Animae Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I can't believe there have been no discussions around this album. Are the Black Mages frowned upon in the OCremix comunity? If anyone missed it, it was released on the 19 of March this year. I haven't heard it yet, but I plan to in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard it yet, but I & II were fantastic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Waiting for download and whatnot. Can't find it anywhere, but I'm excited about what's in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 How could you say you "can't find it anywhere" when there are links in this very thread? Or are you advocating piracy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenPi Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 im pretty sure he is saying he cant find a torrent of it or something. Thats how I see it anyway :S. I need to check my budget and perhaps I shall buy this . The first 2 were definitely very very awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are your panties ALWAYS in a bunch, Zircon? The big man managed to post the link right when I was posting mine, I.E. it wasn't there before until after I hit post reply... By that point I went on my merry way to other things. Besides, why the hell am I gonna buy something without previewing it first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Because previewing in the sense of downloading MP3s shared illegally is also illegal? You and DJP's simultaneous posts aside, you didn't try very hard to find it legally. I found it in about 10 seconds on the Canadian version of Amazon, probably in less time than it took you to post that you couldn't find it.

Fishy Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Besides, why the hell am I gonna buy something without previewing it first? Because they've released two bitchin albums previously and they're not exactly going to change a successful formula? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancer Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 There's previews of it on Youtube. Thats where I'm getting my kick off it. Their cover/remix of NEO ExDeath is really good. It gets you into the mood for a big fight like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 You can hear a preview on the official site. I can't believe there have been no discussions around this album. Are the Black Mages frowned upon in the OCremix comunity? If anyone missed it, it was released on the 19 of March this year. I haven't heard it yet, but I plan to in the near future. Your unbelief apparently wasn't enough to make you try an actual search...there have been a couple Black Mages III related topics already. I wouldn't say they're frowned upon, but they tend to be a bit on the cover-ish side, so it makes them kind of predictable. I've heard much better from the fan community to be sure.

Yeah, I did a search, but none of the threads had any discussion of the album after it was released. Furthermore, one of the threads was about an interview, and the other one was about the previews if I remember correctly. I agree that they tend to make to little variations in the songs, but some of their material is good. And I also agree that the fan community has produced better covers/remixes.

Skummel Maske Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I've listened to most of the album. I was pretty excited after having listened to the previews, but the album really was a let-down. Some of the tracks were alright, but nothing worth tossing money at. I tried listening to their "epic" track based on the FF6 Opera Scene, but I couldn't stand the vocals for more than half a minute or so.

The minute we start taking our moral basis from the legal system is the day we've got it all backwards. Because they've released two bitchin albums previously and they're not exactly going to change a successful formula? I hate to play the negative, but part three just plain sucks. Not even the Neo Exdeath track managed to interest me, and Celes/Maria in the opera track sounds like she's 300 lbs or more. This is coming from someone who loved the crap out of the first two.

No, of course not, and I didn't say that or even imply it. I did imply that for whatever reason, it's forum policy not to openly discuss pirating, and zircon, as a moderator, is responsible for enforcing that policy. So it's understandable that when someone raises a comment that sounds like an advocacy for pirating, it'd raise a red flag with zircon.

Kanthos Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Haha, nice adaptation. Although, lyrically, you'd want to replace Fithos or Wecos with Kanthos, not Lusec. (Apologies to all students of Latin for my spelling abominations). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that's wrong - you CAN discuss pirating, but you just can't link or mention any place where to get stuff illegally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSnowStorm Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I only heard one song from them, which is their metal remake of Dark Cloud from Final Fantasy III. They're pretty cool, but I have to listen to more of their stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although at least in this specific case, zircon seemed to favour a preemptive warning rather than having to edit out a link after the fact.
