So I saw that Willrock just had a Metal Man remix posted up on OCR, and I glanced at the bracket... Depending how this round goes, Willrock just might be remixing Metal Man again soon.

I absolutely love this piece. Very well done!

You didn't have to vote in the previous round to vote in this one; you just have to vote for everything in this round in order for your vote to count.

Yeah, I didn't look at the names until I finished listening and went to make my vote.

I haven't listened to this yet, but I just wanted to chime in that I was at the GDC a couple years ago when this game won the grand prize at the Independent Game Festival, and to now see an OCR for it... Simply astounding.

For anyone trying to think of a game to remix, a few games with awesome soundtracks and very very few OCRs are Plok, Alundra, and EVO: Search for Eden. Just some food for thought.

Put me in the "bring back the alpha links" camp. Sure, I've got every mix released up to this point on my computer, but it's great for when I'm at work and want to point my coworkers at a particular mix. Also, if someone wants to find remixes from a particular game, the current system won't let you do that (I tried; it said it couldn't find any remixes with Final Fantasy 6 in the title).

Yeah, any chance of rehosting the torrent at least?

They were my employers too at one point, and I trash-talked them even then.

Just saying, is all.

If you've got a Wii, Mario RPG was just released for the Virtual Console.

Obviously, I'm in the game. I just can't tell you who I am.

Unfortunately, that's one thing that we weren't able to test particularly well. With only ten people on the test server (when we started; we're down to five QA people now), there was never any real competition for mobs between us. I think the best thing you can probably do is send a friendly e-mail with your concerns to customerservice@perfectworldinc.com and we'll pass them on to the developers. I can't promise they'll listen, but it's the best way to get your thoughts to us. *shrug* Doesn't bother me that you don't like the game (unless you think the translation sucks... I'd have to break your kneecaps if that were the case). Everyone likes different things, after all.On a slightly different note, the QA period ended and my contract didn't get extended, so I'm no longer on the project.

The game just went live.

That's how I've always pronounced it...

Arise, my thread... I GIVE YOU LIFE! Just wanted to let you know that Closed Beta started on Tuesday. Open Beta will begin on the 2nd. Characters get wiped at the end of Closed Beta, but Open Beta will continue directly into the "official release" without any loss of progress.

The Dark Elf is... Difficult. Got through the first phase of the fight, then he turned into that serpent thing and used an attack that did about 600 damage to everyone, then started doing melee hits for 800+.

Yeah, I noticed that he does more damage when his health is low this time around. By the end, he was practically one-shotting Tellah and Rydia.

As Falchion39 said (and I only just confirmed this myself), it appears that all the countries that already have their own versions of the game (such as China, Malaysia, and the Philippines) are being IP blocked from this version. That should cut down on botting considerably.

I'm pretty sure in the original FF4 characters joined at a set level too...

Unfortunately, that sort of thing is impossible to include in the scope of QA, but hopefully our GMs will take care of it better than most other free MMOs.

I only just left the Village of Mist, but it looks that way so far.

Well, I'm not sure if you'd consider normal PvE fighting skill-based (it's fairly similar to WoW's, only you generally use a lot more skills and a lot fewer auto-attacks), but endgame PvP consists of massive-scale guild vs. guild battles for control of whole areas of the world map. I haven't tried it out yet, but from the videos and such I've seen it might be the sort of thing you're looking for.

Spent the first half of my lunch break picking it up, and the second half playing it. So far it's pretty faithful to the original, except with cool voiced cutscenes and a much better (and expanded) translation.

There's a forum now: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/ That's probably the best place to ask questions, since there are a bunch of posters who play on the Malaysian client.
