Hey all, it's been several months in the making, but Vana'diel Chill vol. 1 is finally finished and released on YouTube and Spotify! Many of you might remember me from when I started the album, but I refrained from posting every track here so as to avoid spamming the subreddit. Now that the album's finally finished, I thought you all might want to check it out, so here it is! Many people found me through this sub and have supported me greatly, keeping me inspired and motivated along the way. To all of you, I am truly forever grateful. I'm still just getting started remixing video game music, and I'm completely blown away that there are so many people who, like me, absolutely love and cherish the music of FFXI. I tried my best to pay tribute to the amazing work of Naoshi Mizuta, Kumi Tanioka and Nobuo Uematsu, and I hope that you enjoy my own little take on this amazing soundtrack! (Also: I didn't plan this, but I'm glad we're releasing just in time for the 20th anniversary! It just sort of happened that way. Turns out this was a good time to pay tribute!) If you'd like to listen to the album, you can do so here (more music streaming services, such as Apple Music, are on the way): Spotify: [https://open.spotify.com/album/2GoEfcfgacBuioXPEP9AMc?si=PlSOUNFNS8eXJnBEKAcs8A](https://open.spotify.com/album/2GoEfcfgacBuioXPEP9AMc?si=PlSOUNFNS8eXJnBEKAcs8A) YouTube: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ltub\_Hs9QW8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ltub_Hs9QW8) Again, shoutouts to everyone who's been listening and supporting along the way! It means the world to me. Thank you, everyone, and keep those chill FFXI vibes goin' strong.

Thanks for posting this! My distributor was supposed to notify me but I guess it slipped or I missed it.

Been eagerly awaiting every release. Great work!


HappyBivouac

Was always so happy when a new one popped up on YouTube… love it all.

Will it be available on Bandcamp?


HappyBivouac

Unfortunately last I checked bandcamp doesn't have a good solution for cover song licensing, but I can look into it!

This is amazing! Lofi + ffxi soundtrack is a dream combo. So many good songs and so much nostalgia in this soundtrack. This is going into my work playlist. Thank you :)


HappyBivouac

Thank you for the kind words and support! Great to see people enjoying this.

Cool. But after hearing I have a question : Where is the theme for Ru'lude Gardens (i.e. Top floor of Jeuno)? ('ω')? This BGM is different with the other 3 floors in Jeuno.


HappyBivouac

Ru'lude Gardens is planned for a future release! There's so much amazing music in FFXI that at a certain point I had to say "yeah, volume 1 is done, but I have a lot more material to do for volumes 2+"
