The ToAU tracks are especially nostalgic to my husband and I. You did an absolutely amazing job brining this to life 💜 Thank you for all of your work, we find ourselves listening to these almost everyday.
Wow!! Thank you so much for the kind words and support! As a long-time fan of both FFXI and Minecraft, this means so much to me! It's always amazing to see what a profound and lasting impact this game has had on so many different people, like it has had on me. Again, thank you!!
So I've been using Aphmau as a character name since about 2008 (well, used to, swapped to Mnejing because I liked it better). It's funny when I hop on my older characters now, they literally all think I'm you. "Hey, are you that Minecraft RUclipsr?" and now I have a standard fare macro that just says "nope, I've been using the name since 2008, she got it from the same place as me, we're definitely not the same person". Kinda funny tbh. Glad we both got inspiration from the same characters :)
Brings me back to what felt like endless summer days. Out in the sun during the day and into the night with windows open and cool breeze coming in through the windows while playing XI with friends. Nothing will ever replace XI for me. Would love to see a remaster but know it will never be the same. The nostalga is for the time that was but not what could be. Cant help but be taken back by all of these amazing tracks. Keep up the amazing work Spaceroast. You really are a one of a kind for the XI community. I hope you know how much this means to everyone. You have a lot of talent.
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! I do find myself reminiscing about those summer days before college, playing through ToAU. I'm just glad this community is still alive and thriving as it is! Again, thank you!
I keep coming back to this one. They're all good, but this one is just, like a lot of people say, purely nostalgic. For the brief few years I played, I probably spent more time in Whitegate than anywhere else. And I never muted the music. I'd just listen to it, even if I was busy with other things. XI's music had so much atmosphere and it sticks with you.
Partying in ToAU zones all night locally with a bunch of friends was the best. We ordered pizza and had an endless marathon of anime playing the whole time. Nothing will ever recapture that magic.
Thank you for all your ff11 music. The old game is dead and the new one doesn't hold the same appeal to me becaus it's changed so radically, and all my peers are gone. I like Horizon XI, but now I've got a busy life and cant even enjoy a long gr8nd session anymore. But the music brings me back to the good old days every time.
Thank you so much! I have enjoyed my revisit and nostalgia trip through the retail game, though it's not the same as it once was. I think I'll still be enjoying the soundtrack and the memories it brings for decades to come.
Your remixes are so clearly full of love. I never played FFXI, but have been enjoying these immensely. I journal listening to them in the morning. Thank you for what you do. I'm glad for you, too, that you get to bring so much joy to the world.
Absolutely full of love. Glad the love is apparent to someone else! His FFXI "Vana'diel Chill" albums are great by the way. I think they'd be perfect for journaling. Try his version of Tavnazian Archipelago and, if you'd like, let me know how it goes! Either way, stay healthy and happy. Cheers friend.
Thanks for the kind words! This all started out as a passion project out of my love and nostalgia for this game, and it's been amazing to see the support from listeners. I plan to keep going for a long time!
Yess! Good times! I loved Besieged, even if it was a bit of a lagfest and you could barely see half the mobs around you. Small miracle they even got that working on the PS2 to begin with.
Oh man, the pain when the teleports were down lol. What an amazing expansion this was. The salvage runs, and beating Odin in Einherjar. It’s true, memories are everything! Thanks again!
Whitegate was and still is my favorite zone to afk in because of the music. Thank you so much for all of the XI remixes, they're fantastic and remind me of better days
Man.... the amount of hours spent idling in this city can't be understated lol I loved CoP, but I didn't spend nearly as much time in any of those cities as I did in this one. My favorite part every time it comes up is at 1:30. There's just something so calming and addictive about it at the same time. Such a great tune. Love the mix, as always! Looking forward to more :D
Yeah, they absolutely nailed the vibe and worldbuilding with this expansion. Love this place! And that's probably my favorite part of the song as well. Thanks for the support, as always!
A new Spaceroast FFXI mix always brings a smile to my face when I see that notification! This is one of my all time favorite tracks from the game, well done as usual!
Love this song so much. When I first starting playing it was right before this expansion dropped. I worked my ass off to get to the capital, and got killed the very second i stepped outside. But I never forgot loving this theme. Probably the third most nostalgic song in FF11 for me behind only Bastok Markets and Jeuno themes.
Absolutely love this. Your FFXI mixes always make me smile ear to ear. Revisiting my nostalgia through your modernized takes on FFXI’s music feels like a special treat made just for me, even though I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. Thank you for this gift. I’m so glad there’s a third Vana’diel Chill album on the (Tavnazian) Horizon 🌅
Thank you! Honestly I started out this project for myself, but it's been amazing to see the appreciation and support from you and other listeners. Stay tuned for more!
LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ToAH was my ALL-TiME fav xpac!! Unlocking BLU and COR and playing those jobs for years, man....Golden Age XI Memories to me!
This is one of my favorite tracks. I still go back and vibe to it from time to time since Treasures was the last expansion I played in. Excellent remix Spaceroast
Another amazing track to add to the playlist! Thanks for your hard work mate. Loving these, especially Whitegate. For me Aht Urghan was the prime of my FFXI playtime. So many great memories coming back with this.
Thank you so much for this remix, it has brought so much life into a song that I love so much and still listen to weekly. I love your work and you got an immediate sub from me. Thank you so much for all the nostalgia!
I’ll never forget sitting in this area and having some person go off on me in /t while I was afk. He was so upset because I had a Warrior’s Stone as a relatively novice Warrior. It offended him because he was better geared overall than I. Ahh the memories.
I am so damn impressed by how far you've come in terms of the quality and musical fidelity of your covers, all the way from that first critical review I left on Volume 1. 10/10, absolute banger. If I may make a request... could you please do Flowers on the Battlefield, from FFXI: Wings of the Goddess?
Thank you so much! That means a lot. I'm always trying out and learning new things as I aim to improve and "find my sound." I love Flowers on the Battlefield! Will get to that one as soon as I'm finished with the Aht Urhgan remixes.
Sweet interpretation of the Whitegate theme. I like that it sits in a slightly different niche from the original, and I quite like that the percussion was a little different. Certainly a track I will revisit! I've been enjoying this Vana'diel remix series of yours - it does warm my heart that the game and its music is receiving attention, and contributions! If you'll forgive the cheesiness - it's like the capital's bustle never disappeared!
Thank you so much! I tried to mostly preserve the vibe of the original, while adding my own flavor. This especially comes through in the layers of percussion. Good ear!
Thank you! I have looked into it, but I'd probably have to crowdfund it or something, and handling distribution is an issue as long as I'm not living in the US. Hopefully someday!
Thank you! I'd love to do a physical release on CD and/or Vinyl, but I'd probably need to crowdfund it, and distribution is difficult as long as I'm not in the US. Hopefully someday!
Such a great track. So many good ones to choose from in this expansion. Please tell me you're doing Bandit's Market in Vol. 3. Nashmau was my hang out spot during that time due to it being less crowded than Whitegate, but still had all the amenities.
The ToAU tracks are especially nostalgic to my husband and I. You did an absolutely amazing job brining this to life 💜
Thank you for all of your work, we find ourselves listening to these almost everyday.

NOTHING will EVER come CLOSE to replacing XI in its golden era.
Its not even close.
making me nostalgic
I have a feeling this small bubble of us that played and feel this way, we’ll all meet in Vana’diel again, some day :)
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! I do find myself reminiscing about those summer days before college, playing through ToAU. I'm just glad this community is still alive and thriving as it is! Again, thank you!
1000s of hours of background AFK music right here logged back in the day.
Between here and the sanctuary of Zitah hundreds of hours AFK just for the music
Yep, and never got tired of it!
I keep coming back to this one. They're all good, but this one is just, like a lot of people say, purely nostalgic.

Yeah! Many hours just chillin here with the music on, chatting with linkshell mates while doing homework or whatever else.
Partying in ToAU zones all night locally with a bunch of friends was the best. We ordered pizza and had an endless marathon of anime playing the whole time. Nothing will ever recapture that magic.
That sounds incredible! Simpler times, those were.
Years in Aht Urhgan in the mid 2000s means this music is an instant earworm for me.
Certainly is a very recognizable piece. Thanks for listening!
Thank you for all your ff11 music. The old game is dead and the new one doesn't hold the same appeal to me becaus it's changed so radically, and all my peers are gone. I like Horizon XI, but now I've got a busy life and cant even enjoy a long gr8nd session anymore.

Thank you! Many more tracks to come!
Same man,I just got hip
love the blend of instruments that make it feel both middle eastern and indian at the same time, truly great to listen to!
Thank you, and good ear!
All the newer ones need to go on spotify tooooooooo!
Expect some good news very soon!

Yess! Good times! I loved Besieged, even if it was a bit of a lagfest and you could barely see half the mobs around you. Small miracle they even got that working on the PS2 to begin with.
Fantastic. Time spent at the bar in this area are some of my all time favorite memories.
Thank you! Certainly a ton of idle time just hanging out in Whitegate. Glad you enjoy it!
Oh man, the pain when the teleports were down lol. What an amazing expansion this was. The salvage runs, and beating Odin in Einherjar. It’s true, memories are everything! Thanks again!

Thanks! Always loved this area.

I should thank you for listening! Glad you enjoy 'em!
One of my favorite tracks ever and it's remixed beautifully!
Thank you! Really appreciate the support!
Love these.

Unlocking BLU and COR and playing those jobs for years, man....Golden Age XI Memories to me!
Yes! BLU and PUP were especially hype for me! Thanks as always!
Great choice for a remix! Still hoping for Schala's theme soon 😅
Thank you! Chrono Trigger has been a bit on the backburner lately, but I plan to do it!
This is one of my favorite tracks. I still go back and vibe to it from time to time since Treasures was the last expansion I played in. Excellent remix Spaceroast
Thank you! For me it was also the last expansion where I played heavily, but still popped in a few times a week during WoTG. Good memories!
nice as always :) :) thank for bringing back those memory
Thank you as always! Glad you enjoy it!
Fantastic work, really brings back memories.
Thank you! Chill nostalgia is the goal here.
Amazing work as always! Thank you for all the warm fuzzies of nostalgia 💖
Thank you for listening! Glad you enjoy it!
Fantastic as always. I see the title and I'm like "what song is that even..." second it starts I'm like "OOOOOOOH"
Thank you! Could have just called it Aht Urhgan Theme or something, but decided to keep the original title. Glad you enjoy it!
Another amazing track to add to the playlist! Thanks for your hard work mate. Loving these, especially Whitegate. For me Aht Urghan was the prime of my FFXI playtime. So many great memories coming back with this.
Thank you! Glad to hear this could bring back some nostalgia for you.
It reminds me of my youth. It is so wonderful. Thank you.
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Oh I've been WAITING for you to get to the Aht Urhgan music
Haha, I had to build up some anticipation and tie up some loose ends. Thanks for listening!
I loooooved visiting this city so much! ahh man this is hecking rad~
Agreed, it's such an awesome place! Thanks as always!
EPIC dude
Thanks!! Glad you like it!
Fantastic
Thanks!!
One of my favorites!!!!
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for listening!
Gorgeous stuff. Thank you for the your amazing nostalgia wizardry! Keep the FFXI coming!
Thank you! Glad you enjoy it! Many more to come.
Wonderful, love the vibes! Awesome job!
Thanks!!
yet another BANGER
Thank you!!
Just wow! I love your FFXi Music I played 5 years. 2005-2010 ❤
Thank you! So many memories from those years.
Soooooo Good!!!!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this remix, it has brought so much life into a song that I love so much and still listen to weekly.

See you guys Friday.
This is amazing! Have you ever considered doing limited vinyl presses of your collections? I would buy a set in a HEARTBEAT
I would buy a record player for that alone haha
I would also absolutely and without any hesitation grab the albums on vinyl
Thank you! I have looked into it, but I'd probably have to crowdfund it or something, and handling distribution is an issue as long as I'm not living in the US. Hopefully someday!
@@Spaceroast I would definitely be interested in helping crowd fund
Lets gooooooo. Some good memories from this exspansion. Any plans to release a cd or anything of the various volumes?
Thank you! I'd love to do a physical release on CD and/or Vinyl, but I'd probably need to crowdfund it, and distribution is difficult as long as I'm not in the US. Hopefully someday!
Hell yes
Thanks!
Hell yeah 🤘🏼
Btw, RUclips is really burying your stuff and I don't know why!
Thanks dude! I still have not earned the favor of the almighty Algorithm, but maybe someday!

Thank you! Your wish shall be granted very, very soon (today, actually, depending on your timezone).
Passing out at 5am on a weekend with school the next day waiting for Besieged, only to die for being afk anyway, good times.
I can say with certainty that this happened to me more than once.
Is this being added to the Spotify playlist? I love your work!
Thank you! It will eventually be on Spotify!
Any idea when you will have your newer stuff on Spotify?
Unfortunately I've been kinda swamped with IRL stuff lately and still need to get album art and licensing sorted out. Hopefully soon!
@@SpaceroastThanks so much for the response! Really love these new mixes. Looking forward to the spotify release. Thanks so much for your hard work!
Where are the 10hr versions? I feel like they need to exist.
Takes a bit more effort than you might expect, but maybe I'll do some more extended remixes someday. Sorry though, no promises.
Either way, love your mixes. @@Spaceroast
