There's sure a lot of status of, to steal and paraphrase Catt's phrase, Odin's Emotional Support Twink around town.

>^_^<

Huh. I was not expecting a dirge remix of. .... damn what IS this track. It's from at least one of the 2D pixel games, lol. I've heard it at Distant Worlds and it has a vocal mix on the potion albums. Idk. Listen, it's 2am, I'm gonna be kicking myself in the teeth later but fur now I'm just drawing full blanks.

It's one of the weirdest decisions Soken has ever made, but it's like the Overworld theme from the original FF. It also got used during the final chat with Clive and Josh's mom before she killed herself. (The track is "Bloodlines" on the OST.)

Like usually when Soken remixes old FF tracks there feels like some kinda purpose to it but I've never been able to figure this one out because it just feels really incongruous and took me out of every scene it was in, but I think it's also because I just have such strong childhood memories of it as being a happy adventuring song.

Also about the bit where they crash through the wall and everyone shows up, I had the briefest, happiest hope that we were gonna have a proper group/party go and storm the Mothercrystal together, and then it got dashed.

Like there are a lot of things I really did honestly enjoy about this game, but there are times when it's like... there was this great thing! This really good opportunity! Why didn't they take it?!

(And I get, like, story reasons for this one, as Ultima needed to talk to the brothers alone, but. Still.)
