Lufia II: Of Gods and Men

[Sil]

Is it too late for me to "upgrade" my track? I've made significant improvements in both the arrangement and sample quality, so it would definitely be worth it.

Go for it!

With Golden Sun out of the way, it's Badass 4, Lufia 2, & FF3.... hoping we can get the last mile on this one, will be talking w/ @Gario

So, Badass 4 came out. Are we still on track to be next?

I think FF3 is actually further along, because @Rexy has been a bit more available - @Gario was supposed to be coordinating Lufia 2 but I haven't seen him around much. We'll def. regroup in the new year & figure something out.

Have we heard anything from Gario?

Hello, mostly dealing with a mental breakdown with mounting pressures of work and... well, bullshit, all through last year. I'm trying to ease back into the swing of things but it takes time. Sorry that the progress of an album relies on the back of someone who is, let's just say, mentally exhausted.

The Lufia album is something I need a lot of mental energy to work through, which I've been recovering slowly but surely. Not that fair to most of the good folk who worked on it, but I'm only human at the end of the day.

... also, is this the first time I posted in the public forums in a year? Sheesh, things must've been rough.

Thanks for the update, and no worries. Focus on healing and recovering, the album can wait a while longer

One-hundred percent acceptable. I am far more familiar than I care to be with how damaging mental and emotional stress can be. As eager as I am to see the album released, I'm not eager enough to forget the way that feels. Take your time. Gather your spoons. Ask for help when/if you need it.

Still really looking forward to this - I check every month!

Any updates?

I'm working on finishing the last track, then I'll be trying to send it back to staff.

I am working on this pretty actively, atm, so I'm hoping I'm able to get this out soon. Looking forward to providing the update when I get this back to staff.

[Abadoss]

How are things going?

[Atomicfog]

Hope you're doing well Gario!  Also, I hope that this comes out eventually haha -- Lufia 2 had one of the best RPG soundtracks around. I'd love to replay the game eventually too.

[Ivaer]

Still following this! Loved this game ever since I played it and its predecessor as a kid! I'm sending you good thoughts, Gario!

How you holding up Gario?

[Gario]

Doing swell, @Abadoss, plan on getting this back to staff sometime early October.

Just have a few small touches and then this should be on it's way

Great news! Would be great to (finally) see this album out!

[Fredzilla]

Been looking forward to this from the very beginning, excited!

The front page is up to date, though if you are interested you will need to provide something quickly. While there is no schedule posted, the time allotted to submitting a finished product will be limited.

I don't discourage you from trying, but there's likely little time to submit something, so heads up.

Yeah I'm kinda wondering too... This seems to have been a bit in a limbo, but is there any way to possibly get in on this bandwagon at this late stage? Lufia 2 is one of my faves from the SNES lineage of rpgs...would be a shame to miss out on the opportunity.

If you two can quickly pop something out fully finished, I'd certainly encourage it. As long as it doesn't put any more pressure on Gario and/or delay things further.

(For the record, I have no control in any of this. I would just cheer you on if you can do it.)

I managed to get something done, so let's hope we can get it on in.

[Abadoss]

@Gario, just checking in. How's it going?

[TimComposer]

Hello everyone! About 6 months ago, I asked if there was still time to work on a music track, but unfortunately, the answer I received wasn't clear. I'm hoping someone could help me figure out how much time I have left, so I can plan accordingly and create a track that I'll be proud of. I don't need a lot of time, but I would hate to miss an opportunity due to a lack of time. Thank you in advance for any insights you can offer!
