In September of 2010, game music arrangement community Overclocked Remix released the first installment of what was planned to be a five-part album inspired by Final Fantasy V, titled “The Fabled Warriors“. “Volume I: WIND” was released by director Shariq “DarkeSword” Ansari with nine tracks, touching upon the themes of several of the game characters. Now, five and a half years later, “Volume II: WATER” has been released.
Again featuring an additional nine tracks, the second installment features music from Darkesword himself, as well as fellow OCR arrangement artists such as Brandon Strader, Sixto Sounds and more. Ansari goes on to promise that the timeframe between this volume and the next won’t take nearly so long as the last one.
“Now that WATER is finally out, we’re going to move on to putting together Volume III: FIRE. I’ve got big plans, and while it would be irresponsible of me to promise a release date, I will say that after everything I’ve learned about running all these albums over the years, things are going to move along at a better pace. Keep an eye out, and in the meantime, enjoy The Fabled Warriors: Volume II: WATER.” – Darkesword
You can download Volume II: WATER as well as Volume I: WIND on the album’s official Overclocked Remix website.
