Wild Arms: ARMed and DANGerous - History

[Kinslayer]

@ K.B. I can whistle, and I mean really whistle, if you let me know what tracks need a whistling track, I'll have Jade get in touch with the reMixers when she gets back and we'll see what needs done

[Saunders]

Saunders, thank you for your offer; please feel free to take and host as you desire.

Done. http://therks.com/public/Wild_Arms_minipsf.rar

Eliot joined!!!

$20 that he'll friggin blow ur socks off with whatever he makes.

[The Vagrance]

This project is becoming increasingly ridiculous.

Anyone who takes that bet is a HUGE fool. We know Mr. E will deliver. I'll hold on to my $20 and agree with you. :nicework:

So....this is kinda like the all-star game of remixing now? Who's down for home run derby...with REMIXES.

[Kinslayer]

Not entirely, there's a few new reMixers here as well, myself and Theophany included...

Fuck yeah demolition derby of remixing!!!!!!!

[avaris]

OMFG having noobs on projekts meanz it suckaz :tomatoface:


:)

[Level 99]

Every all-star game usually has a rookie or two, right?

And I like the demolition derby idea too. Let's do that.

[Kinslayer]

I suddenly see JaDE having another purpose for her whip once she returns... XD

Now this project is what I call a pleasant surprise. I thought I'd be really old before this game got a remix project, considering how the Wild ARMs series was labeled a cult classic. Waiting for this to be released in circa 2012 will be like waiting for Christmas...times 5,000. That's how I'm excited for the next 3-4 years of OC Remix projects. Five of them, including this one, are arrangements from games I'm a fan of. Jade Alan Haruno, this project was a (beep)ing genius idea. As you should expect, I can hardly wait for the remixes of the 8 battle themes, but there are others I'm anticipating. I'll be devastated if any of those five projects get canned.

Well I've been gone for quite some time. I haven't posted in a while.. I miss you guys... :(

and what a charming post by GTA Hater. Though I am hoping this project gets released A LOT earlier then 2012. Just saying. :P Also no way that project will be canned, I think. Making awesome progress and only in such a short period of time. It was originally my idea, but thank the fans for bringing this thread back to life. ^_^

[Arcana]

I'm a newbie too. I think that, if I'm sandwiched in between hordes of awesome, my track will be awesome simply because I'm in the presence of so much awesome.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!! hehehe

and the list has been updated. Come on, go go go! I want more WIPs!!!!!! Lots of folks are doing a wonderful job so far... and Arcana, any new update? :D For a newbie, you're still great and I love ya.

I've been working on it. I'm trying to finalize the composition now... I've got a number of bad transitions that I haven't decided how I'm going to fix yet.

[LuIzA]

oh snap.

Jade's back.. I need to stop slacking off haha.

[Kinslayer]

LuLza's not the only one...I haven't done anything for weeks...and me and Theophany haven't been able to collab online in a while...

[KyleJCrb]

LuLza? roflz

[Arcana]

I Lulzed too.

[LuIzA]

I Lulzed too.

LuLza? roflz

LuLza

hahahahha. damn high-case I's looking so much like low-case L's.

[LuketheXjesse]

I will begin my track...uh...sometime...

...

I really gotta start getting more sleep or I'll never get any music done. :(

[LuIzA]

as of now, I'm actually done with "Taboo Storyteller"'s arrangement. I just need to record it for real and it's finished :)

[bjkmenu]

I'm very excited to be a part of this. I hope to have a WIP soon. I layed the groundwork down, now to completely learn it and add some flavor....it'll take me a few sessions.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

CONGRATS to Luiza for our 2nd completed track! It's so full of awesomeness. =)

Welcome to bkjmenu for joining our project. =)

I'm also asking to spread the word... I need more remixers! Only 10 songs left - 5 tracks on each disc. =)

Oh p.s. Theophany has done an incredible job so far on Defeated! Looking forward to what Yashafan can do as far as vocals. =)

[Kinslayer]

You shall not be disappointed...

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

You shall not be disappointed...

You're thanked a million times. If it weren't for you, Theophany, wouldn't have made an awesome remix. =)

[LuIzA]

CONGRATS to Luiza for our 2nd completed track! It's so full of awesomeness. =)
thanks :)

now this effectively got me extremely curious.

So that's where you been. *slaps*

I won't be able to turn in a WIP without having the song mostly done, since its going to have so many recorded elements. >_> I need to finish my acoustic solo album before Christmas so I can give it to family. I'm hoping all this stuff I have to do is going to "slide together" somehow so I can accomplish everything. :D

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Welcome The Oinkness too into the project. =)

[SelphieFF8]

*instantly dies*

I love you guys for making this! Wild ARMs is one of my most favorite RPGs of all time! The music was absolutely amazing! I can't wait for the finished product! I won't spoil it until it's done so please be sure to keep us updated!

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Hey everyone! Let's make these WIPs happen on or before the date of Nov. 20th! The date is obviously coming close and I want as many as possible! I want to give everyone a gift on Thanksgiving as a thank you from me! (A preview track! hehe) If you care to be on it, give me something soon! THANKS!!!!!!

[Brandon Strader]

Welcome The Oinkness too into the project. =)
My friends just call me "The"

I'll see if I can whip (hah!) up a WIP by the 20th. If I get in da zone, I'll have one earlier than that. :)

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

You're important! It's THE Oinkness friend. :P haha

And jeez... this whip thing is getting out of hand. I haven't pressured a single person. :P

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

BUMPING THIS!

10 more days until the first WIP date...where are my updates?!

[HitoriJaNai]

There will be an update. Soon.

As soon as the notes become comprehensible to me. :razz:

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

I'm likin' this! Getting updated WIPs.... come on people! =)

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

2 songs opened up...Fishy dropped out of the project. We're back up to 12 songs left to claim. Fishy has school to finish so I don't blame the guy. I guess we're looking at mostly electronic in this album. lol

I guess we're looking at mostly electronic in this album.

I can dig that.. Sista..

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

I can dig that.. Sista..


hahahahaha well not ALL of it....'cos Luiza rocks and all. =)

[KyleJCrb]

Time to go scouting at DoD!

Oh wait, that's just what I would do. Guitar wankery for the win.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Yeah, I do want more rock/guitar folk. I will look there in the next few days. Planned on it. =)

[Level 99]

Guitar wankery, I still love calling it that. Sorry to hear about Fishy, but I'm sure there will still be plenty of rocking going on.

[K.B.]

Time to go scouting at DoD!
Well, OA has dropped Team England due to disinterest, but in his place steps DoD competitor Hoha (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=IQD&as_q=Hoha&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=dod.vgmix.com&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=off)! Welcome aboard, man!
There is merit in this.

[KyleJCrb]

Yes, Hoha is good.

EDIT: Looks like the newly-posted Dual Dragons did a cover called "The Fight We Can't Avoid (http://www.thedualdragons.com/download%20section.html)" (very bottom of the page) from WA1, so they're fans. Ask 'em!

[Theophany]

Yes, Hoha is good.

Actually, Dan just finished mastering his album, and I'm talking to him about a possible collaboration after Wild Arms, so really, this might be the best time.

I could e-mail him and see if he'd be up for taking one of the open tracks...

EDIT: I e-mailed him to see if he'd be up for taking one of the open tracks.

[GTAHater836]

Abbey and Warrior's Whistle are listed in greyish green. Does this mean they're closer to completion than "substantial WIP"?

[LuIzA]

I was wondering the same... I would think so though.

[Rayza]

Abbey and Warrior's Whistle are listed in greyish green. Does this mean they're closer to completion than "substantial WIP"?

I think it's just a mistake on Jade's part. Mine should be a regular WIP.

[LuketheXjesse]

I guess I'll start my wip tommorow...been pretty busy but I can do it.

[The Dual Dragons]

Hi guys, well, you can mark ''Battle ZEIK'' as taken by The Dual Dragons ;)
Pity that doing medleys mess up the track list hehe, so little to take from these short, but great tracks.

- Dan

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Okay, poopie. I didn't get any notifications of this thread until the last post from Lunar. I don't know what's up with that. It's been happening a lot.

I wanna say BIG thanks to Kyle for bringing it up, Theophany for contacting the Dual Dragons and the Dual Dragons actually joining up!! This is awesome! =) It's dope what you guys do when I'm not around...this is totally helpful and I appreciate it.

Btw, dark green is "substantial WIP" meaning it has potential and it's near to completion. :P I have no doubt Rayza will be done. He has a solid idea and plus he's a vet. I don't need to worry about him and his work. As far as ilp0's track...it just needs mastering by bLiNd and it will be done. Jordan has just been busy finishing up his PC. He reformatted and etc... you all know what that means.

[Theophany]

I wanna say BIG thanks to Kyle for bringing it up, Theophany for contacting the Dual Dragons and the Dual Dragons actually joining up!! This is awesome! =) It's dope what you guys do when I'm not around...this is totally helpful and I appreciate it.

Well, I had to contribute SOMETHING seeing as my Demon Tower WIP is currently non-existent :tomatoface:
Also, Dan is the man (his brother too). They do no wrong. :wink:

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

hahaha.... nah man, it's ok. you've been busy and have 2 other WIPs... Don't be too hard on yourself.. :P

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

okay! One more blue/completed track by ilp0! Awesome job!!!!!! w00t!!

and great progress by bjkmenu!

Keep 'em coming people! :D

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Happy wip day!!!!

[Cyril the Wolf]

I may have actually had something if I didn't have a gig with my band tonight. ALL MY PLANS ARE RUINED!!!

I mean I can play the entire track on bass, and that was going to serve as my intro, and then I was gonna build on it from there, but I use my recording gear live....

Also, 3 weeks until the end of the semester.

Those are my excuses, and here is my apology for not having anything and not able to provide you with anything.

Sorry!

[Rayza]

For the environment.. Lets turn more tracks green..

[LuketheXjesse]

I pretty much have the same excuse as Cyril.

I COULD have something tommorow, though. But that's a BIG maybe.

[KyleJCrb]

Sorry I don't have a WIP for my 45-minute kazoo/desk drum/acoustic guitar/toy keyboard medley yet.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

I pretty much have the same excuse as Cyril.

I COULD have something tommorow, though. But that's a BIG maybe.

Your goal from the start was to give me something on the last day. You too have had time. =P No excuses.

[K.B.]

Sorry I don't have a WIP for my 45-minute kazoo/desk drum/acoustic guitar/toy keyboard medley yet.
Deadlines shmedlines. Just make it happen.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Welcome 8 Bit Instrumental to the team! They have claimed Battle MOTHER. Maybe another song too...waiting to hear back from them. If you've never heard of them or their stuff, check out their website!! They got awesome music. =)

www.8bitinstrumental.com/ (http://www.8bitinstrumental.com/) It's a Brazilian website, but you can get the translated version on Google. Enjoy.

[KyleJCrb]

Excellent, 8BI is a class act. Not only do they make great remixes, they also work fast.

[The Vagrance]

Deadlines shmedlines. Just make it happen.

WIP 2 sent *breathes*.
;D

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

WIP 2 sent *breathes*.
;D

AWESOME work, Dan! I think this is my favorite thing by you up-to-date! Yes, even way better then the track you provided for FFIV project in my opinion! :D You've made a lot of progress since the last time so I hope the next time you give me something, it's almost done. GREAT JOB! :nicework:

It's green, of course! :-o OH and I forgot to mention, THANK YOU for giving me something.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

WELCOME Platonist to the team!!

[evktalo]

Whoo, great new additions! Welcome!

Hoping to be in the green in the WIP list soon!

--Eino

[K.B.]

http://fashionarchives.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/timgunnr.jpg
I had to look this one up to get it.

Wait... Heidi's hosting a show? Why did nobody tell me this before?!?!?

Also: make it nice work!

[LuIzA]

Jade, how is the preview coming along? (is it thanksgiving yet?)

[LuketheXjesse]

Thanksgiving is tomorrow, silly.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

She lives in Brazil so she probably doesn't know when it is. Don't be so hard on her. =P

and I got some bad news... I am just learning these news too.

The preview track is gone. Forever....gone. And I was almost done too. I am so sad... You got no clue. I dedicated my whole Sunday working on it and all the editing was for nothing. NOTHING SAVED!!!!

[GTAHater836]

So whoever was creating the preview(s) closed a program without saving it? I don't mind because...if you measure completion by individual tracks and how far along the WIPs are, it hardly amounts to 1/8 completion. I could live with waiting until 1/4 of the entire project was complete before hearing a previews.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Nah... The plan was to give a preview track out by Thanksgiving day. I have 30 tracks to preview which means that will be one long track. I rather do it every few months since this is a big project with 79+ songs.

I was the one working on the preview track, but I figured out that some songs were corrupted and a lot of songs weren't saved as my edit. Regardless - it doesn't matter now. I'm almost done with the thing again...I'm going to render it tonight so it should be out soon.

THIS IS FOR THE FANS, THE SUPPORTERS, THE ARTISTS - who all helped me make this come true. It's a way of thanks.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Okay everybody.... Preview track is on the first page with all the album project info! ENJOY!

[Arcana]

There's some radically intense stuff in that preview. All that from only two months, too... very awesome.

[GTAHater836]

I imagined the sci-fi tracks (like Holy Mother of Darkness) would be more trance-driven, the magic/fantasy settings to be more epic overtures, and the west/olde tyme settings to be other genres (but not modern), but this is sounding good. PLEASE, video game and music gods and sciences! Let this one get an EXCELLENT reception!!!

[K.B.]

Okay everybody.... Preview track is on the first page with all the album project info! ENJOY!
I came.http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/kewlguy715/invisiblesquare.png

[HitoriJaNai]

Whoa, that was exhilarating...

Also, I just noticed the new special thanks thing on the front... or was it there already? Anyways, yeah, glad to see my name up there, let me know if there's anything at all that I can do as always... :D

[JH Sounds]

Heh, I knew that mute trumpet sample sounded familiar. It's nice to hear Arcana making good use of it. :wink:

[halc]

wow Jade, awesome preview track

all the other songs put mine to shame. i need to get the ball rolling on that again :)

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Thanks for all the comments so far! I hope everyone has a very Happy Thanksgiving! SPREAD THE LOVE! Tell everyone about it! Please leave more comments too! :D (preview track is on the first page in case people wonder....)

This couldn't have happened without all of you. YOU ROCK!!!

[LuIzA]

wow, this project is gonna be soooooo awesome. :D

and Luke, we have no thanksgiving here, so I really have no idea when it is or even what it's about, all I know is that people eat turkey in thanksgiving haha. :P

[Theophany]

Wow, that's some pounding trance you got there. Who's the one other remixer who did an orchestral tune? With the choir? I got your back, man :P

This preview is insane. Amazing work everyone!! :nicework:

[Vampire Hunter Dan]

Maybe I will add the drum kit afterall XD

[KyleJCrb]

wow, this project is gonna be soooooo awesome. :D

and Luke, we have no thanksgiving here, so I really have no idea when it is or even what it's about, all I know is that people eat turkey in thanksgiving haha. :P

It's about European immigrants meeting and making peace with the American indians a few years before coming in and taking over their land, moving them to reservations and bulldozing their burial grounds to build Walmarts.

And food.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Who's the one other remixer who did an orchestral tune? With the choir? I got your back, man :P

This preview is insane. Amazing work everyone!! :nicework:

Look at the list and follow it homie. =P I'm sure you're referring to Vampire Hunter Dan though... amazing song, isn't it? One of the best man!

[LuIzA]

And food.

That's all that matters :P

[Emunator]

Really killer preview :-D Some highlights would have to be Level 99, ilp0, Theophany, Joker, Hy Bound, VHD, Jovette, Rayza, and this mystery dude (or dudette?) at the beginning. That first song sounds REALLY professional!

Thanks for sharing, though! Which were the two tracks that got left off though? Maybe the first post needs to be updated, but I only see DJ Mokram not having a WIP in the preview track :?

Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving :-)

[Jewbei]

finally im on a pc!..but yeah im really loving the preview track the first track wow im looking forward to hearing the finished version on that one. i liked hybound, Luiza, abg, Level 99 track as well. i cant wait to get my laptop back im pumped

dang jade i want to know who did the first track! lol

[avaris]

Thanks for throwing my track in there jade. :) Once I move into my new place I can finally redo the instrumentation and add all of the percussion and other bits n bobbs.

[Level 99]

Just had a hearty listen to this, finally.

Oh man, all these great songs, and there's definitely some great representation from multiple genres. That first song...that secret is just itching me to no end, I wanna know who did it!? I really can't pick out which I liked the most, but I definitely approve of all the guitar representation as well. Flippin' awesome preview track. Looks like I gotta step my game up a notch *cracks knuckles*

Ladies and Gentlemen:


Let's rock.

[Wintermute]

Quite an amazing preview track. Gets me hyped to be part of this awesome project. :)

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

As far as the first song that starts up.... I cannot reveal the secret. You're all just gonna have to wait. =P I will tell that person though what you all thought....I'm sure they'll be satisfied. =)

bLiNd cannot provide anything yet because he is working/fixing his music PC. Just the other day his hard drive died so everything he did was for nothing (and he was almost done) so maybe he'll make the next preview track. Or I hope so.

As far as the other 2 WIPs that did not make it, I cannot reveal the other artist because I haven't had time to get back to them about their WIP. Dj Mokram asked nicely not to be apart of the first preview track because of his preference.

[Global-Trance]

Heh, Jade I wonder when you're gonna let the cat out of the bag.

[Theophany]

bLiNd cannot provide anything yet because he is working/fixing his music PC. Just the other day his hard drive died so everything he did was for nothing (and he was almost done) so maybe he'll make the next preview track. Or I hope so.

Damn, that's awful... D:

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Well, thanks to you peeps I got another completed/finished track. The Dual Dragons finished pretty quickly and it sounds extremely pro. They will def be on the next preview track.

But sad news too... Halc dropped his song... Alone in the World is up for grabs. =( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzfHjwAKGLo

[K.B.]

But sad news too... Halc dropped his song...
Oh no he... I'm going to give him hell for that.

Edit: hell was given (or more precisely, shit, since I forgot I was supposed to be giving), and he had a good reason. Can't force inspiration (only perspiration... ok, I'll stop). Plus he's a freaking remix factory anyway.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

lol Thanks for the help, but I don't know why he can't be inspired...when 30 other people are doing just fine in that department. =P

Willrock gave me a completed track...and took on another one. It will be a new kind of style for him. ^_^

[PROTO·DOME]

"Alone in the World is up for grabs" Not any more! Wa-cha! ^w^

[halc]

proto just pwned me

[Kinslayer]

Wow, so much has happened since I've been on hiatus, well, guess what guys, I plan on being much more involved thus far...I'll be reconnecting with Theophany to get that track back online and I also plan on buying stuff I need to become a composer myself...love the preview track, there's some really funky shit going on here...I love it!!! Kudos to everyone who put out a track so far...AMAZING!!!

[Chernabogue]

This preview track is really awesome! Can't wait to hear the next one :razz:

BTW, I'd like to give a try to "Omen of Ostracism", but I didn't find a midi file of the track. Can someone give me this midi track, if someone have it ? Thanks.

EDIT : Well, I didn't find a midi file or even a music sheet for this track. I'll try to make a WiP without it.

[Otakatt]

Boomerang Flash holds a special place in my heart. When I was younger, it was totally one of my burp songs.

It better be awesome. *shakes fist*

(But seriously, looking forward to this, even if I'm not that familiar with the WA 1 OST!)

There are only a few Midis for Wild ARMs... and I know that isn't one of them. Can I hear something by you first before you decide to claim a track? :D Thanks for being really interested!

Burp song? lol Maybe I shouldn't be asking... haha but thanks for the support! I hope you have listened to the preview track (it's on the front page of this thread).

[Otakatt]

Ah! I actually wasn't aware of a preview. Shows how observant I am... but yeah, this sounds great so far!

[Kinslayer]

Jade keeps us so up to date on everything... :P

[LuIzA]

almost all tracks are claimed. awesomeness.

[Kinslayer]

Only 5 tracks left to claim...huzzah!

[LuIzA]

Ok, so I finally started playing the game today. so far, so good.. I adore the fact that the game doesn't change screens when you enter a house, and when it does change screens, there's pretty much no load time. I'm still getting used to the whole system though.

[Brandon Strader]

I am starting on mine today... just thought I'd let you know. But I have to find an mp3 of it first for reference so I'll do that now. :)

Also you can put me down for collabs,
vocals (clean / heavy),
6-string guitars (no whammy),
5-string bass,
acoustic,
recorder,
tambourine,
bongos,
live drums (currently only 3 mics though -- 2 overheads and 1 kick mic)

I'll personally be programming mine because I probably need double bass. Just so anyone who's interested, my kit is very dampened. I'm looking into picking up a 7-pack of drum mics and some new mic cables, we'll see how that goes but for the moment it's just 3 mics.

Working on The Cold Darkness (Dungeon)

[K.B.]

But I have to find a psf of it first for reference so I'll do that now (http://therks.com/public/Wild_Arms_minipsf.rar).

Don't worry man, already found the mp3 and turned in a very rough WIP (basically just the arrangement with placeholder instruments)

Hey, Wild Arms: Alter Code F is a remake of the original for the PS2 right? I'm gonna try to rent that from Gamefly

[LuIzA]

Making progress on both the game and Marsh. the game had a rather slow start, but it's really cool now... and I'm really stoked about how Marsh is turning out. :D

I love you LuIzA and Stevo. Your WIP is sounding great! The beginning of the game is a very slow start, but when it picks up...man... =) It's friggin' awesome. MAYBE you can play Wild ARMs 2 as well... =)

I have just updated the list everybody. Got a couple more WIPs in. Joshua Morse is def in the game now with a rough WIP, thank God. I was afraid he would also drop. Some other artists dropped because of scheduling so hopefully I will get some more WIPs in. Please speed this up guys. I've given you more then enough time to at least give me something rough.

Happy new year to everyone and hope you all had a great Christmas.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

BUMPING this!

Total of 8 tracks completed. This makes me REALLY happy. Vampire Hunter Dan & Oinkness is on my awesome team. W00000000000000t. Diggi Dis also claimed a track. Some have given me a WIP or updated their's. Thank you FFmusic Dj for giving me something and abg for updating.

5 tracks left to claim.... come on everybody. Please keep the tracks you claimed and do something to show me soon!!

[Chernabogue]

5 tracks left to claim.... come on everybody.

I hope you haven't forgot me ^^

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

I hope you haven't forgot me ^^

Nah I haven't. I just been busy with work. Recently I was only on updating info and stuff... but I got laid off today so I'll have plenty of time now to get back to you. lol Also to succeed on my New Year's Resolution - Complete games I'm playing and put on hold... so this should be fun overall. ^_^

OH and you bet your ass I might start on a Wild ARMs 2 project after this one so the fast you guys give me your tracks, the faster I can start an awesome project again. =P FOR EXAMPLE anything and anyone who looks like THIS, is number 1 in my book (btw, I did this real quick on Paint a while ago):

OK, thanks! Hope you won't be too busy with work anymore =)

[K.B.]

but I got laid off today
That SUCKS! Hope you're able to land a kickass, good-paying one soon-like.

Glad you're in a joking spirit about it, though. That employer of yours obviously didn't know the awesome musicalitynessity that he was helping to support.

OH and you bet your ass I might start on a Wild ARMs 2 project after this one
So, you're telling me it's good enough that I should get off my duff and finally put in those disks that have been sitting in my collection just collecting dust?

hahahaha Yeah... I didn't even work for a full 30 days and they laid me off plus 200 other people. They overhired. I wish I knew I was a temp so I didn't get so damn excited about my previous pay and benefits. MGM - FU.

and def man - WILD ARMS 2 IS REALLY GOOD. Just don't compare it to the first. Story goes a lot faster too and knight ninjas turn me....on. =)

For 4 months though I been wanting to claim FFX after Wild ARMs and I finally got the permission to do it because I don't want any other crazy project director to take it. Wild ARMs 2 is also mine though so no touchy that one either. =P

[GTAHater836]

JaDe ARaN HaRuNo: The Original Trilogy!

(beep) I hope this works! If I was making some freeware in the distant future, this "original trilogy" would be among the first collections of songs I'd turn to for back ground music!

By the way, February 20 is when you want at least 50 rough WIPs, right? I'm having trouble getting my facts straight on this one...

Dibs on being on the FFX soundtrack project

Easily my favorite FF game.

I concur. That is to say, please don't keep me off it when it happens. That was actually my first Final Fantasy game, and my personal favorite. *cue jumping around and ranting*

It also ended up being the first time I bought a full-fledged video game soundtrack. And it was wonderful! :-P

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

I enlist for helping out with managing or whatever for that! :D Luiza <3 FFX

Woah haha Well, I can enlist you to be one of the co-directors. Bahamut offered me the same a few months ago. Make sure to let me know what songs you want 'cos you got first dibs my friend. =P

Woah haha Well, I can enlist you to be one of the co-directors. Bahamut offered me the same a few months ago. Make sure to let me know what songs you want 'cos you got first dibs my friend. =P

Well, first dibs after me at least. Since I never get first dibs on other remix projects she gave me absolute first dibs and I took like 8 really good songs :P

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

I thought long and hard on whether to start FF8, FF9, or FFX. I'm glad to hear my decision didn't ruin your plans. :p

If I get some free time after Teen Agent's done, before I start mixing for FF9, I might claim another Wild Arms if you'd be interested in that. I had the same kind of brain-feeling about "The Sky is being torn apart" as I did for the Dungeon theme... If you wouldn't mind a song in a similar style. :x

[LuIzA]

whoa! it was the same for me! though after I played other FFs, I'd say FFIX is my favorite, FFX would be a very close second.

[KyleJCrb]

Am I the only person whose favorite, at least soundtrack-wise (though I did get about 10 hours into it) was FF5?

[Otakatt]

Am I the only person whose favorite, at least soundtrack-wise (though I did get about 10 hours into it) was FF5?

Yes. (Probably not actually. It was good) S'like me wondering if I'm the only person who thinks the FF8 ost is comparatively weak to the rest of the series, sans II.

FFX had a really great soundtrack. I have my fingers crossed that one of the tracks bLiNd took was the Seymour Battle theme. That'd be a delicious combination right there.

Though my musical favorites of the series is IV and XII, and the latter of which isn't even Uematsu material. :O And probably won't see a project or much coverage. Boo.

I don't know if I said it already but Jade directing WA2 in the future also seems awesome and totally gets my approval. I've actually put many hours in that game so I've more attachment invested in that game than the first. XD

[KyleJCrb]

S'like me wondering if I'm the only person who thinks the FF8 ost is comparatively weak to the rest of the series, sans II.

You're not. Of course, everything about FF8 was comparatively weak to the rest of the series...

Man, nobody likes 8. :(

Because it sucked.

No it didn't.

[Dissidia]

I like FFVIII alot, currently waiting for it to be released in psn europe. It's not my favourite, but it's in my top 4 (along with VII, IX and X).

[Otakatt]

Because it sucked.

Oh I don't think the game itself sucked. And it had some memorable tunes. I just wouldn't stick it in my top 5. I think it's a little overhyped like VII is, although I thought 7 had an excellent soundtrack.

To reply to everybody and Otaku,

I would have to agree with you and the others that FFVIII was weak in many areas and it definitely wasn't my favorite FF. I can't agree that it sucked because the story was very shocking and satisfiying to me. [SPOILER: The whole Squall and Rinoa who were destined to be together wouldn't have been born if Laguna and Julia would've been together.] There are a few songs I REALLY love from the soundtrack, but a lot of it lacked for the most part. Regardless, I would approve of any FF remix project in the future of OCR. =) FFV wasn't my favorite FF game either or soundtrack, but again, great tunes in that one too.

and I'm sorry to tell you, but Seymour Battle isn't Jordan's favorite on the soundtrack. =( Don't ask me why or how that is even possible... I think he's crazy. That's actually my favorite track on the soundtrack and the same for LuIzA. I actually wanna collab with her on that one. ^_^ It's too soon to tell though. It's also too soon to announce a huge project like FFX. That one is on a long hold.

I gotta admit it too, Wild ARMS 2 is probably better then the first. I have to finish that one though to give you a straight answer. =)

to be very honest, I really didn't like FFVIII. So many weak stuff, and other than a few very good tracks on the OST, the rest of it is just... meh..
Also, FFVIII has one of the worst villains I've ever seen, as in plot and depth. [SPOILER: Time kompression? what the hell is that? the worst part of it is, one character in the game (I forgot who) actually replies something along the lines of "oh we don't know, but it's bad, so we gotta stop it".... how's that for an evil masterplan???].

I'm actually surprised Seymour battle isn't up bLiNd's alley... but yeah, it's among my favorites, though not THE favorite. I just can't make myself NOT get up and dance when this song is playing.

[Fishy]

The black mages version is incredible. The OST version is so untapped potential imo.

I always preferred calm before the storm (which I will totally claim asap if that happens).

[Otakatt]

Ooo, that's a really great one too! I'm sure you'd do it justice. XD

And I had forgotten (blocked out?) all about Ultimecia and the end of the game that was just so.. thrown together. Bleh! But FF9 suffered a thrown together wtf last boss too imo. :P

[Bahamut]

While I liked Seymour Battle, my favorite has to be To Zanarkand, as simple as it is.

[bLiNd]

Seymour isnt a bad track, I just didnt like Nobuos crappy choice of sounds on a lot of his songs he made for the game. The composition is there, but sometimes his horns, drums, and misc sounds just make me go erk. I guess thats part of the curse of having producer ears...always critiquing sound choice and production :/

[Bahamut]

Sounds like some of my problems with FF7's OST :-( .

[Otakatt]

Haters. :(

I was 17 years old when I played FFVIII. I would have to replay it again to see your point of view...haha It's been so long. I'm 25 now... or no, almost 26. Holy shit, I'm getting old. haha

and oops, I thought it was your favorite...regardless, it needs to be one of the best tracks on the project.

Yes it was.

and I put you down. Don't forget 4 years from now. =P

[Vampire Hunter Dan]

For lack of anything else to do, I have to briefly jump to FF8's defense, as I seem to be just about the only person in the World who loves it. When I heard the OST, I hadn't yet played the game, and aside from a few tracks blowing me away (Liberi Fatali, of course), it was the first FF OST I'd heard that didn't do much for me.

I then played the game, and discovered it was important to reserve *all* judgement until one has finished Disc One...at least for me, that's where the atmosphere really started to come together, and I became hooked on the gameplay as well. The BGM, to me, fits *remarkably* well in the *context* of the game, and ever since, I've been a huge fan of the game and its soundtrack.

Also: it's the only video game ending that literally *never* fails to make me shed multiple tears.

[Monobrow]

Blue Fields is beauty <3

[Dj Mokram]

I'm with Dan on this one. It's important to notice what a soundtrack can do for the game.
Many songs that purists here would consider lacking are effective in their original context.
And sure most FF osts are enjoyable on their own, even if you haven't played them.
FFVIII maybe has less popularity, but its soundtrack still contains some great tracks worth mentioning:
The landing, Succession of Witches, Lunatic Pandora & Fisherman's Horizon, come to mind instantly.
But in this case, I think it's really more a question of experience and memories of the game.
On another note, I'm a huge fan of Sakimoto/Matsuo, so FFXII would be my favorite pick.

That being said, wasn't this originally a WILD ARMS PROJECT THREAD? :mrgreen:

[pu_freak]

What's a wild arms?

[Stitch Faced Angel]

An series of ARMs that is WILd and Crazy?

[Arcana]

Sorry I've been slacking, I'm going to get on my track and hammer out the rest of the big stuff.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Also: it's the only video game ending that literally *never* fails to make me shed multiple tears.

Yes! and FFX makes me shed multiple tears too. I think some of them are a bit harsh on FFVIII. I know it was weak, but I can't say I hate it. I would play it again just for the story.

That being said, wasn't this originally a WILD ARMS PROJECT THREAD? :mrgreen:

Hah, I know lately we been talking about FF, but it's ok. Wild ARMs has a slow period right now so it's ok to have fun and dream about future projects. =P

yeah it has a fairly good gameplay, but I didn't find it astounding. The OST does indeed fit the atmosphere of the game, but there are only a few tracks that I really like as music by itself.... but even as BGM, other FFs did a better job IMO.

(I also didn't like the ending haha.. but then again, there aren't a lot of game endings I do like.)

[bjkmenu]

Hey. I've been checking this thread alot.

Just thought I'd say that the Wild ARMs soundtrack is probably my favorite soundtrack. I used to listen to it religiously while practicing guitar for years. I used it as motivation...um, yeah. It's probably my favorite. Many hard drives crashed since I first got a hold of the soundtrack from zophar's domain all those years ago, but of course I always kept them safe on discs (psf files). I dig Alundra too.

Oh, and I'm still working on my track and possibly may tackle another, I'll see how the sessions go. I should have done a bit of research, but the guitar lead on I think the second or third song from the preview track sounded really great. i can't wait to hear the final product on that one. everybody else on the preview sounded amazing.

[K.B.]

Sounds like some of my problems with FF7's OST :-( .
This is why I love my innate placing of superlative value on arrangement. God blessed me with good taste. (though yes FF7 stands out as a sore thumb with regard to soundfont selection... though that's also a bit time-and-place)


And no, FF8 was good. Not great, but good and underrated. It simply came in the wake of FF7. That's all that needs to be said. Well, that and the FF8 OST is the last FF OST that I decided to keep in its entirety on my hard drive. Also, going along with VHD: the application of motifs was well-done and uniting, story-wise. Though the game didn't quite live up to its predecessors (in my opinion), it was still musically fantastic. After all, what would I be without The Stage Is Set? A poorer man. (and the arranged version of The Man With The Machine Gun!)


And sorry, Jade, I regret to inform you that I won't likely be spamming your future FFX thread. The game had such potential, but it remains a posterboy for the repercussions faced if you don't have a passable protagonist.

[Vampire Hunter Dan]

Oh, yah..as I mentioned, I've long believed I'm just about the only person who feels as I do about FF8. I absolutely adore the gameplay, story, music (as I said, mostly in-context, but many of the pieces on their own too), ending (which I feel has an emotional punch that no other game ending I've seen has) and..just everything. I wouldn't necessarily put it "above" or "below" any other FF, as that's tough to do, but it's easily in my top 4 of the series. Anyway, I'm not at all surprised you feel that way, because that seems to be the majority, and I'm quite used to it xD

Also: Wild Arms, Wild Arms, Wild Arms. Wild Arms.

Do you really want me to rant on Tidus? Because I can. Oh, how I can.

Bah, stick to your opinion. If you got nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. =P

My opinion is - the game is effing awesome and Tidus is a very sweet character.

[Monobrow]

It would have been a lot cooler if Tidus' voice had actually matured over time instead of being friggin whiny the whole game. That one voice over where he was actually not whining should have been his voice by the end :(

[Vampire Hunter Dan]

*makes a clear and present point of staying the bleeding heck out of this one*

[Arcana]

Ughhhhh there's a few changes in the way Logic 9 works compared to Logic 7 so a bunch of my song sounds different. Not that it was perfect to start but having to go through all of the drums and make sure the notes are held correctly is tedious and annoying :(

Yesterday, I got an idea for the project's title. Wild Arms: Tracks of Mass Destruction.
Well, it's again a "___ of ___" title, but why not ^^ ?

It IS off-topic. If we were discussing Wild ARMs characters, I'd have no beef. Save the Final Fantasy discussions until we actually make the FFX album!

So yeah, current update to all the current artists on my project -

Not naming any names or projects, but I'm extremely upset right now about a specific situation. One artist has finished a track for another project that he just recently joined whereas he hasn't given me any sort of WIP or reply (after PMing him twice in the last few months). I will be getting in contact with that artist to see if he's still interested or not.

Please let me know now (and this goes to EVERYONE) if you aren't serious about giving me anything, you totally need to drop this project. I am also not afraid to drop people if you don't speak up now. I can give those tracks to other artists that ARE interested. Some even want to claim a 2nd or 3rd song which is totally kool too. I don't want to attack anyone or seem unfair, but it's unfair to me that other project directors receive WIPs when they're on the bottom of their list, let alone completed wavs. I'm not only speaking for my own project, but for the other ones that were WAY before me.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Thanks for understanding guys!

[K.B.]

Jack van Burace was a model 16-bit protagonist. [WA1 plays far more like a SNES RPG than a PS1 RPG] Determined, fun-loving, caring, hilarious, and an all-around good guy. He wasn't as deep as characters have become since that time, but he still a solid, impactful backstory and a fleshed-out personality. However, I think the (nearly-)silent protagonist thing didn't work as well in WA1 than say CT because I was definitely playing as Jack, not Rudy. Which worked, however, because Jack was the freaking man.

And that's all I have to say because Thumper's mom told me to hush up.

Also because if I'm going to rant I should go all-out and make a thread about it Archaon-style. Of course, no comparison intended: Archaon is the undisputed king in that department.


Also, WIP it baby.

[Brandon Strader]

If Kyle Gass and Jack Black had a baby, his name would be K.B.

That is all.

It's just that every time I ever see a post by K.B., I think of that. x_x

But yeah, I'm honored to be claiming a second track. (nice save!)

I just had a really cool idea on the way home today and a good map of what I'm going to try for the song displayed itself in my puny, human brain. You said the track was a villainous theme, a theme of people being killed.

What I would like, is for everyone who ever reads this, to record about 1 minute of the most painful screaming you can muster... Think "Hey, I'm being killed!" The more the better. I want to incorporate all these different tracks of dying screams into the song and feature all of these different people prominently for their deathly performance.

You don't have to be a mixer to do this. But it would be preferred if your recordings are of a good quality with no static, etc.

I hope you will allow me to do this Jade. :) Also I hope you and blind can scream a duet of pain. Of course it would be best if you recorded your parts separately. :)

Holy crap - this is such an awesome idea. You are very creative Mr. Strader! =) See who you can PM to get such screams. I'm sure most wouldn't mind. lol I'll talk to Jordan about when we can do this. When will you be working on your track?

AND I JUST GOT ANOTHER FINISHED SONG - OHHHHHHHHHH!!! =) Jewbei's track is one of a kind! I'm proud of him - he has worked hard on it, despite the fact his laptop was down for a few months! I like serious remixers. He is def one. ;-) Thank you Jewbei.

Can't wait until the track with you and Tepid now! =)

[Jewbei]

hey no prob Jade if it wasnt for you and bLiNd i wouldnt had gotten that far thanks for pushing this out of me lol.


im really liking the new style im gonna stick with it so it can evolve into something even greater.

[Brandon Strader]

Well I just started learning a new recording program.. I did sort of "start" on the song, but it's just like 20 seconds worth of figuring stuff out. With the new program I can write as I go, and I don't have to like, do it in pieces anymore. I should be able to get better sounds for my music now though, because I will actually be able to hear what I'm working on while I'm doing it!

But um... I was sort of hoping just everyone who passed through here would see it and volunteer. I don't know where to begin with pming people, I think people get annoyed with them :I

[SpanishFly]

Let me just say, the idea of this being made is incredibly awesome. I was listening to the OST and was thinking of actually requesting this, and low and behold, it's actually being worked on...what're the odds, huh? :lol:

[Bahamut]

This project is gonna be good! :smile:

Wow, this means a lot guys. Thanks so much for your support!

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

BUMPIN' THIS!

Opened up 14 songs (if I know how to count) so I'm going to be looking for remixers sometime this week. If anyone would like to help with that or recommend anyone to me from DoD (with s/ns or e-mail addresses) it would be helpful. Thanks.

I'm really looking for rockers that can provide me something, but I'll still take electronic producers. I'm not shutting everyone out completely, I would just like to level this album with electronic/rock - 50/50.

[Nekofrog]

Didn't I have tracks claimed for this?

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Okay - we're good with Nekofrog. Thankfully we still got a kickass posted OC ReMixer on the project.

12 tracks left to claim.

[LuketheXjesse]

Posted a WIP on the project forums.

[Brandon Strader]

Hi. New song is 4:48 and is written, I'm recording some of the last guitar rhythms, then I'll do solo parts, bass, key elements...

There's 4 people who might be signed on for screams, including me, luke, Jade, and maybe blind? So I mean, that's a decent amount but I'd like to get a handful more people involved if possible. I'm going to try to ask a couple people but seriously, if you see this, please consider recording about a minute of anguished yells like if you're being killed. :)

Thanks

I'll admit that I'd really like to try for this, but it would be highly tentative for me currently.

Also I have couple of questions: When exactly is the deadline for this? Also exactly what kind of file formats is preferred? (I don't really have access to a recording studio or anything like that. I mean I'll be working of my laptop microphone.)

Thanks

[Brandon Strader]

320kbps MP3 is probably fine, I don't expect everyone to send a big ol' WAV file. It'll probably be 2 or 3mb for a minute of tortured yelling. I almost have the actual song done, I was just about to bring it down here and upload it for Jade to hear. I'm new to Cubase so I have yet to figure out how to do a highpass filter and stuff like that, so it's a bit thick. :(

I'm looking forward to all the screams from people! Feel free to email your mp3s to oinkness@gmail.com. Cyril and Biznut said they'd be interested on Irc, so this is going to be a pretty good turnout. I think even Hubbard said he'd try. I can't wait to hear what a sports announcer sounds like when he's being tortured. Not enough women though. Jade's going to have to record a few tracks to make up for it, and put on different voices. ;D

Oh, deadline... I don't think there is one. Just be comfortable I guess, you're not rushed, unless Jade says so!

[Emunator]

Oooh :-D I hope Cyril can do an awesome replication of his dying Zeromus voice for this, that would be pretty tight!

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Since this project started, I've had one deadline in mind, but I've wanted to keep that secret. The hint is in the deadlines themselves. I also don't want to announce that because it might not work out or it might release before....just depends on the artist's pace. I have been telling people lately the faster they give me tracks, the faster I can release their work aka project.

Brandon - the WIP sounds great, but it really does need those screams. =) I would ask Monobrow, Starla and LuIzA for female screams. See if they're interested.

[The Biznut]

Brandon was quite pleased with my screaming and asked me if I would post a link to the agonzing screams I sent him, so you could have an idea of what he is looking for. If you're stuff is along these lines, he'll be happy.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaugh (http://www.box.net/shared/ddq42ihh1h)

I was actually rolling around on the ground and writhing. I like to really get into my role, whatever it may be.


ASLO (its the new also)
I would like to be put on the AVAILABLE FOR COLLAB LIST, for vocals/guitarage/anything related to techno.
I am a tenor, and I sing well.

Alriiiight.

[JH Sounds]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaugh (http://www.box.net/shared/ddq42ihh1h)

I lolled for 1 minute and 45 seconds. Somehow I couldn't get the image of you screaming into a mic out of my head. :lol:

[GTAHater836]

One of you should scream like the Cruciatus Curse has been cast upon you!

Honestly, I doubt I could've come up with tormented screams myself.

[Kinslayer]

This...

Made me laugh...although I didn't have the same image just64helpin did, I was actually picturing a bad exorcism gone awry

[Brandon Strader]

Well I'd appreciate if you could either stop laughing, or not share the fact that you're laughing. It takes a lot of confidence to make a recording like this and any ridicule will undoubtedly make people feel self-conscious and possibly prevent others from contributing their performances. I say you guys should put your money where your mouth is and record your own tracks. Not so I can laugh at them. But for the song.

[KyleJCrb]

Wow. Serious business and all that, eh?

[Brandon Strader]

Wow. Serious business and all that, eh?
Serious monkey busi--err... wait... Seriously Wild ARMS a-flailin'

[The Biznut]

Thanks Brandon;

I'm not too concerned if people laugh. I'm pretty sure I chuckled when I listened to it.

Brandon said he wanted some screams and I was all set up to do it, so I just did it. If I am not mistaken, that is more than the rest of you lazy farts have done, so get crackin! This man needs some files already! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!!

[Brandon Strader]

Yeah.. I was just defending my dear, productive Biznut. :D

You could all learn a lesson from him!

[Kinslayer]

I'd record a scream track, but I'm not involved in the remixing...sowwy.

[Brandon Strader]

I was thinking of crediting all the screamers as some kind of title. Like "Brandon Strader and the Souls of the Dead" Hahah... Like they did Fabul's Men Choir for FF4.

If I were you, I'd jump at the chance to get onto a song so easily. ;)

[Kinslayer]

Well, Oinkness, you'll have to give me about a week, I'm not using my shitty mic, and I'll have access to the really good one at work next week, I would have done it last night, but I didn't have my flash drives...

[Brandon Strader]

Sounds cool, Yashafan2004. ;)

Looking forward to it.

[Kinslayer]

I'm sure pfft...

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Yeah, people can scream for Brandon's track. They don't need to be remixers. :P You'll also be credited for those screams on the project CD booklet. How kool is that? :-D I guess, anyway....

The list is really colorful now! I AM receiving a shitload of WIPs. Progress is going very well. bLiNd won't (shouldn't) be providing anytime soon for this project which is acceptable because he has many tracks to do for other projects and his original work. Nekofrog is extremely busy with his marriage life and career, which is also very acceptable. I am willing to wait for these 2 remixers to supply their work. Same goes to FFmusic Dj, Rayza, McVaffe, & Stephen Kennedy. I'm unsure of Beatdrop's status, though. He might drop because he's working on his original album, but he hasn't gotten back to me. I'm also willing to wait for his work, but it's up to him. Everyone else - I'm waiting to hear back.

[Kinslayer]

colorful eh? that's cool, I wish I could remix...:(

Anyways, I'll just sit here on the sidelines till my real job in this project starts :P

[Brandon Strader]

You'll also be credited for those screams on the project CD booklet. How kool is that?

Current working title for the screamers is "Souls of the Dead" :D

[Jack&TheBox]

Alright..uhh..Don't know what to say here. Just wanted to voice my irrevocable support for this project, and, personally, I can't wait to hear the polished result.

I am curious about one thing, however: I see you're covering the Japanese ending credit sequence, but what about the English version? It's more of a personal thing for me, but that staff roll is one of the greatest compilations I've heard for a game. Have you thought about creating a mashup of songs like that for a preview video for the project? I know it's not Michiko Naruke, it's Chuck Doud, but IMO it's a much better song.

Just my two cents; I didn't really want to go through all 40+ pages looking for someone else to have mentioned it. Take it or leave it! I'm happy enough just seeing Battle Demon twice.

I'm sure JaDE would be more than willing to hear your two cents, however, it has been long since decided that she would go with the Japanese credit roll, it was her decision as director, it could be added to the bonus album if somebody really wanted to do it, but I highly doubt she's going to add it with the project as far as it is.

[Jack&TheBox]

No doubt. I do realize it's a teensy-weensy bit too late for any kind of input, but I was just curious as to why it was overlooked, more than anything else, to be honest with you.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

The English song has already been considered a while back and I have a plan for it - but it won't be announced yet. :)

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Hey, I've got an idea, when you print up the album credits. You could put SIXTO SOUNDS OMFG and some less appreciated bastards




you can't deny that would be funny

What? Oinkness, you starting drama yet again on OCR?

[Brandon Strader]

I don't start drama, I start Visually-striking Classic Horror™

I have no idea what Oinkness is on about. Clarification desired.

EDIT: Clarification received. All I can say is get over yourself, Oinky.

I am getting really annoyed with all of the people who keep yelling drama. There's no drama, I just made a silly seinfeld-esque observation. Am I not spongeworthy? I am not jealous nor arrogant, I thought having someone's name larger than everyone's devalued their contribution. I'm a man of fairness. Well that's that. Anyone who has anything to ask or say feel free to contact me, in the meantime, thread derailed -- time to get back on topic. :)

And to everyone who keeps calling me Oinkness. Come on. I know it doesn't take that long to learn a new name.

[KyleJCrb]

You will always be Oinkness in my heart.

[Brandon Strader]

You will always be Oinkness in my heart.
You got some oinkness clogging those arteries

[Kinslayer]

Come on. I know it doesn't take that long to learn a new name.

I dunno, I still have people calling me Yashafan...

[KyleJCrb]

I dunno, I still have people calling me Yashafan...

You'll never live that one down, just like Luke never lived his original name down. Sorry Yash.

[LuketheXjesse]

I did change my name back for a reason.

[Jack&TheBox]

The English song has already been considered a while back and I have a plan for it - but it won't be announced yet. :)

The anticipation I had for this project just skyrocketed out of control. Wild ARMs was the first OST I ever owned. In fact, it was the first album I ever owned, period. That said, the fact that you guys are putting so much effort into this project is incomprehensible. It made me actually try and get a few people together to attempt to record a version of the English credits, but if you have something planned I won't intrude. This is your thing, and I hope it succeeds beyond all expectations.

Good luck out there.

What ideas did you have in mind? Considering the English credits song is long, I actually wanted a few artists to work on it together as a massive collab. I won't name who yet, but any ideas or wanting to provide is excellent.

[LuketheXjesse]

So uh, noone seems to be critiquing my WIP at all. Is the arrangement good? Should I keep going with it? Anything to mention production wise?

I mean, if it's just THAT bad, you can tell me. It won't hurt my feelings.

Well I haven't heard your WIP, bubbah. Remember I asked but you were all like "meh.. finding a link... would take too long... snore..."

;) I bet it's awesome.

[Kinslayer]

eh, I feel like the most misinformed person when it comes to this project, and I'm supposed to be on the staff...the only WIP's I've heard are Theophany's, and that's because he always asks my opinion of them before he submits them.
