    in Competitions

    Posted

    Voting for the Villain Bracket Round One is now open! You may download the round’s zip folder here. Voting may be done in the rRPC Social Group and will remain open until noon EST on Monday, June/30. Be sure to vote in every match up or else your vote will not count. If you want to post reviews of the round’s tracks, do so in a single post in this thread.

    For easy access to the source themes used in each round, check out the rRPC Roster.

    aw, shit. I, er, uh... I meant "yay". Yeah, that's what I meant. :-P

    So now that voting is definitely going to happen (although with two of the brackets instead of all four), how exactly will it work? This is the first time voting has actually happened

    Pretty much the same way it does in the other compos. We have a social group where I will create voting threads for after I finish preparing the music zip file for downloading. Then anyone can vote by making one post in each match-up thread for the round stating only the mixer name of whomever you wish to vote for. Whichever mixer has the most votes by the end of the voting period (which will end the same time as the current round) will advance to the next round. For match-ups that did not have both participants, the one who submitted music gets an automatic pass to the next round.

    I will post again when the music is ready and the voting period is set to begin.

    Villain Bracket Round One is officially closed.

    The heroes have set off upon the open road where an expansive world awaits them. The sheer beauty of the land and the relaxing breeze underlie the hidden dangers of traveling across the land. Monsters and other unscrupulous types pop up seemingly at random, forcing the heroes into battle again and again. With each challenge, the heroes grow stronger, and while some may fall behind, they can still see their destination towering on the horizon.

    Hero Bracket Round Two: The Vast, Open World

    The focus of Hero Bracket Round Two is on Overworld Themes. Exploration of a vast, unknown world has been a feature of many RPGs over the years and now it is the rRPC’s turn. The round themes for this week’s match-ups are:

    djg-music and Ethan Rex:

    Yami and evktalo:

    Round Two also marks the unlocking of the Summon System! Now mixers may choose whether to use their own character’s theme in their mixes or to replace it with the theme of the character they were matched up with in the previous round. And if any mixers use their summons, they also have the option of collaborating with the mixer who originally used that theme. Due to the outcome of the Hero Bracket’s first round, here is a rundown of who has access to each summon:

    djg-music can summon Nonamer’s Felix

    Ethan Rex can summon NovaReaper’s Ren and Tlachtga

    Yami can summon HoboKa’s Aya

    evktalo can summon urdailywater’s Nepgear

    And for anyone who was eliminated from the first round, round two marks the start of Fallen Mixes. For those who still wish to participate in the rRPC, there are additional source themes leftover that were not selected for the bracket itself. Fallen Heroes may choose any one of these four sources to combine with their character theme, and if they are submitted on time, they will be included in the zip file for the round’s tracks. You are free to collaborate with your fellow Fallen from either side (though for now, there are only Heroes) but the main mixer must use their character’s theme.

    The Fallen Mixes for Round Two of the Hero Bracket are:

    Overworld Theme 4 - The 7th Saga

    Field of Expel - Star Ocean: the Second Story

    If, for whatever reason, none of these themes appeal to you, you may also make a mix combining your theme with the theme of any one of the other Fallen characters regardless of which side they are on.

    ReMixers will have until noon EST on Monday, June 30 to submit their mixes to me via PM at which point the next round for the Villain Bracket will begin. Don’t forget to follow the instructions provided in the opening post of the thread when submitting your mixes, I will not accept tracks sent in the wrong format or improperly titled. Now go forth Heroes and save the world!

    As I've said during the previous round, I will happily take a WIP over nothing at all. Don't feel discouraged just because you feel the work is not complete. The feedback you get from the compo followers might be what you need to make it OCR mixpost-worthy.

    Anyway, there's about 17 hours left in the round now. I haven't heard from many people last time I asked for a status update. So far, Xenonetix is the only one to submit anything. Best of luck guys, let's start sending things in!

    I just signed up and got Thief. So do I just play with all Thieves or 1 Thief and 3 Freelancers or what?

    It depends on what criteria you signed up with. If you just went with a Normal run, which is the default, then you have to make all four party members thieves until you get the next job. After that you can do any combination of those two jobs, let's say thief and time mage, just so long as you have at least one person using each one. You continue this with the third and fourth jobs so by the start of the second world, each character must be using a separate job (though you can switch them around and use other job abilities in this mode).

    I am playing the 'natural' mode which restricts each crystal's acquired job to a specific character. So right now I have Bartz as a white mage and the rest of my party remain freelancers until they get their respective crystal's job class.

    I hope that helped explain things. The Four Job Fiesta site has a help page that should be able to answer any more questions.

    So am I up against DJG next week? It seems like the bracket has got pretty wonky.

    EDIT: I realized this sort of sounded like I was trying to start early, and that's not what I was getting at (and also would be impossible due to Hero bracket setup lol). I just like scoping out my competition for the next week ahead of time.

    No worries, I totally understood what you were getting at. And I will agree the bracket has got wonky.

    As promised, here are some thoughts I have on the Hero Bracket Round One tracks:

    A Taste of Ivalice - The use of both themes was pretty seamless as far as I could tell. The track feels like it could be slipped into a scene from Final Fantasy Tactics and nobody would notice one of its sources is from a Mana game. I would definitely like to hear this track expanded on and touched up.

    Dustin Time - Very chill and chippy merger of the two tracks. Production could be improved and a little more length and expansion would be nice (though the round source itself was under a minute long).

    Spirit of Beginning - Definitely still feels like a work-in-progress but I very much like what you've got going so far. It turned out pretty well for only having a week's worth of time to make and I remember you posting your frustrations of transcribing the source. Anything else I can think of to comment on evktalo said much better than I could. The track does end abruptly, which suggests to me there is still more you wanted to do with it and I very much hope you return to it after the compo concludes.

    Avoin tie - Overall a good combination of the two sources. I probably would not have noticed you copy/pasted half the song if you hadn't admitted to it yourself. Production could be improved and the drums seem to be all over the place at times, but it turned out pretty well for only having a week to work on it. As I've said for everyone else, I would like to hear this again after it's been touched up and expanded on.

    Thank you all for submitting this round and I look forward to hearing what you do in the next one. Reminds me I should probably finalize the round 2 source themes soon. Villains, how are you all faring so far?

    It's alright, life throws us curveballs from time to time and we can't always be prepared for everything. I don't want anyone feeling like they should not have signed up in the first place because frankly, it would have been harder to get the compo off the ground in the first place if you hadn't. And there are still Fallen mixes to consider if you have the time, but more on those when we get to round 2.

    They both advance because otherwise we will end up with an odd number of participants in round 2 which will make things more complicated to sort out when we get there. Fortunately, since they do not have to mix each other's character themes, round 2 won't feel like a repeat match up. This is definitely not what I was hoping for but it is what it is.

    I'm still deliberating on what to do about summons for Yami and evktalo. djg-music and Ethan Rex will get their opponents' themes but since Yami and evktalo were in the same match-up, I have to figure out who gets which theme between urdailywater and HoboKa. It'll probably boil down to a coin toss or roll of a die. Yami and evktalo, if you guys have any preferences regarding tracks or the method of deciding, message me and we will work something out we can all agree on.

    The entrants for the Hero Bracket Round One are now available for download. However, due to the low turnout of submitted mixes, there will not be a vote for this round. The four mixers who have provided me with their tracks will advance to the next round by default.

    Still, I encourage everyone to give the tracks a listen and post your reviews of them in this thread. For easy access to the source themes used in each round, check out the rRPC Roster. Here's to better luck in the next round.

    Round One of the Hero Bracket is now officially closed.

    The return of the Divinity Orb triggered a sudden resurgence of evil in the world. Many denizens of darkness stirred and made their way toward the hallowed resting place of the orb seeking to make it their own. However, what began as a conflict of interests quickly escalated into war as the greedy and selfish villains turned against one another. Through cunning, trickery, and sheer brute force, eight villainous superpowers emerged from the chaos; each with one eye set upon the Divinity Orb and the other upon each other.

    Villain Bracket Round One: The Eight Denizens of Darkness

    With the conclusion of the Hero Bracket’s first round, the time has come for the Villains to take center stage. These Villains have traveled far from their dark domains for the chance to become the supreme ruler (or destroyer) of the world. Here is a rundown of this week’s match-ups:

    Anorax (

    ) vs. Jason Covenant (
    )

    Mindwanderer (

    ) vs. gercr (
    )

    Saint Paradox (

    ) vs. Xenonetix (
    )

    Supercoolmike (

    ) vs. Ghetto Lee Lewis (
    )

    ReMixers will have until noon EST on Monday, June 23 to submit their mixes to me via PM. Be sure to follow the instructions provided in the opening post of the thread when submitting your mixes, I will not accept tracks sent in the wrong format or improperly titled. May the worst villain win.
