Then I accidentally clicked out of the youtube preview tab so I quickly remedied it by downloading. Nice mix yo.

Oh my goodness this is too good. I love FFXI and I love chillout / ambient music. This is some absolutely exceptional work, I am in love with this track, its absolutely my kind of remix.

...as an administrator/bureaucrat on a rather active fanfiction wiki, and a regular MMO player, I disagree with the statement that DJP put forward. It's all about the amount of time and money you are willing to invest in the game in question. Granted, I'm not the sole and primary admin on the wiki in question, there's three of us, although as the longest-active, I get the big decisions, and this is in comparison to DJP, the founder of a site of a similar magnitude. (the wiki has ...well, nine thousand and eight hundred pages between roughly two hundred active users. Not comparing it to here, I'm jus' sayin.) Hence why I only really play MMOs when school allows, not having a job and all...

Anywho, onto the mix! I love it. It's the sort of music you can work/write/play to, without once really being distracted by the outside world. As I listen, I don't even think I'm truly paying attention, I'm just feeling and experiencing the world he's created through music.

This is the first time in years I've felt like I HAD to burn a new OCR cd because of one track.

I'll admit, I'm not a fan of FFXI's soundtrack - I didn't find any track memorable, although I'm sure those who have played & still play FFXI extensively probably will appreciate the track on a deeper level than I am able to.

That said, mv does a great job providing a chill mix here, laid back and with more of an ambient nature to it. I find the lead synth is an interesting choice, with its soft nature & yet it stands out apart from the rest of the instrumentation for me, which is also a mix of organic and mechanical instrumentation. The song transitions beautifully from the mechanical instrumentation having a prominent part to primarily featuring the strings, piano, and choir, emphasizing a trance-like element to the song.

This song displays some excellent nuances throughout, and I highly recommend it!

New Fav! Yay!

I have to say. Just last night I was listening to Heaven's Tower for the sole purpose of relaxing after a few stressful days. Then today I check OCR to find this waiting for me. mv you just made my week 10 times better.

@Bahamut you're more right than you probably know. It's expected that people who have played a game before are going to appreciate it's soundtrack, source or remix, a lot more. But FFXI wasn't your typical MMO. I can't say too much about how the game feels these days... but back when I played it the game had a very unique feel to it.

You could spend your time focused on leveling to cap, but that wasn't the focus at all. The world was huge, and there was an endless amount of content. People played the game religiously for 5+ years and still found things to do.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that FFXI wad designed to compliment any pace for any player, and for a lot of them, sitting down in your favorite zones listening to the music was a past time. The soundtrack was pretty much composed around every zone to make them more unique. i.e. Gustaburg had an arid desert theme going. I can only give proper credit where it is due, to Kumi
Tanioka for helping make FFXI unforgettable.
