Have you heard of the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV? The game includes an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 for free with no restrictions on playtime!

Sounds great, however, this isn’t a review about that game - but rather a different fantasy from Yoshi-P and the team that brought you it.

That’s right - your Save Room boys are back and we’re doing a deep dive review on the Final Fantasy XVI. The latest entry in the 37 year franchise from Yoshi-P and CBUIII has spurned many debates: is it a real Final Fantasy; is the writing and portrayal of women good; does Clive fuck? 

It will be a contentious title but we find plenty to love between the bombastic cinematics and fights, deep character work, story, and DMC-style action combat. Unfortunately though, you can’t take the MMO out of Yoshi-P, so there are side quests and pacing issues we found abound as a result.

Regardless, this is a must-play title and one that will be in many Game of the Year talks. Still a skeptic? Well then, just press play to accept the truth, Mythos.

Ben Starr on Final Fantasy 16 Rising Tide, Theater & Being Clive | Playing With Purpose Podcast Ep 2

i've been wanting to do a cover of this one in the FF9 soundfont for a while

FINAL FANTASY XVI - Histoire ~ The Holy Empire of Sanbreque (FF9 Soundfont)

In an era of peace, light shines a golden hope across the horizon. The people thrive. The children laugh, and play—exactly as they should. The artists paint—precisely how and when they need to, and their art coincides and works in conjunction with what older civilizations would call Magic as a result of this flexibility and fluidity they've been finally able to reclaim. The word Freedom has become sacred. This sacred Word is defended by All with the burning fury of molten lava. Creativity has developed in the minds of the people so deeply that every challenge has a thousand solutions and every solution has a thousand unique, grand perspectives to the common citizen. Everything—even the small and simple things—are accomplished with Divine Godliness by Everyone. It took ten thousand years to get here...

Despite the fact that Nothing in this world is permanent—even peace—the people Think as if they've discovered the secret to Eternal Heaven on Earth. This is their downfall. To Stay Connected to the fact that "Evil" always thrives somewhere in the Dimension in which they inhabit is a necessary part of overcoming it. By becoming out of touch with this Truth, the people create an opening for "Evil" to once again reign supreme. Becoming out of touch with this Truth—this is their One True Mistake.
What awaits the people as a result of their Great Mental Mishap is tragedy, the disturbing energy of which slowly looms in each heart and soul in the dead of night, or rather, a series of nights; many years pass before every being, including animal can sense this tragedy.
When the people come to terms with this feeling, it strikes them like a blade that cuts into the heart slowly. As the people voice and express their feeling of dread and despair with one another, a darkness begins to overtake the skies. This darkness is a reflection of the people's subconscious minds; the areas they neglected, and therefore kept in the dark. As this darkness that began in the people's minds fills the skies, the Cold Truth whispers to them like a harsh and cold, freezing wind that numbs and disables: Tragedy Awaits... Once again.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Remember how I said I've been wanting to make music for video games? What I wrote above is a fictional scenario I created for this song (Tragedy Awaits) that I feel could take place in a game like the Final Fantasy series. The writing and scenario I created matches the tone and vibe of the song and I feel could take place in the part of the game where everyone is looking around them in angst, feeling like something terrible is about to happen.

I converted this to 432 Hz in a DAW this time around instead of an online converter and used professional plug ins and software to make this song.
I would consider the genre for this to be Minimalism and I mastered the song so it could kind of match the vibes of MJ's HIStory album; think Earth Song, Stranger in Moscow, Little Susie, She's Out of My Life, etc. This is a simple song, but that was my goal. I feel like if I can master making simple songs sound really good and professional, then I'll have more of the means to do this with more complex bodies of work with ease.
