SeeDs of Pandora - Galbadia Garden - By Azurelly
I directed and spearheaded this music album alongside OC ReMixer, Jorito, inspired by the music from the Final Fantasy VIII videogame on the Playstation (and other platforms).

Our Director Thoughts on the project:
We were given the unique opportunity to direct a defunct FFVIII OC Remix album project by DJPretzel and Liontamer themselves! It was attempted once, but for reasons, it fell through. Despite this, we were given the chance to revive this album - it being the last Final Fantasy of the Playstation era not to have an OC ReMix album. Darkflamewolf sketched out a compelling vision and tracklist suggestion for each disc while Jorito went recruiting - with an end goal of about a year to complete the entire project. We managed to interest a lot of people from the VGM community, with a good mix of OC ReMix veterans, people from other communities and newcomers.
Coming back to the series after being gone from it for so long was like coming home and Final Fantasy VIII seemed to be this perfect welcoming party of a game for everyone. People had a fondness and love for its characters, its world and its music. The intent with this album was to embrace the remix aspect of OC ReMix fully and to interpret the original melodies in ways you might not have heard before. Our goal is to provide something new and transformative with these songs. Kudos to all the talented people who helped make this album a reality! It was a joy working on this and seeing it come together.
Now the album has been tailored to be a thematic experience from disc 1 all the way through disc 4 (and beyond to the surprise disc 5), starting off slow just like Final Fantasy VIII does, before ramping up to action set pieces, then calming down to some wild and diverse gameplay experiences and finally ending strong. However, you can listen to the album in any order for any mood you're feeling. Whatever works for you. Ultimately, we hope you enjoy this album and its fresh new take on the music of Final Fantasy VIII and may it always rekindle your fond memories of your time playing it. From the SeeDs of Pandora team to you: Happy listening!
