Gario Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) (Art by Zeth) The time has come: The definitive OCR Lufia project is officially online again (Again!)! The Lufia series has one of THE great soundtracks of the SNES era, and Bahamut wanted to honor it with an album project. This was at a time where MANY albums were being developed on OCR, and this one quietly trudged along. After some time I agree'd to help co-direct the project, but even with my help this project fell into a deep slumber of relative inactivity. Bahamut's life became too complicated to continue this in earnest, and I've had school and relative job insecurity that held me back. While Bahamut still has other obligations in life that don't allow him to dedicate the time to finish something like this, my time has cleared up, which has allowed me to take this project 100% head on again. I will be the director of this album from this point on, with Bahamut's blessings. All of my thanks goes to him for starting and establishing this project, getting it to where it is today. In addition, Theory of N has agree'd to co-direct this album. As the scope of the project expanded outside of my ability to control it when it... spirals to the nether, he is here to keep everything on track. So far he has done wonders behind the scenes, and I am sure he will continue to do so. Any music from Lufia II and its DS remake will be accepted for this project. It's a compromise between the original vision (Lufia I & II's soundtrack) and the later vision (ONLY having Lufia II music); there are quite a few good Lufia I tracks that were rearranged for the DS remake, so some of those Lufia I tracks have become available again. This is a list of the music that already has a prior claim: if you are not on this list then you don't have a claim to this music. Music that's considered a Prime Pick is music that the album really shouldn't be without - please pick one of those, if one is available, as that music is iconic. Solid picks are other great tracks from the soundtrack, though they're less iconic to the soundtrack. The tracks that would be Nice to have are tracks on the OST that are less known, and would likely not be missed if they're not on the album. However, please pick any track that suits your tastes - I will not reject a good WIP of even the lesser known tracks! Claim (No WIP) Claim (with any WIP) Significant claim (50% WIP) Nearly finished (90-100%, without WAV) Finished (100%, WAV submitted) Reserved/Claimed: Opening Theme (Evory) The Prophet (Daragan) Battle #2 (Gario) The Silent World (DjjD) Parcelyte Presidential Administration / Port City (Flexstyle) Mountain of No Return\Labrynth (bLiNd) Battle #3 (Prince uf Darkness & Snappleman) Tanbel Abandoned Mine (Rockos) The Earth (World Map) (P.M.

The Greatest Thieves in the World Throne Room Nice to have: Fortress Town, Gratz Empire Forest Village, Eserikto Logimos Shrine (Above Ground) Mountain Path of Ice Fog Soma Shrine (Below Ground) Gratz Underground Factory Wedding Bells If it's not on the list, it's open to claim for yourself. Any track from Lufia II or the DS remake are fair game; while I will be posting a list of songs in the near future, you can make your claims now. If you're a posted (or to-be-posted) ReMixer, the claim will be held (until you miss a date). If you are not a posted ReMixer, please either PM me a sample of your work, or send a well produced WIP of the track you'd like to claim. Here is a list of due dates for this album (2024): No more submissions will be accepted at this time. This is the final, no exceptions submission date for the album. There have been a few folk on here that have wanted to contribute since the last album submission - which is greatly appreciated! However, hell or high water this is when this album will be submitted to the site again, so if the final product is not finished by this date, you are not going to be on the album. Let's make a Lufia album that's truly worthy of the Gods! Edited October 1 by Gario djpretzel, Chernabogue, swansdown and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPRTNovice Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 So, to date, my favorite remix I've ever done is this one. I finished it nearly four years ago and nobody has ever heard it. I am probably going to completely redo everything involved. Gario 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyril the Wolf Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Gonna retool some things for Azure Skies of course. Maybe jump on a couple that I definitely have wanted to do for ages, but we'll see how the next few weeks go. Gario 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zykO Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 ok guess i'll have to reclaim "three towers," then - i can send a current WIP tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Alright! I will be marking it down as claimed, good sir! Also will be adjusting the deadlines a little tonight, considering the slow start this is getting, but a WIP would be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eitzpii Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Interesting project. Lufia soundtrack is so awesome and i'd like to participate in this thing :D. How many songs can one person arrange? I have two songs in my mind but hard to decide :D. Gario 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 As many as you feel you can handle. If you can manage a good WIP for two tracks and keep up with deadlines, they'll be yours. And yes, Lufia's soundtrack is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have material from my previous projects and i link some of them here to show what kind of things i can possibly do. Not greatest arrangements, but there are certain elements that i can mold into something new for this album :D. Gario 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorito Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I. am. tempted. Gario 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Jorito, you would be a great addition to the project. Just let me know what you've got an eye on and I'll mark it for you. Eitzpii, that's plenty to hold a claim for a 1st WIP, so the tracks are yours! I only request you send me some downloadable versions so I can store them properly, and once things get moving I'll give you some advice on where to go from what you've got. Welcome aboard! I've tweaked a few dates on the project, to account for the relatively slow start-up for the project (having no response until late January/early February counts as an extraordinary circumstance, to me), but seeing more people post in here with interest is a great thing to see. I moved the planned first compo to two weeks from now, but that WILL be when they start. For those that are less known, it's a great way to get something on the project easily and quickly, and for more experienced members there will be benefits to taking the compos by storm. Details on them in a week, where I will be announcing them on Discord and Facebook. Eitzpii 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorito Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 My biggest problem is that I'm not overly familiar with the sound track and open to recommendations/personal favorites to take a look at. Otherwise I'll go over the sources and see which one inspires me. Why am I here if I don't even know the game that well? Easy, great music and album projects are a great way to discover more games and more great music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm not overly familiar with the rest of the sound track and open to recommendations/personal favorites to take a look at. Otherwise I'll go over the sources and see which one inspires me. Final Daos battle is a great choice - great battle music, wasn't a part of the project prior (due to it being in the DS and not the original Lufia 2) so it doesn't have a claim. If you want to look at music, start there and work up. My humblest of suggestions. Also, I really like that track, as it was a classic from Lufia 1.

Jorito Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 LOL, I was just checking the available tracks and stumbled upon Final Daos battle myself... it's one of the few tracks I know and loved, so if you could mark that one in red and put my name behind it, that'd be great Gario 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorito Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Also I'd like to point out that there's no such thing as February 31st, so if you are wondering why nobody submitted anything before your deadline, that's why. I'll try to get you a WIP before February 28 Gario 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the file on hand (it's probably on Bahamut's hard drive at the moment), and it's my mistake for not reaching out to you earlier for it. I'll put your track in the source list on hold until I get the latest copy of it from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbeast Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Hey, I would like to claim 'The One Who Will Save the Earth' I am also a posted mixer if that helps http://ocremix.org/artist/14607/sbeast/remixes Eitzpii and Gario 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 And it is yours! That's legitimately my favorite track from Lufia, so be sure to kick some ass with it. Eitzpii 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eitzpii Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Alright! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to arrange those two songs. What method do you prefer for sending WIP files :)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually I'll start opening the project forums up for newcomers, but that's take me a little time. Glad you're stepping up to bat to make the album better overall.

Jamphibious Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Been a bit out of the musical loop these days, but I wanna get back into the swing of things. There's some cool music here, I'd like to try my hand at the Ancient Cave Battle if I'm able to claim it! Gario 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Man, a LOT of the Lufia 1 additions from the DS game being gobbled up, here. Good thing, too, since those are some of the better tracks on the DS! All yours, Amphibious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
