It's finally going to start soon. I don't care which team I'm on but would like to join this competition before it's too late.

Hi, sorry for bumping this thread from 2 years ago but the topic interests me. I'm both a VGM Arranger and a huge Kingdom Hearts fan (I feel in love with KH1 back in 2003 and been a fan since). While I don't have any experience with others playing my music, I feel I could provide something to this album idea (I have a unique style to my music with an emphasis on melody and write in Musescore). How much progress do you have on other themes besides Roxas? I could maybe provide an arrangement for Riku (maybe something representing his character growth and having decent energy), Xehanort (I've always wanted to do a theme for him), Saix/Isa (I think it would primarily incorporate "Sacred Moon"), the other villains (that could be fun), and/or Ventus.

I think this is a pretty cool idea. I'd like to participate but we'll see (I'm thinking of doing a couple other projects at this time). I like Halloween and am a horror fan. However somebody already suggested doing a spooky Touhou remix so I'll think of something else to do.

Highly interpretive for sure. I can now picture a film noir adaptation of Octopath Traveler 2 and it's quite nice. It's got a nice groove to it as well. It also reminds me a little of Stranger Things and John Carpenter. Good job.

How did I forget to comment on this mix? As a Touhou fan, I think this is a very good vocal mix. Great job.

This is a nice dynamic blend of EDM styles and keeps your attention throughout. Good job.

Since I was in GSM2 and had some success (my team ended up winning), why not join this one. I'm unfamiliar with both series but I'd like to try anyway. Only problem is that I'm going to be out of town for a weekend in July (due to my birthday).

Hi, I know I'm not a fan of Trap nor an expert in it but I'll give an opinion. It's a competent sample flip but unfortunately OCR usually expects a bit more personalization. Currently I can still hear the source's samples in it but I feel changing the samples/instruments to something else (even a different soundfont) would help both distinguish the arrangement from the source and highlight the personal embellishments (such as the Trap beat itself). Sorry if I sound harsh, I just think it's too conservative at the moment (both in arrangement and instrumentation). That being said, I'd prefer that you keep at it because the idea behind the mix (a Trap remix of a classic Sonic theme) and the general groove are quite good.

Hi, I'm in a bit of a creative rut and looking for a way out. While my only experience with Fire Emblem is playing Three Houses and a RP server I'm in, I think I could provide an interesting remix for this album. I have a unique style and make electronic music (hard to classify) using Musescore and FL Studio Free Edition. I've been kicked off a few albums already for quality reasons (namely at Pixel Mixers) but I've been steadily improving my craft. I'll take one of the games nobody's claimed yet. Like I said, I don't have much experience with Fire Emblem in general but think that only makes it a better challenge. I might need to a list of significant tracks for one of the unclaimed games but I'd like to join this project.

Sounds like Bowser took up meditation with an Indian guru. Maybe he'll find inner peace or give up on Princess Peach (like either would ever happen) ... This remix takes a classic theme and interprets it in the framework of an Indian Raga (a style OCR doesn't get often). The result has a lot of beauty and character. I think the instrumentation is well done and perfect for meditation. Honestly good job on the remix.

Happy Mother's Day (I hope everyone had a good one). Despite having some plans on incorporating "Bloody Tears" (I consider it a VGM classic with a great melody) into one of my own remixes, I decided to listen to this track after Larry posted about it. I feel the Rap portion covers Alucard's story well and is a nice gift for the occasion. While I've never been a fan of Trap music personally (especially when done by amateurs), I found the arrangement strong and distinct for a source that's been remixed plenty (not saying that's a bad thing, especially in this case). Over all, good job.

I listened to this as part of a workshop event. It's very pretty (like the original) and faithful to the original. However it's too faithful/conservative in this case (it only seems to differentiate itself from the beautiful original around 3:20). I really like the dark and epic drums at that point and feel like this mix could've used them a lot earlier. Overall it sounds good for a cover.

I listened to this remix as part of a workshop event and I kinda like it. It's got a great groove to it and is pretty creative. However I feel the violin section is both thin and misplaced (it'd work better as an intro than in it's current placement). Also agree with Liontamer/Larry on not having enough of the melody of "Hidden Palace Zone". Still it's a good start and I'd love to hear a completed version of this on the site some day.

I was chatting with Reuben this evening and he mentioned this remix so I listened to it. It's oddly beautiful(even with the drills in mind) and an interesting take on the source. I like it.

This is a really good remix of an underrated track. Earth Kid's maniacal voice acting fits the track like a glove and apparently is taken from the game. The metal arrangement is tasteful and fits a sorceress perfectly. Good job over all and a highlight of January 2024.
