Echoes of Betrayal, Light of Redemption hits the interwebs today; the latest (14th) album produced by the folks at OverClocked Remixes. In their words:
OverClocked ReMix is an organization dedicated to the appreciation, preservation, and interpretation of video game music. Its primary focus is ocremix.org, a website featuring hundreds of free fan arrangements, information on game music and composers, resources for aspiring artists, and a thriving community of video game music fans.
I’ve listened to many of their remixes, but the epic nature of the Final Fantasy and RPG series really lends itself to some serious awesomeness and are by far my favorites. The fact that this particular remix (3 discs total) revolves around FFIV (FFII during its initial SNES release in the US) only adds to it’s epic-ness. It was the first FF game to have more than 4 playable characters; the first to use an active battle system. The game itself has been remixed several times for handheld platforms and should be in the gaming library of anyone who considers themselves an RPG fanatic (including this geek, who has it on SNES, GBA and PS).
My torrent just finished downloading, so I’m gonna plug in and give it a listen. Enjoy the trailer below and get the torrent from their website:
