Notes from Thomas about this arrangement:
Motoi Sakuraba might be my favorite game composer of all time, and the scores to the Star Ocean franchise offered more options than I knew what to do with. What made the most sense would be arranging probably the most heard tracks from the most popular game in the series. “Field of Expel,” one of two overworld themes from Star Ocean: The Second Story, is a heavy, plodding, yet still triumphant and adventurous, piece basically tailor-made for a brass ensemble, making it an easy pick for the full force of our nine-piece band.
The original track goes through about four different sections, the latter two maybe less familiar to most players (since you usually don’t spend enough time on the map to hear them), so we don’t spend as much time arranging those sections. Instead, halfway through, the band enters the game’s incredibly fierce, high-energy battle theme, “Stab the Sword of Justice.” The two themes are harmonically similar enough that we’re able to bring them together near the end for one final, epic conclusion, with the entire track closing out with the game’s battle clear fanfare, “Strike Your Mind.”

Thanks for the good quality and big compliments to the cutter!
Really, REALLY gorgeous work from everyone!
Always happy to hear these classic Sakuraba themes. Great job everyone.
I remember spinning the camera with R2 and just listening to this.
Bruh... 4 days later, and no 1.K. Views yet??? THIS IS SOOO UNDERRATED❤New into this Series, Star Ocean needs more Recognition and this video, and more Music Covers from Fans, SO is so Underappreciated😭🤦♂️Good Job btw Gentlemen😇👏
Thank you! Star Ocean's a real gem for people who know it -- Thomas has been wanting to arrange something from it for years.
You guys. My god. Holy shit this is good. MY EYEBALLS ARE LEAKING.
Incredible arrangement. The battle theme in particular reminds me of when The Man With The Machine Gun from FF8 got the orchestral treatment -- made it sound like a chase scene out of a western. Really cool! Y'all are gonna get big soon, I can feel it.
Damn, seeing this games music being reimagined brings me tears of joy. Especially the overworld theme of Expel always sounded so magnificent. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks for listening! We love star ocean and we’re glad it means so much to you too
I love me a good old fashioned game of “whack-a-brass,” haha (1:45) Always glad to play with y’all!
Tied for my favourite across the entire album, what an incredible arrangement and a fantastic video to match too
Very impressive
What an unexpected song to see on my recommended, you guys are extremely cool. Great cover!

Fantastic! Loved all the fancy video editing stuff that was done here too, 10/10!
Good cover
amazing work yall! one of my favorite games of all time
One of my favorite non-FF RPGs. Thank you for this cover!!
Bet you guys are hyped for Star Ocean 2nd Story R, eh? Beautiful arrangement of both songs. I love how you stripped them down to brass tacks and did a marching band take on it, especially "Fields of Expel", great job. Speaking of which, have you heard the new arrangement of said song on 2nd Story R's demo? If not, you simply must, it's amazing just like this.
fantastic work
この手のアレンジってやる側の都合で強いアレンジがありがちだけど
ストレートなオーケストラアレンジが原作ファンとして一番好き
そしてクロードが楽器持ってるあたり芸が細かい
You guys really knocked it out of the park with this one. Great job!
Majestic!
Geez you guys sound so clean.... love to hear you do some Wild Arms, FFXI's Ronfaure, Chrono Trigger's Guardian Castle
I would love to send you my arrangement for Lufia and the Fortress of Doom
