  Well, you saw our unwrapping video yesterday, and now we have our review of the album to go along with the official street date in Japan. Final Fantasy Gaiden -Four Warriors of Light- features Naoshi Mizuta, who most people know for his work on Final Fantasy XI, but don’t let that lead you down the path to thinking Four Warriors of Light sounds anything like Final Fantasy XI.

  This soundtrack is distinctly retro, yet modern, if that makes any sense. I think we have arranger and synthesizer operator Mitsuto Suzuki to thank for the amazing quality sounds here, but Mizuta really shines with his upbeat themes for this lighthearted adventure.

  See what I mean in our review of the Final Fantasy Gaiden -Four Warriors of Light- Original Soundtrack after the jump. (more…)

  OSVchannel: Go Retro As We Unwrap The The Final Fantasy Gaiden -Four Warriors of Light- Original Soundtrack

  Well, I admit I wasn’t staying on top of the game or the soundtrack for Final Fantasy Gaiden -Four Warriors of Light-, but the Square Enix Music Sampler CD Vol. 4 that we reviewed a few weeks ago changed that. I’ve been looking forward to Naoshi Mizuta’s retro soundtrack ever since, and the release date is right around the corner in Japan.

  We got our hands on the soundtrack several days ahead of the Japanese release date, and I thought it’d be fun to go through the packaging and artwork on our OSVchannel on YouTube. To clear up the Japanese and US release dates that I was unsure about in the video, the game was released on 10/29/09 in Japan, while there is no US release date announced at this time. The soundtrack is due out on 11/04/09 in Japan, and it’s truly some great stuff.  Probably my favorite from Mizuta yet.

  Join us for our brief unwrapping adventure of the game’s soundtrack and tell us if you like this sort of content on OSV and whether or not you’ll be picking up the Final Fantasy Gaiden -Four Warriors of Light- Original Soundtrack when it’s released.
