The Fascinating World of Falcom's Music

Rush Hour | The Music of Falcom and Ys VIII
I just scratched the surface of Falcom's musical history with this video, but hopefully it gives you enough of a taste to learn more about these wonderful composers and the incredible music they've produced.
From popular games like Trails of Cold Steel and Ys VIII, to forgotten gems like Xanadu Next and Brandish, Falcom has decades worth of musical masterpieces to enjoy. It helps that the gameplay is good, too. The next time you're itching to play an action rpg, check out Gurumin, Zwei 2, or the mid 2000's Ys games like Origin, The Oath in Felghana, and The Ark of Napishtim. Games that are short, sweet, and to the point - all with killer soundtracks.
Some fun behind the scenes notes:
- If you notice some footage of Ys VIII running poorly, that's because I originally captured footage from my Switch. I stopped a few hours in and started capturing from Steam instead, and the difference is night and day. Definitely skip the Switch version of the game if you can; not only is the framerate worse, the input lag is pretty gnarly.
- Capturing footage of Zwei 2 was a pain in the ass. When you run the configuration tool, you can set the game to run at 60 or 144hz. When I captured footage in OBS, the footage came out with this nasty ghosting effect. Turns out the game runs at a fake 60 fps. I spent way too long messing around until I eventually changed my OBS settings to capture the game at 30fps, and voila, it came out perfect.
