Before I start, I do hope that you enjoy my relatively new attempts at making something a little more interesting in the background while FamiTracker is running and the music is playing. In the end, it probably just looks like a weird representation of my face spinning wildly for no apparent reason but I do hope to extend on this in orders of magnitude to improve the viewing experience if you do happen to come across these. Maybe some nice animated textures and different backgrounds perhaps.
Returning to the music itself, I adore the grungy style from the Sega Genesis and especially so with the incredible Phantasy Star IV OST. I never actually played a lot of the game itself - I think I played up until and including the first boss and then stopped for some reason. I believe that it was included on the Sega Mega Drive Collection for the Xbox 360 but it's not on the list of backwardly compatible titles for the Xbox One it seems.
It's very much that old-school RPG where you control a team that is likely attempting to stop a threat that may take over the world and/or destroy it entirely. I don't know the premise of Phantasy Star IV and would not want to spoil it for any players who may want to try it but the JRPGs of this era tended to stay relatively stereotypical.
It was fun transcribing this song that plays during the intro of the game down to 4 channels and it translates really well. It's likely down to the simple melody but it is incredibly catchy for the two minutes that it plays.
I hope you enjoy this rendition and as always, let me know what you think in the comments below!
All the best.
