 Hey everyone, welcome back to another video. So today I'm going to be showcasing Dragon Quest XI's first real mod. This is a mod for the Steam version of the game, and it's called the Orchestra Overhaul Mod. It's a mod that takes the former MIDI soundtrack of the game and it replaces it with the Symphonic Suite by Koichi Sugiyama that came on the CD if you bought the special edition of Dragon Quest XI. Due to, like, legal reasons, I guess they didn't want to include the original soundtrack, but this really restores the soundtrack back to the way it's supposed to be. So we're going to test it out and see how well it works. So right now you can probably tell- I'm going to let you listen to it real quick. Yeah, you can probably tell that that is the orchestra soundtrack, and it sounds pretty good actually. It sounds like the CD version. So I think we'll zoom around a little bit and check to see how the other CDs sound. So right now we're in Galopolis, and this is a typical town music. So let's try actually first going to the Inn and waiting until night and seeing how the music sounds then. I want to see if it works. It's really expensive. Alright, so we're going to rest until night. Sounds pretty good to be honest. Yeah, I think that was a pretty good showcase of that one, of that song. To be honest, it actually does sound really similar to the MIDI version. They did a pretty good job with the MIDI actually. I have to admit. But right now I want to let's zoom somewhere where we'll have different music. Let me think. What's a different place with different music? Ah, here we go. Let's go to Porto Valor and go to this casino to see how the music sounds there. Okay, darlings, I'll see you when you're finished here in town. I need to go and see a man about a... Ciao for now! Came over him all of a sudden. Don Rodrigo lives in that grand old place over yonder. Let's go and say hello, shall we? And don't go mentioning my royal past, will you? There's no point in causing a fuss. As far as he's concerned, I'm just his old pal Rob. Let's keep it that way, all right? Yeah, I didn't realize that I had a story event to take care of here. So, yeah, the nighttime music is pretty much the same for all the towns, but I do think that the casino has its own music. Check it out. That already sounds a lot better than the original version. Wow. Sounds really great. Wow. I think I'll keep these. I actually keep all five of them. Damn. All right, I think that's enough gambling for one day. So, yeah, the music in the casino sounds really great. It was less noticeable over on Galopolis, but I think that it's more noticeable here. So we'll head... Let me think what other place... Oh, yeah, battle music. Let's go and fight some monsters and see how the music sounds compared to that. Let's go attack some monsters and see... Oh, wow. Listen to the overall music. It sounds even better than, like, ever. Honestly, this is how the game was meant to be played. Like, you know, the way they released it with the MIDI soundtrack, it sounds like an Nintendo DS game sometimes. This sounds like an epic, like, sort of venture, you know? It sounds really great. Look, listen to that. Yeah, that sounds really awesome. Like, I'm so glad that this mod exists, because, like, honestly, the MIDI soundtrack does not do this music justice at all. This game, like, the scale of this game, like, the epic scale of it. So let's fight the Slime Knight real quick. Got him. Oh, what is that? Like, a purple Slime Knight? Even the music sounds better. Listen to that. Like, it's just so high quality. Now, that red Slime... That purple one, whatever. What's the deal with it? Uh-uh. Oh, it's just... A snooty Slime Knight. I haven't fought these guys yet, so... Wow. Alright, so I actually want to show off another area. If you haven't been to Dundercil yet, and, um... Well, it has some pretty good music, and I want to check out how it sounds. So let's go check it out. Here are the Runes of Dundercil. We'll run right up here, and just listen to that inside its symphonic glory. Wow, that sounds so fantastic compared to the MIDI version. Like, honestly, like, it's so nice. This is really how the game should have been, you know? Like, it should not have launched with a MIDI soundtrack that, like, belongs on Nintendo DS. It should have launched with this epic soundtrack. That sounds just great. Yeah, that's a pretty good showcase of the mod so far. I've noticed that there aren't any real issues. It hasn't been cutting out, or, like, getting messed up or anything so far. I mean, it could happen. There's a potential for it to happen, because, you know, this is the first Dragon Quest mod, really. There's that special K mod that's coming out, but it's not really, like, concrete as a mod right now. This is a mod, and this is, you know, a mod that everybody has been wanting. So, yeah, the Steam version of Dragon Quest XI is the definitive version, you know why? Because you can put in the orchestral soundtrack and get the game the way it was supposed to be with its English translation. So, uh, let's actually go to the main menu. Because the title screen, they even, they even stuck the orchestral soundtrack in. Actually, they even got it here in the part where you select your adventure, which is pretty damn cool. So, yeah, I hope that was a good showcase of the orchestral mod. I actually did a little tutorial on how to install it. I would recommend checking that out if you're interested in putting this in your Steam version of the game. So, yeah, overall, it's a great mod. I have not noticed any issues. If any issues do pop up, I might update the description of the video and mention them so that the people behind this mod can try to address that. But overall, I would definitely recommend installing this, and I think it will definitely make your enjoyment of your experience with Dragon Quest XI more enjoyable. So, yeah, thanks for watching. I hope you guys enjoy the video, and I'll see you next time.
