    Xenoblade Chronicles X so good.  That robot in the lake got me too, hah.  Couldn't target him so I figured it was just some relic or something.

     

    I'm a big fan of the variety of cool gear you can get even early on.  I like to switch up my parties fashion gear to keep things interesting while I'm romping around Mira.

    What's everyone up to??

    Signing in is such a chore!

    I'm busy working and stuff. My music PC recently decided to die but I'm gonna try to fix it this week. In my bits of spare time lately I've been trying to finish my playthrough of Persona 4 that I started ages ago. I'm pretty close!

    Action & Tactical RPGs

    Hm, well considering you were talking about Star Ocean I'm surprised to see no mention of any of the Tales series games.  Tales of Symphonia was probably the first huge RPG that I've actually completed more than once.  All the Tales games have a battle system is very similar to Star Ocean (And the music is by Sakuraba in both series as far as I recall, which is always nice).

     

    Another interesting one is Eternal Sonata.  It is pseudo-turn based as far as I remember, but it involves a lot of positioning and even aiming with ranged weapons and the like.  The story is pretty whack, it's basically in Frederic Chopin's dream world or something.  Characters and locations are mostly named after musical terms which is kinda cool.  I don't remember many other details but it's worth a shot I'd say if you can find it somewhere for cheap.

    Nintendo Wii U

    While the Gamepad is required for some initial startup, a lot of games can be played without it.  You can boot up the Wii U with the Gamepad and start a game right from the quick launch screen without having to even go through the main menu, then proceed to use a different compatible controller.  The Wii classic controller can be used for several games, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, and Donkey Kong being among them (There's plenty more).  This way your Gamepad wont even see much use so its chance of breaking is even lower.  I've moved houses a few times and taken mine places and used it for plenty of games and it has yet to malfunction on me personally.

    As anyone who has played it knows, those neo green bumpers actually do change colour when you hit them. They turn yellow and then red. They become more and more chilidog coloured with each strike. When they are struck a final time, they disappear. One could assume that Sonic found them the most appetizing in their red hue and indeed ingested them. Or they're just bumpers I dunno.

    Hey, I see you got that super awesome Pokémon remix!  I don't think I could have done better. :< I got a little busy and just moved back home. But I got my music stuff set up so if you'd still like a remix for the NES golf game I can try to whip up something for ya. Sorry for the radio silence following my previous interest in the project.

     

    EDIT - orrrrrrr if Dragon Warrior is an option I could do that.  Let me know what you prefer! 

    New Compo Idea/Interest: Game Shift Remix

    I love the idea.  A week seems fine but I get the concern of having it so short since there would be a bit more preparation involved.  Bi-weekly or monthly sounds good to me, I'd probably jump in every now and then.  I like the idea of having it like a PRC kind of thing so that I don't have to commit to a long term thing like the gauntlets.

    Don't have much more time today so I'm wrapping mine up now.  I had some ideas for the Sigma stuff and they didn't turn out quite as well as I had hoped.  But it was a fun style to experiment with so it's all good.  Best of luck to everyone, I look forward to hearing some tasty jams. :D

     

    *EDIT - I totally put Round 4 instead of 5 in my submission PM.  I apologize :(

    I come and go at times.  I was working a lot earlier this year, and had a pretty busy summer, but I'm posting a bit more here and working on more music again.  Notably in the SFRG thinger, but I'm looking to finish up all my project commitments in the near future and work on some more original stuff to release.

    I just picked this up yesterday and I'm having a pretty fun time. Got to about level 7 today, and I think I've been doing pretty well. Most games I end up with one of the higher scores. Though I get pretty stomped sometimes :< I'm definitely itching to try the ranked stuff.

    If anyone wants to add me on Wii U that hasn't my Nintendo ID thing is AmphibiousFrog. Just let me know so I can add you back!

    Listening party is over! Logs: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/93696675/sfrg_round3_party_log.txt

    Thanks to everyone who joined!

    Definitely agree with what some of y'all said regarding my track. It was pretty safe, I wish I had more time to work on it, I think I only got to spend about 5 hours or so on it. My dog got sick unexpectedly so I had my hands full for a while, but hey things happen! The guitar was a last minute addition and it wasn't too great of a take. I'll definitely try to expand on it before I try to submit it.

    Thanks for all the comments so far! Gonna give the tracks a listen some time tomorrow :D

    Also, I don't think I ever did metal WillRock :P though I've done a couple rock remixes here and there. Maybe I'll attempt that next time!

    I usually just put the melodies over some seventh chords and call it a day.

    But actually my approach is similar to Sir_Nuts, I usually get a couple of different ideas for my theme in my head then hope that the other theme for my round can be used in a reasonably comfortable way.

    Don't be afraid to alter rhythms and fragments of the melodies to some degree. While going too liberal might not be good (as I sometimes tend to do on occasion) things don't always need to stay extremely close to the original. It can be a little easier to make a compelling and fresh take on the themes when you impose less limits on yourself. Maybe lots of people have already thought about this but I'm just throwing out some thoughts in case it helps. I'm a little sleepy so I hope I'm making sense :<
