The first track is so FF VI coded. Sounds so much like that game’s track.
I like it. I need to play Chained Echos one day.
>>724295405
Oh this one feels like longing for home!
If we’re doing more FF tracks, this one from X-2 makes me feel a type of way

1:00 is really good, gets you in the soul.
Another I like is the title menu theme for The Last Story

aight so you may not care about this story but I gotta tell it. I am a LARPfag. As in, actual live action roleplay. Used to run with a student group in uni. This was like 2011.

We met outside the campus chapel 'cause it was usually not in use and we could go inside to get organised if it was cold and rainy, and this being bongland it often was.

We finish a particularly emotionally heavy mission, lotta secrets coming out and player backstory impacting long term plot. LARP hits in a way tabletop just can't, everything being realtime really helps.

And we finish, we go to the chapel to kit off and get back to reality... and someone's sat in there playing the piano. What are they playing? To Zanarkand.

I think three people cried.

First MMO before all the late 90s/early 00s MMO's started to appear. I tried EQ but never stuck with it, Lineage/Myth of Soma and Legend of Mir were basically the same game but still enjoyable, WOW was about to release after that anyway.

Still one of the best openings for any vidya I've played. The tone of the music or instruments themselves may not be slow or melancholic, but to me it is very much of the same emotions and feelings.

They can't seem to make good music after DS1, sadly. DS3's various firelink shrine tracks are decent, but that's it.
