Just wanna chime in to note that I built a machine in July, entirely based on parts suggested to me by prophetik, and it's served me super well since then. Huge props! Man knows what he's doing.

I'd consider joining but I am really only interested in doing a remix of an old battle theme that i've wanted to do since I heard it when 1.0 launched and has since been repurposed as a heavensward dungeon theme. If you open up the limitations in the future look me up and i'll stake my claim.
I doubt I'll be opening up the limitations for this album, but as I mentioned in the OP, I plan on doing a sequel album after this one that's specifically battle themes, so that one (assuming you're talking about "Quicksand", which was Thanalan 1.0 battle theme and now is Sohm Al Hard) would be perfect for that. I'll definitely let you know when that one gets started.

I've never played any Final Fantasy Games, but I'm interested in The Twin Faces of Fate. I'll take that one. Does it have to be any genre specifically?
The only limitation I've baked into this album is what sources are on offer. Besides that, you can do whatever you want. Knock yourself out!

Aside, I cannot wait to see what Oa does with Nobility Sleeps because that is basically a perfect piece of music, don't @ me
Back when I was privately floating the idea of this album, before I'd even figured out what tracks I was gonna offer as sources, OA was like "gimme Ishgard" and basically didn't give me a choice in the matter, lol

I drafted this post elsewhere before it got moved to the appropriate spot, so replying to bump it so everyone will see it now that it's public!

Wow, this is incredible!
Your husband did a great job with the video too, but I had to just listen to it with the video in another tab. Couldn't really watch much of it... I can't handle clips from this show right now, lol

After several of my friends got me into Final Fantasy XIV, I fell in love with the game so hard that I've been playing pretty regularly for a year and a half straight now. The game has an incredible soundtrack, with over 400 songs, and I wanted to see an OCR album for it. Of course, 400+ songs is insane, to the point where this game has a legit Guinness World Record for the most original music in a video game. With that much music, and since XIV isn't the cultural touchstone something like VI or VII is (WHICH IS A TRAVESTY), I couldn't guarantee I'd be able to get enough interest in this for even the standard four-disc type OCR album. So instead we're going for a smaller, targeted idea here.
The concept is simple: an album specifically for the area themes of the game. This includes city-states, towns, villages, the various zones you travel through, etc. I'm hoping to direct a sequel album in the future centered on battle/dungeon/boss/primal/raid/PVP themes, but let's see how this one does first.
If you're interested, please look through the list of 47 potential sources below (cut down from my original list of 120, lol), complete with YouTube links, and if anything jumps out at you and you'd like to remix it for the project, let me know! Everything on a single line uses the same basic source for several in-game remixes, so I've listed them together, and you'd basically be claiming that one "melody" for a single remix, so to speak, rather than three or four different songs.
If you're familiar with the XIV soundtrack and actually want to remix a source not in this list, and it's an area theme like the rest, then also let me know.
I would like to see this released within a year, but I do not currently have any specific deadlines in mind otherwise. I'll decide that down the line, once I see how many people are interested in the project.

It was much fun seeing everyone I was able to see!
Of course, that number was significantly lower than previous years, simply because of the hotel situation making everyone a lot more scattered. -
Definitely interested. I had a similar idea with renting places on the beaches of the NC Outer Banks, but those would be 3-5 room beachside cottages, and so getting more than 10-15 people together would require renting multiple cottages. This might work better.

I guess I'll have to make a MusicBrainz account for myself later? Neither of those links work unless I log in.
That said, one thing I did have time to look at and noticed an issue with were the release tracks for the album. You've got them tied to individual OCR mixpost numbers, but now that it's not April 1st anymore, those mixposts were wiped from the front page, and have since been replaced with real mixposts using the same numbers (the first of which is actually Jorito's second track on this album), so you'll want to fix the numbers there too.

That would be because Marlon only sung the lyrical parts in the Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 "Unknown from M.E." songs. The lyrics in this track come from the rapping in the Sonic Adventure 1 version, which Marlon did not do. See https://musicbrainz.org/recording/85f77fe2-2790-4791-898c-d51178bc916b.
The internet does not seem to agree whether his name is Dred Foxx or Dread Foxx though.

Really happy to see this finally released! Hope everyone enjoys it!

Kent, my man! Thanks for linking that; I totally forgot I asked you to pop over here and do that.

I've activated every single Sheikah Tower, and have gotten to every single town located near each of the Divine Beasts, but I have yet to even officially start the quests to get to the beasts. I'm having too much fun saying "screw the story" and just exploring.
I also really appreciate handheld mode because I'm able to bring my Switch to work and just save scumm the Lurelin village gambling game for mad cash while I'm busy coding.
-
I got the chance to play the Switch last Friday. Here's an absolutely gigantic FB post with my impressions on everything I played.
-
Are you four doing this direct to YouTube or is it done on Twitch or something similar first?
-
Double-post!
I don't mean to get people's hopes up unnecessarily, but I just want to mention that folks have recently been bugging Retro Studios staff on Twitter what they're currently working on. -
I checked in via Discord already, but just posting in here too to let everyone know I AM READY FOR THIS

I love everything about Metroid Prime 1, but I do agree that the artifacts weren't really handled well there, or throughout the entire Prime series really. The macguffins were handled best in Prime 3 IMO, where they were a bit more naturally scattered and easier to pick up as you travel than in Prime 1, and though they were required to complete the game, their usage came piecemeal throughout a side area with huge amounts of atmosphere that made their usage super memorable. But even there, those pickups weren't integrated with the game nearly as well as everything was integrated with the game back in Super, for example.

Chiming in for a belated signup on backup, in case anyone drops out later and you need an extra person to fill the slots back up.

The MAGFest schedule has gone live in the Guidebook app for iOS. The app is obviously on Android too, but some of my old buddies in the Metroid Metal community mentioned last night that something is buggy about the schedule on that side, as an advance warning. I imagine it will be fixed pretty soon.
OP post has been updated with the OCR panel names and times. If anything else happens event-wise (like, say, a last minute OCU Spring Break dance party in someone's room or something), I'll continue to edit the post as necessary.Nine days to go! GET HYPE

But yes, I am going.
I knew perfectly well you were going, but I only added names to the OP post of people who posted in this thread to say they were going.

IIRC, they just finished Final Fantasy IX right before MAGFest. I believe they're picking up Seiken Densetsu 3 next, mostly because Drumultima and I wouldn't stop bugging them to do it.
