Tales Series: Summoning of Spirits - History

[Aninymouse]

Rhyhon needs to stay far away from any kind of notion of seeding this :<

Good to hear of the recent progress! Makes me feel gooey inside ^_^

Also... I think they did a great job on character development in ToS. I love all of the 8 party members a lot. I hope that when the sequel comes out on Wii this year that they'll let you have a little time with each of them (and not just have to fight them...). It'd be fuckin' FANTASTIC if they could hire the same voice actors, but... who knows. Nintendo funded the localization for ToS, and I'm not sure they've committed to this one just yet.

ANYWAY, w00t for SoS!

[Rexy]

Don't worry, that'll pass. Very quickly.
Yeah, you're absolutely right. It's a shame that said party member went through a lot since even the seal of fire, but I suppose we can associate. (If it helps, I'm now in possession of the Rheairds; quick-random-battle-evasion-while-looking-for-treasure, here I come!)

I too seem to have good hope for the follow-up as well. Assuming that the Tales Studio have been consistent, we might see something polished, and even if the voice actors face a change it's not going to bother me because I saw it happen in a lot of franchises I've followed in the past, and I didn't let it get to me. (and seriously, they NEED to bring in Kratos somewhere, even if he wouldn't be used in your character party.)

Kyle, I know you're probably a little late but I'm ready to try one more track to help speed things along. Since The Prophet took my initial proposal for As Time Goes On (it's ok though, I'm sure he can do better than me), I looked in the soundtrack and thought I could do something with The Final Act. Is that okay with you?

[Dhsu]

WHAT THE FUCK?!
FUT THE WHUCK?!

I have the same hope too, but if Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology is any indication, we might be in trouble. Scott Menville (Lloyd) and Kari Wahlgren (Raine) were replaced by Brian Beacock and Tara Platt (Tara was Noir/Nebilim in Tales of the Abyss, among many other things) respectively. However, everybody's favorite -- Cam Clarke, as Kratos -- was still around, as was Genis' original VA.

Considering TotW:RM wasn't one of the main games in the series, there's still a chance they'll bring the heavy hitters back in. Either way, as Rexy said, the replacements are generally capable enough to not be a distraction.

Also, yay SoS.

[Arek the Absolute]

The news that we are definitely getting ToS 2 really makes me pumped for this project.

I can't wait to hear the hard work your team has done for this.

:)

[Kureejii Lea]

I looked in the soundtrack and thought I could do something with The Final Act. Is that okay with you?

Tepid and PriZm already did that one, actually. =P It's awesome. Of course, everything is awesome.

[Aninymouse]

I like Regal's theme. *nudge nudge wink wink*

EDIT: ALSO I don't think I ever said so before, but just the thought of Luiza & Mythril Nazgul teaming up on Zelos' theme gives me goosebumps.

[KyleJCrb]

Since The Prophet took my initial proposal for As Time Goes On (it's ok though, I'm sure he can do better than me), I looked in the soundtrack and thought I could do something with The Final Act. Is that okay with you?

Like Lea said, Tepid and PriZm already took that one on.

I like Aninymouse's idea of Regal's Theme (from ToS). Take a look into that one and see if you like it. ;-)

[Aninymouse]

Oh god oh god... okay Aninymouse, try not to get your hopes up... oh god!

[Rexy]

D'oh! I didn't read hard enough. :P Back to the drawing board, lol.

[pu_freak]

Hey sorry, been absent for about a week, but I think I can post a finished version of the song this weekend. And yes I'm alive :P

[Rexy]

Time to add some brief notifications myself to get some activity going:

- Beated ToS today (woohoo!) and may I say, what a ride :D
- I'm still concerned for some of the slackers, so mind if I take up Vigorous Town? I've got pretty much a free week ahead.
- Continuing to reference to point 1, I am now SO looking forward to hear what LuiZa and CHM have done with Fatalize after hearing it so many times just fighting Abyssion and Seles! Pure genius ;)

[pu_freak]

I'm hoping to get my Vigorous Town ReMix up to project standards... Don't know if I'll make it in time though. My other song is practicly finished, so I will have time for it now

[Rexy]

...so this means I have to go back to the drawing board, again? I know Kyle was seeking for help on the Phantasia side but it's hard to find something worth approaching that HASN'T been given coverage yet. :\

[Dhsu]

Well, he said he's not sure if he'll have time. So maybe you can do one to take the pressure off.

[KyleJCrb]

I'm sorry, Rexy. I'd say go ahead and do it, unless pu has a major problem with that.

I'm really sick right now, by the way. Sorry I'm not around much. :-(

[Rexy]

Don't worry, I haven't been around much albeit for different reasons altogether (like, I'm bound to get into employment before the year is out). I can understand your feelings though, hope you get better soon :(

[pu_freak]

Well like I said, I am still working on it (and I already had a wip that was quite far along). So if you'll make one, mine gets thrown straight into the trash bin I'm afraid :P. If you really want to do this song, then I guess I have to use mine for somewhere else since I'm sure you'll do a better job with it. But if you can, I would appreciate it if you'd pick another song

Let me think... The Midgard theme is a good theme, but perhaps a bad genre, how about Euclid or Ary? Or the Piano solo of course :P

EDIT - Some might say that I've uploaded my last version of Triumph. Some might even go so far to say that it's done. Who are you? (in other words, got new version up plz say if its done or not k thnx)

[Rexy]

I looked at the two themes. Given that you're so willing to contribute something for Vigorous Town, I'll let you keep it. Myself, I think I can form something out of Euclid. If I get any updates regarding progress for it, I'll inform the project managers about it. :D

[KyleJCrb]

Alright, there SHOULD be nothing for Euclid. Rexy, feel free to kill me if I forget that someone else was doing something with it (though I'm 99.9999% sure nobody was). :lol:

[pu_freak]

Thanks Rexy :D

[DeathShadow]

I Will Not Let This Thread Die.

[Aninymouse]

poast moar.

The Thread Will Never Die.

[prophetik]

This Thread Can Not Die.

[SephAguraki]

The Thread Will Never Die.

This Thread Can Not Die.

These right here just made me want the project to be released even more.

[The Joker]

I kills thred jes?

[Sixto]

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...










Sup?

[V___]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooothing.......







You?

[SnappleMan]

This thing STILL isn't done? I don't think anyone cares at this point... :(

[KyleJCrb]

This thing STILL isn't done? I don't think anyone cares at this point... :(

Doesn't matter.

[SephAguraki]

This thing STILL isn't done? I don't think anyone cares at this point... :(

Even if there's a nuclear war, I'll still wait for it. 'Cause I'm just that hardcore of a Tales fan.

[Aninymouse]

This is music, though, not Duke Nukem Forever. So long as it comes out period it never really loses relevance over time, unlike how a game may.

[SnappleMan]

I beg to differ. Project Chaos took long enough that I had to redo all of my songs twice due to massive upgrades in my production. In any case, I blame Kyle's girlfriend for this not being done (and a few other things as well!)

[The Joker]

I've redone my tracks a few times. Especially Cold memory. I've tweaked that one like... 7+ times?

[Dhsu]

I never have to re-do my tracks. They are timeless.

[prophetik]

i just never DO my tracks

[KyleJCrb]

I beg to differ. Project Chaos took long enough that I had to redo all of my songs twice due to massive upgrades in my production. In any case, I blame Kyle's girlfriend for this not being done (and a few other things as well!)

Redoing your songs twice is your own decision, not the fault of the project taking too long. If I recall you also had to redo your tracks because your computer that crashed.

My girlfriend has nothing to do with any of the delays of this project, or in fact much of anything to do with this project at all. Delays are somewhat the fault of remixers who won't get their things done (such as a certain guitarist that I happen to be replying to right now that took six months to say anything after he reported that he was supposedly nearly finished with his stuff, and then just dropped from the project anyway), which by extension and association makes the delays purely my fault because I haven't been hounding people enough to work on their shit.

Yes, I know this project is late. Yes, I know it's relevance has probably long since past by now. No, I don't care. I don't need people who couldn't even finish their own fucking contributions to it in here giving us this bullshit and grief.

You want to complain, SnappleMan? Go finish Decisive. You know, the track you were supposedly nearly done with over a goddamn year ago.

[KyleJCrb]

I would call it Tales of Wishful Thinking.

LAWL TRY HARDER N00B

You see, that would be clever except 90% of the music for this project actually exists.

[prophetik]

more'n 90%, isn't it? it's just my one track that doesn't have a wip, and four WIPs that are almost done, right?

[KyleJCrb]

I dunno. I didn't actually sit down and calculate the percentage. :P

[SephAguraki]

Tales of the Hopeful? Since people (Me) have hope it will be released very soon?

[prophetik]

if snapple wasn't so good at making bacon, i'd get pissed

[RyuMizuchi]

wait, your third post is making fun of this project? wtf?

As far as i am concerned making fun of something isnt neccessarily a bad thing, especially under current circumstances. Suffice to say that it seems i have been misunderstood.

And a message to Kyle: I cannot fully agree with your "try harder". The term "wishful thinking" was directed towards those few songs not yet finished.

[prophetik]

making fun is always a bad thing when you're a stranger. just keep that in mind here on OCR. unless people 'know' you, don't poke fun at them.

[RyuMizuchi]

Ill keep that in mind. Its true that the last thing this project needs in this tender phase is stingy jokes.

[Sixto]

I will do Decisive in TWO DAYS LAWL!!!111

lies, all lies

[KyleJCrb]

I will do Decisive in TWO DAYS LAWL!!!111

He will. This guy is insane.

[Dhsu]

Haha, he could totally do it.

Also, I haven't beaten Tales of Phantasia yet, but is the Dhaos/Morrison thing a major, major spoiler? I'd hate to think that someone would actually be so inconsiderate as to put such a thing in their signature.

[SephAguraki]

I think it's actually in the prologue screen of the game...I haven't beaten it either, though. Just got REALLY far, and then something happened with the game (I.E. ROM was deleted by people cleaning the computer, never got GBA cart. from ex-girlfriend, ect.).

[Dhsu]

The opening quote is by Morrison, but says nothing about Dhaos, which your sig implies is the same person, which would be a HUGE spoiler if that's actually the case.

[Kureejii Lea]

It's just attributed to more than one character.

[RyuMizuchi]

Haha, he could totally do it.

I see your point, i have used a bad symbol. The opening phrase in ToP is by Morrison, while in the OVA those same words are pronounced by Dhaos. No spoiler here.

[Dhsu]

Ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying.

[The Joker]

.... nerds.

[Rexy]

Just letting you know that since I actually won PRC118 and got something for the unlucky sods to work on, I'll actually have a WIP on Euclid by the end of next week. I promise :)

[prophetik]

i've got a wip for the other track i'm doing, it's just not worth anything yet. but it's coming along.

[KyleJCrb]

Oh, you mean this still exists?

[Dhsu]

Yeah, proph, where you been, Kyle canned the project like a month ago and started a Narikiri Dungeon project instead.

[Kureejii Lea]

Sorry, guys. It's my job primarily to yell at Kyle to keep him on track, but it's been a rough week.

[prophetik]

Yeah, proph, where you been, Kyle canned the project like a month ago and started a Narikiri Dungeon project instead.

epoch fail

[KyleJCrb]

Yeah, proph, where you been, Kyle canned the project like a month ago and started a Narikiri Dungeon project instead.

Actually, I started a Daytona (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daytona_USA_%28arcade_game%29) project.

[pu_freak]

My Triumph mix is FINALLY done... wav is at the ftp

EDIT - I'll work on Vigorous Town tomorrow, but I don't know if I can get it done by then

[The Mutericator]

Yeah, proph, where you been, Kyle canned the project like a month ago and started a Narikiri Dungeon project instead.

That's not funny. ;_;

[Argle]

I recently played and finished Tales of Symphonia. It's a superb game, and had some sweet music. Looks like this project is almost done, good luck on finishing it.

[Barnsalot]

Looks like this project is almost done, good luck on finishing it.

It's been "almost done" for over a year now.

..But, I know what you mean. :P

[Dhsu]

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE.

We are now up to 45/48 tracks! :D

[SephAguraki]

But where are the other three tracks?! (I know where they are/aren't, just being silly...)

[Broken]

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE.

We are now up to 45/48 tracks! :D

YYEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!1111111

I'm still patiently awaiting this release.

[Aninymouse]

The suspense... it's killing me. It's like I waited so long for something to happen I knew one day would be inevitable. Hmm. Kinda like...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/ANinyMouse/1174251835912.jpg

[KyleJCrb]

As of right now, all remixers still working on tracks have 14 days to complete their work. All songs not currently finished are due by MAY 14TH.

If the songs are not completed by then, they will not be on the final released project (which will be coming not long after the due date, though I can't say when exactly just yet). GET THOSE SONGS DONE FOLKS AND LETS GET THIS THING OUT

[pu_freak]

Yea, after waiting as a fan and now as a remixer for this stuff, there's a real due date/almost release date!

I hope we get some award for longest running project ;)

[Monobrow]

Okay so I had better get my butt moving and render my song out lol.


Oh btw... I am going to do something completely nuts and try another track tonight... Because no one did it and it's one of my favorite Symphonia tracks.

Less than two weeks to do it? YEAAAAAH!

In the case of this, I'd rather wait until it's done.

On another note, what do you think Motoi Sakuraba would think if he ever heard the project??

[OA]

Seriously though, I am very excited to hear this. I bet it's going to be great!

I know that it's possible to email him... Which is something we might do.

[Bundeslang]

It would be nice (but hard) to have this released on the 28th of May, because of the 3-year anniversary of the first post.

Really nice it's (almost) finished, great job all for keeping the energy and time to finish it.

[SephAguraki]

I know that it's possible to email him... Which is something we might do.


Ooooh, that would be awesome.

[Dhsu]

"Wow, that Dhsu guy is awesome, like it's not even funny how much he rocks." :D

Nah, I am sure Sakuraba would approve of the ridiculously high levels of ROCK'N in this project. \m/

[RyuMizuchi]

I guess the only way to know is to actually email him :D

By the way, how about putting a timer on the project's website? You know, like the one for Persona 3: FES not too long ago on official Atlus website. The timer would count the time to the final deadline and after that moment is reached, the estimated time remaining to the actual release (that way people will hopefully wait in anticipation for a release that may or may not be released at the given time, instead of asking "is it out yet mengz?")

Not gonna promise any release dates at this time. Not even estimated ones.

[SephAguraki]

So...we can think of it like a game that's been in development for several years, then all of a sudden went off the radar?

[The Joker]

Think of it like a GTA4, or better yet, an id game.

[Sixto]

Yay, May 14th.

[KyleJCrb]

Think of it like a GTA4, or better yet, an id game.

Summoning of Spirits Forever.

[SephAguraki]

Summoning of Spirits Forever.


May I further inquire about this "Summoning of Spirits Forever" you speak of? Or is it say...a play on the name of the project as if it were to be a game?

And I was thinking more along the lines of Mother 3...but that's a really low blow, since this will actually be released...IN AMERICA!

[Dhsu]

Yeah, there is a planned Duke Nukem sequel called "Duke Nukem Forever" that has been in development for over 10 years. So when anything takes a long time to get released, people start calling it "________ Forever." :P

[SephAguraki]

OOOOH! Right right. I see what you did there. I've just gotten into the whole Tales fan-made fighting game scene...got a bit confused there.

[Incronaut]

This project is probably one of the best ideas since Chrono Symphonic or whatever it was called! It better pull through to the finish

[RyuMizuchi]

I would risk a statement that due to colossal anticipation of the masses, this project doesn't have any other option but to pull through to the end xD

Nope, sorry. Project's canceled.

Nope, sorry. Project's canceled.


OH SHI-...

[Subz1987]

Nope, sorry. Project's canceled.

In other news, Rockstar has confirmed the Wii version of GTA IV to be released alongside the Wii version of MGS4.

[pu_freak]

The only goal of this project was to raise awareness of the Tales games in form of soundtrack, so that more people would remix those themes. After 3 years, we thought that we feel that we can't keep this going any longer. Nonetheless, we think that we succeeded in our mission, because Sixto for example already has an OCR approved ToP remix. Sorry guys, all a hoax


EDIT:
Let's put it this way: If this project takes more than a year, kill me. :P

I just had to quote this one... sorry Kyle ;)

[prophetik]

updated my old japon wip. PLEASE SOMEONE RECORD GUITAR FOR ME BY LIKE MONDAY SO I CAN PUT IT IN AND BE DONE JUST PM ME AND I'LL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED. else i'm using the fake guitar lead i've got going on now.

Sixto actually has two tracks from this project approved for OCR.

And yes, I already know about that quote. It came up at this time in '06 and '07 too. Still waiting for death. :-P

[SephAguraki]

All this talk of the project being cancelled...impossible to believe. :D

Would've made a GREAT April Fool's joke though.

Our April Fool's joke got delayed :P

[KyleJCrb]

All this talk of the project being cancelled...impossible to believe. :D

We did it two years ago. I myself actually believed it when DarkeSword deleted the thread, fooling me into thinking he actually believed it was really cancelled.

[RyuMizuchi]

In other news, Rockstar has confirmed the Wii version of GTA IV

Wiimote Hot Coffee...

to be released alongside the Wii version of MGS4.

Well, he didn't actually delete it. Just moved it into a hidden section. Sneaky bastard.

In other news:
Because progress lately has been quite pleasing, I'm bumping up the due date by a week to give some extra time for people to make their songs really rock. Don't dawdle, though, or I KEEL J00

[Hemophiliac]

OMFG deadlines are not for moving, STOP MOVING THE DEADLINES.

[KyleJCrb]

Cry more please.

[Sixto]

OMFG deadlines are not for moving, STOP MOVING THE DEADLINES.

I kind of mostly agree. Buuuut I'm just a remixer.

[Dhsu]

Eh, as long as the deadline is doing its job, i.e. getting people off their butts, I have no problem with it.

[Broken]

OMFG deadlines are not for moving, STOP MOVING THE DEADLINES.

I feel you, man. I feel you.

[KyleJCrb]

Project isn't going to be coming out on the day of the deadline anyway, so I don't see what the big deal is.

[V___]

so I don't see what the big deal is.

[pu_freak]

I still think if your song isn't finished this Wednesday, you're a slacker :P

[Rexy]

Hey, at least I was a good little girl and got a WAV and title sent off before the ORIGINAL closing date. We females on the project have known track records for time keeping :D

[prophetik]

monobrow wut

Yeah Katie, don't let Lea and Luiza down now :p

[SephAguraki]

Hey, at least I was a good little girl and got a WAV and title sent off before the ORIGINAL closing date. We females on the project have known track records for time keeping :D


And you also beat Tales of Symphonia in the process, if I'm not mistaken?

[Rexy]

I have, and what a ride that was :D Mind you, I'm more inclined to do a second new game + and this time sweep for a Kratos ending in order to fill up the collector's log at last. I don't care about plot twists, Kratos is cooler than Zelos, end of story.

[SephAguraki]

Awwww, but Zelos is awesome.

Hehehe..."philanderer"... "Is it something you can eat?"

[Sixto]

The big deal is that if there's no big deal in extending the deadline a little bit, then it won't be a big deal to extended it again. Then again. Then a few more times. But like I said, I'm just a remixer.

[KyleJCrb]

It's already happened like that, I will admit. But no more. This is the last extension.

My concern was that people were talking about things like recording guitars and the like at the last minute, which I know can take some time.

Regardless, I can't say for sure whether this project is even on track for a May release (I doubt it, honestly. There's too much left to do outside of the songs), so extending the deadline by a week is not going to considerably delay the release of the project itself any more than it has been.

[SnappleMan]

Man, kyle, you gotta stop extending this shit. People will take advantage of you if you don't man up!

[Dhsu]

Hopefully they will use their advantage to make EXTRA AWESOME.

[KyleJCrb]

At least we can take solace in the fact that this isn't the oldest unfinished project here (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2845). :-P

[prophetik]

lol. guess who's on that one, too.

[Ness757]

What is the official website for the track? I haven't found a link to it anywhere. You gave us a link to the forums, but what about the actual music site?

[prophetik]

there isn't one yet.

hey sixto record guitars plz thnks

[KyleJCrb]

We have to release the project first. Don't get ahead of us now.

Yes, we'll release the project first and then a month or 2 later we'll give you the site where you can download the stuff :P

The site with all of the songs has been up since May 27th, 2005 actually, and all of the songs have been there the entire time (even tracks that were actually not even planned at that time, and bonus tracks like housethegrate's, SnappleMan's, and PriZm's versions of Fighting of the Spirit, Machinae Supremacy's version of Sylphis, even a 74 minute mega-medley from Sakuraba himself). The link just hasn't been released publicly.

[SephAguraki]

...a 74 minute mega-medley from Sakuraba himself.


Will we see this in the project's release?!

new wip up with fishuhs in japan instead of england

[KyleJCrb]

I hate to be the bearer of some disappointing news, but we will probably not be releasing anytime soon. Yes, I know, that's not what anybody wants to hear, but there is a reason, and it's somewhat out of my hands.

The reason is that, per djp's project scheduling plans (which obviously I can't control, since this is his website, and this project is merely an affiliated thing), DQD (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=3435) is next in the release queue, and it may not be until late Summer before that one hits, from what I've been told. I'm not going to schedule anything at this point, but there is the very real possibility that SoS may not be out until Fall.

Oh well, at least we will have plenty of time to make sure all of the details are taken care of. We'll get it out there eventually.

[Fishy]

I'm taking over your project one track at a time.

[KyleJCrb]

I'm taking over your project one track at a time.

I don't mind.

[SephAguraki]

If this project gets released around the same time as Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World...that would be pretty awesome.

[Usa]

Oh well... and I wanted to surprise everyone here with a last-minute track for this one a short moment before the release :D Well, I guess now I have some more time to finish it :P

[KyleJCrb]

EDIT - The good thing about these delays is that the project is getting bigger and bigger. We already beat VotL if you look at the amount of tracks

[Usa]

Of course it is, or else it would not be a "surprise at the last possible second", right? ^.^ It has been a secret to everyone up until now that the project release got postponed.

[SephAguraki]

Hehe...I just noticed...Kyle said that the Doom 2 project is supposed to come out first...but from the number of replies and forum views...this project appears more popular... :P

[V___]

hahahah

This is like a racing game time trial, cept every time the clock gets to 10 seconds left, an additional 20 minutes is added....

Meh, I'm almost tempted to pull my track; my styles changed and my processing has improved, so its almost embarrasing to know that in the future a sub-standard track will be distributed

[prophetik]

go back and fix it, man.

[Kureejii Lea]

Aww, I like that one a lot. It's fun and sweet.




That and it's kinda sorta incorporated in some promo material right now...

[Liontamer]

If this project gets released around the same time as Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World...that would be pretty awesome.

That's an excellent idea, actually. I think SoS would get more residual attention due to the hype from Dawn, plus some more tracks could be tweaked/completed. You might even be able to throw in a bonus arrangement (or several) from Dawn, since it releases on June 26th in Japan. Footage of the soundtrack would no doubt be available to check out soon after it's July 9th release date. With that kind of lead time and promotional crossover, it really could be win-win here.

[KyleJCrb]

Hmmm, an interesting thought indeed. This shall be discussed.

[prophetik]

i'd be willing to throw down another track from dawn, if i could get a rip of the music. we've got enough forum people over there who could get a rip or two from the game =)

[Nutritious]

And I suppose you'll be needing the patented Fishy brand "Last Minute Licks" guitar services!

Each purchase gives you one recording session with Fishy no earlier then 2 days before the final deadline. Comes with pointless whammy bar action. Fishy takes no responsibility for ruptured brains or other body parts from any awesome overloads. Refunds not available.

[Usa]

Haha, I feel a bit like that, too... My tracks were very early in the project when it got started and from a nowadays viewpoint are pretty sub-standard for what I could do now, but hey, that's just fine with me :)

[KyleJCrb]

Quiet, you guys. Your tracks are fine. :-P

[SephAguraki]

So, I'm great at misunderstanding things, so let me know if I'm totally off on this one: This project has to wait for DQD to be released, period? Or does it have to wait for DQD to be released on OCR?

Doesn't it getting released on OCR mean it's getting released, period? Or do the judges review the project first?

[The Joker]

You know, since I got another gig of RAM, I'm tempted to redo my tracks... but I've redone them smitches way to much already.

[Liontamer]

When it's released on OCR, that's the release. And the project being released later will actually end up helping it provided it coincides with the release of the new Tales games for the Wii.

The judges don't judge projects. We do take a quick look at album projects just to make sure there's a certain level of quality, but so many have happened since the concept started that people know to bring it. The lineup already looks good; there's certainly no question about that.

I'd suggest ANYONE that wants to tweak their stuff should if they think it'll be an improvement if Kyle thinks it's cool. I saw Usa and V say they were considering dropping out, but I wouldn't drop out at all. We're prepared to give a major promotional push on this one.

the problem is that many of the artists involved have progressed their skill and talent so much more then when they finished their tracks. those completed tracks now feel old and not good or as good as they could be.

i know i certainly feel this way, hell i've been waiting nearly 2 years for mine alone...and that's very aggrivating. many of the other artists finished their stuff earlier then that even.

[Liontamer]

Understandable, sure, but it'd still be a bad decision to drop out. I'd wager most of the older material still holds up well.

[Aninymouse]

Look at it this way, guys... it's never going to be "perfect." You put in your love and time, you have some work to show for it, and the project is finally coming out later this year, all told.

Personally, I'd think you have a few months to bang out an "improved" version, if you so choose. That's a decent ammount of time if you just worked on one or two, depending on how fast you work. In the meantime, there's a finished product waiting to be released. Obviously, only you guys can make the final call, but me? I'd like there to be something released for a track rather than nothing.

If you honestly think your old work is going to drag the project down in terms of public reception and you'd rather just opt out instead of redo the track, well... honestly, let's just say I'd be pretty surprised if you could get me to agree to that after I listened to the track myself. I'd chalk it up to just being really hard on yourself.

[KyleJCrb]

If anyone pulls their track from this project, I'll kill them. And then I'll have them brought back to life just so Lea can kill them again.

Seriously.

Don't doubt me!

I'll do it! I swear!

[Usa]

I saw Usa and V say they were considering dropping out, but I wouldn't drop out at all.

I never said anything like that, ever :-) Just that my tracks are sub-par, but that I am fine with em as they are on this project ^.^

Oh, I'd do it, too.

Seriously, guys... Yeah, a lot of work was completed a while ago, and it's no fun sitting on it for so long. Working in any art form, you'll always be refining technique, learning new methods, and exploring new directions. Art gets stagnant otherwise. But even if you feel your ability has progressed, that by no means takes away the value of older works.

I can say with complete honesty that I've enjoyed every single track you guys have contributed. I believe they all bring something unique to the project and make it a fuller experience overall, and I'd really hate to see any of them removed.

Since it looks like we'll be looking at an extension due to "outside" factors, people who really feel the need to touch up their existing tracks would have time to do so, I suppose... I just don't want that to turn into procrastination. I'd say that unless the update is timely, the current versions will be used regardless so there's no further wait. However, I seriously don't see that as necessary in the first place - I'm more than happy with the versions we have. You guys have done some excellent work here.

[KyleJCrb]

Due to the incessant amount of spambot registration, I've decided to close new user registration on the project forums (http://www.kngi.org/forum). The amount of legitimate users registering right now during this lull in activity is probably about 1 in every 200 or so, if that. I figure everyone who has wanted/needed to register (such as project remixers) at this point already has, but if you're from elsewhere and really want to register, contact me and I'll set you up.

Registration will be reopened after the SoS project has been released. (So never then! HAH!)

I've tried adding questions and other forms of stopping them like that. It helped for quite awhile, but this new registration onslaught I've been getting lately is particularly vicious. They're all registering using popular email addresses like gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc. etc. otherwise I'd just ban the domain names of the email they're using. It's crazy.

In all seriousness though...SEVEN TERRABYTES?! Jesus! How the heck do you guys have space for that stuff? Online hosting?

Also, inb4 "lol sarcasm."

[Goosemeister]

Hey, I just wanted to drop in and say a few things.

A. You guys are awesome. I was really hoping for a ToS remix and it sounds like you guys are going to remix the heck out of it. I'm almost as excited about this release as I am about Dawn of the New World, and that's saying something given how ridiculously much I enjoyed the first ToS. (and to be fair, I played the GBA version of ToP and liked that, too, albeit not as much as ToS, so I'm sure the ToP stuff will be great, too, even if I'm not quite as familiar with it)

B. What exactly is the deal with your site? I visited the latest forums, but it looks like the site is down, which is a shame since I would've really liked to give that bonus track a listen.

C. Would you be opposed to me putting a banner for the project in my sig if I saw fit? I know you're almost finished already, but more publicity can't hurt, right? Granted, I haven't decided whether or not I want to, but I figured I'd ask since I'm new and don't know all the etiquette involved in this stuff. I wouldn't want anyone accusing me of stealing their banner.
