Fysis Oikein Eidolon

Now here’s a song I started a good while ago and finally finished it: Fysis Oikein Eidolon!

It’s a remix of the F.O.E. battle theme in Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth called…F.O.E. (surprise!). In Persona Q, the abbreviation stands for Fysis Oikein Eidolon, which is pseudo-Greek for “Holy shit, what the hell is that?” or something…I think~

I have to wonder why they invented a different name for that abbreviation in this game since it already stands for (depending on where you live) Formido Oppugnatura Exsequens or Foedus Obrepit Errabundus (actual Latin) in the Etrian Odyssey games…I guess the Persona people are just too hip to roll with the standards?

As for the video, I took some time to change things up a bit. I wanted to keep it simple and yet I still hit a few obstacles along the way…but at least I think it looks better now~

 

Next up we have a remake of a song from 2011 that still seems to attract some attention (not a LOT…it’s not the Fire Emblem song, just so you know). I’m eager to hear what you think about it~

Night of the Skeleton

It’s the spookiest time of the year again, so brace yourself for this year’s Halloween Mix: Night of the Skeleton!

Aside from the ominous intro and some sound effects, the song is actually pretty upbeat. But that’s to be expected from funky songs such as Bonetrousle (Undertale), Spooky Scary Skeletons (by Andrew Gold) and Gruntilda’s Lair (Banjo Kazooie; you remember how Gruntilda was a skeleton in the sequel? that counts!). Add some Betus Blues (Super Meat Boy) and there you go. I always wanted to remix Betus Blues in some way, I like that song a lot.

I’m making it a tradition that I’m super lazy for the Halloween video and basically only put the thumbnail. I guess I should at least tell you when which song plays:

0:00 ominous intro with Flowey laugh
0:06 Bonetrousle
1:18 Spooky Scary Skeletons
2:31 Betus Blues
3:30 Gruntilda’s Lair
4:02 Bonetrousle
4:50 Spooky Scary Skeletons

 

I’ll see you again in 2 weeks. Until then: Happy Spaghetti! (Happy Halloween!)

VG Arch Rivals Vol. 3

Everything went exactly as planned, so I was able to release VG Arch Rivals Vol. 3 today, as announced:

What the preview doesn’t show you, are the hidden bonus songs

  • no voice versions of Pit vs Dark Pit and Star Fox vs Star Wolf
  • Porky’s Solo
  • Faces of Evil (CD-i Link vs CD-i Ganon)

which you can’t (shouldn’t be able to) get any other way. All of the songs have been re-rendered in max quality as usual, because you only deserve the best. Except for Ness vs Porky (additional drums), there haven’t been any noteworthy changes to the songs this time.

As for the download, I bought you guys 1,000 free downloads, after that I’ll leave it at 1€ like all the other albums. The 200 free downloads I get every month are simply not enough, you see! In general I decided that I’ll leave single songs like Ultimate Elemental Being available for free and the rest is gonna be the minimum price, that seems to work nicely.

So, be fast and get that album while it’s still free! Experience shows that even 1,000 free downloads are gone rather quickly. Move!

Here’s the release video:

 

Next up is the next special…yes, you know what time it is: time for this year’s Halloween Mix! This year we have Night of the Skeleton, and let me spoil that much: it will have Bonetrousle.
