legend of dragoon

[sephiroth incarnate]

i searched but i don't see any remixes from legend of dragoon, why not? it has a lot of great music i can't understand why no one would take advantage of it

EDIT: ok has so few people played this game that it doesn't even get a response? this game has some of the most complicated bgm's i have ever seen if no one even wants to try and tackle it, that or so few people have even played it

seriously someone please make an attempt please

[ericharris]

can you at least post a site w/ the music? I heard it was a great game, but never heard anything about the score

[sephiroth incarnate]

i'd imagine that since square didn't make the game it gets overlooked, unfortunately i don't have a site with a score or anything, i just download the songs that i want off of it through limewire

[ericharris]

http://bluelaguna.net/music/lodost/mp3s.php

i did the work for you, now what do you specificaly want out of a remix?

[Foxhull]

http://bluelaguna.net/music/lodost/mp3s.php

i did the work for you, now what do you specificaly want out of a remix?

I love you, that site has the FF XII soundtrack, so now I can try to do it some lovin'.

Also, I know Legend of Dragoon(I'm on disc three) and I may try a remix from it eventually, but I don't have the time right now. Other than that, good luck.

[sephiroth incarnate]

i honestly don't care what you do with the game so much as tge game gets enough recognition that other people will want to try it as well and we get a lot of people trying different things with it

in all honesty you could do almost anything with that game, you could easily go techno/trance boss theme

or you could even easier do the slower instrumental overworld melodies

it's all up to you dude, i picked the game so if you make it it's only fair if you decide how to make the song

[ericharris]

well, i never played the game and i don't feel like listening to song after song, try to give me some direction if you want me to atempt it

[sephiroth incarnate]

i can do that much, but could you at least tell me what you feel like doing so i can try to fit the bill?

[ericharris]

i don't know, whats your favorite song, i could probably do better things with a faster song tho.

[sephiroth incarnate]

do you want more of a rock beat or more of a trance/techno?

[Lostinthamusic]

Ah, LoD is a great game. I've actually been working on a track from the game on and off.

[sephiroth incarnate]

lol that's what i'm saying, i'm just surprised there's no remixes to it yet

[ericharris]

rock would be best

[sephiroth incarnate]

i can narrow it down to one of the boss battles, but since they're all pretty short i would advise trying to find a way to combine them

there are 3 main boss battle themes (not including the final boss themes) since each theme is about 1 30, if that so combing the 3 would be appropriate

[ericharris]

do you have another suggestion that's not so cheesey?

also, http://ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=92293 an attempt on a lod mix, i couldn't find the mp3 tho.

[sephiroth incarnate]

cheesey is such a general and relative term, it's not like i asked for any one of them in particular, i was closer to asking for a blend of the three.

i'm sure you could find a way to mix the cheesey out of it

however if you really need something else to work with

Dart's theme or i like this one better, dragon killed in action

[Absolute Zero]

rock would be best

ericharris, if you did a rock version of the three boss battle themes, you'd be considered awesome forever.

At least by me, which might not amount to much, BUT STILL!

The theme they used for the Virage, and the one for the Dragons are the two I'd love to hear ReMixed.

[sephiroth incarnate]

see i'm not the only one who thinks that, shouldn't the majority rule?

[ericharris]

im still working on it

[sephiroth incarnate]

that's all we need to hear dude

[ericharris]

just wanted to say that i am still throwing ideas arround and i didn't forget or give up yet. Sorry i'm taking so long, but im trying my best and a lot of shit is happening in my life.

Merry christmas everyone!

[sephiroth incarnate]

that's understandable dude, as long as it gets finished there's no hurries. the more time spent on it the better it will turn out after all

[T-major]

personaly, Legend of Dragoon is my second favorite turn based RPG (next to Chrono Trigger). which is saying something, because I don't useualy like turn based RPG's. I would love nothing more then to hear some remixes of some of the music from this game.

[sephiroth incarnate]

i think we need to bump this again

[Escariot]

Not bad music at all... Never played this game... I'll see what my limited skills will allow me to do

[sephiroth incarnate]

how many times do i need to bump this thread, just one attempt is all i ask, i'm not patient enough for a pending attempt...

[Harpendum]

The reason I subscribed to these forums was to request Legend of Dragoon remixes. I'm glad to find other people that adore this game as much as I do~

Personally, I would love more than anything a remix of "Royal Castle"; this song, paired with a powerful orchestrated sound, would send chills down my spine. ^_^
- I also loved "Lloyd's Theme", "Ghost Ship", "Forbidden Land", and "Dead City"...though "Royal Castle" is easily the apple of my eye. Much oblidged to you all. x3

[ericharris]

well, im attempting a full orchesral version of darts theme

[sephiroth incarnate]

i like dart's theme due to the inspirational feelings feel it gave to me while playing this game, it has a rallying cry/counterattack sort of feel to it

[Harpendum]

I agree; I'm so excited about the remix. ^_^
Eric Harris...that sounds so familiar. o_o; *spazz.*

[ericharris]

well, its the only name i could think of thats not like mario_humper321 or Devilkillblacksatanburnmorekill666

Just please don't judge me because of my name

[sephiroth incarnate]

i like the latter one better...

[Harpendum]

I didn't mean it as a bad thing, at all. ^_^
It's strangely close to the name of a friend of mine that I haven't seen in a few years. So my predisposed bias towards you is actually quite good. ;D Unless you don't want that kind of judgement either...

[ericharris]

there's a meaning to the name, just forget about it, anyway, i'm ready for the wip forums with my first draft (still no where near complete), does anyone know a good upload site for a midi file (without a lot of ads)?

[Harpendum]

o.o
Oooh~ I like Sendspace.com pretty well, but it may be too cluttered for your preference...

[ericharris]

alright then, expect it in a few minutes
ps. don't get your hopes up too high.

[Thin Crust]

To tell you the truth, I liked LOD very much, but I just didn't particularly like the sound track too much though. Also, truthfully, the only track I remember is the virage(sp) theme because it starts like the Austin Powers theme. No, seriously, listen to them both and they have the same melody at the beginning.

[Audity]

Here is a .rar (http://www.escaprism.org/LegendofDragoon.rar) that includes 5 songs from the game. I recently went through all of them, and thought these were the best. I also included a readme thing that has my thoughts, and interesting tidbits about the tracks. If anything: it's nice music to have!

[ericharris]

could you just list them, i don't have something that opens rar and i have a website that has all of the tracks somewhere in the forum. I would love to here your opinion tho. Also, for those of you that are oblivous to the wip, dart's theme has been up there for about 2 days without so much as a reply.

The boss and battle music isn't bad either :D just anything BUT the "Forbidden Land battle music" god that was horridly repedetive and cheesy lol

[Harpendum]

Ahahaha. >D! I particularly liked that one, though I give you points because it was a little repetitious.

Wouldn't it be awesome if someone did a mix of all four Final Boss themes put together? O:

It's absolutely killing me that I haven't been able to listen to it yet, so I'm going to see if I can right now~ My Windows Media Player has been less than reliable when dealing with .wav files. D:

[Harpendum]

Naw, I got it to work~ :'D
And I saw what you had posted on your other thread, about maybe using a small ensemble; that would be great, seeing as you're already off to what sounds like a great start. ^o^;

[HoboKa]

By the way, although it may not seem very apparent, they did sort of leave an openning for a sequal to Legend of Dragoon...for example it could be a world where the Winglies and Humans try to co-exist, but there's a whole bunch of issues between them and a big EVIL CONSPIRER, so Dart and Co. have to go and stop him... (i know, i know that's an over done plot :P)...or it could be set wayyyy in the future when a descendant of Dart has to fulfill his legacy...etc etc blah blah blah...what do you guys think? lol

I wouldn't think that it'd be way far in the distant future; that's a bit cliche. :'3 I'd make it right after the crisis, when people are weak and still trying to recover.
...but I think Albert and Miranda should have a son who is a sex-a-holic. So maybe my opinion isn't too great. xD

[sephiroth incarnate]

omfg that would be awesome, 10 points on the respect score for both of you, but i'd rather see lavitz leave a bastard son, that would seem cooler to me

[HoboKa]

Unfortunately the heroes are widespread and unable to unite right away, and at the same time, Dart's son and Miranda's daughter end up getting captured by Dark Elves (who my friend and I decided to turn into a big evil race that helps support Lord Vendrakken.)

Anyways, somehow along the way, since the heroes believe all is lost, but Dart's son had a strange encounter with a Virage (Who was not under Frauma's control). The virage said that there was a handfull of other Virage who were never assimilated into the Winglie's ranks, because they had severed their ties from the Virage Embryo. The hero's children (who are in their teens) then become *gasp* "Viragian Martyrs"...I know I know that's incredibly lame...but at least its semi original >.<

It's a pretty weak storyline since I'm not a stalwart writer, but hey...it's a start. But I have no idea as to how I can submit the script on this forum =/. And if this inspires any1 to improve upon this or even take my idea and create a GOOD script, by all means go ahead...all I care about is a sequal to LoD, not who MADE it :D

[Harpendum]

Thank you very much~ >D The fact that you started this thread brought me to repect you greatly from the start~ I wish there was more feedback on people promising to do remixes, though. I've had an insatiable longing for new Legend of Dragoon remixes, and after searching all over the internet, I could only find three complete ones. Any other places you suggest I could look? D:

...Lavitz's ship sailed away. TT__TT

[sephiroth incarnate]

LAVITZ WILL NEVER DIE!!! HE'S THE MALE HETEROSEXUAL EQUIVALENT TO AERIS, BUT ACTUALLY USEFUL TO THE PARTY!!!

ok now that i got that out of the system, i have yet to see any remix of LoD since i pretty much use this site exclusively for remixes

it would be tough to make a sequel to LoD, however i can definately see a lot of possibilities for prequels (don't get me wrong a sequel is not out of question by a long shot). i can see a prequel of the original dragon campaign, i can see alternate scenarios like a rogue wingly who wants to side with the humans, the dragoons previous to the ones mentioned (could say that the dragon chooses the dragoon) there were dragoons no one knew about (say like there were many MANY different types of dragons, but the ones that had the dragoon spirits were more easily tamed), etc.

Eee~! I always used Aerith, right up until her end, and I did just fine! >__<!!

Acutally, would THAT be a good idea for a sequal? Telling a story of, like say, that painter girl, who searches for Lavitz?
Oooh...I'd love to read/play/whatever a sequal from Guaraha's perspective...! :'D! <3333

Do you want the three I found? They're quite good. ^_^ There's a techno remix of "Royal Castle" (which isn't really what I've been looking for. :/ ), a remix of "Wingly Forest", and one of the Mille Seseau map theme.

[sephiroth incarnate]

ooooh i like the mille seseau theme, it makes me sleepy

send links!!! XD

and aerith didn't do enough damage that early in the game to fully utilize her in a party (forgive the earlier stated aeris comment i made i keep forgetting the translation error) if she managaed to live until later in the game then she would be useful beyond compare...but unfortunately she didn't

(i still cry watching her die though, so please don't confuse me with a aerith hater)

[Harpendum]

Sorry it's taking me so long to get you the links. >_>;
I've been grounded; I'm on a different computer. *grr.*

Mmkay...I thought I'd hit another Aerith-hater. Heads would've rolled, and such. :'D I agree with you completely.

[sephiroth incarnate]

we should start a club against aerith...tifa's hotter anyway (as long as you overlook the fact that they are only computer graphics)

[twistedminds]

My siblings say that I should go into remixing cause of my "sense for good music, and remixes" but all I got is frickin' GarageBand that ain't worth salt.

Either way, since I don't know the titles, I'm just going to go by what http://bluelaguna.net/music/lodost/mp3s.php has for them.
I could really see a "Lloyd's Theme" with either "Dead City" or "Forbidden Land" or even both.
"Royal Castle" and "Ghost Ship" would make for an interesting mix, "Hokes Village" and "Silver Land" or "Imperial Capital Kazas" and "Grassy Plains" even.
"A Dragon Killed in Action" could be a remix all it's own, I'm 90% certain.


Just throwing out some ideas.

[sephiroth incarnate]

i noticed that this thread alone prompted 3 new members at least, so i must not be the only one who is thinking that a few LoD remixes would be awesome. we have 1 person for sure seriously trying to make a decent remix, but i think we can do better. feel the love people and if you have the skills to remix, than by all means do it and help make the music of LoD be known.

[Harpendum]

I lack the technical skills for a decent remix, so I'll stick to promoting the cause and supplying fan-art. It's all I'm good at. :'3

"Royal Castle" and "Ghost Ship"...? Wow; I'd never given that any thought at all. I was wanting "Royal Castle" all on its lonesome...you know, as an orchestral piece or something for a single instrument.
Oh Heavens. Can you imagine how it would sound on an armonica? You know the one, that instrument Benjamin Franklin invented? I get chills just thinking about it.

[maestermatt]

someone should do a remix of the ending song.

[Lostinthamusic]

I love this game and the music from it.

Whenever I get a new computer, which will be soon, I'm planning on remixing at least two of the songs from this game.

I know for a fact that one of them will be the 2nd World Map, Tiberoa. I love that song.

The other would either be the 3rd Boss Battle Music, the rockin' one.. or the Royal Castle theme.

Beautiful game.

if i had the luxury of choosing which songs had to be remixed i would choose those as well, but as a LoD lover i have to stay impartial because at this point any song from LoD would be an improvement

[T-major]

man, I forgot all about this thread... it's still going I see. awesome! because LoD needs at LEAST one remix on here. now, unfortunately, I lack the means make a remix (which is probably for the best anyways) however, I fully support anyone who is able to make one.

I'll try to be of some use... maybe... I could give some suggestions as to what I think would sound good in a particular remix? (yes?... no?...)

[V___]

I'm starting a chill mix of World Map 2.... Its not going to be very well 'arranged', probably very much a midirip, but I can SO hear this in my style. So dnt expect it on OCR, but I'l whip out something within the next 2 days

thx man, i'm looking forward too it. And when/if I can buy Fruitloops and have a decent comp to run it, I'll try my hand at Legend of Dragoon music too.

[sephiroth incarnate]

hey even if it doesn't end up on the site, it is still a remix therefore it will be an incredible improvement. besides, maybe the judges will be lenient since we don't have a LoD remix yet

[V___]

:P Well you'l be happy to know Iv started and its actually flowing quite well (at least on EARphones, havnt had time on speakers yet... ). Keeping the piano/string sound, with a different texture... 24 hours from now I'l post a sample (It might be really teasing though)

Got kinda lucky actually: I made up like 3-4 instruments and made a really crappy simple loop, and was going to give up, because I relised my 'mix' idea was pretty much the original song with newer sounds and stronger drum beat. Then for some reason, I tried a bass rhythm that forced me to 150% the time signature. Now I have a punnet (i was gonna say bunch, but i dont have that many) of ideas, and arrangment is becoming more detailed... this may turn into a proper mix after all!

[T-major]

awesome sause! World map 2 is a very nice sounding track if you ask me, my favorite out of all of them (all the world map's I mean), I can't wait to hear it, and I wish you luck :D

[sephiroth incarnate]

it would be hard for any remix not to be a tease because it's fairly hard to make a decent remix and even harder to make one that would be accepted by the judges panel

[V___]

I was about to upload it when my parents left my house for a bit, so I checked it out on speakers...

...

No one hears this shit. Not yet.

Its really quite nice, on earphones.... but i need to properly fix balance with bass etc before I upload this for you guys.

Is it OCRemix material? Hmm... I think the arrangment is liberal but still true to the source, and I can get sound quality to an acceptable level... Its going to be submit-able, thats for sure :D

Sorry to tempt you guys like this, and I hope the end product is worth it in your opinions.... honestly, I love this peice, and Iv only worked on it like what... 4-5 hours?

[V___]

Ok well, I did what I could in the 10 minutes I had alone, before my parents came back, thinking I'l work on it over the weekend. Wrong. My parents have decided they want to stay at my place til next Friday. That means no speakers, no mastering, only earphone work, and that means innaccurate. So rather than do no work on it for over a week, then work on it, finding I'v lost my passion, and then fucking it up, I thought I'd save you all the time and just post what I got. Opinions will be noted, so comment away: I am still thinking of cleaning it up eventually, mabey submitting it (sorry my parents deciding to stay a week has killed my musical/life drive for the moment.....)....

http://vmeissner.googlepages.com/VQ-WornOutShoes.mp3

I like the visual: for some reason I can see a group of hero's braving the elements and attempting to travel by foot through the wilderness in terrible conditions (for some reason, I keep seeing a snowstorm on a mountain path) just to get to the next township...

Hope you guys like it, comment away.. and if you want, recommend me another song that might work in a similiar style (I only listened to 2 songs before finding World map 2) i'l see if i'm inspired...

[Degree]

Man thats hot.. I really like that.
Really chill remix.

I would submit this and see how it goes!

Keep up the great work.

[T-major]

very nice work! I think it would have a good chance getting past the judges. it sounds great, and it's different enough from the original to qualify. keep up the good work!

as for another song that might work in a similar style... how 'bout ruined Celes? I think that could work... or maybe Twilight of Rose?... yup. I could see those working in a chill type mix. (they can both be found at http://bluelaguna.net/music/lodost/mp3s.php (http://bluelaguna.net/music/lodost/mp3s.php) if you didn't already know)

[sephiroth incarnate]

omg, regardless if this gets accepted by the panel i'm so pleased by the results of this mix, for other songs that can be remixed that have a smooth calming ambience i would suggest the following: world map 3
ending
requiem
twilight of rose
dragon killed in action
sorrow
together in peace with you
peace between hills
grassy plains
(or if you're feeling ambitious enough to try a vocal mix) if you still believe

my ideas of soothing may be a bit diiferent than other people's, but all of them i would consider being a good mix is in there

Yeah those are all good songs.

Perhaps I will sit down and try to arrange something this weekend if I get the time.

[twistedminds]

Dude! I love the mix! I think it sounded better with my speakers then my earphones.

For another song to spark your interest, I would look towards anyof the ones that have been listed in this thread.
The top ones on my list I'd like to see remixed are-
-Royal Castle (has been requested a few times)
-Dart's Theme
-Twilight of Rose
-Lloyd's Theme
-Grassy Plains
-Hokes Village
-Ghost Ship
-Forbidden Land
-Silver Land
-Dead City
-Jeek's Theme
-Dragon Killed in Action
-Imperial Capital Kazas
-Death Frontier
-Ending
-Requiem

Thanks for the cool comments... I'l keep working on it, balancing it out, and then might submit it if I can be bothered....hahahaha, when I asked what else would be nice, I thought people would only list like 2-3.... :P

I have started a new mix, it'l be a suprise

[sephiroth incarnate]

ah...that's cruel dude, very cruel. but alas i guess i will have to make due with waiting

[V___]

Gah....

This new mix is failing quite badly, especially seeing as due to work I have NO time to talk to/work with my vocalist.

Guess what song I'm mixing...

[Harpendum]

Oh Heavens above.

This is such torture on my little heart...! I can't listen to the new mix on this machine; I think I'm going to burst.

And I still can't get over my hopes for a "Royal Castle" mix-- my lack of technical skills be damned. I'm still sticking with my thought of either a single instrument, or an entire orchestra performing the piece, though I'm obviously open to hearing anything at all.
Much love and support to you all~ <3

[HoboKa]

How many remixers are currently working on LoD music? I know that Abobo (or Abodo) is and at least one other...but I've heard a rumor that a project was going on.

Maybe I'm just on crack..oh well.

OK.... I'm sorry....

I have failed...

Well I havnt failed, really... my vocalist has. They refuse to actually record anything or do anything. Sooo... I'm stuck with my instrumental part with no way to grow it until i get her voice. Sucks hey.

So I quit. Heres the mix so far.

This new one, does need work, but I do like most of what I hear so far... I can't add any comments to the other one, myself, cause I seem to likes it a lot as it is.


I hear ya, HoboKa.
Even though I know that I said that GargeBand ain't worth salt, and to top it off I only really changed the instruments, and took out 'tracks' from the only midi I could find of Royal Castle... I got this-

I want to add more to it, but seeing as I lack the knowledge to do so...


And, Straziante, that was an interesting mix. Though I would of liked to hear a little less of the melody up-front and a little more of what was in the back, but I liked it none the less.

There's an OLD remix that I never really finished but you may enjoy it. There really should be more LoD remixes...

Thx man. It's not OC material but you hit each note relatively well and you've got the talent, do u post songs on this site often?

Er, I have a question...do I have to understand piano or guitar thoery (as in the notes, etc) in order to remix?

[Straziante]

I've submitted three remixes, all of them receiving a NO vote. I was trying to do something different (as usual) with that mix and it never really came to fruition. I submitted two songs from Chrono Cross and one from TMNT2 but they weren't top quality, although I thought my last submission had a lot of potential that I just couldn't muster. Glad you like the remix.

Theory is very important because you want to make sure all your notes and rhythms fit together properly. You can't just throw down any old notes and chords and expect it to sound good. If you've the ear for it, you could feel something out. One of the most important things you'll need is patience, which I never had. Take your time. As far as we all know, OCR isn't going anywhere.

Ah thanks, I figured that there's a catch to making music...I USED to understand theory mildly...but it wasn't my favorite part when I played the piano and trumpet way back when. So I guess I shouldn't invest in a remixer program until I test it out eh :P...and yeah patience is a factor in anything that requires creativity, whether it be writing, drawing or music-making. I feel your pain, especially since I suffer from Learning Disabilities.

But to be honest with you ,I think that if you put in just a tich more effort into your music (and get a program that doesn't sound like a MIDI file), then you can definately make the cut here.
(Oh and can u make a .zip file of all your music u've made insofar and post it on this forum :D)

Thx

Oh, BTW what do u mean by OCR isn't going anywhere?? lol, I'm slow :P

[Straziante]

People used to freak out about how OCR was going to shut down because David couldn't afford to keep the site up. But that was a LOOOONG time ago. I've been around these parts for a while lol

oh ic...glad that didn't happen :S isn't there a chance of lawsuit though?

[Straziante]

There isn't any chance of lawsuit for a few reasons. The site runs off of donations, not paying customers. Notice the site is ".org" and not ".com?" The site claims to be "unofficial" and unaffiliated with any of the actually games or companies. All original composers are given credit, and none of the remixes are copyrighted. I'm pretty sure if there was any illegal activity, namely copyright infringment, going on, OCR would've already been made aware.

[SwordBreaker]

The game itself was an FF7 rip-off. It was clearly made to capitalize on the success of FF7. I remember the battle system to be unique, though...had this Super Mario RPG-like timed button presses, yet it was A LOT more frustrating because you have to get the timing JUST right.

Yeah...I remember some of the music to be quite awesome. Even though I haven't played the game in YEARS, I remember the "battle music", "menu music", and "victory theme" quite well. Overall, there was this cool blend of techno, rock (keyboards), and ambient orchestrations.

whew, that's comforting. Are you a lawyer by chance? :P

[Straziante]

Not a lawyer. Just been around OCR long enough to have remembered Dave's lecture on this back in '02 or something lol

haha, took you long enough to reply :P. I forgot about this post almost what? A month ago ><?

[Straziante]

I'm a resident lurker. I don't post too often. I've been busy anyways.

[HoboKa]

fine then :(. Too bad this thread went down the toilet though, eh.

[sephiroth incarnate]

wait...wait a sec there, timeout. ff7 ripoff??? are you insane? the only thing it capitalized was the fact that it was also an rpg. that's pretty much it. other similarities are due to common rpg plot twists. with that said i have to say thanks to everyone that's been following this thread and keep up the good work so we can have plenty of lod remixes

[HoboKa]

Oh yeah, I've been meaning to bitch about that comment too :P
LoD is definately not an FF rip-off. All RPG's use the same form of plot devices...just try playing Tales of the Abyss or Breath of Fire.

[Straziante]

Hey, despite the bad translation, Breath of Fire II is my favorite game ever.

[HoboKa]

Mine too, but the translation was still really, really hurting. And some of the tunes, like the dungeon get really redundant :S

My team will probably be both rued and hoorah'ed for reviving an 11 mo. old thread like this. Yeah, I've read rules for many forums. But anyway, moving on right?

First I'll stick to topic. A member of my team is planning one or two LoD song remixes himself. I don't know when he will have time, what all with college and a busy life, but they are planned for sure. We're aiming for a Boss Battle remix. Now for all LoD fans, I have a message below:


My name is Scotty, leader of the LoD revival known as Dragoon Spirits. We have done a lot, and in short we have contacted Dennis Martin, the musical composer of over 70% of LoD's music. Secondly, with my team being at over 70 members and the largest, most dedicated/active/progressed LoD support group, we're looking for every isolated LoD community or group/individual, in hopes of one day reuniting everyone. We recently merged with another support group, and have a very nice Virage model, thanks to our top modeler. This is one of my many personal messages looking for all the fans. I still have people joining our cause every week. It's amazing, and I can proove everything I have stated here in full for disbelievers who think I'm just a solicitor, which I am not, by definition, seeing as I started by staying ON topic. Even 11 months later :)

[HoboKa]

Huzzah!! If you guys can get me a midi of the battle theme or another interesting one like a sad or mystical tune, then I'll definitely help contribute to this fantastic community!! By the way...if you guys need a real trite and hackneyed fan flick-based story line feel free to ask me, I might have a few ideas you guys may want to incorporate for a sequel...lol.

[Shadix]

Sorry, but I'm certain you can find midis of the tracks on vgmusic.com.

[HoboKa]

oh...right forgot about that site lol.

[Dragoon_Spirits]

Thank you, HoboKa. I acquired you to MSN/WLM. I am glad the fans still exist, as I trail through the desolate forgotten communities older even than this one.

[Straziante]

Hey right on. Give LoD some love.

[HoboKa]

Here's my wip for battle 1...
I don't think I intend to submit this to OCR, but it's here for you LoD fanboys
