Done - Give some more WIP feedback Done

@Rozo: from the first post & your sig, which one is the most accurate available tracklist in the multiverse?

I've been following from behind the scenes... April is support 'Another' month!

Bingo! More like 56 seconds in fact... The reason behind this is an epic story to tell to my grand-childs. I barely made it! So Gario & Garian aren't the same man? That's odd, I would have swore they were one person.

Ahah! Don't worry I'm here to back you up. I'll bring the latte, make photocopies & stuff! Nothing new to showcase this week, but a fresh remix will be up next friday. Stay tuned.

So far so good. It's a neat feature indeed! This will really help appreciate a rich diversity of opinion regarding the remixes, without having to constantly switch back & forth between pages. Added to the tagging campain currently in progress, it will help everyone gain a lot of time, and hopefully encourage people to be more productive (ie= moar reviews). Much appreciated.

Where did you get the idea I wanted to make a poll?! I was refering to the possibility for users to check the boxes in order to vote. Jeez.... ahem... sir, excuse me but This side up. Handle with care.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Maybe he doesn't want to enter the boiling magma sauce over there... That will make one sad Gario.

Allright! Brace yourselves for the worst combat system evolution ever! Basically they take the mechanics from FFXII... and they go backwards in time. Forcing players to enter a zone, like prior turn-based ATB, only to move & fight freely like in FFXII. And the most laughtable matter: Compared to what the early demos were showcasing, I was expecting a very dynamic & modular combat system. But those battle are just way too soporific, it's painful to watch!

As for the universe, we don't know all the ties just yet. That painting here may be of a divinty from FFXIII, and the weaponry of the antagonist of VersusXIII's hero, ressembles the one of the main character of FFXIII. The storyline may extend between generations. And if that's the case, imagine how huge an achievement those 3 games will be. I think they're trying to do in one episode what they did with Compilation of FFVII. Create ramifications & emotional link to entice gamers who loved one game to play (=buy) them all. I can already picture the enormous merchandising around that too.

FFXIII is sooo gonna get overshadowed by Versus XIII. First modern FinalFantasy since FFVIII, it was about time.

If it's a poll, where are the boxes to crosscheck, and the colored status bar to follow progress or something? Anyoo, I think it's about time we forgive the poor Gunpei Yokoi and his Virtual Boy. Time to turn and face the future. It's about time we get those damn virtual reality helmets! Oh they sure can make them. In fact they could have been doing it for a long time already. But that will never happen. Why? Way too many epileptic-death cases on their conciences that's why. So I guess now, everybody will stick to their Power-Fist MkII & enjoy their digital-selves.

I've made a banner from the original art, for anyone who want to support. Don't forget to link it to the project's thread if you use it. Thx!

Yes, please, join the game. That way I won't end up being Gario's Fanclub chairman!

I've just found out about this track, and I was amazed by the turn taken here. Original tune is very catchy, and was re-interpreted here in a very clever way. The piano solos are nice & really give this piece a colorful vibe. I luved the groove approach of this track. Reminds me a lot of the Neptunes. Dhsu put the bar very high for anyone to pass after him... Which puts me under pressure, since I'm doing team china for the ATW project. Anyway, great arrangement. Recommended.

Enjoy & get that zelda project rollin' Proph! Cheers!

One of my favorite song from FF8. Even if it can be slightly improved in the EQ department, It's a strong arrangement. There are a LOT of instruments... And by that I mean: Holy crap! You nailed every last one of 'em, & bring together the essence of a rich & varied musical piece. Actually, you've completely overcame the somewhat boring second part of the original song. You sure put a lot of work into that one, & done justice to 'the extreme'. Great work.

This game is my favorite of the 8bit generation, and this piece is one of my definite childhood moment. It starts slow & build up nicely, much like the original. The rendition is true to its roots: dynamic, with very proheminent melody, and the drum programming is clean & effective. The thematic material is well incorporated, with smooth transitions in-between parts. Around 1:50 & 3:00, the song really sounds like it could fit in any recent Rockman soundtrack. Which mind you, is even more compelling to me! And it ends with the classic 'megaman exit' sfx, right on schedule. This remix is seven years old, but hasn't got a single wrinkle. A must-listen for fans of the blue-bomber and OCremix enthusiasts alike!

@colinjstewart: Glad to see some Rockman luv! Thank for pointing out these flaws. I wasn't sure myself. I'll work on it for next update. @Gario: Were you aware of that remix? It's the same source as here. It's an arrange, and it follows the main melody almost note by note too. But It was great & therefore it got posted. Hope is not lost! edit: 400 views! Feedback, where are you?

I found this. Haven't tried it, but seems to be what you're looking for...& free.

The real issue as nothing to do with the density of your song Gario. It's that the begining constantly reminds me of Undersea Palace from CT. It may sounds strange, but I always think of Chonodyne Marine while composing for this piece... Thus the musical-roadblock.

@Gario: Thanks for your input, I modified my post-title accordingly. I'll try to make good use of your technical advices too. And of course, the fade out was temporary. After all, it's a WIP for a reason. Feedback is most welcome, as I'm still learning a lot here. So don't hesitate, I'm open to criticism. Thx!

Dark Void's composer video-interview. He's got a very interesting approach on the place of music in the game.
