Unsung Heroes (Various RPGs project) - Rexy's Perspective

OverClocked Remix's first project for the year is out! And you'll be pleased to know that I'm involved with it :D

"Unsung Heroes" is slightly different from others as there's not one game focus, but actually a genre focus - specifically, underdogs in the RPG/adventure game genre. A whole different concept to go for, but we at OCR like seeing some representation for lesser known games as much as the more popular ones, so I am glad that something like this managed to pull through.

I wasn't the lead arranger in either of the tracks I contributed to, but I did offer some piano services to them both, and so this vid has me discussing both of the tracks I was involved on. It was fun getting to be involved with this gang of musicians, and so I hope when you guys hear the project tou enjoy it as much as everyone did putting it all together :D

Other tracks involved in the vid were ilp0's "Weeping Willow", Brandon Strader's "One Ring" and avaris's "Stockholm".

@oceansandrew I had no idea you were on a different youtube page xD You get mad props for making this album happen, so feel free to sit down with a martini somewhere :D

Interesting choice of games. Considering they get more and more obscure as you travel westward from their mainland, this soundtrack seems very niche. I'm on and off when it comes to RPGs. I've recently found myself traveling the outside of Midgar in Final Fantasy VII this week for the first time, so my experience with RPGs is minmal to say the least. I'll listen to these tracks, though.

@crashpro3 Glad to hear back from you!

To be fair, though I had played a handful of RPGs in my times, I hadn't played ANY of the games listed yet (though I had been meaning to go through Lufia for some time). But who knows, maybe this may expose you to something that you might feel to check out :D

The trailer is all like "BRANDON STRADER IS THE UNSUNG HERO"
