#365DaysOfVGM Day 169:

Tumult ~ Crest of a Violent Wave (Sekaiju no Meikyū III: Seikai no Raihōsha/Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City & Sekaiju no Meikyuu V: Nagaki Shinwa no Hate/Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth, including the FM Synth version [2010/2016])

This is a level of FM synth so good, that it keeps getting remixed! This time around, it’s a lot easier to distinguish the DS & FM versions, with the FM version having a Tubular Bell that’s borderline absent from the in-game DS variant, so with that in mind, more on the wonderful track itself!

How do you make a fast-paced battle track over 3 minutes long? This track has some satisfying answers to that! 1st thing to come to mind is that Elec Bass, you might already know how much I praised it in the Skeleton Boomerang entry from almost 2 months earlier, it’s a similar deal here!

The other Strings manage to be just as action-packed, helped by the perfectly-paced Drums and other generally uplifting FM staples; uplifting is what I can describe this track as, while not going too far in that direction, since most battle themes need to imply at least some form of challenge to overcome. Those wanting a more “serious/grounded” variant will probably prefer the DS version, because the aforementioned Tubular Bells of the FM version only contribute to the track’s uplifting energy. Yet again, I love both versions well enough to consider both favorites!

Gotta thank TheLinkToThePast (Discord) again for informing me of not just the soundtrack of the Etrian Odyssey DS trilogy, but also this day’s featured Etrian Odyssey V FM track, because while it's different enough to be its own entry, it’s worth mentioning here for all fans of the original track, including me!

Based on Etrian Odyssey IV’s “Raging Winds” take on the Etrian Odyssey III classic, V’s own “Raging Waves” leans further on the dramatic side, with a more concise loop too, given how there wasn’t much space left to expand on the original’s uplifting mood. The Bass is also more traditional, with a heavier set of Drum beats and Drum rolls for some much-needed intensity. Some melodies are altered to work more closely with the higher pitch this track uses in comparison to III, while the non-loop beginning and end parts leading up to the loop are completely new, both setting the tone for a familiar composition that’s not as upbeat. It’s almost like the RPG music styles of old have grown up, ready to take on the challenges of the future together with us!

(Length before loop [DS & FM]: 3.5+ minutes, [V FM]: Nearly 4 minutes)

There's a particular type of localisation goof that I find really funny and it's the "what do you mean there's going to be a cool title drop moment for this title we localised years ago to something that makes the moment awkward at best and nonexistent at worst"

The one most anime fans would know about would be the Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) localisation having their head in their hands after the title drop reveal of the Attack Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin)

There was also a similar issue with Frieren: Journey's End (Sousou no Frieren [lit. Frieren of the Funeral Procession]) where Frieren was later dramatically revealed to have a sobriquet that was the same as the title but had to be localised to "Frieren the Slayer" because oops we can't title drop (although this one might be an attempt to avoid clunky titles rather than a years-in-the-making "aw dangit")

The funniest one imo tho is the Etrian Odyssey series (Sekaiju no Meikyuu [lit. Labyrinth of the World Tree]) which, aside from the fact that only the first game is set in Etria, was totally fine for ELEVEN YEARS and NINE GAMES, until the series crossover title Etrian Odyssey Nexus decided that it was going to do a title drop for the name of its final dungeon which was very cool but only in Japanese! English had to deal with Yggdrasil Labyrinth not being a title drop at all lmfao

I have to admit, as comfy as the Etrian Odyssey settings all are already, and as much as I love the retro inspired menu-based interface in general, I would love to run around the cobblestone streets and narrow winding alleys of any of the Etrian Odyssey hometowns.

here’s the bonus materials from my 31 day etrian odyssey origins countdown ! i always intended to do a ‘map’ palette for the last day, and the rest of the palettes are based on my 1000 (-160) paper cranes from feb 2020, which were, of course, based on the mainline stratums. we’ve come full circle, folks.

if you would like to use the palettes for anything (ex. an ask game), feel free! i would love be tagged/notified so i can see it, especially if its eo related : )
