Ferdk confessed that he liked the Final Fantasy series the most and did some covers of some individual tracks from most of the series. It was until he did a Shadow of the Colossus medley on September 8, 2011. His next medley came on November 10, 2011 with themes from Sonic the Hedgehog, which turned out to be somewhat of a breakthrough. Next in line was the credits theme from Resident Evil 3, the League of Legends main theme, and the Jet Stingray stage from Mega Man X4. After doing the first battle theme from Final Fantasy IX, Ferdk did four songs in a Christmas medley.
On March 15, 2012, Ferdk did a medley of Contra featuring Dr. Pez, marking the first time he posted a remix with another YouTube user collaborating. Next came a medley with songs from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and then the Flying Battery Zone from Sonic & Knuckles. He also did themes from Batman: Return of the Joker, which separated into three video clips involving three acts. After doing the intro theme from Mega Man 5, Ferdk did a battle theme medley that ranged between Final Fantasy to Final Fantasy VI.
The next cover Ferdk did was the Isaac battle theme from Golden Sun. Next came the Spetsnaz Spawn Theme from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and then the Team Rocket grunt battle theme from Pokemon Gold & Silver.

He followed it up with seven consecutive individual covers involving themes from the first Final Fantasy game. The next cover was Bloody Tears from Castlevania II: Simon's Quest.

With Undertale becoming a global phenomenon, Ferdk decided to do some covers of some themes within the game. After three individual covers from Undertale, Ferdk did the main theme from Dark Cloud. Two covers involving the Mega Man NES series featured the first Dr. Wily stage from Mega Man 5 and the first Dr. Wily stage from Mega Man 2.
The next time Ferdk had someone else collaborate with him would be Insaneintherainmusic, who was featured in the Box 16 cover from Danganronpa. His next big breakthrough was Stand Your Ground from Final Fantasy XV. Shortly afterwards, Ferdk did a random video game medley as requested by Patreon followers.
