Special Notes
In this episode, Don discusses an interview VGMO conducted with Final Fantasy Type-0 HD composer, Takeharu Ishimoto, so be sure to check that out!
Mike makes a comparison to Ailsean's excellent Terra in Black on OverClocked ReMix (released in 2000!). After recording, we discovered Ailsean revisited the track with updated instrumentation, and released it under the title Terra Obsidian. You should listen to it.
