About this mod

Replaces Banished's background music with music from the RPG, Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean

Permissions and credits
This mod replaces Banished's music with music from the RPG, Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean.

For those who've never heard of it, Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean was an old Gamecube JRPG. It was unique in a lot of ways and one of things that I found particularly memorable was its fantastic, organic-sounding soundtrack (except for the battle themes, which were all electronic-y). With lots of horns, cellos and acoustic guitars it really makes you feel like you're in an idyllic countryside.


All 15 of Banished's original tracks are replaced (16, if you count the Menu's music). 90% of the tracks come from BK, with the others coming from its sequel-prequel BK: Origins. The order they play in appears to be random, so stick it out for a few tunes and see if the overall feel strikes your fancy.

Install it like you would any other Banished mod, extract the .7z archive and drop the customMusic0B.pkm into your game's WinData folder (where the other data.pkg files are) then toggle it on in the Mods menu in-game.

NOTE: This shouldn't cause any problems with savegames, but if you're playing an old one you'll need to toggle the mod on AFTER you've loaded the save. Otherwise, it won't change anything.

Here's are some samples of Baten Kaitos' OST, to give you an idea of how the mod sounds :
