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.

Pensando a te, ovunque tu sia.Preghiamo perché questa sofferenza abbia fine nella speranza che i nostri cuori si riuniscano. Ora io realizzerò questo desiderio.E chissà: rincominciare a viaggiare non è poi così difficile… o forse il mio viaggio è già iniziato.Ci sono tanti mondi, ma tutti condividono lo stesso cielo - un solo cielo, un solo destino.La decisione è stata inaspettatamente fluida. La sua Agente ha acconsentito alla prima trattativa e non è andata male. Hanno risposto dicendo qualcosa del tipo: "Le piacciono i giochi, quindi potrebbe andare bene". Hanno anche aggiunto che le piace la Disney.“Le piacciono i giochi e la Disney…” non so se Hikaru Utada si aspettasse un risultato del genere, una svolta così prorompente per la sua carriera e per la sua immagine. Se avesse anche solo annusato la possibilità che quel primo progetto tra Square e Disney sarebbe poi diventato una serie da oltre 30 milioni di copie nel mondo…Classe 1983 Utada nasce negli stati Uniti da genitori Giapponesi e fin dalla giovane età si ritrova a fare avanti e indietro tra Tokyo e New York a causa del lavoro del padre come produttore musicale. Il suo debutto sulla scena avviene nel 1998, alla sola età di 15 anni pubblica l'album Precious sotto lo pseudonimo di Cubic U… il disco è un fallimento totale. La ragazza non molla e l'anno dopo pubblica in Giappone il suo primo album in sola lingua giapponese: è un successo. Nel corso della sola prima settimana il disco vende oltre un milione di copie, rimane nella top ten delle classifiche giapponesi per oltre 6 settimane e raggiunge la cifra di 6 milioni di copie vendute a fine 1999. Utada inizia così la sua scalata musicale nel mondo del pop e R&B giapponese diventando ad oggi una delle più influenti e redditizie cantanti del sol levante.L'incontro tra lei e Kingdom Hearts è quindi l'incontro inaspettato di due stelle in ascesa. Da una parte una ragazzina di soli 18 anni con 6 milioni di dischi venduti sulle spalle e la richiesta di essere la voce d'ingresso al mondo di Kingdom Hearts, dall'altra un pretenzioso azzardo videoludico affidato nelle mani del più sregolato director del nuovo millennio: Tetsuya Nomura.La versione che state ascoltando è presa dalla Collection Project Destati, una trascrizione fan made realizzata da tre appassionati del gioco che ho già utilizzato per l'episodio predente e che utilizzerò anche per questo. Va da sé che la versione originale di questo brano è molto molto diversa ma tranquilli, in descrizione trovate il link alle opening di tutti e tre i Kingdom Hearts numerati.Ma Jonathan ha senso parlare di questo brano utilizzando una cover fatta al pianoforte? Allora, innanzitutto sono due pianoforti, in secondo luogo per quello che mi preme dirvi ha molto senso. Amici di mangianastri in questa intro all'episodio voglio raccontarvi al volo il significato musicale delle opening di Kingdom Hearts e nel mentre che la melodia di Hikari (O simple & clean nella versione occidentale) ci accompagna vi leggo la traduzione del ritornello:Mentre te ne vai, non mi senti dire"Per favore, baby, non andare"Semplice e pulitoÈ il modo in cui mi fai sentire staseraÈ difficile lasciar perdereIl primo aspetto importante da comprendere è che Utada ha scritto questa canzone sia per il gioco che per il suo album Deep River, ci significa che è si legato alle vicende narrate nel primo Kingdom Hearts ma neanche troppo nel senso che la canzone parla di una relazione amorosa e come imparare ad amare mentre in Kingdom Hearts si parla più di affetto e del ritrovare gli affetti perduti. Il secondo aspetto fondamentale è che il plot narrativo del primo gioco ha subito tantissimi cambiamenti in corso d'opera, cambiamenti che sono avvenuti prima, durante e dopo il processo di scrittura di Simple & Clean e questo potrebbe anche spiegare (in larghissima parte) il perchè di un focus così mirato sulla relazione amorosa.Se quindi il primo Kingdom Hearts poteva fregiarsi di una opening non del tutto legata al gioco ma sicuramente di enorme impatto visto che la voce del gioco era la cantante più in voga nel territorio giapponese dell'epoca, con il secondo titolo le cose cambiano radicalmente.Gli aspetti che cambiano maggiormente tra il primo ed il secondo Kingdom Hearts sono due: la popolarità raggiunta dal brand (Kingdom Hearts 1 fu un successo mondiale) e la conseguente presa di coscienza di Tetsuya Nomura che si può tradurre in un accrescimento spropositato del suo ego. Questi due aspetti hanno fatto sì che intorno a questo brano che state ascoltando si siano sprecate tante, ma tante, ma tante di quelle parole, supposizione, sproloqui, teorie che rendono ora complesso comprendere quale sia la verità. Nella versione originale di Passion (nella versione inglese intitolata Sanctuary) vennero introdotte alcune frasi al contrario che nascondevano alcuni piccoli easter egg legati al gioco e alla serie, frasi del tipo:Il mio cuore è un campo di battagliaNecessito più affetto di quello che immaginiCosì tanti alti e bassiNecessito emozioni vereDa questo alle versioni di Sanctuary riprodotte interamente al contrario e sottotitolate a caso che potete trovare su YouTube ne passa di acqua sotto i ponti, acqua che però Nomura ha saputo cavalcare alla grande in quanto la opening del secondo Kingdom Hearts segna un punto di non ritorno per la serie: segna il punto delle speculazioni ardite, delle risposte non dette, dell'agrovigliamento del cuore di Sora e dell'inizio di alcuni problemi narrativi belli grossi. Di chi sono quelle frasi? Di Riku? Di Roxas? Di Sora? Di Ventus? Di tutti e 4? Di nessuno di loro?Questo ora non ci interessa, ci interessa invece che per la prima volta nella storia dei videogiochi la musica divenne non solo espressione del mondo di gioco, non solo caratterizzante fin nel suo midollo ma anche veicolo primario di informazioni di trama.È un macello? Si.È stato gestito male? Si.Ma Kingdom Hearts è questo, così tanti alti e bassi che hanno fatto provare al sottoscritto una quantità infinita di emozioni vere trasformando il mio cuore in un campo di battaglia.Benvenuti o Bentornati su mangianastri, io sono Jonathan e oggi concludiamo il nostro viaggio all'interno della colonna sonora di Kingdom Hearts.OPENINGKingdom Hearts Kingdom Hearts IIKingdom Hearts IIISITOGRAFIAKingdom HeartsMusica di Kingdom HeartsYoko ShimomuraKingdom Hearts (videogioco)Kingdom Hearts: Chain of MemoriesKingdom Hearts 358/2 DaysKingdom Hearts HD 1.5 RemixIntervista a Yoko Shimomura e Tetsuya Nomura KINGDOM HEARTS: Memories of Dearly Beloved with Yoko ShimomuraYoko Shimomura talks Kingdom Hearts MusicFamitsu Interview with Yoko Shimomura, Takeharu Ishimoto and Tsuyoshi Sekito on KH3's soundtrackYoko Shimomura compositriceYoko Shimomura siteQuesto episodio non è a fini di lucroI diritti dei brani musicali di questo brano non appartengono al sottoscritto.Ogni episodio di LATO A è una lettera d'amore all'industria videoludica, ai suoi produttori, direttori, sviluppatori, ma sopratutto ai suoi compositori.

Ricordo ancora tutto quanto di quel giorno. Non so perchè e non so come mai una cosa banale come un videogioco possa incidersi così tanto nella testa di un ragazzo di 12 anni ma ricordo tutto.Ricordo lo spacchettamento della scatolina. Ricordo il libretto di istruzione in cinque lingue a colori. Ricordo la cutscene iniziale in computer grafica sul gameboy Advance che mi spaccò la mascella. Ricordo l’introduzione del gioco con le carte, sto Sora con la chiave, un Castello, un bordello. Ricordo che giocavo sul gameboy Advance bianco, regalatomi dalla nonna, sul tavolo sotto alla luce perchè non c’era lo schermo retroilluminato. Ricordo tutto del mio primo giorno con Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories. Di quel piccolo amore che, nonostante tutto, ancora dimora dentro di me per l’intera saga di Kingdom Hearts.Fine anni ’90, Square osserva il successo di Mario 64 e capisce che ha bisogno anche lei di fare un gioco tridimensionale di quel calibro. Serve però un cast riconoscibile quanto quello di Ninendo.. un cast come quello Disney.Ma figurati se Disney accetterebbe mai una roba del genere… se non fosse che al tempo Square e Disney lavorano nello stesso palazzo e capita un giorno che Shinji Hashimoto, uno dei capi di Square nonché produttore di molti giochi, prende l’ascensore con un dirigente Disney e gli butta lì l’idea di fare un gioco che unisse i mondi Disney a quelli di final fantasy. Tetsuya Nomura viene messo a capo del progetto sotto la produzione di Hashimoto e di Kitase e nel 2002 esce il primo capitolo di Kingdom Hearts… il resto è storia.Sora, Riku e kairi sono 3 ragazzi che vivono alle Isole del destino, un piccolo arcipelago in mezzo al mare dove il tempo viene scandito tra giochi in spiaggia e sogni espressi al cielo finché una notte una violenta tempesta colpisce le isole, Riku viene attratto da una inspiegabile forza oscura, Kairi sparisce da qualche parte e Sora, il nostro protagonista, si ritrova catapultato nella Città di Mezzo, uno strano posto dove confluiscono le persone che si sono perse. Ha così inizio uno dei viaggi più intricato, a volte raffazzonato, spesso tirato per i capelli, diverse volte emozionante ma soprattutto dotato di un fascino pericoloso, ammaliante.Da questo punto si sviluppano le vicende di Sora e del Keyblade, di Kairi e delle 7 principesse, di Riku e del fascino dell’oscurità, di Ansem il cercatore dell’oscurità e della misteriosa organizzazione 13. Un viaggio composto da 12 videogiochi sparpagliati su tutte le piattaforme possibili e immaginabili, con 3 titoli numerati e 9 spin off, che di spin off però non hanno proprio nulla. Un viaggio che ha accompagnato una intera generazione, la mia, dal 2002 fino ad ora e che risulta ancora lontana dall’essere conclusa. Un’epopea che presenta una colonna sonora forse senza paragoni capace di sfondare i muri del videogioco come mai nessuno prima d’ora e che ha emozionato migliaia e migliaia di giocatori in tutto il mondo.Con oltre 30 milioni di titoli venduti in tutto il mondo, una serie sconfinata di manga, cd musicali, merchandise e chi più ne ha più ne metta. Con una fan base esagerata e numerosissima, un apprezzamento globale da parte della critica ed uno dei director più scellerato di sempre in perenne bilico tra il genio ed il ridicolo.Benvenuti o bentornati su mangianastri, io sono Jonathan, e oggi parliamo di una prima parte della colonna sonora della saga di Kingdom Hearts.SITOGRAFIAKingdom HeartsMusica di Kingdom HeartsYoko ShimomuraKingdom Hearts (videogioco)Kingdom Hearts: Chain of MemoriesKingdom Hearts 358/2 DaysKingdom Hearts HD 1.5 RemixIntervista a Yoko Shimomura e Tetsuya Nomura KINGDOM HEARTS: Memories of Dearly Beloved with Yoko ShimomuraYoko Shimomura talks Kingdom Hearts MusicFamitsu Interview with Yoko Shimomura, Takeharu Ishimoto and Tsuyoshi Sekito on KH3's soundtrackYoko Shimomura compositriceYoko Shimomura siteQuesto episodio non è a fini di lucroI diritti dei brani musicali di questo brano non appartengono al sottoscritto.Ogni episodio di LATO A è una lettera d'amore all'industria videoludica, ai suoi produttori, direttori, sviluppatori, ma sopratutto ai suoi compositori.

Making-of   Crisis Core began development as a PSP port of the FInal Fantasy VII Mobile Phone Japan-only game “Before Crisis”. Hajime Tabata, event Director for Monster Rancher 2, and the creator of “Before Crisis” was chosen as director of the port. It would also be produced by Hideki Imaizumi, the score by Takeharu Ishimoto, written by Kazushige Nojima, and art designed by Yoshihiro Imaizumi. Soon into production of the port, however, when it was decided that the port was going to center around the mythical character of Zack, they opted to create a brand-new game instead. They titled this new project “Before Crisis Core” and eventually shortened it to “Crisis Core”, and drew upon the artwork and back story left over from the development of Final Fantasy VII. Despite having plenty of backstory for FF7 filled in with this game, they initially wanted to include more, but were restricted by the size of the PSP’s UMD’s. Much of Cloud’s involvement was cut in order to focus the game on Zack. The game's antagonist, Genesis, was brought over from the development of Dirge of Cerberus, and made the main baddie, in an attempt to cohesively connect the games. That and the Rock Star voice actor, “Gackt”, wanted a bigger role, so Producer Hideki Imaizumi gave him one. The team behind Crisis Core had some hurdles to get over in development. With Zack as the main protagonist, the regular “RPG” style of gameplay wasn’t going to work, and so they opted for a more fluid Action style of gameplay, with little exploration. There was some fear that such a departure from traditional gameplay and leveling would alienate fans, as well as concern over retconning certain elements of Final Fantasy 7. Square, at this time, was receiving a lot of backlash over the Animated short film, Last Order, and were trying to make up for it. Too late into development, the team realized that the player’s inability to skip cutscenes was a huge oversight that they couldn’t fix, and the luck-based leveling, meant to keep gameplay from growing stale, had its problems as well. Despite all this, Crisis Core’s demo was released in 2006 at Jump festa, and in may of 2007 Tabata stated that the game was 90% complete (Tabata loves his percentages). In september of that year, Crisis Core was released to Japanese audiences, and in the spring of 2008 it made its way to western shores. Note that 2007 would have been the 10th anniversary for FF7, and a lot was made of Crisis Core and other projects of Square’s Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, the others being Before Crisis, the shooter Dirge of Cerberus (our next game), and the CGI movie Advent Children. Crisis Core would be released with a bang, well reviewed by most (metacritic has it at 83/100), it ended up being the 6th biggest selling PSP game ever, selling 3.1 million copies worldwide. It’s definitely one of the more successful FInal Fantasy Sequels/Prequels, praised for its focus on the Final Fantasy VII backstory, although faulted sometimes for it’s DMW or “randomized as hell limit break system” RAHLBS, it remains a beloved addition to the FFVII universe, and has been called one of the most tear-inducing game of all time. Story   Crisis core takes place 7 years before the events of FFVII, and focuses the story around a Shinra Soldier named Zack Fair, as he explores the dark roots and experiments of Genetically modified Soldiers like himself.   It begins with Zack and his mentor Angeal being dispatched to support the Shinra war against the nation of Wutai, during which Angeal disappeared. Later it’s “revealed” that Angeal and another soldier named Genesis, have somehow betrayed shinra, and Zack and Sephiroth are sent to kill him.   At this point, Genesis and a dude named Dr. Hollander, throw a clone army Shinra’s way. Sephiroth attacks Genesis, and Zack goes off to find Hollander. Angeal, however, stops Zack from killing Hollander by knocking him into the abyss, as Hollander must be kept alive if they are to have any hope in finding a cure from being turned into a monster, something that happens when potential Soldiers are exposed to too much of Jenova’s genetic Material, an amount had by both Genesis and Angeal, as well as Sephiroth.   Zack wakes up, having fallen into Aerith’s church, and they spend some quality time together while Zack heals. When Zack returns to the ever-being-attacked Shinra building, he is convinced to side with his friend Angeal, who has become disillusioned with Genesis. But once again, Angeal disappears, and Zack is ordered somewhere new, Modeoheim, where Genesis was last seen. On route he meets a young Cloud Strife, and their brief friendship begins. Zack does end up fighting Genesis, but Genesis throws himself into a Mako Reactor in the end.   On that same trip, Zack finds Angeal is fusing with his own clones, being overtaken by the monster inside of him, and eventually Zack is forced to kill him, inheriting his mentor’s sword in the wake of his death.   After all of this, despite the fact that Genesis’s clones still fight Shinra, Angeal’s have become some sort of protector for Zack and Aerith. Still in search of answers ;regarding Genesis’s whereabouts, Zack, Sephiroth, and shinra troops that include Cloud, go to investigate the Nibelheim Reactor. And it’s here that Sephiroth finds out about the experiments that created him, and he goes absolutely fucking nuts, destroys a town, and attempts to take Jenova’s body. Zack fails to stop him, and in a crazy feat of strength, after being stabbed by a huge fucking sword, Cloud throws Sephiroth into the lifestream below the reactor.   Later, Zack finds himself and a very weakened Cloud in Hojo’s lab, as part of the Jenova experiments. So he freaks out, takes cloud, and gets the fuck out of there. This causes Shinra to pursue Zack and Cloud ruthlessly (Cloud, because he’s the last experiment to hold Sephiroth’s cells, who is the one who reacted with the most stability with Jenova’s cells).   Hollander tries to get Cloud, but Zack makes quick work of him, and aligns himself with Dr. Lazard, who is turning into an Angeal Clone, and sends Zack to go to Banora to defeat Genesis. After a super-monstrous Genesis is killed, Zack returns to Cloud and finds a note from Aerith that revealed a 4 year gap that took place between the incidents at Nibelheim, and him waking in Hojo’s lab. With Shinra in hot pursuit, Zack attempts to flee with cloud, and ends up sacrificing himself for cloud in leigh of hundreds of attacking shinra troops. Shinra leaves without cleaning up the scene, and Zack shares his last moments with Cloud, and like Angeal once gave him the Buster sword, so to does Zack pass the sword to Cloud.

This official hat trick mark of our podcast is a fresh new mix of styles, incorporating classical orchestras (covering video game music, no less), sprinklings of salsa and latino flavor, electro-pop, underground livehouse rock (courtesy of some performers from the IRO IRO bi-monthly event in Tokyo--hosted by our good promoter pal Tom Melesky), hip-hop, and remixed dance jams. The closer tune for today's show is from Murkdaddyflex, who's a trained instrumentalist, and a creative crate digger who offered up his tune "Java."  There's some koto playing in the background near the 1:20 mark, and it's a sweet tune.  All of his work is free for your downloading pleasure.  His site is murkdaddy.flex.bandcamp.com Special thanks go out to T.O.
