XD That's a FF NES trilogy thang Hi. I am editing in a little something here I wanted to say. Shortly after announcing this project, a facebook friend informed me that there was another FF8 album coming out soon from a different group of people. I guess I was told as a warning, perhaps because there'd be some conflict between that album and this one. I told him I didn't see it that way and I don't. I don't mean any offense to the other project, I'm sure it will have some great stuff on it, however... looking at the claims list here, I know these people. I've heard of them, I've heard their work and I know that a high level of quality will be attained with this album. So looking past the obvious thing of OCR album releases being really top notch with websites, artwork, trailers, etc... we'll still have that edge of the increased quality control, but through the project process and through the evaluation / submissions panel. I'm not "denouncing" anything. I'm going to check out that "other" album, even though I think it's going to cost money. I'm not going to buy it. But I'll preview some of it. If you were involved with that album and chose to contribute here too, that is awesome. I appreciate every artist who has signed on here for the love of the soundtrack and love of working on music in general. If I could pay you guys I would (looking at the list of claims, I'd have to be damn rich to give each person what they deserve). I am glad that your passion surpasses the idea of a measly percentage of a percentage of sales. So that's it. I didn't know about it, now I do, but it doesn't change anything, and I hope none of you are discouraged either. We'll show the world what a real FF8 album sounds like, and OCR's release package will be a thing of beauty. shadowpsyc, Chernabogue, fxsnowy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagnewshreds Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I see no problem with people releasing different albums for the same game. More music is always a good thing to me. I'll definitely check out that other album too. Brandon Strader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Strader Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Just so everyone knows, I want to point this out while the thread is still in Community and people will be able to see it. What's going to happen eventually is that this thread will get moved to the Projects subforum where you will be able to monitor and post in it there. Just because the thread is moved or doesn't show up in Community anymore doesn't mean that the project is cancelled or some nonsense! So I want you to be aware, especially people who probably aren't too familiar with how the forums work, there's a Projects subforum and this will be there at some point. Please don't drop your claims because you can't find the thread! Chernabogue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodude Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Sooo glad to see FF8 getting the rework treatment! I feel that it is Uematsu's best FF soundtrack. Very excited to see what ends up on the final version! Keep up the awesome work guys Brandon Strader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Excited to hear some WIPs. Hoping some of the remixers just send their finished songs to make it a little easier. Wahhh this is really exciting. Couldn't have dreamed of a better result for the FF8 album with all these people involved, way back in 2010 when I was first thinking of this idea I had no idea it could be such a big deal some day. Interested in an art style for the artwork. Hoping for something very good. We've been lucky with the art for FF1/FF2, but I'd like to get something from a different artist with a different style, though with quality just as high. I also like the idea of composite art that mixes real-world photography with digitally painted or 3D modeled assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You stated that you hope to have the album finished by 2018, so I'm wondering if you have some sort of timeline in mind as far as iterations for tracks go?

bluelighter Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I come a little late. Is there possibility to choose a track that not appears here or the tracklist is definitive? I think others can be interesting to be remixing. In any case, great news to see ff8 will have its turn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Awkward.... That is not so easy to enforce or brush things to the side...sorry if you saw my previous response I don't mean to imply anything. Anyone who claimed something would be dedicated enough I suppose. Though my personal wish is that people want to work on this because they loved the game/music, and not so much just because it's an OCR album! Second apology: The scope for Overture is very high. It's not quite open for claims unless that claim matches the very high (professional level) that is expected for it.. I'm going to mark it as reserved until said opportunity arises.

Brandon Strader Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Super ultimate double-post time! Just wanted to say, PROJECT REMIXERS -- go look for that secret project subforum. It's under "Projects" on the forum here. If you can post there, please do. That way we'll know you have access. Also if you have a work in progress, please make a new thread in that private subforum and link your WIP there for people to give feedback on. Thanks!!

Brandon Strader Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Ok.. Tag for @djpretzel and @DarkeSword and perhaps 1 of them could check that out in the morning. They're the ones that can add/edit people to the subforum. This is why it's a good thing for people to post in there to make sure they can so that it can get fixed if they can't so they can post their WIPs. Not sure what causes the error, but I just got access yesterday and I also have a space in my username. Not saying that's the cause, but there's evidence! Big thanks to DJP and DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowpsyc Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I also get that and I have no space, so NOT having a space in your username is also a possible cause Brandon Strader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpretzel Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 @Chris Porter Music, @shadowpsyc, @Brandon Strader - can you give it another go? Permissions were configured on the FF8 forum itself, but not on the parent forum, which I believe was the issue. Brandon Strader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyril the Wolf Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Is it too late to make a claim on a tune? I've been wanting to do "Where I Belong" for awhile now but it always kept getting put off by other projects I was involved with. I definitely have something vocal in mind for that, probably female lead but I need to cobble it together and rewrite the lyrics now that I'm not 16 and relatively inexperienced - EDIT: Apologies for being so late this year started pretty intensely and haven't really had a chance to check out these forums.
