I haven’t done a post about video game music since June? God, 2020 fucking sucks. That’s the synopsis. That’s the main takeaway. Let’s fix that by talking about the music in Genshin Impact. On the podcast, I made the bold … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Caelestinum Finale Termini (Genshin Impact)
When I’m working and I need to tune out everything around me, music is the go-to source. NieR Automata had several tracks that fit the bill, and this offering from Final Fantasy XIV’s latest patch is quickly becoming another favorite … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Return to Oblivion (Final Fantasy XIV)
Amidst these uncertain times, one of the few constants in my life right now has been our playthrough of Trails of Cold Steel III. I know how ludicrous that sentence sounds, but bear with me. We started the game back … Continue reading Music to My Ears: One-Way to the Netherworld
We’re playing through Trails of Cold Steel III over on our YouTube channel right now, and it’s been an interesting experience going through blind for the first time. In the past, I’d played the earlier games in the Trails series … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Spiral of Erebos
Another day, another Final Fantasy XIV post. This time we’re looking at the boss theme from Stormblood, which really grew on me as we progressed our way through that expansion.

I suppose this is a bit of a spoiler. But Kingdom Hearts III has been out for two months, and the screenshot (and subsequent art) of some kind of possessed/evil/Nobody version of Aqua leaked forever ago. We’ll get through this … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Anti-Aqua (Kingdom Hearts III)
The last post in this series was about Final Fantasy XIV, and so is this one. The difference is that between then and now, I’ve picked up the two expansions to the game (Heavensward and Stormblood) when they were on … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Fallen Angel (Final Fantasy XIV)
There’s a ton of quality music in Final Fantasy XIV. I’m a plebeian who’s only ever played the original Realm Reborn and not dipped my toes into Heavensward or Stormblood yet, but I love a ton of tracks from the … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Serenity (Final Fantasy XIV)
You’re not seeing double — I covered a similar but different theme last year. But since I purchased a Nintendo Switch over the weekend (figuring the only chance I have to play games is with a system that’s portable), I’m … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Menu Theme (Ys VIII)
