Sounds like a great idea!
We should think about using a lot of the underused/obscure music from the other games. So, if you guys know of anymore you want to hear, post it here in the topic
!
ProTools sounds lke a good program, but from what I researched, it neither supports Ogg nor FLAC files which is what I'll need for looping the music.
If you guys know of either a ProTools version that supports Ogg and FLAC, a plug-in that gets ProTools to except Ogg and FLAC files, or a way to convert FLAC to MP3 with as little loss as possible, let me know and I'll recommend its use to END.

I'd definitely would like to hear a sort of remastered version of Mysterious Forest, which was the Village of the Elves' music theme.
Another set of great ideas!
That said, because the Celtic version sounds too cheery, I'm not too partial to its use, though; it doesn't feel like it fits the tone and atmosphere of Na Nal's Elven Village. How about this version:
Genso Suikoden Arrange Collection Vol. 1 1:2 - Mysterious Forest instead? Although, now that I think about it, we could always use the Celtic version once Na Nal is liberated; does that sound like a good compromise?
(As a side note, if I was ever doing a Suikoden I Remake, I'd use this version of Mysterious Forest for it's destroyed phase:
Genso Suikoden Piano Collection Mysterious Forest [Genso Suikoden].)
That all said, if there's a song you liked, but I didn't think I'd fit, I'll still loop it for you. That way, you can personally mod the game for yourself. I've personally changed songs I didn't like in games where changing songs is possible, so I have no true reason not to help you guys out with your choices, this being a community based project and all; I'll just loop them after I do the one's for project.

Speaking of Na Nal, I think it absolutely needs an overhaul!
When I first heard about the Na Nalese being such a strong, stubborn people, I thought Na Nal would have the look to back that up, but nope, looks and sounds just about as boring as Nay's Human Settlement is supposed to be. If anything, I think the current Na Nal, except for the Elven part, could become a new Island Nation (because the Island Nations seriously needs more islands, at the very least) and then the Na Nalese should get the Island Nation they deserve.
I was thinking an island topped with a long-since dormant volcano would best represent the tone and atmosphere of the Na Nalese storyline. Axel could even have a some lines saying something like, "Even though the volcano that once created this island lies dormant, the Na Nalese can no long afford to be! Although we all hope that our volcano never erupts again, we Na Nalese must become our home island's eruption, creating new opportunities for our Island Nations just like our volcanic home created for us!". We could even do a situation like with Greenhill where the overhauled Na Nal has a happy song at first (even though Greenhill uses it's occupation song for it's preoccupation phase) and use the Na Nalese Town music for it's occupation phase because that song sounds like something that represents what Cray and the Governor of El Eal would have planned for Na Nal.
Along with the Island Nation of Mordo (which should also get expand as well, especially that mountian), the current Na Nal could always become an optional island to explore instead of being of storyline importance. Also, the Island Nations, at the very least, needs one active volcano dungeon as an optional place to visit; it's a just proper place to have. Also, the volcano dungeon had me thinking of Wind Waker with it's snow and ice mini-dungeon. So, I was thinking maybe a new optional Island Nation topped with snowy mountains might work as a vacation spot similar to what Mordo is supposed to be.
