I played FFXI for 2 years and can relate with battling despair at dawn, usually from a lack of sleep. I like the crisp clean cymbals and overall clear production quality. Very impressive piece.
Sanctuary of Zitah is such an awesome track. I've made a couple attempts at remixing it but none that got finished. If I manage to finish something I'll post it here.
