Reviving Golden Sun (Album) - Ultra-realistic covers

[@straypaper]

Nintendo: "If we make GS4, would all of you come back? after these 15 years?" Fans: "Come back?" "We never left."

[@briangayle6892]

I want a conclusion to Alex's plans. What does he intend to do.

[@kithkin01]

dark dawn is trash tho

[@ariannahamel9867]

I am happy to see that Golden Sun still lives in the heart of many! To those who played and remembers, these realistics are masterpieces and does honor to the originals.

[@FelixEarth]

I'll be there. Golden Sun is my favourite game ever and I'm still waiting for a future title

[@TrillingDragons]

Thanks!! And absolutely yes, I'm still waiting a sequel xD

A Full Moon In Garoh touched my spirit. Helped me tap into an emotion, vibrating my empathetic spirit. To still be living is to still serve a purpose. I live for those who didn't stick around long enough to be loved. Think about your purpose. It is driven behind what you value most. May the gift of love be shared, as nature plants seeds for the world of tomorrow.

[@jacoboniaplay]

I love how Sheba's theme goes from loneliness to contentment to strength and power. I always imagined her having a sense of found family with Felix, Jenna, and Piers, and growing in confidence and purpose over her journey. I really want to see who she became in the Dark Dawn era.

Oh my lord, thank you

Ugh, I can’t believe I missed this in October. Adding this to my playlist asap. If ever there was a “shut up and take my money” moment for me, it would be the remaster of the first 2 gba games.

Estoy terminando de escuchar el álbum. Dios, ojalá hubiera más gente dispuesta a hacer este tipo de trabajos para esta franquicia. Es bueno que haya gente como vos, Javier, que nos brinda el fruto de su talento para disfrutar estas maravillosas composiciones de nuestro querido Maestro Sakuraba con tan gran calidad. Espero que tu trabajo siga adelante en esto de la música, pues tienes madera para edto. THE GOLDEN SUN WILL SHINE AGAIN!!! 🌞

Gracias Mike!! Realmente agradecido de tus bellas palabras 🤗✨ Yo siempre agradecido de poder leer comentarios tan enriquecedores y que impulsan a seguir haciendo lo que uno más ama hacer. Fuerte abrazo! ☀️

I agree wholeheartedly. Not enough people have experienced this game

[@classyrobot5648]

5 months ago? Feels like people are finally talking about this masterpiece of a game. There won't be a fourth game, I'm not that naive, but the games already out are fantastic. The story, characters, gameplay... and the astoundingly beautiful music. Thank you for this.

[@TrillingDragons]

Well, to be fair, I posted this 5 months ago because before I was too young to ever know how to do this xD Maybe that's why it's been resurging lately, because all of us that played it now have the skill or the equipment to do something in youtube with it hahah either way, I love it. Hope this game gets the light it deserves!!

[@LivingGuy484]

I hope one day, we can see a remastered version of the first two games But, even if not, I'm happy to still hear the music from time to time. I feel as though I can cherish it forever

[@TrillingDragons]

I'd also love a remaster!!

[@jessesambrano3791]

Well they just added the first two games to nintendo switch online so maybe if they get some new fans they might just remake them. I can only dream

GOLDEN SUN is the most underrated JRPG it’s if Chrono Trugger and either FF or Fire Emblem merged together and became one game

[@SkippytWalrus]

Golden Sun OG is actually the second game I got ahold of. The Lost Age is actually the game I have the most nostalgia for, and personally, I adore the globe trotting antics in TLA as opposed to 1, but I have more nostalgia for them. It was a really fun game and the two games together are the most tragic case of underrated games to me. Especially because my childhood consisted of Half the game and I still appreciate them both dearly.

[@boomingbob1579]

@@SkippytWalrus I issued to play that game when I could emulate it in my phone but barely anyone talks about it as JRPG except Sea of Stars in reviews but even then it has Chrono Trigger but switch dud add the two games it’s a v underrated and in the shadow JRPG

[@SkippytWalrus]

@@boomingbob1579 i love the djinni class system as I call it and honestly think it has potential, imagine in a spiritual successor we could eventually change the elements of our "Adepts" and have access to different classes for each character (maybe themed around physical classes and magical classes for your physical and magical characters like in GS) but that's just wishful thinking. And I might like FF5 and bravely default a lot.

[@boomingbob1579]

@@SkippytWalrus I was hurt when Issac came back to smash just to be an assist trophy because they game is v unique and different would be nice to get a new game but just having it on the switch is good enough for now I would be v good to have a game similar to it which Sea of Stars is semi

[@SkippytWalrus]

@@boomingbob1579 it hurt me when they choose Richter over Alucard for smash too. Plus the exploration was actually pretty cool in GS which i haven't seen much of in other JRPGs of the era. The tales games tried but i think GS pulled it off better. Honestly we were all kinda spoiled in dungeon and level design from platformers and Zeldas of the era too.

[@jensgur]

Thank you for doing this. It really sounds fairhful to the Originals. I hope someday you remastered the whole OST. No pressure tho😂

[@TrillingDragons]

Whoa! That would take some time 😂 But I'm kind of trying to do that; there's this initiative to make a fanmade remake of the game, and they contacted me to try to make at least the first zones of the game playable, and I offered my music to it, so let's see what happens xD

aww, man, there's no cover for the Elemental Stars track in this; that's my all-time favorite TT_TT

[@TrillingDragons]

That one is coming in my next album 🧡

[@SylverMage]

Those gorgeous trills in Page One are magificent. I can easily imagine this in the background of the OG game, even without updated graphics. As it was, the old GBA game had truly beautiful sound, and hearing it reimaged like this is a treat. And I was delighted to hear the lovely and sombre Forest's Requiem! I feel like the tranquil horror of Kolima was understated because of the GBA graphics, but I mean. People. Turning into trees. Trees that are dying and determined to take the population with them. It's pretty fucked up, if you think about it. (P.S. My favourite has and always will be 'A little friendship', or Ivan's theme :D Just, you know. If you're taking suggestions.)

[@TrillingDragons]

Thanks for your words!! I worked really hard on those trills hahah And, you know what, you are right lol I don't know if maybe it was because I was a child, but now that I think of it, that part of the story was really dark. And yes! I'm taking suggestions! I've already put Ivan Theme on the planning of the new album.

[@elysiryuu]

You did a great job, especially with the first theme, for it evokes a key moment whenever you ran the game. I wonder if you played the game yourself? Most of these songs have a good vibe, yet I think could add songs that constituted defining moments in the game. One of such themes is the song “Marching Forward with Determination” from the TLA. When this song plays, it is when Isaac and Felix meet each other and form the ultimate team to reach the game’s final destination. Listen to it if you haven't! Kudos!

[@TrillingDragons]

I'm a great fan of the triology! So yes, I'm well acquainted with its OST :D I'm reserving other key songs for other albums; it would be a shame to burn all the good themes in the first one, don't you think? ;) Thanks for your all your suggestions!!

[@TrillingDragons]

@@ravravrav ohhh i get it hahah well, as for the hardware, I used my digital piano and midi controller with some faders. There I recorded everything in FL Studio, where then I edited each instrument to make each note more precise and with the articulation I wanted. After that, I put in some effects, like reverbs, compression, eq, etc. And finally, export each song, mush them together using audacity, and then using the resulting audio in videobolt for creating the animated video. That's kind of it, although there are a lot of other nuances and details xD Glad to know you are interested! Do you compose too?

[@ravravrav]

@@TrillingDragons Thanks for the detailed reply! Yes I do compose too but I am mostly a guitarist however I written parts for other instruments before. If you'd like you can check the band called Issel on the youtube - I composed most stuff we played there. Also if you go on my channel there is a "We shall sail together" cover which I rearranged recorded mixed and mastered. Also I have one more original project in the works which hopefully will be released this year :)
