Arrow Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) After several of my friends got me into Final Fantasy XIV, I fell in love with the game so hard that I've been playing pretty regularly for a year and a half straight now. The game has an incredible soundtrack, with over 400 songs, and I wanted to see an OCR album for it. Of course, 400+ songs is insane, to the point where this game has a legit Guinness World Record for the most original music in a video game. With that much music, and since XIV isn't the cultural touchstone something like VI or VII is (WHICH IS A TRAVESTY), I couldn't guarantee I'd be able to get enough interest in this for even the standard four-disc type OCR album. So instead we're going for a smaller, targeted idea here. The concept is simple: an album specifically for the area themes of the game. This includes city-states, towns, villages, the various zones you travel through, etc. I'm hoping to direct a sequel album in the future centered on battle/dungeon/boss/primal/raid/PVP themes, but let's see how this one does first. If you're interested, please look through the list of 47 potential sources below (cut down from my original list of 120, lol), complete with YouTube links, and if anything jumps out at you and you'd like to remix it for the project, let me know! Everything on a single line uses the same basic source for several in-game remixes, so I've listed them together, and you'd basically be claiming that one "melody" for a single remix, so to speak, rather than three or four different songs. If you're familiar with the XIV soundtrack and actually want to remix a source not in this list, and it's an area theme like the rest, then also let me know. I would like to see this released within a year, but I do not currently have any specific deadlines in mind otherwise. I'll decide that down the line, once I see how many people are interested in the project.

Manji Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Oooh, yes please! I absolutely adore this game and soundtrack - could I claim A New Hope/Sultana Dreaming? Aside, I cannot wait to see what Oa does with Nobility Sleeps because that is basically a perfect piece of music, don't @ me OceansAndrew and Arrow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculously Garrett Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I've never played any Final Fantasy Games, but I'm interested in The Twin Faces of Fate. I'll take that one. Does it have to be any genre specifically? Arrow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garpocalypse Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I'd consider joining but I am really only interested in doing a remix of an old battle theme that i've wanted to do since I heard it when 1.0 launched and has since been repurposed as a heavensward dungeon theme. If you open up the limitations in the future look me up and i'll stake my claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt I'll be opening up the limitations for this album, but as I mentioned in the OP, I plan on doing a sequel album after this one that's specifically battle themes, so that one (assuming you're talking about "Quicksand", which was Thanalan 1.0 battle theme and now is Sohm Al Hard) would be perfect for that. I'll definitely let you know when that one gets started. Garpocalypse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronald Poe Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I personally would be interested in "Roar of the Wyrm" and "Apologies" (I'm planing on mixing them). I was thinking about a Dubstep meets me sorta style for the mix. Here's an example of my style. Please give me a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hylianonbi Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Hey there! If this project is still alive and well I would love to do Whisper of the Land and maybe a couple of others if they are still open after I finished this one. I am also a huge fan of this game so would love to contribute in any way that I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Skulls Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Is this still a thing? I actually already made 3 remixes from XIV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vodoú Queen Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I, too, am a huge fan of XIV. And am still actively playing the game. If this is still ongoing, let me know as well. I know it's the end of Shadowbringers now, but since I can't do any of the open world / town themes from it, I'm willing to do any from ARR forward that aren't yet taken. I'd have to see what's available and if getting a MIDI of the work is possible, but I am up for the challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
