The Twelve Kingdoms Forum

Veeeerryyyy interesting... According to the Animated Divots site, 12kokuki's composer is Kunihkio Ryo while for HOMM4 the composer is (edit) Paul Romero, with Rob King supervising music overall. I don't see how (Kunihkio/Romero + King) are related, though, if at all. There was no word in the various blurbs/interviews that they used specific preexisting songs, only that it was Celtic themed. If rights were licensed, then it had to be through the gaming company, of course.

Postscript:
-Unless Romero used tracks from one of his independent works, where the studio wouldn't have to negotiate with the game company itself, only Romero/reps, I think. I just listened to the "Sea" theme - essentially identical with #8 Fuushun (kinda creepy). o_o

I'm pretty sure that atleast the Sea theme is an old Folk song because It also appears in the game Zanzarah as a sample sound.

Here's the sample sound:

I also think I've heard it in a movie once ^_^;;

Here's the other song used in yet another game
Battlecry Warlords

And I keep finding songs from the Heroes of Might and Magic in other stuff too..and the other way round. So Now I'm convinced they are old Folk tunes. Now I need the original names of these songs *_*
