This past weekend we got the chance to talk with Jason Charles Miller at MTAC Another World!

Hello Adventurers! We hope that this 24 Hour Maintenance of Final Fantasy XIV is treating you well. To help pass the time as we while away the hours for the game to come back online, we have a new episode covering the little things in latest Patch Notes for 7.2: Seekers of Eternity. Not the MSQ or the Combat Job revisions, or even the new raids… But the little things. The things you might gloss over at first glace, but once you dog in for deeper dive… Things that could still be pretty important!Spoiler Levels: Roast Chicken! Roasted to crispy perfection, then flavored with garlic and a hint of lemon, a single scent of this dish is enough to make the mouth water. The perfect dish to complement a podcast flavored with just a hint of spoilers! Just a few proper nouns here and there, really. Although it is about patch notes for the latest update for the game.OSMnotesHere are the complete7.2 Patch Notes, if you want to attempt to follow along! We bounce around a little bit, but we trust that you can still find your way.Music is this episode features tracks such as “Blessings on the Bluffs” (Composed by Takafumi Imamura, Arranged by Justin Frieden), “A Trail Unending” (Composed by Masayoshi Soken, Arranged by Shoya Sunakawa), and “Morrow's Magic” (Composed by Masayoshi Soken, Arranged by Daiki Ishikawa).We also have YouTube Channels!

Hello Adventurers! As Valentione's Day has just passed us by, we thought now would be a great time to show some of the characters in Final Fantasy XIV some love. As it just so happens, GPOSERS had kicked off the month with a post on Bluesky that links to a FFXIV character Tiermaker. And thus, after recording for three or so hours… and many… many more hours of editing after the fact, we now present to you The Official Carbuncle Chronicle Character Rankings: From ARR to Endwalker. But also, we talk a little bit about what we are excited for in the upcoming patch of 7.2: Seekers of Eternity.Spoiler Levels: Archon Loaf! Baked with either fish or vegetable flour, this fluffy loaf of rye bread is?from a nutritional standpoint?wholesome indeed. OK, so rather than fish or vegetable flour, this no-less fluffy loaf of a podcast is baked with love (and hate) for the many great (and terrible) NPCs that form the backbone of the MMORPG we all enjoy! So spoilers will, in fact, be aplenty.OSMnotesThank you to GPOSERS for the great idea prompt for the podcast topic! But without further ado, here's that final tier ranking image:But also, Time Cues! And just so you know, we end up going through the list alphabetically, so when you see a name listed in the cues that's where we are in the ranking: Ahewann thru Zenos.00:00:00 – Intro and Three Things We Are Looking Forward to in Patch 7.2!00:11:26 – The Character Tier Rankings Begin00:16:46 – Setting the Rules00:17:14 – We Each Pick a Winner00:24:41 – Ahewann, and Other Characters that Start With the Letter A00:40:31 – Beq Lugg, and Beyond00:56:00 – Estinien!!!01:14:59 – Kai-Shirr???01:26:33– Moenbryda, Forever in Our Hearts01:39:39– Pipin, and His Most Glorious Hair01:53:10– Ysayle, and Wrapping up the RankingsMusic is this episode features tracks such as “Sanctuary's Heart: Close in the Distance” (Remixed by DJ Mitsu the Beats), “The Aetherial Sea” (Composed by Masayoshi Soken, Arranged by Daiki Ishikawa), “Black and White” (Composed by Masayoshi Soken, Arranged by Yukiko Takada), “Pulse: A Long Fall” (Remixed by Takafumi Imamura), “estinien.mp4” (Remixed by Denmo McStronghuge), “Knowledge Never Sleeps” (Composed by Masayoshi Soken, Arranged by Yoshitaka Suzuki), “Magicked Skulls” (Composed by Masayoshi Soken), “Sultana Dreaming” (Composed by Masayoshi Soken), “Perfumed Eves” (Composed by Masayoshi Soken, Arranged by Daiki Ishikawa), “Your Answer” (Composed by Nobuo Uematsu, Arranged by Takafumi Imamura & Daiki Ishikawa), and “Pulse: Insatiable” (Remixed by Shoya Sunakawa).We also have YouTube Channels!

Hello Adventurers! And wait for it, no longer! Since we've gotten the vast majority of things one can do in the current patch that is 7.1: Crossroads, we figured now would be a great time to talk about it. But not only that, we also delve into some of things that we are looking forward coming to Final Fantasy XIV this year. (And in fact, after we recorded, we learned even more about what is coming soon since there has been a Live Letter all about 7.2: Seekers of Eternity!)Spoiler Levels: Popoto Chips! Thin slices of popoto, fried to a golden crisp and lightly salted to create the perfect snack. Just like this episode! Until we break out the spicy cheese sauce of spoilers. But those are clearly marked by the Time Cues below!OSMnotesThat's right folks!

Somehow it's been four years since Rhythm Encounter's last Halloween episode, back in 2020's episode 56. Well, it's time we rectified that. A sequel to that episode and a spiritual successor to our previous episode about the works of Michiru Yamane, our panel dug into our gaming experiences to find music for the most spooky time of year. You'll find one of Pokémon's most iconic themes, and everything from old PC adventures to SNES, PS4, and more. If you need some tunes while carving pumpkins, or you're baking some Halloween treats... well, first of all, send us some.

September was not short on incredible new releases, some of which I had been waiting for for a long time. Take Final Fantasy XVI, for instance! Even though I didn't like it very much, there are obviously some amazing tracks in there. You'll also find some pleasant surprises this month, with lesser-known games — and even some that haven't been released yet! Enjoy, and thanks for your support

About: A second episode of themes that capture the sounds of both crystals and icicles.

Final Fantasy XVI released over a year ago and gave us two DLC episodes to continue Clive's journey. Are they additive enough? Does the game hold up a year later? Join us as we discuss two very different boss fights, debate once again about what makes a Final Fantasy game, and have a drastic change in audio quality (listen at the end to find out why).Note: The music track at the start of the episode is “Frozen Tears”, composed by Masayoshi Soken for the Final Fantasy XVI Original Soundtrack. We in no way have or claim ownership of this music.Support the Show.

Hello Adventurers! OK, we are actually finally here! It's Dawntrail time! Now that said, it's been a month and change since release. But this episode is a amalgamation of multiple sound bites that we all recorded when the expansion was just launched into early access. It covers the first, oh we dunno, two-thirds of the game? Right up into Zone 5. All those early moments, storytelling beats, the various dungeons and trails? Hanging out with Wut Lamat and scopin' out Tural? As we experienced them, we set voice to microphone and recorded them for you. Enjoy.Spoiler Levels: Tender Shortcake! Layered with whipped cream and sliced nopalitender tunas, this light and fruity desert is the perfect summertime treat. Just like this episode! (Okay look. We already explained the actual spoiler levels in the paragraph above. You know what you are getting into here!)OSMnotesIn other news, we have posted on our YouTube page The Music of Final Fantasy XIV Panel that Tobias and Anna hosted at MomoCon earlier this year! It was a fun time and a great panel. If you haven't watched it yet, you should! They did amazing.Music used in this episode are the various day and nighttime themes used in Dawntrail. While the official credits have not been published for these it's a safe bet they were all worked on in some fashion by Masayoshi Soken, and for the nighttime themes also arranged by Keiko.We also have YouTube Channels now!

Hello Adventurers! While last year was the 10 Year Anniversary of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, this year is our 10 Year Anniversary of playing Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn! So, we thought it would be nice to look back at those halcyon days of times long ago. Specifically, ten years ago. And to join us down this trip on memory lane, we are joined by the fellows Chille and Paul of Moogle Go Round Radio! MGR is a FFXIV podcast and stream where they, if you can believe it, talk about Final Fantasy XIV. They also just recently celebrated their own 8th Anniversary of existence! You can trust us when we say they were the perfect pair to chat with us about how TP used to be real and could hurt you.Spoiler Levels: La Noscean Toast! This is not an especially spoiler-filled episode, unless you have never played Final Fantasy XIV at all ever. In which case, have you heard about the free trial? And then come back to us after you finish up with ARR. Otherwise: Enjoy this delicious episode that has been soaked mixture of buffalo milk and eggs, and then fried in creamy butter. A specialty at the Drowning Wench in Limsa Lominsa!OSMnotesOnce again big thanks to Paul and Chille for chatting with us! And as you may have noticed, this is a Part 1! Because we had planned to talk about the expansions leading up to Dawntrail, but we only got as far as A Realm Reborn. Guess we'll have to schedule a Part 2 at some point! But until then, how about some Time Cues:00:00:00 – We Start the Carbuncle Chronicling00:14:41 – Our Humble Beginnings00:51:09 – A Realm Reborn01:16:43 – FFXIV 2.0: Then and Now.

Hello Gentlepeople! We here at The Manderville Minute have been covering the amazing work of Manderville Family in all facets of Ul'dah life, and this time we have decided to tackle the most gentlemanly of gentlemen: Hildibrand Helidor Maximillian Manderville. He is a Manderville Man that can only do what a Manderville can, as he travels the realm as a self-titled “agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire” alongside his assistant, Nashu Mhakaracca. Now wait just a gosh darn moment… No, what do you mean this about an MMORPG called Final Fantasy XIV? No, this is an audio recording all about one of our great Thanalan heroes! Perish the thought that this could be about some mere game.Spoiler Levels: Truffles à la Manderville! This is a sweet and fluffy episode. We do talk about all sorts of the events that you can find in the various Hildibrand Adventures in Final Fantasy XIV, up to and including the events and trial in Patch 6.55. While we don't get into too much MSQ talk… If you want to go into Hildibrand completely unsullied, this is your warning.Manderville NotesHope you all enjoyed the episode!

Si tout se passe bien, cet épisode est rendu publique le 9 Mars 2024 (même si je l'ai mis en ligne bien avant). Ce qui fait qu'il sort le jour de mon 10e anniversaire sur le MMORPG à succès de Square Enix. Et pour l'occasion je suis revenu sur l'échec qu'a été sa première version avant le sauvetage sous la direction de Naoki Yoshida. Dans cette émission je reviens aussi sur le parcours de Masayoshi Soken, directeur audio sur le jeu. Et en fin d'épisode je reviens sur ces 10 ans passé sur le jeu. J'espère que l'épisode vous plaira.

Hello Adventurers! Now that we are solidly in the true “Wait Till Dawntrail” part of our Final Fantasy XIV life cycle, we thought it was best to look back to what we just got to play through. And that is Final Fantasy XIV Patch 6.55: Growing Light – Part 2! Not only did we get our true onramp storyline-wise leading into the upcoming expansion, but we also got a bunch of capstones to a lot of side content. From Hildebrand blasting off again, to seeing how our allied tribe quests sorted out, we are talking about it all. Yes, even the part about the cheese. Spoiler Levels: Very Hot, like Spicy Stellar Soup hot! This is a very hot and savory episode. We namedrop Endwalker Extremes from the get-go, we talk about stuff that happened in Stormblood, and how everything is leading into Dawntrail. This is for those that are either very current players, or really don't care about spoilers.OSMnotesHope you all enjoyed the episode!

When it comes to Final Fantasy music, for every "One-Winged Angel," there are a dozen lesser-known songs in a given game that don't always get their deserved time in the spotlight. Today's panel came loaded with eight songs they feel are overlooked, underrepresented, and, yes, underrated from across the Final Fantasy series. So take a seat, Sephiroth, today we're going to hear from Relm, Jecht, and some good avian friends.Note: One of us made a mistake when discussing a song in the third block, but please continue listening before writing in, as we figured out the issue during the song break! Apologies for any confusion there, but enjoy the music nonetheless.Featuring: Mike Salbato, Tin Manuel, Lucas Greene, Jimmy Turner; Edited by Jono LoganTracklist0:09:38 - The Selkie Guild (Hidenori Iwasaki & Ryo Yamazaki) - Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles The Crystal Bearers0:12:03 - Galdin Quay (Yoko Shimomura) - Final Fantasy XV0:27:42 - Damcyan Castle (Nobuo Uematsu, arr.

Life moves pretty fast. Despite that, we all found times for a few games that we weren't playing for other podcasts this month, and time enough to sit down to talk about them. This year has seen Jen finally coming to appreciate baseball, and by extension baseball video games in MLB The Show 23. Kyrie has fallen for familiar comforts under friendly names by plugging her friends into Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth. And Six has been playing Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker and frowning at it... and reading the announcement for Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail, and SCREAMING at it. In chronological order, our music is 8bit23 by Koichi Morita, The Real Thing from MLB The Show 19 by Cook Classics featuring Outasight, Shooting Stars by Bag Raiders, The Handed Down Name from Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth by Yuzo Koshiro, Prelude - Tales from Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker by Masayoshi Soken, and then a reprise of 8bit23 by Koichi Morita. You can find us on Twitter at @jbu3 for Jen, @KyrieAPage for Kyrie, and @sixdettmar for Six.

Sound Teams est un podcast de Third Éditions qui décrypte la musique de jeu vidéo. Ce quinzième numéro s'intéresse au compositeur Masayoshi Soken et aux musiques de Final Fantasy XIV et Final Fantasy XVI. À l'occasion de la sortie récente de Final Fantasy XVI, l'équipe de Sound Teams a choisi d'aborder le travail de celui qui a parfois été désigné comme le successeur de Nobuo Uematsu, puisqu'on lui doit l'imposante bande originale de Final Fantasy XIV et celle du seizième volet. Vous l'aurez reconnu, il s'agit de Masayoshi Soken ! Néanmoins, la déception de l'équipe a été grande concernant la bande originale de FFXVI. De fait, en sus d'aborder la vie et l'oeuvre éclectique du talentueux Masayoshi Soken, ce numéro aborde également divers sujets autour de la production d'une musique de jeu vidéo, en revenant sur le rythme de travail de Soken, la place des arrangeurs, le choix de ne pas avoir eu recours à un orchestre pour FFXVI, et ce que ce choix signifie en regard de l'historique de la saga Final Fantasy. Pour aborder tous ces sujets, Damien Mecheri s'est entouré des experts Jérémie Kermarrec (cofondateur de Wayô Records, auteur des livres La Légende Final Fantasy XIII et La Légende Final Fantasy XV) et Julien Goyon (musicien, sound designer, compositeur, auteur des Ludothèques Panzer Dragoon et The Last Story, et du livre L'Oeuvre de David Simon). Au sommaire de ce numéro : 00:00 | Introduction 03:00 | La contre-vérité : Masayoshi Soken est-il le successeur de Nobuo Uematsu ? 05:35 | Qui est Masayoshi Soken ? 24:50 | À la bouche : comme une familiarité... 26:00 | L'épopée Final Fantasy XIV 01:17:00| Les recommandations 01:19:20 | Le gâchis Final Fantasy XVI 02:08:50 | L'actualité de Third N'hésitez pas à nous faire part de vos retours sur les réseaux sociaux !

This week Steve and Bobby are joined by George Yang to review Square Enix's Final Fantasy XVI!

Does Square Enix gracefully handle diversity in Final Fantasy XVI? We break down the issues the developers created during press tours, how excellent Masayoshi Soken's musical score is, the Ultima Weapon, and the 60-hour playtime.

About: The arid deserts boast both funky, high temperature themes, as well as some very reflective and emotional music. While there is often a very clichéd sound to some desert music, there's also a lot of creativity and interpretation put into the themes of these mysterious, and wide-open areas. Artwork: Final Fantasy X 00:00 - Down In The Base …for Hidden Base [Sonic Adventure 2] by Jun Senoue > 03:34 - Tostarena Ruins [Super Mario Odyssey] by Naoto Kubo > 07:22 - Bikanel Desert [Final Fantasy X-2] by Noriko Matsueda, Takahito Eguchi > 09:11 - Masca Rakka [Dark Cloud] by Tomohito Nishiura > 10:50 - Theme of Morroc [Ragnarok Online] by soundTeMP > 12:59 - Dreams Showed by a Cloud of Dust [Radiant Historia] by Yoko Shimomura > 15:30 - Secret of the Arid Sands [Secret Of Mana] by Hiroki Kikuta > 18:25 - Adel Desert [Soma Bringer] by Yasunori Mitsuda > 21:31 - Over The Desert [The Legend of Xanadu II] by Falcom Sound Team jdk > 23:41 - Desert - The Cursed Oasis [Sorcerian] by Falcom Sound Team jdk > 24:52 - Sand Ocean [F-Zero] by Yumiko Kanki > 26:11 - Conkdor Canyon [Super Mario 3D World] by Mahito Yokota, Toru Minegishi, Yasuaki Iwata > 28:26 - Ariant [MapleStory] by Wizet > 30:45 - Ares Island: 1st Mvt.

Kat is away this week, which means it's another golden opportunity for co-host Nadia Oxford to conduct studies on the cleansing properties of fire. Actually, everything goes very well thanks to a very cool guest appearance by music composer/remixer, Alex Moukala! Alex and Nadia talk about the history of Final Fantasy music and its composers, including series veteran Nobuo Uematsu and Final Fantasy XIV's own bard, Masayoshi Soken. Also in this episode: Nadia is joined by friend and Blood God FF XIV raid organizer, Victor Hunter, to talk about Shin Megami Tensei III, Square Enix's mysterious E3 plans, and...FFXIV. Finally, please pardon Nadia's rather dismal mic quality this week. Her Yeti's USB cord elected to slowly murder itself ahead of E3 2021's festivities. There but for the grace of God go any of us.

A fan made remix of one of the most beautiful songs I have heard in any game I have ever played! This particular production being from Final Fantasy 14 called "Night in the Brume". An absolutely stunning piano piece made by the legendary sound producer and designer, Masayoshi Soken! When I first heard this song it took my breath away and not long after, I completely recreated the piano piece and decided to make a remix for all of you fellow gamers and trance heads out there! As a side note you should all absolutely go check out the original! Please enjoy this as it is free for all of you to use!

The episode I intended to put out this week isn't done yet, but I decided to toss you guys an episode that was previously a Patreon-exclusive. Last year, around the time Singing Mountain hit one hundred episodes, I did a bonus that was just all the VGM tracks I'd encountered just through doing research for this podcast. You know, as opposed to hearing them while actually playing video games, like normal people.  Also, if you're seeing this episode, that means Singing Mountain has successfully transferred over from SoundCloud, which sucks, to Libsyn, which does not. Yay!

Now that E3 is over, it's time to start talking about E3! We follow up on some of the aftermath of the event as well as news of video games from the past week, and do some Kingdom Hearts math to figure out just what's going on there. Then, some new releases to freshen things up, and we continue on to the topic of the week! It's Fathers' Day, so we talk about a few notable dads in video games (good and bad).

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

This time we discuss the design, music, legacy, and ranking of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. We discuss how we felt about the toned down anime elements of the character designs. We talk about the look of the areas, and praise the added number of NPC character models. We move on to discuss the musical score. We were quite impressed with the score, composed mainly by Masayoshi Soken. Only a few pieces composed by Nobou Uematsu survived the relaunch process. Once we've sufficiently blown the score, we discuss the legacy of the game. It will forever live in infamy due to it's initial 1.0 release, but much of it was revitalized by the re release. We discuss the game's place in the series, as well as it's place among other MMORPG's. We answer a few questions, and move on to our recap. We then place it forever in the ranking alongside it's 13 other brethren before it. Enjoy!
