Now that I listen to this one again, it sounds a lot better if I transpose the triangle channel down an octave:
(here's the official famicom version of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q567c0mEEec )
This one's Palace of Salmon from Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished: The Final Chapter. The name is *supposed* to be Palace of Solomon but it got mistranslated in a particularly humorous way.
This game did have a Famicom release, but the version of this track from that release is a bit lacking in our opinion. Of course, our version uses the VRC6, which Falcom obviously wouldn't have been able to use; it's a Konami-exclusive chip
Here's one most of you probably recognise; this is J-E-N-O-V-A from Final Fantasy VII. This is also one of the ones we're quite proud of!
This one uses the VRC6 expansion chip. you might know it as the reason Castlevania III's soundtrack sounded so different in Japan (the north american NES doesn't support the sound expansion chips for whatever reason, so the soundtrack was redone)
oh look it's that track that was a meme in like 2012 (Groose's theme from Skyward Sword)
This one actually uses no expansion chips and could be played on an unmodded north american NES
okay who voted ketchup and was that a serious answer or a joke
it's fine if it was a serious answer, i just included that as a joke and wasn't expecting anyone to actually pick it
honestly i feel like alfredo sauce plus soy sauce might actually be possible to make work, but you'd need to know what you're doing and get the mixture just right
honestly personally we like to have a mixture of at least two of the (serious) option. pesto goes well with either red sauce or white sauce, and red and white mix together well too. and then you can just mix all three of them if you want that too!
the idea of just quadrupling the amount of butter in anything sounds awful, really, but apparently it worked this time
Who made those unique chairs? No one knows. Maybe they made themselves. The artistry is not the best, but it has a certain charm to it.
urban cryptid: the Inexplicably Identical Mexican Restaurant
There's at least one in every north american city. All of them have nigh-identical decor and menus, right down to the drink selection and the menu's graphic design. No two of them seem to have any relation to one another. They are always among the best mexican food you can get in the cities where they're present. The chairs have handmade painted carvings of rural mexican life on the back. You've probably been to several.
Birth of a God (FFVII) would also be neat... or Underworld (Terranigma), or To Zanarkand (FFX) or You Will Know Our Names (Xenoblade) or
there's so much good music out there
also i think Gunmetal Action (from Wild Arms 3) would be an interesting one to do, with its dynamics and especially that percussion
not sure we could pull it off though
here's another one of our favorites that we've done, this one an arrangement of Amber Valley from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance:
Plural system of three, Felthry, Alaric and Rosemary. We'll sign posts with a -F, -A, or -R.
Autistic, 20-something, anxious mess
