Let it never be forgotten that Square Enix games tend to have soundtracks that inspire a lot of musicians and artists in the video game field, and certainly the arrangement communities. Jules Conroy, aka. FamilyJules7x is one such musician whose penchant for taking melodic VGM and turning it into rocking remixes has gained him some measure of distinction. Sure enough, he’s taken a significant portion of the soundtrack to Square Enix’s most recent offering, Octopath Traveler, and given it the rock/metal treatment in his soon-to-be release The Eightfold Road: Metal Arrangements from Octopath Traveler.
The two-disc album takes from composer Yasunori Nishiki’s compositions for Octopath Traveler and gives them full metal, rock and acoustic arrangements while staying true to the source material.
The Eightfold Road: Metal Arrangements from Octopath Traveler is currently for pre-order on Bandcamp and will release October 28th.
