That sounded cool, and featured a lot of the instrumentation I could see you using in The Extreme. It'd be hard to find a guitarist who could cleanly play those lines anyway, so it'll be interesting to see how you tackle them Ok I'll mark you down! Bring some of that 1st place DoD to the track

I'm not sure what you mean

Yes! Thank you DusK I will add you on! The gauntlet has been tossed in the dust... this is going to be quite the undertaking, I hope you realize what you are doing here... I'll mark you down! Yes Geoffrey Taucer, I will mark you down!

Yes! Let's make this a really diverse and awesome album, let's show people why OCR Albums are EVENTS that shouldn't be missed.. let's collaborate to make this an unforgettable experience. ...and let's make funny faces and make quirky songs!

You could claim it! You're a posted mixer after all, though you would be bringing collaborators in with you too, right? Jordanius already did The Winner, but he did it for the FF2 album. I kept asking him to do Victory but mashed up with a different theme from the series, I guess I messed everything up though. I mean I'd love to have him on this album for sure if he stops hiding and comes back..

Yes! Let's do this! I'll mark you down Gario, thank you!

Welcome to the Album Thread for Final Fantasy VIII: Collision Course. The concept for this album stretches back to 2010 where a tracklisting and title were chosen for what one would have dreamed would be a great Final Fantasy VIII album. With your help, I'm hoping to make that a reality. Right now is the recruitment phase, so if you are a posted ReMixer, feel free to make a claim -- first come, first served on any source. If you are not a posted ReMixer, you are still welcome to join the album roster if you can produce high quality mixes, or are capable of producing a high quality arrangement and structure, then delivering your stems for mixing/mastering. Please submit an audition. Mixing/Mastering would be handled by me for anyone who requests it. There is no genre restriction, however please give much consideration to preserving the spirit of the source. tldr: first come, first served for posted remixers other artists, please submit an audition! mixing/mastering available on request if it's an emotional piano source, I reserve the right to bounce back your gangsta dubstep screamo mix Also if you're going to claim something like The Extreme, keep in mind it's gotta be excelsior TRACKLIST ReMixer Works in Progress posted here First Half Liberi Fatali (claimed by HeavenWraith) Balamb Garden (claimed by Chernabogue, Tuberz McGee, Furilas) Blue Fields (claimed by Chris Porter) Don't Be Afraid (claimed by Tuberz McGee) Find Your Way (claimed by Wiesty) The Landing (claimed by Sagnewshreds) SeeD (claimed by Manji) Breezy (claimed by RiverSound) Force Your Way (claimed by Ivan Hakštok) Waltz For The Moon (claimed by XPRTNovice) The Man with the Machine Gun (claimed by Gario) Julia (claimed by Geoffrey Taucer) Roses and Wine (claimed by Brandon Strader) Junction (claimed by DjjD) The Mission (claimed by jnWake) Only A Plank Between One and Perdition (claimed by shadowpsyc) Slide Show Pt. 2 (claimed by bluelighter) The Stage is Set (claimed by Larsec) Movin' (claimed by fxsnowy) Martial Law (claimed by JJT) Succession of Witches (claimed by Vled Tapas ft.

Well my status hasn't changed. Gosh dang. I still want to do it though. Hopefully within a couple months

Did you know MJ was in the second Men in Black movie?

I think the real answer is to get a day job lol. Even famous bands do that. Well, metal bands.

Hrmmm how come we have to support each other financially to begin with? As far as I know we're all poor. Isn't there some way we can get OTHER people to finance us? Aren't there any people out there who like what we do?

Someone please do what I haven't had the time to do and make some Destiny remixes. I don't know how many people will jump at this or if anyone will but it'd be awesome if you could remix the Marty O'Donnel soundtrack.... and then afterwards consider the newer soundtracks that don't feature Marty. Here's some suggestions: There's a lot more but I will stop there

Internal server error whenever I try to post... on phone and website.. not sure what causes it. The only thing I can think of that is consistent whenever I fail to post a post is including an emote, but I wasn't able to replicate that.. As a side note it was doing the same thing when I tried to send a message on my phone. I'm sorry I don't have more info but I really don't know what causes it, whether it's a certain character, an emote, or something else.

There will probably be women who see this who don't even know about Final Fantasy. And maybe they will just think it is good looking clothes. We are a bunch of male nerds on a message board, we aren't close to the target demographic at all. On some level I understand the criticisms but I also find it a silly thing to complain about, and as far as marketing goes, it could be worse. At least SE isn't locking content behind buying Red Bull

Yeah but I wouldn't feel right asking you to do that.

That sounds perfect. I hope to do the same

Febulary isn't actually that far off. BadButt 3 is going to be a fun time

I know you'd support my patreon and we'd cancel each other out and just end up paying tax to the site. So let's hang on to our cash

@djpretzelif there's a way I can help please let me know. Me taking forever to finish is more to blame than you guys improving the site, LOL. Not what I was meaning to suggest

The answer is basically 70s/80s prog rock, the stuff that inspired any number of Japanese vgm writers, like deep purple, kansas, etc etc. I wouldn't classify the MM music as any form of metal. It's the remixers job to make it that. Any similarity to metal as a result of hearing remixes is purely coincidental and circumstantial.

This thread is sad and the amount of salt, at least from the first bunch of posts, makes me stomach hurt Let people like what they like and get a hobby

Weird, I thought this had already come out.. it shoulda..

My computer's been down for a month, I just finally got my hard drive fixed and Windows installed. There's still the monumental task of installing every piece of software. And activating windows.

I agree with Sweetwater, I don't have plans or money to make a purchase, but when I DID, if there had been a sweetwater link I would have used it....
