Wild Arms: ARMed and DANGerous - History

[Salluz]

Jade, it's all good. I have an even better version. Lil' question: why am I not on the list?

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Jade, it's all good. I have an even better version. Lil' question: why am I not on the list?

I have not given the "complete" list yet. Was waiting on some re-mastered wavs and didn't want to call them completed yet until I had them. But your song was never completed so it's not counted. Any other question, contact me through e-mails. Not here.

[Cash and Change]

Preview sounds great, can't wait to hear the full album.

[GTAHater836]

Now that Bada(cartoon slide up sound effect): Boss Themes Volume I is slated for this month, is ARMed and DANGerous still going to launch on December 20 like JaDE ARaN HaRuNo had hoped?

Jade has said the djp himself confirmed that the album would release on 12/20 so it would coincide with the 15th year anniversary of the game. So we should be good! I can't believe we're under a month till release!

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Yup, yup, yup. Date is set in stone guys. Not going to change. Been wanting this baby out on that date for quite some time 'cos of the 15th anny. We're all working hard to finish this up, we're almost there. 17 more days! Get pumped! Show your support too, wear a WA signature at OCR! ^_~

[Kinslayer]

Yay, it's like an early Xmas present...I so happy!

[SuperiorX]

Yay, it's like an early Xmas present...I so happy!

Me too! And we only have like a week and half left! :)

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Hope you all enjoy this album... I know it is hard to satisfy everyone, but this style has been long overdue at OCR. May the hype be worth it all.

Do you have any "surprises" in store for us with the release Jade? I noticed the track listing has disappeared from the first post...

YOU STOP THAT SPECULATION RIGHT NOW. Otherwise Jade's gonna steal Christmas.

[SuperiorX]

YOU STOP THAT SPECULATION RIGHT NOW. Otherwise Jade's gonna steal Christmas.

I'M SORRY SANTA PLEASE DON'T TAKE AWAY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!! I'll be good I promise :oops:

[Tuberz McGee]

Ha. It comes out on my Mum's birthday.
She played this game with my uncle back when I was first born.
That is SOOO rad. I've gotta tell her! :razz:

[Brandon Strader]

I'm really happy for (and am going to let finish) everyone who worked together to create this album, and the site who is undoubtedly working their butts off to get it out on time.. great work and I'm looking forward to hearing it.

[KyleJCrb]

If she does, do you think she's actually gonna tell us? :-P

[SuperiorX]

If she does, do you think she's actually gonna tell us? :-P

:-P no of course not. But perhaps a "yes and it will blow your mind" or a "nope no surprises here" answer?

[Chernabogue]

3 albums in 1 month? Yes please!!

Congrats on the release, it has been a long way to now! :)

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

There are no added surprises guys, but you shall see the track list when the project is released. Is that good enough? :razz:

It's very amazing I started this project back in August 2009 and it's releasing in 10 days. I put my heart into this.

There's no way we're releasing today, so don't EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

However...wait, MIKE SAINT-JULES?! SERIOUSLY!?!?!?!

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Bwahahaha I just don't like delivering when people ask. It's out of stubbornness.... :-P I also couldn't wait anymore. It's for the fans anyway... that's why I'm even here, right?

And Emunator did a FANTASTIC JOB. I teared up when I saw it. It's perfect.

[Global-Trance]

There's no way we're releasing today, so don't EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

However...wait, MIKE SAINT-JULES?! SERIOUSLY!?!?!?!

Mike is a friend of mine and I recruited him. It was easy considering he loves him some RPGs, Wild ARMs being one of them.

[SuperiorX]

That's a lot of Wild Arms we got there. Looks like quite the impressive tracklist! I can't wait!

[GTAHater836]

JaDE, I just thought I'd ask: After this gets released, would you mind posting the substantial and almost completed WIPs somewhere else where interested parties can reach them? I would also appreciate whatever WAVs you received for A Sorrowful Separation and Battle Motherfried.

Edit: Scratch that last part, JaDE! I just realized those pulled WAVs are not up to you.

[Flexstyle]

I would also appreciate whatever WAVs you received for A Sorrowful Separation and Battle Motherfried.

You're almost speaking as if Jade owes such a thing to you. :razz:

Not sure how possible that's going to be, considering since then she'd have to get permission from each artist to release their WIPs. You might have better luck going to the artists themselves asking them for any WIPs AFTER the album is out anyway. Some musicians feel uncomfortable releasing unfinished or scratch work.

Also this release will have FLACs. Those are just as good as WAVs.

[pu_freak]

Alright, we need to cancel this project. It's just too big and too good. People can't handle this. It's just... too much. We'll get sued for making people's head explode

(especially after BadAss just kicked everyones ass :P)

[Dj Mokram]

Track list artwork by Emunator - All I can say is: cannot wait to see the front cover now. :nicework:

Just to clarify, its by Emunator AND by Vilecat (she took care of the background image, which is also going to be used for the website). Credit where credit is due!

[KyleJCrb]

I still find it pretty hilarious that you went with my super-silly joke for the album title.

[GTAHater836]

I still find it pretty hilarious that you went with my super-silly joke for the album title.

To your credit, it was the best title that anyone had suggested in such a short time, and Jade and I saw little else worth using for the title. Gun LOLsters would've made it sound too comical, and Overture of the Vigilante Wild didn't sound intense or to-the-point enough. (i.e. OotVW might have been well suited for the style of Succumb to the Wilderness and its guitar, or perhaps even Forbidden Perception, but it definitely wouldn't work with tracks like Priority Nemesis or Solar Navigator.)

Gun LOLsters... wow nice!

I like the album title, I've just never understood why dangerous is capitalized DANGerous. I understand ARMed, but not DANGerous. Is there something behind that, or was it just capitalized for continuity with ARMed?

WHOOPS, SORRY. SORRY. Didn't realize....My bad. :/ Will edit now....

Of course I did! lol It wasn't a joke to me, it sounded great!

The LOL thing came from a douche bag who picked on me on another thread a couple years back for using "lol" and other things happened too. He got banned because he got carried away with me and bLiNd for no reason whatsoever. He just felt like trolling someone and didn't realize who I was and messed up. He can go straight to hell for all I care. I'M THE ONE WITH THE FINISHED PROJECT. =) teehee.

The caps is just the purpose of matching it with ARMed. Just looks kool and unique.

[Brandon Strader]

He just felt like trolling someone and didn't realize who I was

Did you try yelling "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM!?? I'M JADE MOTHER-FUCKIN' HARUNO" and then shooting him in the face?

Or was that from a movie? I bet it was a western.

but seriously don't let the "fame" go to your head

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Brandon, go to hell. I'm not talking to you. Please get out of this thread.

[SuperiorX]

Hey does anyone here know what happens in a week? I heard something big is going down... ;-)

And how did "Gun LOLsters" at least not end up being a song title. That is hilarious.

[KyleJCrb]

I thought 'Gun LOLsters' was one of my suggested joke titles, but I could be wrong...

Anyway, the capitalized 'DANG' is there because I was kind of picking fun at the fact that 'ARM' in the game's title is capitalized for some unknown reason (there's probably an explanation in the game, but since I haven't played it I have no idea what it is.) I think it works for consistency.

[Dj Mokram]

'ARM' in the game's title is capitalized for some unknown reason It's the acronym for 'Ancient Relic Machines'. ;-)

[KyleJCrb]

Damn Awesome Ninja Gunmen.

[SuperiorX]

It's the acronym for 'Ancient Relic Machines'. ;-)

And ARMs are IMPortant. Duh.

[evktalo]

Damn Awesome Ninja Gunmen.

Can we make that official?

--Eino

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Less than 6 days guys!!!!!!!

[binster]

Yay, this is all looking ace and will be the best of all things I've ever seen and heard! Yay!

One minor thing though, and this is only if it's not an easy thing to do, but on the tracklist artwork my artist name is binster with a lower case b. I'd prefer Binster with a capitol B.

If it's too late to change it then it's absolutely fine :D

4 Days WOOP WOOP

[Flexstyle]

So hyped for this release. :-D

[GTAHater836]

After this, we will just need to get Maverick Rising and Double the Trouble out of the gate. Then I can lose O-Clocked gracefully when SOPA goes into effect. I'm SO glad we got this out in time!

[melody]

so incredibly psyched for this.

[K.B.]

I hope this releases early on the 20th so I can hear it before I leave for the holidays! But if not it'll be a great after-Christmas present.

Either way, I'm very much anticipating this.

[Brandon Strader]

Yeaa this will drop on the day after tomorrow. Monday will go by quickly if you have a Dexter marathon or something leading up to the finale. :-P And then Wild Tuesday.

[SuperiorX]

Aren't we going to have a cool little promo video on the front page? The album releases in 2 days, so I guess it seems kinda late for that now though...

The trailer's still being worked on.

[Bahamut]

The trailer is mostly done - Jose is just making sure everything is the way they should be. No worries, we'll probably see it posted tonight :) .

Nice, and then the album will be posted tomorrow. And then I won't get any mixing done for my WCRG entry this week cause I'll be too busy listening to this :)

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

I can't wait for everyone to see what the cover art looks like! I haven't seen the trailer yet, but I'm super excited. HOLY CRAP - just ONE MORE DAY LEFT!!!!! I can't believe this is happening.

Make sure everyone hears EVERY song! They're all wonderful and important! :-P

[redshojin]

Is there going to be a listening party?

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Is there going to be a listening party?

Yes! It's hard to set a date because of the holidays and MAGFest, but we'll figure something out.

[SuperiorX]

TOMORROW OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE CULMINATION OF YEARS OF HYPE WILL FINALLY BE REALIZED TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

obligatory lowercase text to offset my all caps excitement.

Get that out of there, you don't need to offset the excitement for this.

Holy hell, my track's in the trailer. How the heck did that happen?

Awesome trailer. I can't wait to hear all of the tracks. So excited.

[SuperiorX]

Actually yes I did. See what happens when you try to reply with a post in all caps and no lowercase letters :razz:

AND OHMYGOD THE TRAILER IS AMAZING!

I will get nothing done this week.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Overwhelmed with the trailer...Jose did such an AWESOME JOB!!!!!! I don't know what more to say. :razz:

[Kinslayer]

Hi, thought I'd pop in and ask...are there going to be physical copies of this album made, or is it strictly going to be a digital release? I just wanted to get that out there because I'd like to get my hands on one of the physical copies if there are going to be any seeing as how my iPod is likely going to be inoperable soon...if donations are necessary, I'll see if I can't scrounge up a little bit of money to put towards the release. Just lemme know...I'm still around...just not as much as I used to be

[Abadoss]

I feel very honored that my lyrics were used in the trailer. I feel very honored to be a part of this project. And I'm super excited to see it release tomorrow. Yay!

[Brandon Strader]

And I'm super excited to see it release tomorrow. Yay!
It's 2:15am EST, which is also where djp lives and I think the time zone the site uses, so.... I will say... it comes out today! I've heard Oregon is a really nice place though, with lots of... trails. I'm excited to finally hear all of this music today :-) This will be a huge treat for wild arms fans, that's what it's all about!

[blackguitar]

didn't even know this was released on NES as the trailer description tells me that. already checked ebay for an expensive copy... great trailer btw :-)

[Dj Mokram]

didn't even know this was released on NES as the trailer description tells me that. Wait, this can't be right. ...ok, looks like the video description indeed features the following typo:
Game: Wild Arms (Sony, 1997, NES)Discretely replace that with PSX before fans catch up to it and start plundering your Berry Cave. ;D

Trailer is fantastic as usual, Jose rocks the house. Wild HYPe! :nicework:

AFAIK none are planned on at the moment.

[Godah]

I'm going to check out the trailer right now. May you receive my most profound, utmost admiration and gratefulness. Wild Arms has been one of my never-ending soundtracks, in the sense that I never get fed up of listening to it. I specially like the first three tracks. Can't wait for the results!

PD: By the way, I thought Wild Arms was, instead of 1997, released in 1996; that's what appeared at least in the title screen if I recall.

North American release was 97.

[Godah]

Yes, you are completely right. 1996 was the Japanese release and that's what I saw in the title screen. 1998 was the European release.

[Dj Mokram]

ARMed and DANGerous is now up on VGMdb (http://vgmdb.net/album/30695). ;)

Jade's backstory in the album writeup is a truly moving display of passion and fan commitment.
A real inspiration for anyone aiming one day to direct such a project. *sheds manly tears*

[pu_freak]

So far BadAss still holds the front page

(not that I mind too much, but still :P)


EDIT: That write-up is indeed moving and inspirational. I'm really glad I could be a part of this and I would have done this even if it would've been only for you two. Luckily for the rest of the world, it isn't

[KyleJCrb]

Well, it's the 20th and there is no album. I bet there never was an album, just like there never was a Tales, Super Dodge Ball, or Boss Themes album! It was all lies! AN ELABORATE HOAX!

[pu_freak]

OverClocked ReMix itself doesn't even exist! It's LIES, ALL LIES!

[Melbu Frahma]

Music, itself, is a myth.

[Rozovian]

Well, it's the 20th and there is no album.

21st here. Waiting...

[Liontamer]

21st here. Waiting...

O ye of little faith. Besides, time only matter in the USA! :tomatoface:
