At Rhythm Encounter, we've created episodes around seasons in the past — Episode 6 was about summer, while Episode 23, Winter Warmer, was popular enough that we revisited winter in Episode 59. And yet, we've somehow never had episodes about spring or fall/autumn. Well, today we address one of those missing seasons, with four panelists and eight songs about springtime! Or rather, songs that we feel have a "spring feel," and in some cases, what some people who have never experienced "spring" imagine what its soundtrack should be. Our cast turned out to approach this fun topic from more directions than we knew going in, and it made for some great discussion about wonderful RPG music.Featuring: Mike Salbato, Gio Castillo, Audra Bowling, Tin Manuel; Edited by Jono LoganLinks for this episodeBambi - Little April ShowerTracklist0:09:14 - Dawn of Mana - opening theme (Ryuichi Sakamoto) - Dawn of Mana OST0:14:06 - Rainbow Butterfly Woods (Tomohito Nishiura) - Dark Cloud 2 OST0:34:42 - Gazing Over the Great Plain (Yasunori Nishiki) - Octopath Traveler OST0:38:00 - The Plain and the Sky ~Citro Plain BGM~ (Yoshino Aoki, Norikazu Miura, Masaharu Iwata, Kaori Komuro and Hiroaki Tomuno) - Suikoden Tierkreis OST0:51:15 - A Moment of Calm (Genso Suikoden Music Team) - Suikoden V OST0:54:18 - Spring (Wild Horseradish Jam) (ConcernedApe) - Stardew Valley OST1:15:36 - Have You Ever Seen Me?

I know I said in the previous episode that there would not be another Singing Mountain winter VGM episode. I lied. This episode — a two-hour, ”all music, no talk” collection of 16-bit winter VGM — originally went live December 21, 2020 on the Singing Mountain Patreon. It has not been available since I took down the Patreon page, but now it's posted for the public to enjoy. Now *this* is the finale installment of the winter VGM series.  As a thank you for everyone who has continued to support Singing Mountain in 2020, despite its lengthy hiatus, here is a special holiday gift: a two-hour "all music, no talk" megamix of every 16-bit example of winter VGM that I've ever played on the show.

Some of you bemoaned the loss of the Singing Mountain Patreon because it also meant the loss of the ”all music, no talk” versions of episodes that I sometimes posted there.

Welcome to our first ever Patron-requested episode! Our wonderful patron, Daryll "The Last Rican" Bowers, host of the VGM Fight Club podcast, has brought along a good friend, Pernell of the Rhythm and Pixels podcast! It's an extra-long podcast host extravaganza as we discuss a series that is very close to three of our hearts: Pokemon! Enjoy a diverse selection of tunes from three veterans and one noob (yours truly) as we explore a small part of the history of this world-famous, long-running franchise. The Last Rican has also brought along some quiz questions to try to stump Pernell and Shootkapow. See how many you can answer as you follow us on our journey through the various Pokemon regions! Thanks as always to our amazing patrons and the artists who made our show art and theme song. Special thanks to Naomi Rubin for our amazing new cover art!

A sequel of sorts to the “Lonesome Journeys” episode I did way back when, this episode is all about “sad travel music” — the kind of stuff you might associate with an RPG overworld, where the world is big and open and mysterious and you have to venture forth anyway. It's a little somber, it's a little hopeful, and it seems perfect for a late autumn day.  And if you haven't yet, also give a listen to my episode “The Overworld Mixtape,” which is nothing but RPG overworld themes — no talking!

In delayed celebration of the delayed release of the Turbografx16 mini / PC Engine mini / CoreGrafx mini, our rerun this month will not be one episode, but three - each part of our three part mini-series on the TG16 / PC Engine from September of last year, which was made in conjunction with Bryce Dumond of the Turbotastic Podcast (a fantastic TG16/PCE "game by game" pod). The only difference being that instead of running them parts 1, 2, and 3, we are running them part 3, 2, and 1. This was originally planned for March, and planned to have part 1's rerun date coincide with the release of the mini on it's original release date of 03/19/20 as something of a "grand finale". When COVID pushed back the system's release indefinitely, it scrubbed this rerun scheme along with it. When the system finally did launch last month, it was with insufficient head's up to allow for my mini-series rerun scheme to materialize. So, here in June is our first opportunity.

In delayed celebration of the delayed release of the Turbografx16 mini / PC Engine mini / CoreGrafx mini, our rerun this month will not be one episode, but three - each part of our three part mini-series on the TG16 / PC Engine from September of last year, which was made in conjunction with Bryce Dumond of the Turbotastic Podcast (a fantastic TG16/PCE "game by game" pod). The only difference being that instead of running them parts 1, 2, and 3, we are running them part 3, 2, and 1. This was originally planned for March, and planned to have part 1's rerun date coincide with the release of the mini on it's original release date of 03/19/20 as something of a "grand finale". When COVID pushed back the system's release indefinitely, it scrubbed this rerun scheme along with it. When the system finally did launch last month, it was with insufficient head's up to allow for my mini-series rerun scheme to materialize. So, here in June is our first opportunity. I hope you will accept / indulge the mulligan, enjoy the episodes if you've never heard them before...and enjoy them anew if you have.   Please note that due to the attached ear catcher at the beginning regarding Best of 2019, the time stamps in the track list will be off by a minute, minute and a half. Up against a deadline to put this down for a couple months, I did not have time to update the time stamps accordingly. They're still reasonably close, I suppose. :-)   Cheers!   01 - Intro - 00:00:00  02 - RyuuKyuu – Title Screen - Yasushi Kawasaki, and/or Hiroto Saitoh - 00:03:06  03 - Cross Wiber – Story Out - Hiroto Saitoh - 00:03:28  04 - Air Zonk – Opening - Daisuke Morshima and/or Hisashi Matsushita - 00:05:31  05 - Startling Odyssey II – Hamil's Lodge - Kenji Ikeda - 00:07:20  06 - Dungeon Explorer – Town - Tsukasa Masuko - 00:08:56  07 - Dragon Spirit – Stage 1 - Shinji Hosoe - 00:10:48  08 - Shockman - BGM 1 - Koji Hayama - 00:15:55  09 - Doraemon - Boss Battle - Maki Watanabe, Yoko Motoshuku, and/or Eiji Hasegawa - 00:19:05  10 - Metal Stoker – Floating Fortress (Stage 7) - Hiroto Saitoh - 00:20:48  11 - Dungeon Explorer – Dungeon 2 - Tsukasa Masuko - 00:22:49  12 - Psychosis – Stage 3 - Daisuke Morishima and/or Hisashi Matsushita - 00:24:38  13 - Jigoku Meguri – Stage 3 - Hisayoshi Ogura and/or Yasuhisa Watanabe - 00:25:51  14 - Vigilante – Level 2 - c: Masato Ishizaki / a: Unknown - 00:27:16  15 - Military Madness – Enemy's Victory - Jun Chikuma and/or Toshiaki Takimoto - 00:29:11  16 - Shockman – BGM 3 - Koji Hayama - 00:39:20  17 - Vigilante – Level 4 - c: Masato Ishizaki / a: Unknown - 00:33:04  18 - Legendary Axe II – Stage 6 - Tsukasa Masuko - 00:34:52  19 - Devil's Crush – Bonus 2, 5 - Toshiaki Sakoda and/or Masanobu Tsukamoto - 00:38:51  20 - Snatcher – The Entrance to Hell - Konami Kukeiha Club - 00:40:59  21 - Jigoku Meguri – Stage 4 - Hisayoshi Ogura and/or Yasuhisa Watanabe - 00:43:19  22 - Bomberman - Track 10 - Jun Chikuma and/or Keita Hoshi - 00:44:48  23 - Metal Stoker – Big Molecular (Boss 2) - Hiroto Saitoh - 00:46:24  24 - Magical Chase – Final Stage - Hitoshi Sakimoto and/or Masaharu Iwata - 00:48:19  25 - Military Madness – Opening - Jun Chikuma and/or Toshiaki Takimoto - 00:51:54  26 - Barunba – Stage 1 - M.

Do you hear that sound? Can you feel it? The cool ocean breeze in your hair, the salt on your tongue. It's the smooth crash of the Last Wave on KVGM with your host, Hammock, bringing you thirty minutes of the best video game jams(z) from all your favorite composers and consoles, each and every week from our beachside studio in sunny Aqua City Island. Sit back, relax, and get ready to catch...the Last Wave.It's another jam-packed show (emphasis on the JAM) on this Easter Sunday. It's like an easter egg hunt...but we've already done the hunting and the plastic eggs are full of the smoothest VGM soundwaves. But we cheat a little bit this week...just enough to squeeze in a very slick track from the AdLib Music Synthesizer...but we make up for it with more mahjong, golf, fishing, and horse racing tracks. Even Bomberman makes a special guest appearance.DOWNLOAD - THE LAST WAVE (4/21/19)PlaylistDawn Mist - Unknown(Jazz Vibes, AdLib Music Synthesizer)BGM - Masanao Akahori(Honkaku Pro Mahjong Tetsuman Special, Sega Saturn)Stewardess Stage 1 - Minamo Takahashi and Akihiko Ishikawa(Dancing Eyes, Arcade)All is Fine - Kinuyo Yamashita and Hiroyuki Iwatsuki(Ghost Sweeper Mikami: Joreishi wa Nice Body, Super Famicom)Main Menu - Tsukasa Tawada(Thoroughbred Breeder: Sekai Seiha-hen, Playstation)Status - Gon Ohtsuji(Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds, Playstation 3)Ending - Toshiyuki Sudo and Megumi Inoue(Ultimate Angler, Nintendo 3DS)Staff Roll - Jun Chikuma(Saturn Bomberman, Sega Saturn)Special RequestVisual- Hitoshi Sakimoto, Masaharu Iwata, and Yoshio Furukawa(Magical Block Carat, X68000)

Do you hear that sound? Can you feel it? The cool ocean breeze in your hair, the salt on your tongue. It's the smooth crash of the Last Wave on KVGM with your host, Hammock, bringing you thirty minutes of the best video game jams(z) from all your favorite composers and consoles, each and every week from our beachside studio in sunny Aqua City Island. Sit back, relax, and get ready to catch...the Last Wave. It's another jam-packed show (emphasis on the JAM) on this Easter Sunday. It's like an easter egg hunt...but we've already done the hunting and the plastic eggs are full of the smoothest VGM soundwaves. But we cheat a little bit this week...just enough to squeeze in a very slick track from the AdLib Music Synthesizer...but we make up for it with more mahjong, golf, fishing, and horse racing tracks. Even Bomberman makes a special guest appearance.

Spotlight: Yasumi Matsuno   Now that we’ve officially in the Tactics run of the Ivalice era, I figured that now would be a good time to shine a little light on a huge force behind the scenes of the Tactics games: Video Game Designer, Director, and Producer, one with an absolutely stellar career: Yasumi Matsuno.   Yasumi Matsuno was born October 24th, 1965 in Myoko, in the Niigata Prefecture of Japan. Growing up in a rural environment, Matsuno claims that he was very isolated as a child. Thus, nearly all of his time was spent in front of television screens, reading books, and practicing the very specific hobby of creating dioramas, especially those based on World War 2. Oddly enough, quite the indoor kid considering that he grew up in the countryside.   His had his first video game experiences as a high schooler, playing one of two arcade games at the local train station. One was PacMan, a game I’m sure we’re all familiar with, and the other was a game called “Xevius”, a vertically scrolling shooter war game where you take on the role of a combat airplane.   Matsuno wanted to become a writer for either books or movies, but he decided to do the smart thing and go to college and study Foreign Policy.  Finding his studies unfulfilling, he dropped out of school after 3 years to pursue his dreams. He did manage to get a writing gig as an economic reporter, but he wanted something more creative. A fan of the games Ultima Online, Dragon Quest, and The Legend of Zelda, he tried to land a writing job at a gaming company. Incredibly good at getting jobs, Matsuno landed a lead “Planner” position at a game developer called “Quest”.   The first game he did “planning” for was for the NES game “Conquest of the Crystal Palace”, not much is known about this game’s development, except that this was the first time Matsuno and his later partner in crime, composer Masaharu Iwata, began working together.   Moving up to a director position at Quest, Matsuno pitched a Fantasy RPG strategy game that would be put out on the new SNES. Borrowing strategy, fantasy, and Active-Time elements from the games “Nobunaga’s Ambition”, “Daisenryaku”, and “Master of Monsters”, game would come to be known as “Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen”. If I were to describe the gameplay to a Final Fantasy player, it would be Final Fantasy Tactics, but with a much simpler map. A couple interesting facts about the game: the North American Edition of the SNES version is considered one of the rarest games of all time since only 5000 copies were ever shipped. Another odd fact: Ogre Battle was a Queen song, and also Queen’s name is used in The “March of the Black Queen” part of the title. Basically, Matsuno is a huge fan of Queen and refers to them often in his games.   After the success of Ogre Battle, Matsuno would get to work on a sequel, changing the gameplay in drastic ways, focusing more on intimate battles, and making the world a 3D one. Behold the awkwardly titled “Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together”. Now Ogre Battle was pretty much FF Tactics, but this, if you’ve seen screenshots of it, was almost exactly the same game, but with a tragic multi-branching storyline inspired by the Bosnian Genocide.   Tactics Ogre was an extremely popular game, with RPG Gamer calling it “forever [...] a masterpiece”.   Oh, and “Let Us Cling Together” is a Queen song.   Not one to stay anywhere for very long, in 1995 Yasumi Matsuno quit “Quest” to move to the big leagues. He would get a job at Square Soft, getting to work on a game very, very, very, similar to Tactics Ogre, a game called…   ...Bahamut Lagoon.   ...Which would later have the Final Fantasy name slapped on it in the form of “Final Fantasy Tactics”.   Tactics, of course, would turn out to be legendary. As in hearing people tell us to get to tactics is a legendary pain in the ass. That’s how popular the game has become.   Creating the Ivalice Universe, Matsuno would stretch his strategic and tactical game design skills in the loosely-related Vagrant Story. Inspired by architecture from France, nearly canceled due to it’s size, it released in 2000, and would be a smash hit, and earn the coveted 40/40 from Famitsu Magazine.   Next he would oversee Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced in a producer role, and also help out with the horrible PlayOnline Function on FFXI, but his next big gig would be as co-director (along with Hiroyuki Ito) of a little PS2 game called “Final Fantasy XII”.   FF12’s development history is insane and I’m not gonna get into it here, but Matsuno was one of the people deeply upset by Hironobu Sakaguchi’s messy departure from Square-Enix, and quit square officially over “illness”, which may or may not be true, we talk about that on the FF12 review I think.   Since 2006, Matsuno has been a free man, a freelance game that many companies have clamored for. He wrote the super-violent Wii game “Madworld”, as well as the 3DS game “Crimson Shroud”. He was asked to help write another Tactics Ogre Game, and even worked with Hironobu Sakaguchi on his mobile title “Terra Battle”.   Currently he’s working on two games for Mobile Platforms, “Unsung Story” and Lost Order”.   In conclusion, for those guys who think that the greatest Final Fantasy game of all time is Tactics, you know who to thank. Matsuno is one of those game Directors who truly has a unique style. Way to go, Matsuno

This week, we discuss Masayoshi Sokens history within Square Enix. Enjoy! Spotlight: Masayoshi Soken By Joseph DeGolyer   Look, it’s hard to follow up after a huge success.   To every first generation of Saturday night live hosts, there’s always a second generation. Like Irvine Kershner after George Lucas. Like Jason Newsted after Cliff Burton. Like Andrew Johnson after Abraham Lincoln. Like Commodus after Marcus Aurelius.   Some, like Kershner, rise to meet the challenge. Others, like Andrew Johnson, do so terribly their effects sour generations. Even more are just forgotten with time.   For Example, Can you name the musical composer for Final Fantasy 12? How about 13?   For most of us, these names probably don’t pop so easily into our heads… (They are Hitoshi Sakimoto, Hayato Matsuo, Masaharu Iwata for FF12 and Masashi Hamauzu for 13 By the way---and yes, I did have to look those up.)   How can you possibly follow a legend like Nobuo Uematsu? With 12 main series Final Fantasy games composed primarily by him. With pieces like “theme of Love” from FF4 being taught to schoolchildren in Japan, and having the second-highest selling video game single ever (Eyes on Me, yes I still hate it, although I won’t deny the accomplishment), how can someone possibly fill his shoes.   You’ve heard the rumors… Is the next Uematsu here?   HAS THE CHOSEN ONE ARRIVED?   On that, who knows?   But let’s talk about him anyway.   This is our special Spotlight on Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn composer, Masayoshi Soken!!!   ----------------------------small musical interlude----------------------------------   Masayoshi Soken was born on January 10th, 1975 in La Paz Mexico. His father was a Trumpet Player in the NHK Symphony Orchestra for many years, as well as a professor at the Okinawa Prefectural University of Art. Why was his pregnant mother in mexico at the time of Soken’s birth? Who knows! Because he went straight from Mexico to Tokyo, Japan. There he grew to love music, learn piano, learn the guitar, and get into the Tokyo University of Science.   Now I’ve desperately been searching for what he got his degree in at University… There are departments there in Science, engineering, innovation studies, chemical sciences, pharmaceutical sciences, management, fire science, math, technology, and biology….   Basically, no music or sound design school.   Students are required to take some liberal arts stuff, according to the university’s website.   I figured, for fun, I’ll list off their principles on liberal arts-supplemented education:   “Leaders in science and technology are required to remain motivated to tackle, in cooperation with like minded people from different fields, cross-sectional and complex issues that transcend the borders of specialties, while maintaining a foothold in science and technology. We believe that cultivating such ability and supporting outstanding specialized skills are the role of liberal arts education. For this purpose, organizing a curriculum for liberal arts education should aim to cultivate the following types of ability. Ability to adopt a bird’s-eye perspective of nature, people, and society Ability to think logically and critically Communication skills Internationalism (ability to understand different cultures, languages, ethnic groups, and international issues) Self-management ability”   ----------------------------small musical interlude-------------------------------------   Whatever it was that he learned from University, be it Biology or his skill in “Internationalism”, he was able to get an interview at Square in 1998 to work in the sound department.   Apparently, his enthusiasm for rock and roll is what got him the job, as well as his sick skills on the guitar.   And he put that guitar skill to work with his first video game soundtrack credit for the game “Gekikuukan Pro Yakyuu At the End of the Century” in 1999. The game features his punk rock music tracks, as well as some of his sound design… Let’s take a listen to one of his first video game scores….   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zyj_AjLK7E8   Soken would continue to work on sports games for Square, until Square decided that they were done making them. Before that time, would compose tracks for the games  Nichibeikan Pro Baseball: Final League and the soccer simulator World Fantasista…   Here’s a bit of sound from that game:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IphGvVxw9x8   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Now, Soken stayed quiet after the Sports Team was dissolved at square. My only assumption was that he was just lurking in sound design for various games, and not given any more opportunities to compose any music until 2005. There is some confusion regarding his credits, as Soken often went by pseudonyms during this time. It is believed that he co-created the piece "Endless Love, Endless Road” with Masashi Hamauzu and Tsuyoshi Sekito from a Final Fantasy X Tribute Album called “Feel/Go Dream Yuna & Tidus”in 2001. I don’t see any proof of this anywhere, but if Wikipedia says it, you know it’s true!!!!   I think it deserves a bit of a listen though, don’t you?   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqID7jQwnLQ   If you want more information on that album… It’s supposed to be songs about Tidus and Yuna… You can look up more if you want.   His next piece that we know of was the beginning jingle for the show “Square-Enix music TV” where Square’s video game composers would be interviewed and promote their music.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6hsXHXOEn8   On this front, in an attempt to promote himself, apparently he showed up at some kind of fan convention and fought some robots half-naked for Square-Enix players…   Perhaps this paid off, he got to compose one spoof soundtrack for Front Mission 5 called “Blue Stream”...   http://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/front-mission-5-scars-of-the-war-original-soundtrack/321-blue-stream.mp3   And so his return to Composing was complete.   He would next go on to do the entire soundtrack for the Square/Nintendo collaboration Mario 3 on 3. Here’s a taste of that...   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehAZmNS6BPI&list=PLBBD787E4AD05D073   Now, as you can see, a lot of this stuff is more poppy in tone, and far from anything you’d hear in let’s say Final Fantasy 6, but I think that soken was just going pretty much where he was told. He contributed a remix for The Bouncer’s main theme, and he worked on Square-Enix’s web-based games Elebest, Game Brain, and Zenobuster.   He was moving up the ladder.   In 2007 he got the opportunity to play second fiddle to Kenji Ito on the score of Dawn of Mana in 2007.   Here’s his biggest contribution to that game, a track called “Sanctuary”... Sit back and relax for this one...   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDbxqrcxSkk   Now, that’s more like it, am I right?   Mr. Soken was still considered a mid-level composer in the company, and his next two projects “Nameless game” in 2008 would be a minor release on the DS, a Video Game adaptation of The Ring. The theme here, I think, shows that he can do more than pop, rock, and pretty piano pieces… He can create something epic...   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_8YugTt-Bc&list=PLfSOLl6OGya6nIZomTmyNp7MZaPnkt2f1&index=2   The last major game he’d work on before Final Fantasy XIV would be the game “Mario Sports Mix” in 2010.   I’ll play a bit of one of the pieces that showcases Soken’s punk rock style the most from this game…   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqjH20atoNE&list=PL8827B3786F638845&index=5   So, at some point he got hired on to do the sound direction for the 1.0 version of Final Fantasy XIV after this (Which, considering how huge the series is, that is still a massively important job in its own right). Nobuo Uematsu was making a one-off return to the series after going solo, and his shoes wouldn’t need to be filled until 1.0’s massive failure.   During the 1.0 to 2.0 debacle (you can listen to our FF14 review to learn all about that), Soken was given the double duty of directing the sound of both games. With no Uematsu, Soken had to fill in much of the soundtrack himself, eventually creating over 100 tracks for the new game, and later creating another 60 tracks for the Heavensward expansion.   Let’s go through a few of his most popular tracks from FF14. We’ll be putting up piano remixes these pieces, as I think that that may be the best way to truly appreciate the musicality of Soken--check the description for the links and check out the channels. For the true Soken audio, consult the game, or buy the albums.   This first one is called “Wailers and Waterwheels” arranged by Matt Fuss...   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmZRCxdvSvU&list=PLBEaChoG50t4iyMscJ9mwMc0fCEK2MNh3   Here’s a pretty cool version of “Leviathan” from Husky By the Geek...   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h37r9S0GdIs&index=13&list=PLpamuGhPkpi5sSydUiEYpP3FDpgeGdTP7   ...and we’ll play one more by the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra. This is “A New Hope”...   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p97GPoQDXfc   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   For our closing statements on Masayoshi Soken, I’d like to say that I think he’s got incredible potential as far as his future work is concerned. Many FF14 players have gathered around his music in particular, praising it over Uematsu’s work on the same game.   I think the Jury’s still out on this one, but I sense great things from Masayoshi Soken in the future.   Let’s fade out with my favorite piece from Heavensward that I’ve heard so far… This is “Contention”. A remix by Benjamin Antony James…   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-9WEwgevEg

The 3rd Generation era of video games brings back very fond memories to many retro gamers. To many Gamers in north america The third generation (sometimes referred to as the 8-bit era) began on October 18, 1985 with the release of the Nintendo Entertainment System , and later in June of 1986 ( about nine months after the NES debut) the Sega Master System.

Opening and Title screen themes set the mood for the entire game. they're in charge of giving a player the ever important first impression. Often overlooked, these particular themes are usually an afterthought once the “press start” option becomes available, But if you choose to not press that button, you will realize that the these themes are one of the most important key elements in making an amazing gaming experience. This is why this special STAGE of the retro VGM revival hour is dedicated to those great Opening and Title screen themes.

Final Fantasy XII began development in the year 2000, after Final Fantasy Xi’s announcement, and would become the game with the longest development time in history when it was finally released in 2006. The development was a tumultuous one as well as an expensive one, costing 35 Million USD to create, an estimated 12 million more than FF10.   The game was to be co-directed with Hiroyuki Ito (of FF6 and FF9 fame) and a man named Yasumi Matsuno, who had previously helmed and penned the very popular game Vagrant Story as well as Final Fantasy Tactics. It was Matsuno who had come up with the story of FF12, and Ito, along with battle designer Hiroshi Tomomatsu, was well underway with the creation of his new FF battle system called the “Active Dimension system”, drawing inspiration from the plays in American football.   It was to be a truly glorious combination of Square’s creative teams.   And Square-Enix spared no expense. The art team was shipped off to Turkey to draw up design ideas for the game, and much of the early development of FF12 was based upon custom-creating the tools used to make the game, drawing upon the same game engine as FF11 to create a type of MMO experience in a single player game.   A couple things about the early iterations of Final Fantasy 12: There was a planned 2-player mode. There were plans to allow for recruitments of non-player characters to join in mob hunts. There was a job system. Basch was initially meant to be the main character of the story.   But, as I said before, FF12’s development was a troubled one.   Halfway through production, Hironobu Sakaguchi, series creator, quit Square-Enix altogether, taking a huge chunk of the Final Fantasy XII development team with him to his new company, Mistwalker. Devastated by this blow to the project, co-director Yasumi Matsuno refused to come to work for a month after the split.   Rumors are that Matsuno was extremely temperamental after that. And in 2005 Matsuno stepped down from his position, claiming illness as the cause. He has since stated that though he had in-fact been sick, he felt he had disappointed the staff, shareholders, and fans who were looking forward to the game. Matsuno would later follow Sakaguchi to Mistwalker to work on the game Terra Battle.   Series veteran Nobuo Uematsu would also bow out of this Final Fantasy, leaving Square in 2004, Uematsu’s only tracks appearing on FF12 would be Final Fantasy’s main theme and the ending song, fitting called “Kiss me Goodbye”.   Hitoshi Sakimoto was the primary replacement for Uematsu, with a handful of tracks created by Square-Enix composers, Hayato Matsuo and Masaharu Iwata.   To finish up the game, Matsuno was hurriedly replaced by Hiroshi Minagawa to salvage the game. Later, that same person would be one of the staff members sent to save another troubled FF game, FF14.   Within this environment of ever-changing staff members, there were some ever-changing aspects of the game tacked on: The planned 2-player mode and NPC recruitment were dropped from FF12 due to hardware limitations, and the fact that trying to implement those systems would cause too many delays. The Job system was dropped as Square-Enix decided that such a complex system would “confuse the players” as well as make the game’s development even longer. This would later be put back in, in a way, with the release of a game called “Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System” in 2007. And lastly, Basch was deemed as too old and too tough of a character for the target demographic of the game, and in order to make up for this, the characters Vaan and Penelo were created. Vaan starting out as a tough guy and ending up an outgoing, spunky kid.   In 2005 a playable demo of FF12 was released with the game Dragon Quest 8, and in March of 2006 the full game followed in Japan. In october of 2006, North America received the game, and in February of 2007 it was released in Europe and Australia.   Despite all the setbacks, FF12 was a large commercial success, selling over 5 million copies and becoming the 4th biggest Ps2 game of 2006. It was also a mega-hit critically, winning multiple game of the year awards, and recieving top scores by many critics.   Yet, a few years later and FF12 is nearly forgotten. Often seen as a low-point in the series, many fans of the Final Fantasy series see 12 as a disappointment. In one of the reviews for the game, Gamespot criticized it for having the weakest soundtrack in the series, and many a youtube reviewer have expressed disinterest in the weak characters of Vaan and Penelo, saying that they had nothing to contribute to the story. Series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi said he couldn’t play more than the first 20 minutes, and executive producer Akitoshi Kawazu stated that although he was happy with the perfect famitsu score of 40/40 for the game, he felt that it was far from perfect, and that the storyline did not meet expectations.   The legacy of FF12 is a conflicting one indeed…   Remixes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pCzY801ZHE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHSpGvd-Jy8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsrgyCn8adU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWAJZ7rU2PY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv73PYw71rk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX-wPtcq700
