In today's episode Chris brings us the celebrated remake of an iconic JRPG, Final Fantasy VII Remake. Released in 2020, developed and published by Square Enix, this turn based/action RPG is a reimagining of the 1997 classic that brought JRPGs to the West in a big way on the original PlayStation. While Final Fantasy VII on it's own would make for a great episode, we wanted to focus on it's new music, deeply embellished arrangements from the past, or wildly reinterpreted and mixed tracks supported by modern instrumentation throughout. Most of the music was originally composed for Final Fantasy VII by Nobuo Uematsu primarily, with new arrangements and compositions by Shotaro Shima, Yasunori Nishiki, Masashi Hamauzu, and Naoyuki Honzawa selected for today's episode.

In today's episode Joshua brings us a peculiar game from the Super Famicom with Ihatovo Monogatari (roughly translated "Ihatovo Stories"), a 1993 adventure developed and published by Hect and unreleased outside of Japan. In modern times a fansub has been released making it playable in the West, but those fortunate enough to have encountered it as an import rental in the 90s would have quite a tale of their own to share... With music is composed by Tsukasa Tawada, you're likely in for a real treat if you're a fan of SNES era game music with this lost gem.

In today's episode Joshua, Chris, and Laura bring us tracks that get us jazzed up and ready to go and punch cars while snowboarding down city streets. Classic bangers, new hotness, chiptune rock, and some unsuspectingly hype songs make a great mix to help you power through the day. There's plenty here for everyone and hopefully it's something new for your ears this week.
