With the recent release of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, it seemed like a perfect time to look back at some of my favorite songs from the previous online Fantasy: XI. I'm a little under the weather, so I let the music do the talking for me, and close things out with a couple tracks from A Realm Reborn. If you have fond memories of FF XI, you may want to check out the Nerds Without Special I did earlier in the year, which features a ton more of the game's soundtrack, as well as some fun and touching stories. Enjoy, and I realize the bagpipes in the San d'Oria theme can be a tad grating on the ears, but what can I say? It's home to me.

I'll admit that I'm relatively new to rock music, as I was raised on the music of the '40s, '50s, and '60s, but in recent years I've really learned to rock out. So I wanted to share some of that love to you, the listeners. Unfortunately, I couldn't fill a brandy glass with nothing but brown M&Ms, so Ozzy didn't go on. Sorry about that.

If you've got any nostalgia for the game, any love for the series, if you're a fan of Uemastu or if you even like good music in general, you really owe it to yourself to check it out. Now, of course, I've got a 30 minute show here, so you're not going to hear the entire album. What I've done instead is try to give you a pretty good sample of what to expect. Naturally, there's much much more on the actual product, including work from many more artists reflecting quite a few different styles of music. You can grab it for free from their site, and again, I highly recommend it. Tracklist:  00:13 - Prologue - Bustatunez 06:35 - A Fistfull of Nickles - zircon, XPRTNovice, Jillian Aversa, Jeff Ball 10:48 - Gobble, Snarf, Snap - XPRTNovice 14:57 - A Simple Coin Flip Can Change Fate - Level 99 20:44 - The Impresario - Jake Kaufman, Tommy Pedrini 29:31 - Till We Meet Again - zircon, Jillian Aversa, AeroZ Sun, 01 Sep 2013 18:00:00 EDT Recently I heard a new fan project by the fine folks over at OverClocked Remix. it's a 4 disk set of music inspired by (read: covers of music from) Final Fantasy VI.

There's music from portable games, RPG's and even some retro stuff. Check it out! I do have a couple of things I want to let you know about; First, my headset is still messy from when Shodan broke it during Backloggers Anonymous: System Shock 2. I was able to soldier on, but after 4 attempts to record one section, I was forced to leave in some microphone popping. I'm very sorry about this, but I do have a replacement already on it's way, so hopefully this will be the last time you have to deal with it. Second, I tried to explain how the last 4 musical tracks work as best I could in the podcast, but if you need more, here's a video of a random encounter from Resonance of Fate / End of Eternity. Notice how the music switches back and forth between the heavier, more complex stuff and the simpler, low quality sounding music (yes, the low fidelity sound is intentional. I own the game. I thought it was a nice touch.) Anyway, check it out!

I guess once you've been bitten by the podcasting bug you feel this need to create interesting and entertaining shows, and with that in mind, I decided to spearhead Sound in Action: PixlBit's gaming music podcast! We plan to bring this show to you every Sunday, with a rotating cast of hosts. The show will usually be built around a theme, with around 5 or so excellent musical pieces from the world of video games. For this first episode, I chose games that I loved to have running in the background at my independent video game store, Gamefellas. Enjoy this first episode, and you can contact myself or Angelo, my co-editor for requests and theme ideas. I can be reached at julian@pixlbit.com and Angelo at angelo@pixlbit.com.
