Ptazza Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 All the pledges cover shipping to ANYWHERE in the world. Antarctica? Covered. Yes, really. Nice thanks just pledged $50. Here's hoping it turns out fantastic.
Doobie Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Are we going to get jewel case or dvd case? Or is that not decieded yet?
Jansu Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Q: The first kickstarter had a target of $15K, this one is TWICE that - what gives?A: Good question! We didn't just arbitrarily increase the total; the new adjusted cost factors in the fifth disc from the get-go AND includes licensing/royalties for Square-Enix. So if 4 discs was $15k, bump that 25% for disc 5 = $18,750. $30,000 baseline - $18,750 adjusted cost = $11,250 for Square Enix, huh? I hope that's all, that it's a flat rate based on the printed discs and not a scaling 37.5 percent of whatever the Kickstarter takes in. As of this post that would be $23,344.50 for nothing more than saying "OK" (after imposing other requirements which we'll probably never hear about, including not using SE mascots on the front page). /bitter EDIT: I want to make abundantly clear it's SE I'm bitter toward, not anyone at OCR. I love this project and this community and wish you nothing but success. Probably half my iTunes library is OC ReMixes. Edited September 28, 2012 by Jansu clarified
SwordBreaker Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Man, I don't want to jinx this project, but there's some insane support going on right now. 62K is an EPIC number, and there's still 27 days to go. I honestly thought that the relaunch will hit a roadblock because of the debacle the first one had, but I think that by now it'll definitely break the record of the first one and then some! Keep up the pace, guys. So...any other surprise stretch goals planned?
Hyperion5182 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 @Jansu Doubt it, negotiations are a process. Which these clearly were by the time it took. They were handled relatively quickly but kickstarter put a wrench in the whole thing. Several concessions were made by OCR for the ability to put these on physical copy. No doubt OCR wanted the lowest rate it could get. In which case SE said we need you to do this, this, and this. After some haggling OCR agreed. What it probably equates to is a flat rate per unit. At the base of 35k Probably (your 11k number/2000) equates to 5.62 dollars per unit. I cant see OCR agreeing to such a punative cost (that percentage royalty) for a hard copy production. They could have gone pure digital and been 'fuck SE' SE could have gone pure legal in that circumstance but this place has been around a long time and SE's known about it AWHILE Plus the list of people now remixing on this website has become a bit of a whos who in the VG music world. It would be a very ugly battle. This was settled fast and amicably. If more copies are required it'll probably be at that 5.62 rate. Any real excess i believe is gonna probably going to website support

As we are doing things with a level of additional oversight we need to plan what we say + do carefully!

Teslacrashed Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 At this rate, the OCRemix FF1 Remix project is going to be 10 CDs.
Unununium Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 At this rate, the OCRemix FF1 Remix project is going to be 10 CDs. Share and enjoy!
Gavvie Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Just dropped $100 into the pot. FFVI is one of my favourite Final Fantasy games, and some of the demos in the video on Kickstarter are just superb. Add to that the bonus Sound of Speed album, and I was sold. Thank you kindly, and looking forward to hearing Balance & Ruin in December
Jedi_Trooper Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 *throws money at screen* Re-pledge has been...reapplied...Looking forward to a hard copy of Armored Core >_>. Wait this was for FFVI? That too >_> .
Weimar Pluto Knight VII Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 damn isn't that $1000? I'd pay that much but that's just too much lol
Krug Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 My 50 bucks is back in the pile! I can't wait for this album to make sweet, sweet love to my ears!
Abadoss Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 $50 pledged. These will be the second and third physical albums that I'll own for OCR projects after FFIV.
Mirby Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 $50 pledged. These will be the second and third physical albums that I'll own for OCR projects after FFIV. Funny that all your physical OCR albums are FF projects.
Abadoss Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Funny that all your physical OCR albums are FF projects. My amusement by that is one of the reasons I pledged the $50.
Mirby Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 My amusement by that is one of the reasons I pledged the $50. It's a good reason.
Abadoss Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 It's a good reason. Once FFIX comes out with a physical copy, I think my FF cravings will be satisfied.
BlackRazgriz Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Holy guacamole!!! You guys already have 85K. Damn
KyleJCrb Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Yeah, pretty much back up to where they were before the first Kickstarter was taken down, and then some. I was a little concerned that some of the momentum would be lost after the morale drain from the first round, but obviously I had nothing to worry about!
Unununium Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Yeah, pretty much back up to where they were before the first Kickstarter was taken down, and then some.I'm glad we're at this point despite the lack of $5000 backers. I believe there were two before. Instead we get around two hundred more $50 backers, and I'd prefer to have more people at a lower level than a handful at a high level. Also, I don't remember going beyond $80K before, and right now we're 10% beyond that at $88K, with three weeks to go.
DaMonz Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 You guys rock, and that's why you get my 50$. Please TAKE MY MONEY IT'S ALL YOURS I WANT MOAR REEMIXEZ
Melbu Frahma Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 I'm glad we're at this point despite the lack of $5000 backers. Yeah, I've been wondering what happened to those two donors. *shrug* Still, it's great that OCR's gotten as much as it has already.
Liontamer Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Yeah, I've been wondering what happened to those two donors. *shrug* Still, it's great that OCR's gotten as much as it has already. That's a good point! If we can find them, we'll reach out and see if they're still interested.
Brandon Strader Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 The sequence of events: - Larry finds the 5k backers - They both back for 5k - 100k stretch goal reached - Larry is a hero
