♫FATE (Breath of Fire) NES Arrangement - NintendoComplete

This is an arrangement of the Yasuaki Fujita's song "Fate" from the 1993 SNES game Breath of Fire. I have arranged the song for native playback on NES hardware, and the audio was recorded directly from a toaster-model US NES deck.

Fate is the name of the song according to the soundtrack, but a lot of people also seem to call it Alan and Cerl's theme.

This track doesn't use of any of the NES's PSG sounds. It's all digital, downmixing four PCM streams into a single stream that then gets fed to the sample channel. It plays on stock NES hardware with no mods or additional sound hardware. (I used SuperNSF to create it and I played it on the console with a PowerPak flash cart, in case you want to try it out yourself.)

It was just a fun experiment to explore some possibilities, and I thought the track lent itself well to the task. Thanks for listening!

This was just a fun little experiment with PCM samples on the NES. Thanks for checking it out!

This is really great. The beginning is a little reminiscent of the type of vibe/melody present in the opening song to Home Alone. I still love that song.

I would love a remake of Breath of Fire 1 so much crazy stuff happens there.

Good work friend. Really hope we see a revival of breath of fire on modern hardware someday.

I actually like the notes better in this version better than the SNES version. Very impressive! Hopefully someone makes the SNES version has notes like this one in the future.

What the GBA version should have sounded like.
And that's coming from someone who is okay with most official SNES-to-GBA sound conversions.

Needs more 8 bit chip tune and less snes sounds. Sounds great nonetheless. Nice work

Fate also referred Yhwach almighty. Enjoy your famitracker conversation.

What is the size of the file? That looks like it would occupy the entire cartridge!!!

Sounds like this is being played on Game Boy Advance lol! By the way, "Cerl's" name is actually CARLA, and "Alan" is suppose to be AARON. The Western releases didn't have enough spaces so they had to come up with shorter names
