Fire Emblem 35th Anniversary: Recruiting!

[CNDR]

Hey everyone! My vision for this album is similar to the 25th anniversary one that never made it to fruition: at least one track representing each mainline title in the Fire Emblem series. Ideally we could finish it before the end of 2024 and release it as a full, official OCR album in April 2025, to coincide with the 35th anniversary of the original Japanese release of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light.

I don't want to put any genre restrictions on people, although I do recommend people listen to a few of the official albums (Premium Arrange, Premium Arrange II and Cipher Caravan are all fantastic) if they're worried about sounding like something that's already been done before.

Currently looking for:

• Remixers and performers
• a co-director, ideally someone who's helped organize a previous OCR album
• Artists
• Sound engineer/mixing and mastering
• someone to code the website

If there's a specific song you want to call dibs on now, go for it! While the goal is to have every mainline game represented at least once, spinoff titles like Heroes and Tokyo Mirage Sessions are totally fair game as well.

Is this still going on? I'd like to call dibs on "Chaos" from Awakening, but if I have to take a game that hasn't been claimed yet, then I'll do "Dawn Brigade" from Radiant Dawn.

I've actually been working on a Bloom in the Breeze remix (and am close to finishing it), so I'd be happy to contribute to this if it's still possible

Still ongoing! We're looking to get as many games covered as possible, so Dawn Brigade would be perfect.

Cool cool
I'm not really familiar with Engage's music myself, so it'd be great to have you take that one on.

We're doing pretty much all the project discussion through the Discord server, if you want to join ?

The discord link seems to have expired, but I'd join if I could get a new one

Hi, I'm in a bit of a creative rut and looking for a way out. While my only experience with Fire Emblem is playing Three Houses and a RP server I'm in, I think I could provide an interesting remix for this album. I have a unique style and make electronic music (hard to classify) using Musescore and FL Studio Free Edition. I've been kicked off a few albums already for quality reasons (namely at Pixel Mixers) but I've been steadily improving my craft. I'll take one of the games nobody's claimed yet. 

Like I said, I don't have much experience with Fire Emblem in general but think that only makes it a better challenge. I might need to a list of significant tracks for one of the unclaimed games but I'd like to join this project.
