1337 1 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I'm just about to head off on my holiday, but I'll leave this seeding for the next five days while I'm away. You guys couldn't have picked better timing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrocity Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Anywhere else I can get the torrent from. Download doesn't seem to work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeToKill Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 The torrent doesn't work for me either. It adds it to my uTorrent but it doesn't actually download anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrocity Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I can't even get that far. Seems like the bt.--- server is having load issues is my guess. Anybody else have the torrent and can post it somewhere else for now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abadoss Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 hey, this album is absolutely awesome. i forget whose little brother is the one yelling, but it's really funny. I believe that's Cyril's brother... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abadoss Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 This has been a real pleasure to work on. I think in a sense, we've all become a bit like family... *cricket, cricket*... uh, good friends... *cricket, cricket*... solid acquantences because of this experience. Seriously though, I've had a lot of fun and I've really appreciated the comradarie that I experienced in the process. Good job everyone! This thing seriously rocks!

Matt E. Waldman Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I'm SO getting this. FFIV is my favorite Final Fantasy(game and music-wise). I'll definitely be sure to spread the word on this as much as I can, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-wix Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Took me about 12 or so tries to get the torrent going, the link must be getting slammed, but I got it and its going.. a little slow now but whichever! Super excited to check this out The preview sounded awesome! can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nekofrog Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Thought you guys might like to see this if you haven't already: http://kotaku.com/5318013/final-fantasy-iv-gets-overclocked The Kotaku community once again proves itself one notch above the GameFAQs community but one notch below the NeoGAF community in stupidity and utter ignorance. Honestly, I am usually pretty blasé about these re-interpretations (they're not remixes, I wish people would use that term properly) of game music. It is very, very hit or miss.Oftentimes they're put out by folks who - like in this case - are very technically capable, but don't seem to know crap about music, thematically or even just what sounds good. The ritualistic butchering of the last battle theme in this particular package, I think, illustrates this pretty well. When they're good, they're very good, but that by and large comes from having good source material in the first place, and none of that can be attributed to these "remix" authors. I do always enjoy checking them out though. I've found that the quality of OC ReMixes has declined in the last several years. It's become like VGMix, where nearly anybody who can put chords together could submit.Do you remember the high quality of mixes released in the first few years, when djpretzel still made emulation comics? That isn't to say that the new mixes all suck, but rather that there's so much coming out of the site that you have to stay dedicated to listening to posted songs to weed out the bad ones. And when I say "high quality", I mean Alexander Prievert, McVaffe, Mutagene, Scott Peeples, ailsean, AmIEvil, etc. Hell, McVaffe, AmIEvil, and ailsean have what are probably the most well-known remixes on the site, with AmIEvil's and ailsean's Terra remixes being the pinnacle of Final Fantasy mixes, and McVaffe is just generally awesome. Incidentally, the OC albums that have come out in recent years haven't been that good, with the best one being the Super Turbo HD Remix soundtrack, which was good, but not great.

prophetik music Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 can i point out i've got 74 posts in the project thread (total: 714 posts)? that makes me kind of important, right? edit: ninja neko, i KNOW! there were people there saying that this site's quality level has dropped off recently, and nothing beats scott peeples. i mean, seriously! scott peeples!

SoulinEther Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 So far, I'm loving it. I am going through all of it instead of skipping to my favorites from the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I would love to get this, but you seem to have broken the interwebs. Every torrent I try to get fails to load, and a lot of the trackers don't have this listed yet. Why did you make an album that would break its delivery system once people heard how good it was? EDIT: Oh, good. It finally managed to connect and start downloading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final Hero Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Awesomeness. The Home Page video is rockin', and I'm already on my second play-through of my favorites of the songs. Great job, everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely blown away by how many people are trying to connect to torrent right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.B. Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Nice work! I demand a photoshopped Cecil nwg. Now. I finally, just re-beat the game and am now fully awash in nostalgia. So I shall give a critical listen to this over the next couple/few days. But from the second half that I was able to tune in for at the irc kickoff, I was made very happy. Thanks guys. Remixing my favorite game of all time and doing an awesome job at it makes you all officially kickass in my book. Also, I am so, so incredibly giddy that I have THREE FULL ALBUMS (and then some) to listen to. You guys covered... well... everything, didn't you? I couldn't ask for more. Question: as tracks get posted on ocr, will there be any that are submitted/posted differently than they appear in the album? I ask because this might save bandwidth (at least from my downloading)... if I know a track is the same as on the album then I won't dl it, but if I think it could possibly be different then I'll dl it anyway. If that sounds AR, well, maybe it is, but I've found (subjectively, at least) better ocr versions before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.B. Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Carpets Co and I agree again! Wholeheartedly! I might like this guy. Yes yes so everyone torrent, listen, and give praise in the album review thread. And continue bumping this one for good measure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZealPath Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 After having this for a couple days (well, not quite yet I guess) I just have to say I'm so glad this project has come to fruition. Not that I had any doubts, but with this being the first FF game I had ever played, and having come to know what to expect from OCR, the bar was set high, and this album definitely lived up to the hype. I'd definitely like to do a more in depth breakdown of my opinion of the tracks once I've come to know them all a little better, but right now I'm just glad it's here, and having now experienced the entire album, it's safe to say the album is pretty friggen sweet. Thanks to everyone involved for a serious dose of awesomeness!!! PS: I think the Scuba Divers are my new heroes!! I knew as soon as I heard the Team Gato reference that I would love it, but having read that one dude's interview beforehand (the guy who hated it, if you read it you'll know what I'm talking about) I can't help but just laugh more.
