I'm surprised people would hate Metroid Other M's music to begin with. The hate for the game, I can understand completely, but the music was pretty good. I especially liked the title theme piano. It definitely doesn't rise up to Kenji Yamamoto's work on the series but it wasn't bad by any means.

If JESUS CHRIST IT'S A DINOSAUR GET IN THE EPOCH has anything to say about percussion.. it's as musical as a guitar.

I feel like maybe your problem is more with the instrumentation itself rather than the composition Brandon? Because ReMixing IS sampling a section of a game tune to your own piece of music (composition). And in the case of samples that people buy and have consumer rights to use then those aren't even part of a published or completed work, just an idea that's been put into a small WAV file. Very similar to something like a snare sample, or cymbal sample, or a flute sample, guitar sample, synth preset, etc. I don't see any major problem using those either since most samples those now a days. Really it just seems like you're making a big deal out of something that isn't. :/

That's my middle name too : D

Don't see a problem here. Anybody can play a 4 second harp loop. A good composer can make something out of that loop. Kind of like those artists who take stuff from garbage cans and makes really cool stuff with it. edit: i sincerely hope you wouldn't use that kind logic to crap on decades of good hip-hop, would you Brandon? cause i'd be mad.

Woohoo! I'm so excited Ike didn't get the boot. I liked his inclusion in Brawl so much (played him a lot more than I did Roy). We like Ike!

Well, if I don't win the compo, then at least I'll win those two categories : D I would like to win this thing, though. I feel like I'm gonna try a lot harder than the last few compo's since I'm more personally attached to the music than any other compo I've been in : D

1.) Hyperdimension Neptunia V - - Hero2.) Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door - - Villain3.) Earthbound - - Hero4.) Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness - - Villain

I thought DKC2 was pretty dynamic - same with Balance and Ruin. A lot of albums have that same kind of variation though. Those two are big ones that come to mind, though.

All past compo's have done this. I think it's basically keep things equal across the whole compo. I think it's a good rule to have as it doesn't give any one track a technical advantage over the other.

I'm definitely going to sign up 'cause I"m not having any luck completing songs for merely hobby purposes anymore. I think deadlines and competition really help. It sucks you're only gonna allow character themes 'cause overworld themes are just too good sometimes D: but 'tis ok. I hope this all works out (it should, because <3 <3 <3 RPG's) I'm going to go for something from an NIS game. Yay for more OCR obscurity : D

yay, i'm glad they're giving the option to change up a characters look completely through costumes. that's something project m did and it was really cool. it makes battles with the same characters easier.

I'm having trouble getting in touch with TGH, but I'm sure I'll get in touch before the deadline. I"m just curious, if it comes down to it, would the MP3 by itself be ok? I'm pretty sure by itself if it's up to submission standards to the site, I'm just not sure if TGH even has the project file anymore since it was so long ago. He might, but might not. I know the Links Awakening had it to where some songs didn't have WAV's available at submission and was wondering if that'd work here (if it wasn't available)

I think it'd make a lot more sense to things like that, so probably. It made things a bit easier sure but I feel like a lot of things in the past games were used to make it more accessible and honestly less boring (like XP share mechanics). I'm really curious how they're going to go about sea travel and diving. Hoenn is pretty much half made up of sea iirc, so they should do something to really spice things up with sea travel. No ideas off the top of my head but it could make the experience 100x better if they changed how things were done. They should seriously take this oppurtunity to change a bunch of things rather than just dropping Hoenn into the current engine like they seemed to do with the past two games.. Introduce new mechanics, or maybe change the landscapes to be a lot more natural than before. Hoenn was a very pretty looking region so graphics are going to mean a lot to the game.

I didn't read that other post until after posting mine (and reading this). My bad for being redundant, I feel silly now. This honestly looks like it's going to be the cutscene for when Groudon and Kyogre start trying to end the world. I kind of forgot exactly what happened to the plot around that time, but I do know that before the battle with Groudon everything was super bright, and with Kyogre there was that huge drizzle storm. End of the world stuff. I should knowing seeing as I played through those games at least 10 different times. D:

I'm pretty sure you can just use the slider on the side.

X&Y did the same thing, this is not any different. Only cutscenes and battles will be in 3D.

I'm going to watch this comment section for the next two hours or until my eyes bleed out.

I really appreciate it Brandon. Would you possibly mind sending me the WAV when/if you get it? I'd like to be able to listen to the song in the meantime. It was very pleasant I'll also do my part and hit TGH up on Skype if he doesn't respond in time here. That's the only other place I'd know where to find him. That loving bastard. :3

No messages from Chernabogue. Not sure what's going on or if it got lost in limbo :/ I'll contact TheGuitahHeroe, any files I had are long gone with hardware backups and losses so I'm hoping he still has the WIP. edit: or rather, the wav itself. all i ever had was the mp3. i haven't even been able to listen to the remix since my file lost 2 years ago 'cause he hid it on his box account. never bothered asking for it after that.

What happened to mine and TheGuitahHeroe's Smurfs remix. I'm pretty sure he sent in the finished file, is everything OK?

can't wait for the xy remakes when i'm too old and busy to care anymore. those will be the days.

Well, now you get to experience Ruby/Sapphire in X/Y glory. Though to be honest all the games have the same feel, not sure why X/Y would change your mind to begin with. If anything Ruby/Sapphire was the point in the series that felt really fresh with a bit of a different design approach. But it's all still pretty samey. vidja gaems suk knowing their last two remakes it doesn't really seem like they'll go for changing the plot up too much imo. i personally hope they do, seeing as ruby/sapphire had one of the best plots for the series (seriously, two teams, god pokemon showdown, what's not to love). I'm hoping they at least expand on the plot though, make it feel a little bit more fresh. Some of the locales have a chance to be extremely epic feeling (Mt. Chimney, that place you find Rayquaza). They could do so much more with the 3DS engine (especially now that they something to work off of with XY) so here's hoping they do it.
