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?

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.

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