A remix of 'One Who Craves Souls'. This is perhaps my favourite song from Demon's Souls and because it's so good it was difficult to find a reason to arrange it. Recently I got some new samples though and that really gave me some confidence to try something. I didn't want to veer too far away from the original because it's such a powerful piece.

Jonathan Ashton different stories. The first flame isn't present in DeS

[@josiahyork8227]

Jonathan Ashton not really. They're considered two different IPs. That's like saying there's a lore connection between Armored Core and Dark Souls because they both have the moonlight greatsword, or King's Field and Dark Souls both have Seath.

[@RayRay-ep9zz]

+Josiah York WELL TECHNICLY THEY BOTH HAVE SOMEONE CALLED SEATH! I think....

[@josiahyork8227]

Ray Maelstrom Archdrake they do, but that doesn't create some magical lore bridge between the two games, which is my point entirely. They're their own separate games, separate universes, etc. Same applies to any of the games that are considered separate IPs.

I think this is, by far, the best remix of any Soulsborne game that Alex has done. As the music starts to pick up at 2:00 I can imagine - and have often imagined - a story where the hero has been beaten, clinging to their last hope, their last ounce of strength. The world around them slows as the weight of failure falls upon them, crushing their spirit moment by moment. Then, in their darkest moment - inspiration strikes. They remember why they fought so hard, and see their allies around them trying so desperately to help, to protect the hero from defeat. Seeing them trying so hard empowers the hero to try once more. Complimenting 3:50, they rise up and brandish their weapon, renewed and reinvigorated to go on. They only need to fight for a more moments, and with their allies by their side, they're sure to win. Every single time. It's so goddamn beautiful.

[@jimijenkins2548]

And then they fail, the Old One blankets the world in deep fog, and the world fades into grey obscurity. Then, in the depths below, a spark ignites a flame. Three lord souls, and one dark soul rise to bring disparity to an otherwise homogeneous world. Death and life, evil and good, and of course, dark and light. Thus began the age of fire.

[@GraysGx5000]

Still listening to your works regularly. Hope you're doing good Alex, your music is an absolute gem.

[@devinahfong1933]

What do you lust for, Demon Hunter? Power,to destroy? Wisdom,to lead? Knowledge, to save the lost? Maybe none of these will sate you. Maybe your hunger is for another. Perhaps you lust for the hunt. The chance to make your life worth something, instead of another Nexus child, too scared of the outside world. Astrea wasn't afraid. She was strong, to forsake her own god. She was wise, able to lead the blighted of the valley. She knew how, and healed their festering wounds, made by men. You killed her, simply because she was a Demon?! She helped people forsaken by all, in exchange for her own soul, and in it's place resided a Demon's Soul. That was your goal,wasn't it? To become stronger by devouring her heart. Perhaps it was the right thing to do. A Demon IS a Demon, in the end. Who am I to say, a child dressed in an old heroes armor, trying to slay a king. But, I only hope that you gain from her something most valuable. The ability to care for others, is one unique too us, and us alone. Cherish it, for someday, you may have someone you hold dear, and some one may come in, and snatch their soul from you, just as you did to her.

"Aboards the hype train" Demon's Souls 2!!!!!!

[@Zeracan]

Demon's Souls 2, not gonna happen. We've already got a replacement for the Maiden in Black with the Emerald Herald of Dark Souls 2 essentially.

[@Zeracan]

***** Yeah, and I think Project Beast is going to create a new better world that draws off of mechanics developed in Demon's+Dark Souls, but is not a sequel. The creator himself has said that he doesn't want the Souls series to become a run-on of sequels as so many games become, and even regrets that he wasn't able to work on Dark Souls 2, but wants to be able to work on something new. On the NA side for Demon's Souls 2 Atlus has said they 100% don't intend on making it. I just sort of view the Emerald Herald as being Dark Souls 2 creators gutting Demon's Souls a bit and taking a character from it. I mean, she has the same dictionary of words essentially.

[@MrPwner911]

"So that the world might be mended." I could never get into Demon's Souls as much as I have with Dark Souls for some reason (Possibly because I played the latter first), but I always found the Maiden in Black an interesting character. Both her dialog and personality. That being said, this an amazing and beautiful remix, and From Soft should endorse your work.

[@Tracker947]

Probably because the stories of the characters in the Dark Souls game were more compelling and all around better, and a variety of stories came together to make it great. Demon's Souls, by comparison, had a better main story. Just my opinion.

I had to listen to this song (original) while struggling to contain my tears. This is more than a game... this is a life experience which I'm afraid no game will ever be again.

Your work is incredibly profound. You have successfully created new versions that could have easily fit into each and every game you made music after.
