Coaltergeist Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) Songs of the Dragon Children A Fire Emblem 7 Tribute Album (Artwork and name tentative, obviously) Original thread quote: "So, with the release of Fire Emblem Awakening on 3DS, everyone I have seen has been clamoring over that. However, what they fail to see is that this year is the 10 year anniversary of the first fire emblem game to be released worldwide (november)! I remember the GBA fire emblem games the most fondly (especially stones), but all of the games in the series have great music, gba ones included. Would anyone be interested in an album for the gba fire emblems, or possibly the series as a whole?" Games: Fire Emblem for all you North Americans, Fire Emblem 7: Rekka No Ken (Blazing Sword) for everyone else (It's the 1st one on the gba in America, 2nd one in Japan:P) Concept: I was playing this game recently, and for all of its popularity, I was extremely surprised that It had no albums OR even singles on OCRemix. This album is just to pay tribute to that first localized game that is the main reason we have the amazing Fire Emblem Games we have today. Style of music: Anything goes, although I would like to keep the same style of the source material. If someone were to make a really cool techno/breakbeat version of "Together We Ride," that's completely alright, as long as it is decent and matches the feel of the original. Current Team: Just Me so far. Some people have expressed interest, but I would like a confirmation after I post this if you really want in. Who we need: Remixers. That's the main focus so far. We will however need a website programmer if we so wish to have one (I would). An artist to make the album and website art would be nice as well; if the current logo is any indication of my art skills (or lack thereof), then an artist will definitely be appreciated. Dates:It would be amazing if we could finish this by November 3rd, as that is the 10th anniversary of the game's NTSC release. However, I understand that this is a steep bargain, and will begrudgingly move that date to later if I have to. I will post check in dates once some people sign on board, so get to it! Keep in mind that I do want to limit the number of tracks so that a release this year would be possibly feasible, so depending on how many people we get, more songs could be added. My idea for bonus songs (if we even get there...) was that if there was another song in the series that was cool, we could add that. However, right now, I would very much like to stay focused on Blazing Sword; if there is extra time/remixers, maybe. And, without further ado (in no order), the songlist Key: Unclaimed Claimed(no WIP) Claimed(WIP) Finished Girl of the Plains (Lyn's theme) ( )One Heart (Eliwood's theme) ( )Loyalty (Hector's theme) ( )A new adventure (main theme) ( )together we ride ( )(claimed by PixelPanic)unshakable faith ( )strike! ( )Rise to the Challenge ( )Arena battle ( )(possibly mashed up with other themes, like a battle theme) everything into the dark (Theme of Nergal)( ) companions ( ) distant travels ( ) inescapable fate (Theme of Morphs)( ) reminiscence (Ninian and Nils Theme)( )People who you can use in your remix (and their instrument): AngelCityOutlaw (electric guitar) Pokemonstein (whistling) MangaMan (Beautiful Voice) Willing to collab: G-Mixer Art (hopefully): Keiiii MangaMan If you have any questions, post it on this board, PM me, or email me at fireemblem7remix@gmail.com Happy remixing!

AngelCityOutlaw Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 A Fire Emblem album would be epic. It would also be a nice change from Final Fantasy for once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaltergeist Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 theres some great music to choose from; the smash series is a testament to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirby Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 This is something I could get behind, definitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argle Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 big Fire Emblem fan here. I approve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaltergeist Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 what would the theme be? I think we can all think of songs we would like to remix, but what theme would the album have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirby Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 There doesn't necessarily have to be a theme, ya know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaltergeist Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 alright, I just thought it might be cool. I wasnt talking about theme as in electronic, or rock, i was just saying the general structure of the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argle Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Not sure there needs to be a specific theme, unless you can think of one. You just need figure out which of the one or two hundred tracks you want to put on the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaltergeist Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 yeah, you guys are right. any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argle Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Welp, it might make sense to limit yerself to one game, then you'd have a fighting chance. Otherwise it's like saying, "let's do a Final Fantasy remix album." Which one?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelCityOutlaw Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I'd suggest only remixing as many tracks as necessary. That's better than one of these 40 track albums that takes years to complete. So like Argle said, stick to one game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirby Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 There are some songs that occur in multiple installments though. Together We Ride is in at least 5 of them. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaltergeist Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) so for example, I said that it was the 1st american game's 10th anniversary this year. Would it be reasonable to do an album from that game only, maybe 10 main tracks and some bonus tracks? EDIT ex (in no order): main theme together we ride unshakable faith strike! Arena battle everything into the dark companions distant travels inescapable fate that song from melee that I cant remember the the source material of (you know the one ) Edited February 7, 2013 by Coaltergeist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirby Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Well definitely put character themes there. That's big. Those are important. and if anyone wants to collab with me, I'd love to tackle Lyn's Theme :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaltergeist Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 great idea, mirby. Any names for the album? I was thinking something that has to do with the dragon's gate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaltergeist Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) ...thats good. i like it EDIT: should i start a thread? we have the base ideas, just need some artwork and more remixers Edited February 7, 2013 by Coaltergeist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirby Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Why not just use this one? Put song choices in the first post and rename the thread (double-click near it while on the Recruit & Collaborate board view where you see all the topics). That should work.

Coaltergeist Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) Good Idea; you obviously know more about this than I do. It shall be done! EDIT: done! be sure to tell me if you have any suggestions of how I should set it up.

pokemoneinstein Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Wish I could find the time to help out. This is one of my favorite soundtracks of all. Good luck, everybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelPanic Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Yo, if claims can be called, Together We Ride for me. I've got an Anamanaguchi-esque chiptune punk style that would sound great with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelCityOutlaw Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 If anyone, for some reason, needs some electric guitar for their tune, I'd be up for playing. I can send clean, re-ampable tracks if you so desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
