Don't call it a comeback.

It's been a while, hasn't it? Nerds Without Pants isn't back, but it will be, and soon. Until then, Julian does a one man show as an homage to the failed music podcast experiment Digital Mystery Tour. Enjoy this trip down memory lane, and please look forward to a traditional episode of NWP shortly.

A memory of exotic lands in a world known as...Vana'Diel.

Welcome back to Digital Mystery Tour. With the recent release of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, it seemed like a perfect time to look back at some of my favorite songs from the previous online Fantasy: XI. I'm a little under the weather, so I let the music do the talking for me, and close things out with a couple tracks from A Realm Reborn. If you have fond memories of FF XI, you may want to check out the Nerds Without Special I did earlier in the year, which features a ton more of the game's soundtrack, as well as some fun and touching stories. Enjoy, and I realize the bagpipes in the San d'Oria theme can be a tad grating on the ears, but what can I say? It's home to me.
