Noriko Matsueda and Takahito Eguchi: Kuon: Memories of Waves and Light
This mostly came easy. I think I stopped a few times but I was still able to get out a fair bit for one listen. I think this is due to not focusing so much on what was happening and … Continue reading

Final Fantasy II Pixel Remaster
This is another review that took far too long to finish. I wrote the majority of it a while ago and then sat on it since. Did some more writing a few days ago, then spent somewhere close to seven … Continue reading

Junya Nakano: Guadosalam
One listen for this one. However, there were a few pauses toward the end. This was in part due to being a bit thrown off by this song not looping. Normally when it comes to game soundtracks the song will … Continue reading

Mitsuto Suzuki: The Divine Dream
One listen for this, but there was a restart as I paused the song in order to get distracted. Just more writing about what was happening and I think it kind of worked out. Not great, not bad; somewhere in … Continue reading

Masashi Hamauzu: Final Fantasy XIII-2 Overture
One listen for this one. I haven’t done much, if any writing today and wanted to capture something. This describes the song well enough, but also doesn’t give much of an idea as to how it sounds and progresses. Masashi … Continue reading

Masashi Hamauzu: Mysteries Abound
This was written over two listens. I was aiming to talk more about imagery but that didn’t quite come through. I think I slipped into review mode once more. That said, I think I did an acceptable job in terms … Continue reading

Junya Nakano: The Summoning
This was written over six listens. “The Summoning” is quite short, but also quite complete in its composition. It gets across what it needs to and does so without wasting a moment. When I first started I wasn’t sure as … Continue reading

Junya Nakano: The Void
This was written over two listens about forty minutes apart. I’m not sure as to why the large gap and I don’t think it helped. I found writing about this song difficult and I think that may be due to … Continue reading

Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster
This one came easy. I knocked out a draft faster than I expected with little struggle. Spent a few lazy hours editing this today, again with little struggle. I think some of it reads well. Overall the review could be … Continue reading
Nobuo Uematsu: Main Theme
Six listens for this one, though it feels like many, many more. This one was a real challenge, partly due to being rather tired. I think that if I had spent time breaking down the song and working on the … Continue reading
