FF4 "Mysidia" Orchestral New Age Remix

[@kairon156]

Masterful, you've captured the shivers and unique pitch changes are delightful to listen to..

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks so much! :D

[@IchibanCourtesan]

I've been using this song as thematic Meracydian music in my FFXIV RP for like a year now, and I want to thank you for it. This is awesome.

[@RebeccaETripp]

I'm glad you found it useful! Thanks!

[@Aurachan787]

This is such a cool take on the Mysidia theme! I really like how mystical it feels, which is perfect for a town of mages. Nice job!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks again! I really wanted to have a pseudo-religious quality!

[@DeQuimet]

While sounding less comical than the original, I think this arrangement provides more mystery and pressure from the townsfolk who Cecil stumble upon. I'd feel greater fear walking in a village full of people I harmed with this soundtrack.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks! ^_^v

[@ThomasMHead]

(Listens to this again.) (Falls asleep.) (Wakes up on the outskirts of town with an old woman cackling at me. I am transformed into a piggy.) "...Hey!??" 🐖

[@RebeccaETripp]

Old Penny can't control herself. She thinks everyone is "that dark knight".

[@Alwaysgrim]

❤️ memories

[@tonightiwillsee]

WOWW THIS IS GREAT!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you! ^_^

[@supervideogamer3607]

Cool

[@7thangelad586]

I’ve always both loved and feared the whimsical nature of this theme. The unsettling undertones you’ve created make one feel exactly how Cecil must have felt upon entering the town again, not as conquerer but as conquered and seeking mercy from a people who have every to withhold it. I wish FFIV would get the same Netflix treatment as Castlevania, and I also wish you could be approached to cover the music for it.

[@RebeccaETripp]

That would be the best thing possible! Thanks! ^_^ (That show is so neat.)

[@robertfaler1947]

A FF4 (6 would be a good idea too) animated series could be awesome, but I would expect better treatment than Castlevania. The first season only had 4 episodes and we've been waiting over a year for the second.

[@Shadowwand]

Especially after some of the magical retribution foisted on Cecil as he wanders the town.

[@carryingthegun]

This is a really good take.

[@likeanuuk6612]

i wish a game dev hired you

[@calaza100]

well, that's the plan... once I have enough money. Though I think by then she will already have become the new Nobuo Uematsu and won't be available anymore

[@Chokoboh]

I'm getting Bravely Default vibes from the pic.

[@RebeccaETripp]

That was an inspiration! :D

[@mikeprado30]

Wow! That's amazing :D Sounds so psychedelic and also so mystic :) I remember the impact that had in myself when the ship with Cecil, Yang, Edward and Rydia got trapped under Leviathan's rage and after that Cecil gets awakened on the desert area near Mysidia. And the surprise to see how the people despised him so much (even poisoning, turning him into a Frog and others :P ). But also was so touching to see the forgiving heart of the Elder, and not happy with that, giving you the VALUABLE partnership of Palom and Porom (I love to use them, and I LOVED when they became usable again in the GBA version after the Bab-il Giant stuff :D ).

[@SorenKyojin]

Wow It's reminds me Black Desert, It could be a mix between Polly's Forest and Altinova or Valencia

[@kevinstachovak8842]

Cecil was able to purge the darkness within. This was my favorite part of this game, when he rejected his dark nature and embraced that which is good and sacred!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Top three moments of the game for sure! ^_^

[@TheCreepypro]

this is why I love going through your backlog there is always something I have yet to listen to that is just waiting to blow me away and this is no exception I love the style of music you are using here because it is so fitting to what happens in game and the instruments you chose are a feast for my ears I delight in every sound what a magnificent soundscape I enjoy many types of music but I always find myself coming back to you for a bit of musical rest so I can center myself once again I look forward to exploring more of your music and finding more gems like this

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks again! ☕🍪

[@TheCreepypro]

@@RebeccaETripp your most welcome

[@kamaryukaiser8772]

This is a mesmerizing part of the game because of the loneliness and mystery of this new place that is discovered. This is where I was really pulled into the spirit of Final Fantasy 4. Nice touch to this remix. It keeps the spirit of the song while increasing the focus of this epic story. Great work!

[@RebeccaETripp]

I can relate to that. I think it really takes off there!

[@Valnuss]

I havn't really played FF4 but I can relate to your feelings from her other songs. She can catch the spirit of the songs really good.

[@debelmeis2311]

This is perfect. Influencing my writing.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Awesome, thanks! :D

[@NostalgiaMan]

WOW Just WOW!!!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you. :')

[@WoodymC]

Fabulous! You probably knew how to tease me with these organ sounds, but the sitar is an extremely welcome addition here, too! :-) GREAT and much appreciated work, Rebecca.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks! ^_^ I'm fond of that tone.

[@zidkins]

This actually fits the tone of the game the first time you visit mysidia. Much more somber but still magical and ethereal. Maybe after Cecil’s transformation it could change to the original song much more whimsical and magical.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks for listening! ^_^

[@jasonball3496]

I feel like this is music I have never heard before, yet it also feels warmly familiar somehow? Very good.

[@BingBangPoe]

This arrangement reminds me of Legend of Legaia. Great job!

[@RebeccaETripp]

I like that soundtrack. ^_^ Thanks!

[@Duhemsounds]

This is the kind of track perfect for your style, magical and exotic, very good work :)

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you! ^_^v

[@jasonwilt3903]

Hey Rebecca, have you ever thought about making orchestrated/hylian chamber choir remixes of the LoZ OoT URA’s soundtrack? The project may be more or less dead but the soundtrack is amazing. Whole thing is on KZbin too.

[@RebeccaETripp]

I never thought about it. I'm not really familiar with it!

[@jasonwilt3903]

So it was meant to initially be a beta restoration mod for OoT, then the guys making it started wanting to do more than that, bit off more than they could chew, fought a bit, and the project imploded. In particular they were looking to sorta merge OoT’s world with ALttP. They had concept art for an OoT-lookalike Dark World. But the soundtrack was done superbly by the guy named nitroflasher. He took it down when things imploded but people reposted it on KZbin afterwards. New Dungeon Themes from URA - Temple of Light - Lakebed Grotto - Turtle Rock - Palace of Ice - Palace of Darkness - Palace of Souls - Palace of the Marsh - Palace of Earth - Palace of Wind - Palace of Thunder - and probably another one or two I’m forgetting.

[@israelromero1292]

Hola buenas días Rebeca y gracias por la música y solo música me relaja y te deseo más éxito para tu vida y por cierto esa foto fondo y la música combinación perfecta

[@RebeccaETripp]

Gracias por decir eso. Me divertí mucho creando esto.

[@Raphael0654]

MASTERPIECE...!

[@psycosulu]

Always loved Mysidia, happy and surprised to see your take on it. :)

[@RebeccaETripp]

^_^ It's an old favourite of mine as well.

[@jasperhighwind6119]

Sweet! More Tripping renditions!

[@balthezaar100]

Wonderful arrangement.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you! ^_^

[@shakilrahman9725]

Perfect as always, now do FFVI Shadow's theme!

[@RebeccaETripp]

I will at some point. ^_^ Thanks!

[@Soundole]

Definitely an effective transformation! Nice work :)

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks! ^_^

[@timpopsuperstar]

Super well done, you capture the mystique perfectly. I am such a big fan of ur ff4 interpretations, because so much of what you seek to convey, and eloquently describe in your write-ups, matches the same type of feelings and emotions that I got when playing the game for the first time as a child. There's something about the power of the music in that game that resonates on a deeper level which transcends space and time. This feels like one of your bolder takes on ff4 songs, and I think it's all the better for it. The eastern psychedelic vibes really help push the mystique, and the richness of the instruments as a whole help to transport the listener into the Mysidian realm as if they were right there with them. Lastly, the chanting, and heaviness of sound that accompanies it is such a nice addition to this song. It was upon hearing that where the song really spoke to me, and weaved a new layer of depth into the mythos behind the culture. Anyway, great work! Glad to see you posting new stuff again.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks. ^^ I had been super busy with the concert, but I can start regularly producing again soon.

[@timpopsuperstar]

thx for the reply. How was the concert? I tried watching it thru ur twitter link, but the sound is all buggy. :/ Also, I see you follow Something Classic, have u played Shadows of Adam? I am the art director for that game. We took a lot of inspiration from the old classics and tried to recreate the feeling you'd get from playing them as a kid or for the first time.

[@britennas-5838]

Sounds great, good one, Rebecca!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks so much!

[@jrod1382]

Awesome as always with your music hon :)

[@SunlethSky]

It's been a while since I heard your stuff (I think since I worked with you on Jenova) and my god, your work's improved so much. Atmospheric, and loving the use of subtle tempo changes here!

[@RebeccaETripp]

You changed your name! Thanks for saying so. ^^ I try to improve all the time.

[@SunlethSky]

Yep! Switched to orchestration more than harp arrangements so it felt fitting. :P You're doing an amazing job of improving all the time, that's for sure! I love the more...abstract vibe some of your new stuff like this has. It's inspiring, pls keep up what you're doing!! ^^

[@crowofcainhurst2236]

Mysidia always made me feel super uneasy. The very track alone gave off the vibe of "You're not welcome here." This piece is what I imagine walking into Mysidia in real life would feel like.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks! :D I'm glad it added to the aesthetic!

[@Endelite]

Funny, I feel very much at home with the original track.

[@towa-m4q]

最高!!

[@RebeccaETripp]

:'3

[@troypreston1998]

Nice

[@cameronedwards4893]

Light or dark Which side you choose Redemption or Blood Which path you choose Judgement comes Lost everything even self worth Paladin or Dark Knight Restart thy strength and start anew Which fate your sword follows

[@MegaZoidberg1]

Realmente esta hermoso

[@RebeccaETripp]

Gracias! ^_^

[@luiishu535]

Great arrangement! It sounds you like you used some black magic to make it. xD I recently transcribed the whole FF4 soundtrack (including all instruments). Let me know if you want some sheet music of it. It might come in handy if you decide to make any more covers from the game. ^^

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks! ^^ I'll keep that in mind.

[@dioxiz4458]

Would be 1000 time better if it had the pop pup sound

[@RebeccaETripp]

You mean the one that sounds like a voice? Like "whoop woo"?

[@cagnazzo82]

I've been looking for a decent remix of this song for a years... and it actually exists! Not decent. This is masterful! This is better than what I was looking for 😮

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you so much!
