Damn, ppl! Be honest and say: "I dunno why I said so".

Opened mind, closed mind.. Haters gonna hate.

As for the FFT.. Masaharu "REZON" Iwata? Was he one of the composers? Anyway, as I can see, its a common thing for OCR to make something FF. But how about make a "real" album? Where every other track fit to another, not killing your soul and brain jumping from metal to chiptune then to orchestra, then dubstep etc.
How about make three disks like:
1- Heavy/beautiful
2- Electronic/aggressive
3- orchestra/mellow
place words whatever you feel like.
I'd join such project, at least for two disks, maybe tree.

So your idea of being open-minded is to take a dump on most OCR albums and disrespect all the artists who contributed to them?
Well, congratulations! You've just made yourself a bunch of new friends on this site/community.

Also, your definition of a 'real album' is highly subjective and close-minded, because many people do enjoy diversity.
Bottom line: you're not gonna get anyone on your side by dismissing every perspective but your own.

Less drinking, more thinking please.

Btw, did anyone check the Diaries of Olan fan-album that I linked earlier? Any thoughts?

I didn't said I'm open-minded. Still, I can't say I'm closed.
Album FOR ME is one single piece. Anything else is just digest.

Each single remix has its own personality. Listening the one single track is not the same as listening album. Album consist a theme, direction, which leads you using SOUND as a guide.
As I said before, It's my opinion about ALBUMs. NOT single tracks. If my words hurt someone, well thats to bad. I'm not gonna search an excuse for my opinion.
I just offered my thoughts.

Anyway, long ago this discussion moved to the individual. It's not the off-topic forum.


p.s. I've noticed your hyperactivity anywhere I post.. Are you alright man?

edit: forgot to say. SFME

I already had two posts in this thread (including one linked to a fanmade FFT project) before you showed up just to trash-talk OCR albums.
Don't try to cover up your mistakes afterward by making stuff up or setting-up others to take the blame for your errors in judgement.
Instead of talking about FFT (i.e. the topic), you decided to share your personal views on a completely off-topic subject:

Now be a man and assume your words instead of jokingly trying to ridicule someone else to make yourself look good.
/argument

Moving on, moar FFT remixes plox!

[Garpocalypse]

People are polarizing quick. This album needs to happen!

Mak is alright. He's Russian.

I don't want to start an OCR flaming here but as much as I love the individual tracks here, there aren't many albums that i'm as excited over on OCR. I know it's a huge task for the mixers involved as well as the director but just as the indivdual track needs to capture the spirit of the original in some way, so does the entire album.

Yea this thread got off topic and i'm partially to blame for that but how many request threads get this much attention?

Honestly, I don't mind if they do that, because

and I'm one of them - there's very few genres I outright dislike. I actually enjoy making playlists based on genre or mood made entirely of OCRemixes and OC Album tracks, and I like that most of those playlists have a dozen or more different games on them. But I can understand people wanting more of a definite progression to albums, too, so eh.

Honestly, whatever the artists want to share with me, in whatever order they want to share with me, is okay with me. But back on topic to FFT and Ivalice Alliance.

Actually, I missed that! I'll go check it out now, letcha know.

Hmm.. I have an offer.
OCR is a music community. We have a stupid confrontation.
Lets handle it in "music duel".
2 rounds.
Round one: Each of us making a remix for same source.
Round two: We collaborating for another source.
Then ppl listen both rounds and vote.
Melbu Frahma will be a referee. He'll chose the source for both rounds from FFT list.
What do you think? Could be a start for FFT album and it'll stop stupid confrontation.

This might be a good idea for remixing with the stars. Maybe each pair would pick a style and go at it.

Seeing as how subjective this is I don't think a music duel would solve anything. Alot of people like this OST and actually i'm kind of happy with none of the tracks from FFT being remixed a lot like Sonic 2's Ice Cap or everything from Mega Man. Just to say it again, I'm sure a fantastic dance/electronica/etc. could be done, but i wouldn't be able to listen to it with any sense of enjoyment and i know i'm not the only one that feels that way.

I still want to remix a song from this game. I've been put down for "Battle on the Bridge" but it's on hold for now until I gain mad skillz.

There's a big problem, though. The soundtrack is complicated, diverse, and quite advanced and it's really, really difficult for a noob like me to even make something that'll be comparable to the original track. The soundtrack is intimidating!

[Blissamenouzu]

I'm glad to see that I am not the only one who loved this soundtrack. I'd also like to amend my original statement. I am unsure of how to describe the ethereal sound I was talking about, but these are a few examples of what I consider ethereal sounding (I apologize if this isn't helpful)
Fate/Stay Night Realta Nua OST - Shinshoku ~ Shinshoku 2
Under Construction (Sonic the Hedgehog - The Sound of Speed)
NiGHTS:Lucid Dreaming - Restless Depths (Deep It Lies) [Avaris, Level 99]
Yume Miru Kusuri Soundtrack - 10 - To the World of Dreams
Sea of Prayers - Eureka Seven Soundtrack
Paprika - A Drop Filled With Memories

On a side note, are visual novels considered games?

Anyhow, I apologize if that isn't helpful and I'm sure not all tracks would sound good with that feel to them, but that's just what I imagined when I said ethereal sounding.

I wish I had musical talent or time to run a project...
