*NO* Final Fantasy 8 & 10 "No Squaller for unClouded Minds"

[Liontamer]

From Dual Blade

This is a tribute to two of the best artists on OCRemix: mp and Eino Keskitalo. I've been a fan of OCRemix for about 15 years (thanks to Limewire). This was inspired by djpreztel's farewell post on November 4, 2023, "It's time - some would say past time - for OverClocked ReMix itself to be ReMixed".

Games & Sources:

Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy X, mp's Final Fantasy VIII Liberi Fatali Overhaul Liberi Fatali, and Eino Keskitalo's Final Fantasy X Katumus Lulus Theme Hopes Theme FF13.

Thanks for enjoying the site so long, and I appreciate the sentiment of putting this together.

Unfortunately, we don't accept traditional remixes where original music is extensively sampled, we're primarily about rearrangements.

Particularly the FFXIII stuff is just taking Eino's audio with no changes.

This track violates our Submission Standards:

Quote

2. Ownership
1. Your submission must be your own, original arrangement.

Quote

4. Arrangement
2. Your arrangement must be substantial and original.
Submissions must be different enough from the source material to clearly illustrate the contributions, modifications, and enhancements you have made. Acceptable arrangement often involves more than one of the following techniques:
Modifying the genre, chord progression, instrumentation, rhythms, dynamics, tempo, or overall composition of the source material
Adding original solos, transitions, harmonies, counter-melodies, lyrics, or vocals to the source material
Taking the original game audio and simply adding drum loops or using an existing MIDI file and assigning new instruments does not qualify as substantial or original arrangement.

Co-signing this. I appreciate that you felt inspired by djp's words, but I don't believe that's quite what he meant.

NO Override.
