Anniversary Event Music Pack

[Zandres]

Greetings everyone!  For the past two days (November 23 -25, 2025) I've been creating this music pack with music from the two Star Ocean Albums I have.  The reason that I decided on Star Ocean music for the Anniversary is thus:  Back when Phantasy Star first came out - there were two other games that were in the same vein as Phantasy Star.  Those games are Xenogear, and Star Ocean.  These three games are all JRPGs set in the sci-fi vein and which stories involve travelling through space to other worlds and what have you.  So, I figured that for an Anniversary Event - it would be cool to make a music pack using Star Ocean Music.

 

I have taken all that I learned over the last three years from making all the music packs that I have, and I put all my skills to use making this one.  The lesson that was most prevalent for this pack was "listen first - cut later."  @Fyrewolf5 taught me way back when that I need to listen to the music before I start making anything so I can know what I have available and to take notes about where I think things would fit based on the "vibes" of the music I hear.  Since I've never played Integrity and Faithlessness nor The Divine Force.... I had no idea of what was waiting for me as I began this project last Saturday night at midnight aka the start of Sunday, Nov. 23, 2025.

 

Let me just say - even if I am tooting my own horn, this music pack came out so well, it's just phenomenal!!

 

As with all my other music packs, here's a video showcase of what this pack sounds like so you can preview it before downloading.  I crafted this pack especially for the Anniversary Event - but if you like it, feel free to use it whenever you like!

 

 

I used the following music in this pack: Please note - TDF means The Divine Force, and IAF means Integrity and Faithlessness so you know from which album the track came.

**DISCLAIMER - As much as I would have liked to make music for the Jungle, Mountain, Seaside, CCA, Towers, Crater, Crater Interior, and the Subterranean Desert, the way the game is coded screws up the custom music for those areas at best, CRASHES IN A GIANT FIRE at worst, and the custom music just won't work for those areas. **

 

If you would like my music pack - here's how you install it to change the music of PSO

 

Open your UltimaPSOBB folder on your hard drive .... the default location for install is: C:/ProgramFiles(x86)/UltimaPSOBB.

 

In your PSOBB folder you'll find a DATA folder, and in that DATA folder you'll find a folder called OGG.

 

*****MAKE A COPY OF THAT OGG FOLDER******* Rename the copy of the folder to something like Music Backup so if you ever want to go back to original PSO music, the files are there and untouched.

 

Then, click this link for the music pack: https://www.mediafire.com/file/v0c3zbw337n8awe/Star_Ocean_Music_PSO.zip/file

 

Download the Zipped folder of Star Ocean Music PSO (there are 43 .ogg files plus one .pdf of the track listing) After you download the Zipped file, right-click it and say "EXTRACT HERE” This will uncompress the folder and give you access to all the .ogg files inside.

 

Now, select all the .ogg files and copy them over into the OGG folder in the UltimaPSOBB/data directory. When your computer asks if you would like to REPLACE all the files SAY YES!

 

This will change the music of your game to the music listed above!

 

If you would like me to make special music for you - just let me know - I'm always happy to help.

 

Cheers,

 

-Z
