DISC 1
Disc1 track17- track21 commentary!
【Mr. Yamanaka comments;】
Good evening, Yamanaka is here.
How has everybody been doing on a 3 days of national-holiday on the last weekend?
Did you guys played “THE LAST REMNANT” for the last 3 days in a row??
Mr. Sekito, as some of you may know, has just had a live concert with the band “Star Onions” for the Fan Festival of “Final Fantasy XI Vana'diel Festival 2008”. The festival was held at JCB hall in Tokyo on Nov 22nd, which the ticket had already sold out before 22nd Nov.
I imagine that Mr. Sekito would have done MC for his live concert, including an announcement of the release for the soundtrack of “THE LAST REMNANT”?!
Mr. Yagi on the other hand, is on the way to a meeting right now for his latest whereabouts.
Today, we will be introducing the commentary of the tracks for a field part, city part of the game.
■17. The Known World (Music: Yamanaka)
【Mr. Yamanaka comments;】
The track is for the music of a world map mode. I structured this track in small parts, like a sound jingle, for the player to have a rest in between playing battle and their ongoing quests. The guitar part of this track is played by Mr. Sekito himself. I edited the guitar part on reverse with no hesitation, respectably. Mr. Sekito and I actually co wrote another track together, but this particular track became an outtake for the soundtrack and I m thinking that the track might not be able to make it to the world, ever.
■18. The City of heroes
【Mr. Sekito comments;】
The track is from the city of Athlum. The background of the city of Athlum is that the People in the city have been living in a peaceful life. And economy of the city is steady and still is growing even though the territory itself has been passed on by the generations of marquis of Athlum, such as the father of David and a young marquis ”David Nassau”. I wrote the track with my intention of the music being not too subtle to describe the background of the city of Athlum well enough.
I wrote the female choir part to express the feeling of David who has an admiration towards his mother.
■19.A Friendly Ear
【Mr. Sekito comments】
The track is from a city part of the game when the player enters pub. The track is on medium tempo and it has its warmth to the track but occasionally melancholy feeling in the track.
I played an acoustic guitar part on this track. I m pleased about the finished version of this track that deliver a rather better mood for the game.
■19.An Open Mind
■20.Fair Judgement
【Mr. Sekito comments】
The track is from a city part of the game when the player enters guild hall.
I wrote this track to imagine the music that is played in a comfortable indoor environment. During the game playing, I guess that the player can negotiate with all sorts of matter in guild hall. I recommend the player just to listen to the music and enjoy the ride.
