Right, exactly. I also kinda doubt that their VC sales are going to be very good, given that they have a bad habit of not porting over your previous purchases (at all, or without a fee). Consumers are not going to be interested in paying for the 3rd or 4th time for the same VC game.

Yeah, they're probably looking at how XBox Live was at launch, where you pay a fee to get basic online features. They're forgetting that 1) the market has moved on since then, and 2) Nintendo games aren't really about online so much, and paying a fee so you can play just a couple of games online doesn't make much sense.

Well, that only pertains to my arrangement of Meteo for the album. HOWEVER, in the original, the "da-ga-da, DA" accents happen on beat three of each measure (all 3/4 meter), which threw me off. It took me a couple listens to figure it out, so I decided to play on it, which gave birth to the current WIP that you have. In my WIP, which I can't really link here (very sorry), I keep the A sections in 4+3, with the final bars of it in 5. The B section is in 5+6 (so I actually compressed the melody by 1 beat). I have nearly decided that the C section will be in straight, easy 4/4. Soooo thats a rough metric breakdown of my WIP, I guess. Its both easier and harder to arrange source material that has static harmony throughout whole sections. I like playing with time and groove, but it takes a lot for me to inject more creativity on top of that, which unfortunately shows my hand in terms of arranging. In terms of key changes - I was INCORRECT in my last post What actually happens is, lets say the tune starts out in E minor. It modulates to EITHER Eb Major, OR Ab Lydian (those two have the same collection of pitches). If it goes to Eb Major, then the chord changes during the B section are ||: IV - V - IV - V :|| or "AbMajor - BbMajor" If it goes to Ab Lydian (has a raised 4th scale degree), then the chord changes are ||: I - II - I - II :|| or "AbMajor - BbMajor" In either case, the chords are completely diatonic which is pretty cool. And truth be told, I REALLY would like a second opinion on that analysis.

Hi, love Chrono Cross a lot of celtic themes and string work. Happy to offer recordings for violin/viola (and very easy cello harmonies) if needed by people (for a few tracks) - good luck with the project =)

Can't Wait for this!

ok, i sent out follow-ups to most everyone who's submitted wips or has been in contact with me. i have a few people sending in new wips soon so i'm excited to hear how it's going from everyone! check your PMs please, looks like not everyone has email notification of PMs turned on. as of today we've got 6 finished, 4 WIPs, and four or five more WIPs promised to be in soon. looking pretty good!
