    Today's episode is focused on Hironobu Sakaguchi's Lost Odyssey. Originally released on the Xbox 360 in 2008 to help draw in Japanese audiences, this Final Fantasy inspired JRPG was one of the handful of releases from Mistwalker. The soundtrack was composed by long-time collaborator Nobuo Uematsu, but free from brand expectation allowed wild experimentation from their normal output.

  • Big Themes, Vol 2

    With this release we're celebrating our 1 year anniversary of Beeps Bops & Beats! Joshua leads us as we go back to where it all started a year ago with Big Themes from video games... Ranging from 3D fighters, to brawlers, throwback platformers... Iconic RPGs, quirky cyberpunk indie hits, and deeply militaristic post-apocalyptic wastelands... We run the gamut with some of the biggest music in gaming and stories of why each of these hold space in our brains after years or decades after we first heard them.
