Is the downfall of FFShrine / Galbadia Hotel imminent?
Devil May Sly | 5:00 PM on 06.28.2008 4 comments




For those of you in the community obsessed with game and/or anime music, you may have heard of a site called Galbadia Hotel or FFShrine. The place is a goldmine of soundtracks that span multiple forms of media. About a month ago, the site went down for quite some time and no one really knew why, however it's once again online, but this time with bad news for many.

Galbadia's owner seems to have been robbed through identity theft, and thus causing the bill of two grand a month to keep the site running to go unpaid. The owner of the site is now asking for donations to keep the site running while she tries to recover her lost funds.

With such an incident occurring and the ability of finding a songs with ease, can the community of audio pirates pull together to keep their site afloat, or will it sink into the deep blue, leaving the lot of them to scrounge for pricey OST's on import sites?

I figured I would just bring this little incident to light, given I'm sure at least a few community members here go over there now and then. I won't be posting a link though as I'd like to avoid getting bitch-smacked (If this type of post isn't allowed here anyways, someone please inform me so I can promptly remove it), but for those of you who give half a damn, you already know where to go anyways.

That sucks, since I always love going to Galbadia hotel's site just to download older song that are almost impossible to find!

Well i guess that's what happens when you boast about how much money you have infront of 200 people.

Try khinsider, gamemusichall, ffdream, bluelaguna, or snesorama.
