The chorus is definitely the weakest part; I wanted to do a "hold and hit the backing vocals" theme, but no particular element shines through in this right now.
The outro is perfect.
The zombies are representative of the silly dance the Primals (the FFXIV staff band) do while live lol

note chart 2/3. this intermission was a ton of fun, and the only time I permitted myself to go outside of the basic enemy types with the Swordmaster, for the big, predictable note hits.
Tried to intro them like the game does, with the same-line note 2 beats beforehand.
one more video.

it feels good to make a note chart again... "A Long Fall" from FFXIV!
it's rough around the edges, the vibe chains don't work properly, but I feel like I'm doing a good job with the monster choice for theming, and keeping myself to an "easy Hard" difficulty.
rest of the track in the next two posts

I love digging through old Ableton files and finding tracks I worked on for a single day in which I was absolutely COOKING i need to go back to this and see if i can't make a full track
