We've got another villain signed on to enter: Only one more villain slot left.

Hopefully it doesn't come to it, but that is a possible approach I am considering. Awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing what you pick. Thanks for putting those playlists together, Xenonetix. It's something I was thinking of doing over the weekend after the sign-up period was over, so way to get ahead of the curve there. Sign-ups are still open until Friday at midnight so it's not too late yet. Don't sweat it if you've got a lot going on and don't think you can join, you can still participate by voting on tracks to help decide which mixers advance to the next round. Regarding that track, first I don't think that track really works as a character theme; second, I wouldn't accept the judge as a villain anyway. Thanks for taking an interest all the same, regardless of how things go, I hope you follow along.

Here's the latest update on the current status of sign-ups for the rRPC: A very nice selection we've got going here, but we still need four more people (two for each side) to meet the new goal of 16 participants. If you guys know anybody who might be interested in joining in on the compo, get them to check it out. They just might come on board. Sign-ups wrap up Friday night at midnight Eastern time.

Just a reminder, we are currently on the final week for sign-ups. This coming Friday at midnight Eastern time will be the cutoff point, so please get your character theme lists PMed to me before then. If you caught last night's , then you probably know that DarkeSword and I talked about the likelihood of settling for 16 participants total (8 per bracket) and cutting out one of the rounds. So unless we get a sudden surge of submissions (21 to be exact), that will be the most likely target for us to shoot for. Right now, I need two more heroes and two more villains at least and the fifth can go in either bracket as one of our current entrants has volunteered to fill in the final slot of whichever side I need.Also, if anyone checking out this thread is interested, I will be in need of someone who can design the brackets and any signature images for the participants. Get in touch with me if you're interested. Much appreciated!

Let's keep this to playable characters who can fight. The pool is already pretty big as it is.

Sorry, but no.

These were absolutely fantastic. This might not be your speed but Brossentia does a glitchy speedrun of Final Fantasy IV for the SNES dubbed . Lots of unusual sequence breaking as it gets near the end.

If the song is associated with the character closely enough. For example, Cecil from FFIV does not have a theme that is specifically his own like Rydia or Golbez do, but the Red Wings theme is close enough to his character that it would be an acceptable alternative. So long as the theme in question has a simple, logical connection to the character (theme of the group he/she leads, a track that plays during a key point in his/her story, etc.), it should be fine.

LeVar Burton is using Kickstarter to fund a revival of Reading Rainbow. They already hit their million dollar goal in the first day but there's still a lot of time left to see that counter go twice as high (and then some!).

I'm wondering about the whereabouts of the hype myself. I received sign-up number 11 earlier today though I need it resubmitted with the names of the intended character themes. Still got a long climb to get to that lofty 32 participants goal. Also, since it got brought up, I should weigh in on the Zelda: RPG or not? subject. I do not consider the Legend of Zelda to be an RPG series, they are action/adventure with puzzle-solving elements. However, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link does contain quite a few RPG elements and would likely qualify as an action RPG by today's standards. If someone were to sign up as Link with the overworld theme from Zelda II as his theme (I can't think of any other tracks from the game that would fit better), I would probably give it a pass. But that's the only exception.

If you could, I would appreciate it.

Oh yeah I definitely get you on that. That thought process was one of the driving forces that got me to start planning the rRPC. Anyway, in regards to the Final Fantasy question, there are no special rules regarding FF that wouldn't apply to any other series. Edit: Is that game an RPG? Also, the music would have to be original to the game and not from the cartoon since this is OCR. The deadline is midnight Eastern time on Friday, June 6th so you've still got time to think about it.

I'm not a regular viewer of his videos or anything but I hope he manages to pull through. Cancer is a horrible thing for anyone to have.

No worries man. It's all good and thank you for resubmitting the sign up list. Alright, thanks for clearing that up for me. It's still early but I am amazed we haven't had a single Final Fantasy theme as a #1 pick yet. While I was still preparing the opening post for the compo, I was imagining half the line up being FF-related. I'm not in any way saying we need that much FF in the compo (but I'll take it if that's what people want to run with), I'm just pleasantly surprised by the selection we've had so far. Keep 'em coming!

Skies of Arcadia is my number one favorite non-Sonic Sega game. Altered Beast was pretty fun back in the day and I've also liked what I've played of NiGHTS into Dreams after it was rereleased on the PSN. There's a whole album of awesome NiGHTS ReMix goodness and it's hard to narrow down that list.

Trouble is such a strong word. I'm just trying to keep all the sign ups uniform to keep it easy to organize. I got their PMs now but I'm just going to leave this here since it's kind of a recurring thing: Also, NovaReaper, for your number one pick, are you running as Ren or Tlachtga, or are they an inseparable pair like Zorn and Thorn or Solt and Peppor? Edit: You're more than welcome if you change your mind, evktalo.

We're 1/4 of the way to filling out the target roster. And everyone's number one picks are split evenly between heroes and villains too. So far we've got in the heroes bracket: urdailywater with Nepgear's Theme Ver. V from Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory Nonamer with Felix (Traversing Weyard) from Golden Sun: the Lost Age Ethan Rex with Frog's Theme from Chrono Trigger HoboKa with Aya's Theme from Parasite Eve And in the villains bracket: Jason Covenant with Pokey's Theme from Earthbound Mindwanderer with Gades (Battle Against Sinistrals) from Lufia 2 Ghetto Lee Lewis with Sherincal (Sherincal of the Chimera) from Icewind Dale 2 Saint Paradox with Team Skull's Skuntank (A Sinister Smell) from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time I'm pleased with the amount of diversity in everyone's number one selections so far.

In all honesty, I don't think we'll have to worry too much about running out of awesome sources. We've already had a nice representation of various RPG soundtracks in just the first day. I don't think the first come, first serve approach is unreasonable (I know you didn't actually say that); so far everyone's first choice has been unchallenged so anything they listed from choice 2-5 is fair game for others. It's only when two people have the same first choice that the second person will then drop to their second choice if it's not taken already. But if both competitors in this case agree to it, I am willing to flip a coin to decide who moves on to their next available choice if that is what they'd prefer.

I wasn't really aiming for secrecy when I decided to go with PMing sign ups, I just assumed people would be more forthcoming with their selections. An oversight on my part, I'll edit the sign up posts to better emphasize that. I fully encourage people to post their picks in the thread. If people really want to be on the hero bracket, their top picks will be hero themes. The same goes for villains, and I will announce as quickly as possible in the event of a bracket's roster being filled up. I think the way things are now in this regard will be fine, but I do appreciate the suggestion and I've made a note of it for future reference. Thank you. Yes they do. Any kind of RPG is welcome.

Sign-ups are now open. You don't have to do this, but it would be helpful to have youtube links to the themes you are submitting. I am fine with digging up the music myself but it would save me a little time down the road. Best of luck everyone and if you have any questions, let me know.

If the boss theme in question is associated with the character you have in mind. Gilgamesh (Clash on the Big Bridge) from Final Fantasy V and Magus (Battle with Magus) from Chrono Trigger are good examples that are acceptable. If the boss theme is just the standard boss theme of the game, it probably isn't tied closely enough to be any character's theme.

Just a friendly reminder that sign-ups will be opening tomorrow. It will probably be around noonish EST when that happens, give or take. Just wait for the official post, instructions on how to sign up will be included there and edited into the opening post as well. I will be asking for a list of characters when you sign up, so be sure to consider possible back ups in the event your first pick is already taken. Good luck to all of you!

Any RPG is fine, so long as the character and music theme you use is from an RPG. Even if Super Robot Wars ends up as a no go, there are so many other RPGs to consider.

I was able to successfully post the thread I wanted to create when I brought this issue up. Seems like it's been resolved. Thanks!
