Certainly a long mix, but not bad at all. Lots of good ideas, great arrangement. But in the end I feel that this mix goes on for maybe 2 minutes too long. There are a couple of places where the arrangement vamps and I don't think there's enough evolution in the texture to justify it. Things begin to drag, given the plodding nature of the melody (lots of piano-on-downbeat going on for quite a while). I think this ought to be tightened up in terms of arrangement, perhaps condensed. NO, resub

We started early last year, actually. The roster changed a couple of times, but the music had actually been done for quite a while. A lot of time was spent waiting for a good time to release because certain things besides music needed to get done. The other four albums get progressively smaller. Water is 9, Fire is 8, and Earth and Dawn are 7. I'm considering adding other tracks to the last two but I'm not really going to worry about that right now. The album art style is going to remain consistent; only the overall color scheme of each album will change.

Shamisen!!

Yeah this kind of gets overbearing, especially in the mid- and low-end. I can understand what you're trying to do; evolving textures and all that; the problem is that your evolving textures have very little to do with the source music and they take up the majority of your piece. I think this needs more melodic sections to keep it on track. Soundscape is weird; lots of muffled, boomy sounds. Might want to adjust some EQ and levels. NO

I like it. It's got a fun, unique texture and you guys did some interesting things with the chords. Samples/sequencing is not the best, but this is pretty solid. Great composition. YES

Gonna agree here. Fantastic listen but it's way too much of a medley. My favorite part is the SMB2 theme. I'd love to hear a full version of just that. Montages and medleys are cool in that "hey, remember all these songs?" kind of way, but what we're really looking for is cohesive pieces. If you're gonna use a lot of sources, the transitions have to really be seamless, not just a sudden gearshift to another tune. Every theme here is also arranged in basically the same style, which makes the whole thing sort of a blur. Would like to hear something more focused. NO

Please make sure this is a recruitment thread only. If you want to organize things like claim tracks and set deadlines, you need to do that on your own forum, unless you're aiming to be official OCR, in which case you need to send us a proposal, as detailed in the sticky at the top of this forum.

Please make sure you're sticking to this and not asking for WIPs or setting deadlines.

I ordered Reach from Amazon. Been looking forward to it.

caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake

Let me know what kind of lyrics you wanna do. PM or catch me on AIM or something.

This thread is a general Q&A/detail thread for Final Fantasy V - The Fabled Warriors, OCR’s FF5 album series. About There are 5 albums in The Fabled Warriors: WIND, WATER, FIRE, EARTH, and DAWN. Each album is comprised of arrangements written as character themes of important characters in the game and the job classes made available by the respective crystals. The fifth album doesn’t correspond to a crystal, as there is no “Dawn” crystal in the game; instead it covers the additional job classes available in the Gameboy Advance re-release. Schedule WIND was released in September 2010. WATER was released in May 2016. FIRE is targeted for 2018. This is not a release date or a promise, just a goal. EARTH, and DAWN have no target dates.

The Prelude relaxing DarkeSword Signups are open. The Fabled Warriors runs on an audition-enrollment system. To sign up for a track, please provide a sample of your work that illustrates you’re able to compose and produce in the style required. If you have a Final Fantasy V remix you’re already working on and want me to put on the project, chances are I won’t take it. The Fabled Warriors has a very specific concept, and I’m not looking for music that wasn’t written without the concept in mind. That said, I still encourage you to submit your remix to OCR, because there is always room for more FF5 remixes, whether they are on the project or not. Feel free to ask any questions you have about the project.

Did you submit it?

Why are you wasting time posting in a topic you don't like? If you don't like a topic, ignore it. Another post like this and you'll be banned. Seriously, only warning.

Thank you for drawing the character tiles!!!

Yeah the best way to do it is to share the music. Good ways to do it are to use social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook to pimp out albums and remixes. Also, you can burn CDs for your friends or just play the music at parties or whatever.

Yeah, it's a catchy tune.

Yes but I don't fall for that anymore. So

Nope. And yes, she really needs pass-through for EX Hayate.

Parry it. Oh wait.

I have a Volcano Valley (Sonic 3DB Gen) hip-hop instrumental that needs lyrics. Also, moved to Recruit.

Post sources please.

This game didn't really release to a lot of fanfare, did it? I remember reading about it though. The soundtrack really is amazing. Anyway, talking about the forums on the forums is stupid. Offending posts have been moved. Let's stay on-topic, which in this thread means talking about Nier. If you don't know what Nier is, there is a link to a review of the game in the fifth post of the thread. Have fun.

It's not a dumb question. Generally speaking, we don't have solid target release dates for our official albums. Albums are produced by the community and we only start to plan releases for them when they finish; when an album "finishes" is really a moving target, as it depends on a lot of different factors.
