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. Since the last post, our group completed Heavensward and Stormblood … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Triumph (Final Fantasy XIV)
I’m surprised I’ve never written about this song or this game. I think on a certain level I just assumed it happened a long time ago, back when the site first started. Turns out: nope! So here we go. Unite, … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Unite, Descend (Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles)

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)
There’s just something about the squishy noises at the start of this song that get me, you know? Metroid Prime seemed like a huge risk at the time of its release. You want to take a trusted Nintendo franchise and … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Menu Theme (Metroid Prime)
