FFXIV Close In The Distance - DecentSampler Remix 【Synthesizer V Asterian】
16Although reusing songs too early – under normal circumstances – is not my cup of tea, there are two VERY valid reasons to break with my own tradition.
A) When my first remix of this song was tinkered, I hadn't yet discovered DecentSampler. Imagine how much I regretted this later. ^_^"
》However, you can see in the title plus below in the Details-section, that at least this time all VSTs used for my second Mixdown are from mentioned software. (Albeit the urge was there, I willingly renounced the usage of Soundfonts to have the DS-instruments speak for themselves.)
B) Asterian aka the new SynthV-Voicebank made by EclipsedSounds was announced a while ago. And as you can imagine, I was de facto forced to pre-order the good man due to his beautiful voice.
(Don't look at me like that! I know my obsession for voices borders on being unhealthy. x~x But give me at least a plus-point for having good taste.)
Uhm, since Asterian's official artwork as well as the Demosong-arts go with a more realistic style, it was slightly difficult to come up with an interpretation of his face matching my Anime-/Manga-esque preferences. Not sure if I'm pleased with the final choice...
Though, I really like how G'raha's outfit looks on him plus in blue~ Not to forget this iconic pose of our cat-boi. =U.U=
By the way, the edited screenshotused as backgorund was taken in Ultima Thule's Elysion while that red wether was up~
One last thing, because I know there might be people who'd wish to complain about "wrong skin-colors"... As long as I have no reference-sheet for the very exact hex-code-number, everyone will have to live with my pick for Asterian's body. :P
》In case there are complaints about it, feel free to utter them, but be aware of my readiness to discuss / argue if criticism happens to be an ugly insult. This Lalafell here CAN bite.
