    This is incredibly well-made. Beyond the music itself, which is quite enthralling, the use of appropriate game footage basically turns this video into a movie. Really, good job.

    Faxanadu was the perfect answer to (Zelda 2/Simon's Quest) with its fair difficulty, very interesting world with an incredible variety of enemies, cozy towns to creepy dungeons (within dungeons). Part of my all time favourites titles!

    Climbing the Haligtree in Elden Ring today and was astonished at how closely it resembled what a modern 3D remake of Faxanadu could be like. Something I've longed for my whole life. I couldn't resist, I had to put on the Faxanadu soundtrack to play in the background. As soon as the music started playing, I was there, picking through the upper branches of the World Tree on my way to retrieve the Dragonslayer. Thanks for making the dream possible!

      Elden ring shadow of the erdtree is less than half the game that faxanadu is. The original elden ring was comparable.

    Another outstanding complete orchestral tribute soundtrack. I've never played Faxanadu, But no doubt the NES soundtrack is amazing.
    Do you have any plans for any CastleVania related orchestral music this October?
    Or maybe the complete orchestral soundtrack of Super CastleVania 4?

    Faxanadu has been one of my favourite nes games since I was a kid. The music along with the footage is really great. It really sounds like a real updated soundtrack for the game. Would be perfect for an upscaled remaster of the game.

      I'll answer this myself, it is very simple..without Patreon, this channel would be dead and gone for at least 3-4 years now. A lot of Patreon subscribers are telling me that I should release all my stuff on youtube, and I am the one who restrain it because I want to give a bit of exclusivity to my supporters. I'm doing this alone in my free time because I know some people enjoy this.And yes, If you are willing to wait for 6 months to a year for every track, than it is all good. Some of them may never be on youtube, but a lot of them will...otherwise I will never grow my channel. You are not forced to subscribe if you don't want to...just giving a link to my channel when posting my castlevania music on your page instead of claiming it as your own would be just as appreciated:)
