It's incredible that a highschool student composed these, at least from what I remember. I think about the things I did in HS, and not to belittle myself, but man would I be proud to know that I composed a great soundtrack for a game like this.

[@Q-BOT]

As much as I wanted to believe this, Jeremy Soule, the composer, was 20 years old as of the release of the game. It seems it was just out of high school that he composed it. Regardless, it's a major feat.

Yea, he is pretty well known due to his Elder Scrolls involvement. This was his first game. He basically sent in a demo tape to Square as a high school student and received a call-back.

As someone who has listened to almost every song in this soundtrack on loop for hours, this is a really fun, calming, fresh way to listen to the whole OST! Some of the instrumentation choices here are really wild in a good way, like they recontextualize the songs in really fun ways. Horace's theme sounds like it would play in an Arabian marketplace or something, and was that Omnitopia Hallways that you played with those super gentle chimes about 11 minutes in? That sounds like something you'd hear while exploring some really tranquil icy mountaintops, haha

[@hell_pike9150]

[@EbenezerScroogeMcDuck]

it's a hard game. i've played 90% of squaresoft's games, only ever actually died in this game. it's impossible to die in most RPGs because all it takes is a small amount of lvling up and spamming of attacks.. THIS game on the other hand, there's not only a grind, despite pushing the damage, the enemies have massive amounts of HP compared to the amount of damage you can deal at the time of meeting these enemies. swamp boss was the real deal.

[@eternalphoenixlp9482]

although swamp boss was fairly easy if you took a bit of time lvling up your spear. And everything goes of the rail once you get the alchemy Crush and lvl it up. Other than that, the game is indeed really hard

[@cmedtheuniverseofcmed8775]

@@hell_pike9150 Secret of Evermore came out in 1995, two years after Secret of Mana did. There was a bit of controversy that Secret of Evermore prevented Seiken Densetsu 3 (Secret of Mana 2, which is awesome) from hitting the consoles in the US. It's generally not true, as Nintendo was trying to promote the N64 as quickly as possible to the point that they halted a lot of the games from reaching the US, including Densetsu 3. There are a lot of nice hacks for Evermore to help out in its balancing and leveling issues. In many ways, Secret of Evermore is a nice change of pace in gameplay and story when compared to Mana.

Why is this music so different?

[@hell_pike9150]

Different from what? This music was composed in MIDI format for a super Nintendo video game made in 1995 I think. Secret of evermore. It's a fantastic game. What I did to make this video, I took the MIDI songs and converted them to mp3 using a sound font. The purpose of older video games using MIDI is because it requires a lot less file space. Most super Nintendo games are only about 15 megabytes or so. Now it's more modern technology the notes and instruments in MIDI format can be represented with higher fidelity instruments. Different sound fonts have different styles that people can apply, so if you don't like this one there could be better ones out there

I'm about 15ish hours into EVO now and am feeling a similar frustration like SoE. I really want to like it.

[@hell_pike9150]

Some of the puzzles are very difficult, but once you learn to level up your alchemy you can blaze through the game. You just have to spend some time leveling your alchemy. I especially lean in on leveling up spells that only require one ingredient instead of two, that way you can hold 99 charges of that spell. For example that fist thing that comes out of the air
