     As I implied, the soundtrack to this was a collaboration! While the two of us both made our own independent tracks here and there, most of the tracks were created by the two of us passing project files back and forth. It honestly felt like a true 50-50 effort, or maybe even more 60-40 on the side of Gigi. Gigi did mention that they wanted the soundtrack to sound like a PlayStation game, so I... Well, I just sent them all of the sounds I usually use and we just went wild. Anyway, I don't think I've ever collaborated so back-and-forth like this, so it was really fun!!! (Plus, it's Gigi's debut as a composer and I'm really proud.)

+    > the climax is so so so so good i replayed the whole game 4 times already just to see it (and i'll do it again. i can't be stopped) also the music slaps so hard i can't wait for an official release. i'm curious which tracks were yours and what kind of directions you gave for the ones toby did.

+
+    thanks so much! i’m excited to release the soundtrack eventually. for now, here’s a proper songlist and more detailed credits (warning for vague spoilers):
+
+    - title - [[track:prelude-soul-of-sovereignty|“Prelude”]] (GGDG)
+    - whisper - [[track:whisper-soul-of-sovereignty|“Whisper”]] (GGDG)
+    - loic - [[track:words-in-lavender|“Words in Lavender”]] (Toby Fox, GGDG)
+    - sadgirl - [[track:small-theme-for-a-sad-girl|“Small Theme for a Sad Girl”]] (GGDG, Toby Fox)
+    - snowfall - [[track:snowfall-soul-of-sovereignty|“Snowfall”]] (GGDG, Toby Fox)
+    - loic_magic - [[track:fayims-gift|“Fayim’s Gift”]] (Toby Fox)
+    - hollow - [[track:hollow-temple|“Hollow Temple”]] (Toby Fox)
+    - ysme_slow - [[track:master-of-illusion|“Master of Illusion”]] (Toby Fox)
+    - creepy - [[track:unease-soul-of-sovereignty|“Unease”]] (Toby Fox)
+    - sage_tension, sage_tension2 - [[track:frenzied-rite|“Frenzied Rite”]] (Toby Fox)
+    - loiclia - [[track:sunflowers-soul-of-sovereignty|“Sunflowers”]] (Toby Fox)
+    - ysme_normal - [[track:normal-theme-for-a-normal-woman|“Normal Theme for a Normal Woman”]] (Toby Fox)
+    - lamp_7 - [[track:lamplight|“Lamplight”]] (GGDG)
+    - sage_2, sage_pre - [[track:sage-invocation|“Sage Invocation”]] (GGDG, Toby Fox)
+    - ysme_god - [[track:light-and-hunger|“Light and Hunger”]] (Toby Fox)
+    - end_2 - [[track:soul-tether|“Soul Tether”]] (GGDG, Toby Fox)
+    - whis2 - [[track:prayer-to-the-builder|“Prayer to the Builder”]] (GGDG)
+
+    if my name is listed first, that means i composed an early version, then toby took it from there.
+
+    the general direction we went in with was “ps1 rpg,” but i ended up taking a lot of influence from ffxi in my own compositions ([[track:snowfall-soul-of-sovereignty|“snowfall”]] in particular.)
+
+    *(Continued in track commentary)*
+
+    those are the biggest points i can think of! it was such a joy working together on this soundtrack and i’m looking forward to more.
