Happy birthday OCR! And 13, too? Man, now I've got to listen to Cosmo Canyon remixes to mark the occasion...

Received my digital rewards. Glad to FINALLY have a full copy of the SMB soundtrack. Also, with Antigravity plus the Zircon Kickstarter I backed, I have a pretty full collection of his music now. Thanks, guys. This will keep my audiophile impulses sated until the preview drops. Damn, can't wait to see what kind of stuff is in store.

Alright, so glad to see that the Kickstarter did so well! But I've got a few questions, you guys. 1.) Will Hurricane Sandy delay any of this, if so, can we get a rough estimate of how long? I read on your Facebook post that OCRHQ was in the storm's path, so I hope you guys didn't suffer too much damage. 2.) When can we expect the digital rewards? Once again, WHOO THIS MADE IT! It was a rough road, but the project made it through. Can't wait to see what the end result looks like.

Brandon, given the incredible amount of time and effort it no doubt takes to make these tracks, I completely understand, man. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOMEONE PLEASE PICK UP ETERNITY. It is comedically hair-metal as hell. Damn, times like these I wish I was musically learned/gifted. XP Still looking forward to this, regardless, guys.

So, not only did I decide to pledge 50$ again, I UPPED THE ANTE. I pledged... ... ... ... $50.01! Okay, okay, so I used the wrong credit card and I changed my pledge by a cent to correct it. So what. Good luck, guys, hoping this one exceeds the last one.

I bet they only agreed to let you put up a new Kickstarter in return for the thing lawyers value most: hugs. Seriously, though, I'm happy that Squeenix was reasonable here. Renewed my faith in them just a bit. I'll be keeping an eye out for the new KickStarter, but with college starting up, well... I'll try to shell out the same pledge as last time. Though, if I had the chance, I'd double the damn thing. Great news to hear, guys.

"OCRemix: Proudly operating on Valve-Time." All kidding aside, looking forward to the hopefully soon-ish update on the situation, guys.

Welp, suspected as much. Personally, I'm going to refrain from joining in on the Squeenix hate until this is resolved, mostly because THAT is what will affect how I view them. I mean, it's reasonable enough that they have to step in. Regardless of how they did it, OCR was using the Final Fantasy IP as part as their fundraiser, AND they were distributing physical copies of the album, even IF it was just a reward for donating and not technically "selling" them. If SE didn't step in on this, it'd have set a bad precedent if, later down the line, someone who ISN'T a not-for-profit group like OCR tried to do the same thing. Hopefully SquareEnix realizes that this money was not raised to line someone's pocket, but was raised to back a site that helps keep nostalgia and love for the games they made alive and fresh. If that involves them getting a small cut for the use of the "Final Fantasy" name, so be it. As long as they work to let the Kickstater go through and treat OCR fairly, I'll have no complaint. Best of luck, guys, I'll be keeping an eye on this to see how it goes.

I'm glad you guys are still looking into it and I'm still hoping for the best resolution, but this whole experience will still leave me jaded of Kickstarter. I'd think if they cancel a project for any reason an email to the backers should be sent giving at least a general reason for why. Depending on how they handle communication with you guys I'll seriously be tempted to avoid them from now on, which would be a major shame, as I've been helping back the Nobuwoo music bundle projects and have been seriously enjoying that. Here's hoping you get this hammered out soon. I dunno if I said it already, but if this DOES fall through I'm making a sizable donation to OCR anyways. The big reason I chipped in was just to pay you guys back for all the music, anyways.

I think the thing that has me most on edge is the lack of response from those in charge. I mean, I don't expect to get to know EXACTLY what's going on, but it'd be nice to at least get an inkling of how serious it is. Is this a "Just sit tight, it'll all be fine" issue or a "Petition Square-Enix" issue? I was really pumped for this thing. That aside, if it IS a copyright issue, I know that I'd donate fifty bucks to a "Help OCremix obtain the legal rights to use the soundtrack of FFVI" Kickstarter.

Ooooh, shit, it's gone. Goddammit, it better not have gotten sniped by the Squeenix Lawyer Ninjas. I was seriously looking forward to getting that album. If Mega-Ran can sell his album why can't OCremix do a Kickstarter for one that, regardless of what happens, will be released anyways?

Better yet, buy out a Taco Bell for a day, hold an OCRemix Con.

Holy crap, it's over 500% funded. I wouldn't be surprised if this breaks 100K.

So, yeah. I just chipped in 50 bucks to the Kickstarter, can't wait to see the album. Not only do I love FFVI, but I see this as a way to pay you guys for the FFIV and Badass albums. Can't wait to get a sneak peek come December or whatever!

Eh? You're doing suggestions now? I'm pretty sure this one's a boss theme. If not, this game had other killer fight tracks... Best of luck with the project, I still check in on this every month or so since I loved the first one so much.
