Ninja Editors. Those other two suck.

[FatalEnergy]

Sector 7 Slums blows, but yours are the polar opposites of profoundness and wit.


Seriously, there's so many better names that you could get out of FFVII rather then Sector 7 Slums

In fact I stole the name Final Heaven for a song that I started writing :cool:

[MAthiAS]

I borrow loads of ideas and inspiration from FF and FF music. Nerdy? Yeah, but genius is genius in any form. Eventually video games will be looked at as a form of literature.

I think we should have a recall poll to take out Sector 7 Slums.

Oh yes the FF music is superb, I've always wanted to do a cover of the FFVII boss battle music. Total Speed Metal. :D

I <3 FF music and The Black Mages. Nobuo is amazing, no question. I've been listening to it a lot recently, especially TBM's version of "J-E-N-O-V-A"... damn I love that song.

[FatalEnergy]

I've heard some orchestrated versions of One Winged Angel and a few others, they are truly amazing

[Spectrum]

Genius. Pure genius. I'm tellin' ya.

/everyone in thread already agrees

So do I.:thumb:

Theres just something about the music, its got so many good ideas the way its structured. I try to incorporate it into my own phrasing.:thumb:

[Pop music sucks]

I set up the FFVII PC a few days ago.

Although, I really really need to get a PC PS controller, cause the keyboard sucks. I'm so used to using the PS controller.

Lionheart, are you using any PS PC controllers, and if so, what is it?

[crag]

does anyone know when FFXII is released in UK?

[Jimothy the 33rd]

I <3 FF music and The Black Mages. Nobuo is amazing, no question. I've been listening to it a lot recently, especially TBM's version of "J-E-N-O-V-A"... damn I love that song.
I do too. It's just amazing. Happy has the cd.
Nobou pwns. how can anyone not love the music?
ya just have to chant along with J-E-N-O-V-A

[fatbandit]

Can anybody send me versions of a few Black Mages songs by any chance?

I'm not fussed about videos, but audio would be cool :)

(J-E-N-O-V-A and Still More Fighting would be especially appreciated)

And what's the link to the FF piano music CDs again? :/ I feel silly asking after its been posted so many times...


:smash:

X was brilliant, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only fan of the junction system in VIII

http://www.ffdream.com/?cat=downld&rub=musiques

you can get all the FF music there and the 2 black mages cds there aswell.

I thought the junction system was awesome, just kinda confusing for me at first. I was like: "WTF are GF's? You equip them?"

[Happy]

I do too. It's just amazing. Happy has the cd.
Nobou pwns. how can anyone not love the music?

Yeah I promise I'll copy them one day.

[MAthiAS]

So I had to restart my Solo Samurai in Tactics. Now I'm power leveling Delita in the first battle. Cheapness ++

[Chrysostom]

Are you sure? :|

From all the videos or screenshots I've seen they seem pretty unfuturistic, although my memory might be a bit shoddy.

/looks back over old trailers of XII

Probably I'm wrong then. In fact I'm sure I am.

I'm honored. :)

X was brilliant, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only fan of the junction system in VIII

Yeah, both those battle systems in FFX and FFVIII were killer.

[MAthiAS]

Nobuo is my hero :)
Yeah really... just tabbed Sending a Dream into the Universe. Probably my favorite song of his.

[andyhainey]

as the options wither done to 3, i had to go for sector 7 slums :D

[Chrysostom]

Yeah, both those battle systems in FFX and FFVIII were killer.

I preferred the IX system. The fact that each character could only learn specific abilities was cool, and it made things nice and neat/easy.

[Lionheart1827]

Although, I really really need to get a PC PS controller, cause the keyboard sucks. I'm so used to using the PS controller.

Nope, I just use the keyboard, I never really had problems using it.:thumb:

Eh, I prefer the customization of a job system or materia, or even junctioning.

[Chrysostom]

Are the FF themes available on CD? And if so, I presume/hope they're done with full orchestras etc.

[FatalEnergy]

Yeah, they are not too easy to find anymore, especially if you're looking for the older games (VII, VIII) and such. Try www.amazon.com I think I saw them there before

[spitfirejunky]

Eh, I prefer the customization of a job system or materia, or even junctioning.

Likewise. I can't stand static configurations 'cause then I wouldn't be able to use my favorite characters if they didn't fit an ideal strategy.

[Liberi Fatali]

I notice you guys talk a lot about tabbing Final Fantasy and Nobuo's work. A good site for FF sheet music (for a vast range of instruments) is http://www.nobuouematsu.com/sheet2.html. The site also has a ton of great stuff for Nobuo fanboy's like myself. :cool:

[MAthiAS]

Yeah, I've got that link. Don't use it much, prefer doing it by ear. But I'll use the piano stuff eventually.

Me too. I love to be able to compeltely customize, and not being able to would drive me crazy.

[DeusExMachina]

Not being able to customize doesn't really bother me all that much.

Thanks for the link, Liberi!

[MAthiAS]

Not being able to customize doesn't really bother me all that much.
Well you're kind of bound by characters stats anyway, but I like to be able to change up strategies and whatnot, rather than just go Thievery, Shock, Flare, rinse and repeat. Makes it more fun for me, finding the most effective combos and stuff. Another killer thing about Tactics.

pretty good actually, I've got the first part of the glass prison sweeping solo down pretty well. (by first part I mean from the beginning to the six string sweep). I'm still having a little trouble on the rolling though.

I completely gave up on the hangar 18 sweeps, marty is a crazy bitch.

The intro sweeps?

[FlyingPaul_83]

The intro sweeps?

yes, the second solo I think.

[MAthiAS]

I didn't think there was a six string sweep in there. Maybe we're talking about different parts.

If you ever think sweeping is getting easy... get a tab for Serrana :upset:

wait what song are we talking about? TGP or hangar 18? My laat post was about hangar 18.

Yeah I'm talking about the first solo on TGP that JP alt picks.

I got a powertab for serrana :upset:

one day.......

[Spectrum]

Do you know what we should do? We should form a Black Mages tribute band amongst ourselves. Wouldn't that be great/hilarious/MXaiden is doing it? I could play keyboard #2, sometimes keyboard #1, depending on the song and amount of practice I get.

[Liberi Fatali]

:lol: I posted the same site a while back. When was that? I can't remember ever seeing you posting that, and anyway stuff is bound to appear more than once in a huge thread like this. But sorry anyway.

Anything you can do, Liberi can do better... You need to get over that. People said they liked my idea more at first, so I put it in the poll. Then they went back on it so I resuggested your idea, I wasn't trying to take your credit.

I posted it on page 200 :lol:

Its cool, I dont care, it probably needed to be brought up again anyway. The only reason I remember posting it is because Kingofdudes gave me rep :lol:

might aswell repost this link aswell:

[MAthiAS]

A cover band of a cover band? :p
I don't think it qualifies as a cover band if the composer performs with them bro.

[Spectrum]

I don't think it qualifies as a cover band if the composer performs with them bro.
Right. There really is no true classification for TBM - especially not cover band, because it is Nobuo's band - other than "Video Game" or "Game" or somesuch.

And we wouldn't be a cover band, we'd be a tribute band.

The best part, I'm actually half serious about it. It could be a lot of fun.

[Liberi Fatali]

I don't think it qualifies as a cover band if the composer performs with them bro. I think it is, they're playing the Final Fantasy originals in their own style with a different take on the music, and 5 out of the 6 guys aren't the composer. (Yes I realise he created the band but still)

I consider them to be a cover band, but really it doesn't matter what they are.

[MAthiAS]

I'd be down if I only got my PODxt... Usps will burn in hell.

Thread projects usually fail though lol. I'd actually rather cover any FF music and not restrict ourselves to ones that TBM have done, because I think the mellower/non rock based pieces are the best. Ie You're Not Alone, On the Other Side of the Mountain, Cosmo Canyon, etc.

[Spectrum]

That's the problem - having not played nearly enough FF, I am not familiar with most of the original material. :( I mostly only know TBM's versions.

[Liberi Fatali]

Download some of the original FF soundtracks then, even if you haven't played the games I'm sure you can dig it. You can get the music from http://www.ffdream.com (note: I'm not trying to take credit from whoever posted the link originally lol).

[MAthiAS]

Ah. I'm the opposite. I tab all the non TBM ones lol.

We gotta do J-E-N-O-V-A for sure though.

[Spectrum]

Thanks for the links, guys. However, I really have to watch out with that... the college has really strict policies about D/L'ing, and they are pretty good at catching you if you're not smart about it.

I'll have to find a nice and secure way to do it... good thing I know hackers.

And yes, yes we must do J-E-N-O-V-A. I love that song so much. I've tought myself pieces of both keyboard parts already (by ear).

[MAthiAS]

Yeah, if you can point me in the direction of a decent tab that'd be awesome. I'll check one out tomorrow, I'm out to play Tactics and sleep now.

Peace.

You have to register first before you are able to D/L, but once you do, it seems to be excellent stuff. I'm looking through "J-E-N-O-V-A" now, and it's looking high quality. It's straight from the freakin' book. It's perfect.

ninja EDIT: It's also not all there. It stops at page 13. It seems that our friend is still in the process of scanning/uploading things. Understandable, really. It's a long, slow job. I scanned in "The Real Folk Blues" from the Cowboy Bebop OST, and that took for-freakin'-ever to actually scan in and then fiddle with it so that it would fit into my Yahoo! mail. :P it was ended up being rather large even as a ZIP file.

I'll patiently wait for him to finish, and practice what I have.

second EDIT: I'm retarded. He clearly posted a second link next to the original one, containing the rest of the pages. Dammit, I've been having foot-in-mouth all day today. Anyway, "J-E-N-O-V-A", it's all there, all 233 measures of greatness, in proper book form, so I'm going to get to work on that very soon. Awesome.

[Lionheart1827]

I'd rock out some covers, if I ever have time.:thumb:

[Spectrum]

What do you play, Lionheart?

[DeusExMachina]

Lionheart plays guitar.

[Spectrum]

I figured as such. Do we have any drummers or bassists in here?

[DeusExMachina]

We do have bassists. And Vincent used to post in here, and he was a drummer. Other than that, I don't know about drummers. But Lionheart is pretty good with drum loops.

[Spectrum]

Man, I just realised that I downloaded all this great sheet music, but I have no cable to hook up my printer to my computer. I'll have to do that tomorrow, if the Campus Bookstore is open. If not, then I'll have a very hard time practicing until Monday, but then I have classes again and blah, blah, blah...

Meh. Time for bed.

[MBS]

Does anyone have the Kingdom Hearts soundtrack?

I know this is a FF thread and all, but since Square collaborated with Disney for that game, I was just wondering if any of you could YSI me the soundtrack, or the orchestral pieces of that game. It's a pretty good game. :)

[Pop music sucks]

Nope, I just use the keyboard, I never really had problems using it.:thumb:Okay. I gotta rind the right keyboard setup.

What's yours?

[Lionheart1827]

Okay. I gotta rind the right keyboard setup.

What's yours?

hmm, its been a while, I used ZXCD for the buttons, AS were usualy start and select, and F was another. Thats my setup for roms on SNES as well.:thumb:

[Lionheart1827]

You guys want to start throwing some ideas around? I saw Deus mention that I'm good with drum loops, but its tough when theres a lot of time changes, I can make some pretty basic drums for a song, it just takes a while.

I like playing guitar anyway.:thumb:

So, lets hear some ideas.:cool:

Although, with guitar, I like to do the more heavy and/or faster songs that can be easily complimented with blazing solos. I'm not the best doing clean guitar but i can do it. I know from reading above that Mathias likes the slow more tasteful songs.

Heres my soundclick if you want to hear some crap. Everything from 1776 and above is my newer stuff with my new equipment pretty much, and the ACOS solo is pretty poor compared to the way I play it now.

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=72251

So yeah, ideas, NOW(or tomarrow).:thumb:

[Brew]

I play bass :)

Edit:

[FlyingPaul_83]

Yes you can get the Kingdom hearts soundtrack from FF dream.

[Brew]

But its good techno :)

[red barchetta]

the Advent childen version of JENOVA is also techno but its still good too

[Spectrum]

So, I'm a keyboardist, Brum's bassist, Lionheart, MAthiAS and FlyingPaul are guitarists and Lionheart likes drum loops.

We need another keyboardist.

[Brew]

I can play basic chords on a keyboard.

[Happy]

I can play basic chords on a keyboard.
Yeah me too.

[Brew]

I was really pleased with myself when I learnt to play a chromatic scale in Music Tech the other week.

[crag]

I can play basic chords on a keyboard.
i can play the intro to Hallowed Be Thy Name on keyboard

/pointless information:upset:

Cool.

I'm going off to print "J-E-N-O-V-A" now.

EDIT: I now possess the sheet music. I feel awesome.

[DeusExMachina]

I play keys. I also play cello. And guitar, but I'm sure that talent will not be needed.

[Spectrum]

/^privately already knows this

Cool, looks like our inevitable train wreck is starting to pick up steam!

/wishes that it would work

[FlyingPaul_83]

Yeah really... just tabbed Sending a Dream into the Universe. Probably my favorite song of his.


:eek:

you should send me your tab :D

EDIT: Is anyone elses video of the FFVI battle theme messed up?

Mine keeps flashing a green screen and goes crazy :(.

Can someone send me their version if your version isn't messed up either. (terrible grammar in that sentence)

[MAthiAS]

:eek:

you should send me your tab :D
Not on the comp =/

And so you know, I have no idea what the chords in the beginning are, cept the first one. I looked at the sheet music and I think its actually impossible to play on guitar... or at least I couldn't get it to sound right.

[Spectrum]

Apparently, if our TBM covering sort-of-band that sort-of-exists were to try and practice, I guess we'd need Yahoo! Messenger. I'll look into this and see what I find out.

I take things way too seriously.

[Liberi Fatali]

Looks like Sector 7 Slums is the winner. :-/

Edit: But then again half the people that voted for the Sector 7 Slums appear to have never posted in here before. :-/ Bloody nubs.

Edit: But then again half the people that voted for the Sector 7 Slums appear to have never posted in here before. :-/ Bloody nubs.
If we get like, 10 regulars to say they do not want Sector 7 Slums can we take it out?

And then have a poll where posts in these threads = power of your vote :D

[Shadows]

We should make a Final Fantasy Parliament, consisting of the ten regulars here with the most posts.

Then we hold another vote where the Parliament decides. It's like our own small republic.

[MAthiAS]

Word. Vincent doesn't post here anymore, someone would have to take his spot.

[Shadows]

We'll just skip him and go down to -Listy-.

Except I don't think He posts here anymore either. We'd have to choose the top 10 by going down the list of posts in the thread and deciding who is actually still a regular here.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I do not want Sector 7 slums as the Thread name (even though I suggested it :lol:)

theres one, unless I'm not known as a regular :(

[Liberi Fatali]

Well for now I'm going to exclude all votes that came from people with 1 or 2 posts in this thread.

[MAthiAS]

Yeah course you are man.

I say down with Sector 7 Slums as well.

I think Listy shows up sometimes here. AJIG doesn't come here much anymore, I think hes number 10 in posts.

[Spectrum]

AJIG used to be a major force in this thread... at least, that's what I remember.

I only showed back up again recently. Of the three options on the poll, I'd say I like Sector 7 Slums least of all. Down with it.

[FlyingPaul_83]

AJIG and Listy used to post in here all the time.........until they both got FFXI.
Then they ditched us. :(

Liberi can you link me to your nobuo's stalker avatar?

Least you've played the best one. Though you should check out VI, VII, and VIII sometime.

[Spectrum]

Yeah, I've heard that VI, VII, and VIII are the best of the numbered lot. And Tactics has an awesome plot so far. Game play is top-notch too. I <3 random encounters. I <3 them so much.

[infinate_ammo]

you should really play FFVIII. It has the best music.


There were so many times when I would just leave that game running and crank up the speakers, loved the music in that game. I am obsessed with that scene where they go over to battle at dollet and it starts with the heartbeat and shows the moons reflection on the water. Really makes you feel like you are going to war.

[FatalEnergy]

For some reason I wasn't a big fan of VIII, mabye it was because it came after VII and I didn't think anything could ever beat VII.....wait, I still think that. Oh well, I dig FFIX though

my favourite music is still the edea theme/liberi fatali (sp?)
you know when she crashes through the window in the ceiling
I was like :eek:

I think Ima listen to it now

oh and the aeris theme beautiful too

[Pop music sucks]

Oh god I can't wait until the FFVII soundtrack comes in.

85 songs!

[Liberi Fatali]

my favourite music is still the edea theme/liberi fatali (sp?)
you know when she crashes through the window in the ceiling
I was like :eek:

Liberi Fatali is a great song, but are you sure you're thinking of it? Is it also the song that is also in the intro movie of VIII, or is it slightly different?

There is another song called Fithos Lusec Vinosec that is similar to Liberi fatali in that it has that same repeating chorus, just darker and more dramatic.

[infinate_ammo]

It's the intro isn't it? High chance I am wrong but that's what I thought it was, great song.

[Liberi Fatali]

I can't really remember, the two songs that stick out in my mind with Edea were Fithos Lusec Vinosec and Liberi Fatali. I just thought that seeing as he didn't mention the intro music (Liberi Fatali) then he is probably thinking of Fithos Lusec Vinosec.

Thats a shame, sorry to hear that. Im getting to the stage now where evenings and weekends are FF11 time, and when evenings start getting taken up more from overtime, it'll probably just be weekends. So ill slow down a lot

[Otherside]

I really want to return to FFXI, but I still don't have time :'(

Stupid college classes :\

[Arcarsenal Ghost]

Wtf? All these rpg noobs saying 7 was the best; no, bitches, it wasn't. Too many loose ends at the end of the game.

Sephiroth was a little bitch; the only cool thing about him was how he looked, but other than that, he was a crap character.

[-Listy-]

/me quit FFXI

Why have you stopped playing anyway? Never got to pt or anything.
Im happy I got Samurai job today :)

And Arca if im an 'rpg noob' because i like 7 the most then so be it, thats your opinion.

[red barchetta]

If we get like, 10 regulars to say they do not want Sector 7 Slums can we take it out?

And then have a poll where posts in these threads = power of your vote :D
i dont want Sector 7 Slums :)

EDIT: happy MX birthday to me :D

me neither.

lets call it the phantom train or something haha or the ff airship.:thumb:

[Arcarsenal Ghost]

I'm not saying it wasn't solid, but seriously, for all the praise it gets, you'd think that the whole story would get wrapped up at the end.

Anyhow, did you guys like Advent Children?
I liked the fight scenes, but the story with Kadaj and stuff was too...random.

I disagree. I'd like to think I'm not an RPG noob, but I think 7 is the best along with 6. Sephiroth was a great character. He had a lot of depth to him, thanks to his comprehensive past with Cloud and his own creation. The way his ideas gradually unfolded as the game progressed was excellent. I agree about the loose ends at the end of the game, there were just too many unanswered questions. But aside from that, the storyline and gameplay make it one of the best.

You make my day.

I just realized something (other than that I'm one-track-minded). If our little Nobuo Fanboy Internet Band is to actually do stuff, we might want a name or something. I mean, MXaiden was pretty clever, but I don't think it'll work for us. The Black MXages.

...actually, it's not terrible.

Anyway, how would us wierdos go about collaborating on our project?

[MAthiAS]

YSI and internet forums, but of course.

Name:
The Ninja Editors.

Awesome suggestions.

[MAthiAS]

I seriously think The Ninja Editors is an awesome band name. I'm writing that one down.

[red barchetta]

its also the perfect thread title

[Spectrum]

The Ninja Editors is great, because it's so relevant. I mean, it's not terribly funny on it's own, but in the context of a)this thread b)this thread's band project c)I just ninja edited my last post.

That name gets my vote.

MAthiAS, do you have anything like AIM or Yahoo! or the like?

edit: the above sentence is a ninja edit :cool: and this one as well... er, not anymore

[Otherside]

Lionheart and Otherside, what's yous guys' majors?

I'm taking college courses in highschool actually, which means I actually have less time than if I were actually in college :( Not to mention that I'll be getting a part time job soon...

[Liberi Fatali]

Well if more regulars veto the Sector 7 Slums then I guess I'll do a repoll.

[Spectrum]

I hope more members veto it. Because Democracy rocks my socks off.

/now sports new user title. representin', yo.

Can I be this Ninja band's groupie? I don't have any STDs.

Sure, welcome aboard.

oh yeah! I feel so honoured.

We've been through this already. It's not a democracy, it's a republic!

I cool with the "down with Sector 7" thing. :cool:

[Spectrum]

Ah... I see. A republic is probably better, anyway.

Down with Sector 7

[FlyingPaul_83]

There were so many times when I would just leave that game running and crank up the speakers, loved the music in that game. I am obsessed with that scene where they go over to battle at dollet and it starts with the heartbeat and shows the moons reflection on the water. Really makes you feel like you are going to war.


The landing? I would always just stand on the world map to listen to blue fields, love that song so much.

one of my favorite songs At the moment is Only A Plank Between One And Perdition. That would be an awesome song to cover :thumb:

When is Only A Plank Between One And Perdition played during FFVIII, I cant remeber :(?

oh and I love that Ninja editors band name idea.

[infinate_ammo]

Why does everyone hate the name Sector 7 Slums?

[Spectrum]

EDIT: happy MX birthday to me :D
Oh, yeah, happy MX birthday, mate.

I think that all of us that are interested in the band project (The Ninja Editors) should do as the FFXI guys did and create a seperate thread. Then you won't have one from me about it every other post. :p

I'll post the link when I'm done.

[infinate_ammo]

Whats the band project?

[Spectrum]

Various members of this thread that happen to be fanboys of Nobuo Uematsu and The Black Mages (including myself) are trying to do covers of music from Final Fantasy, either in the style of the original works or the Black Mages renditions.

Link: The Ninja Editors (http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=10239345#post10239345)

[infinate_ammo]

like proper meeting up or just recordings over the internet?

[Spectrum]

Well, proper meetings would be perfect, and I really wish we could, but at this point, it's just over the internet.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Sounds fun Mike. Ill keep my eye on this idea indeed

[Spectrum]

Thanks, Ben :D

I've added the band lineup, so anyone that was left out or any wrong information, please post it in the thread and I'll fix it.

I think it's in Galbadia prison.

I think it's in Galbadia prison.

It plays in a lot of spots. Its kind of like the "RUN!" themes in the FF games, only a little slower paced.

To Mathias - I was gonna be majoring computer science, a very nice major, however, calculus just raped the hell out of me, i failed the first test with an 18, and i def failed the 2nd. My prof said that it would be almost impossible for me to make a comeback, so i dropped the class just in time instead of taking an F. Now im at a crossroad, i dont know whether to take calc again, or change my major to CIS(computer information systems). I have to make a decision though because my dad is paying for my college.:upset:

to spectrum guitarist - democracy rocks my boxers into another dimension.:thumb:

Hey, Lionheart, I'm actually taking Calculus right now, and if you wanted, I could help you out in that class if you take it again. What tripped you up? Limits?

ermmm... FF rocks (obligatory)

Thanks but I really need like hands on person to person help. I needed help on everything from limits to derivatives(that was as far as we got basically). The thing was, I understood the basic stuff like for example, the derivative of x^2 = 2x(ive known this since I was about 4 years old), but once they start getting into the HUGE problems where its like polynomials with powers inside parenthesis and friggin square roots divided by more polynomials, oh my god its a nightmare. I was so confused from the start. I dont even know if im gonna risk taking it again. thanks anyway.

to mathias - i go to St Josephs on Long Island, NY. Suffolk campus, its a nice small privatish school. its mostly a biology and child study school, so there are TONS of girls. the ratio is like 65:35 girls to boys.:thumb: No enormous stadium style classes either.:thumb:

[Spectrum]

Okay, Lionheart, good luck with your classes then.

[DeusExMachina]

I veto Sector 7 Slums.

Edit: Also, calculus is ridiculous. I'm in my second year, and we're working in three dimensions and with multiple variables. It makes baby jesus cry.

[Lionheart1827]

Okay, Lionheart, good luck with your classes then.

Thanks:thumb:

Yeah deus, if im stil going into computer science, id have to take calc 1 and 2, and then 2 others including linear algebra.:upset:

[Pop music sucks]

WOO!

FFVII soundtrack is in.

Although, the writing is in Japanese, so I can't tell exactly what the track name is.

It's the music where it shows Midgar and then it zooms down to the train station where you encounter those two MPs.

[Happy]

Isn't that bombing mission or something?

[manuscriptreplica]

Opening: Bombing Misson.

great song. You can get the soundtrack off wikipedia.org.

The soundtrack list, that is

Now it sounds like the Shinra Building.

You know about FF dream right? It's got all the FF musics on it.

[Timm]

Liberi Fatali is a great song, but are you sure you're thinking of it? Is it also the song that is also in the intro movie of VIII, or is it slightly different?

it's been some time since I played the game :p
you're right but I was thinking of the actual liberi fatali

the music when you fight edea is Fithos Lusec Vinosec
got some stuff mixed up

[Spectrum]

get the ff concert 2022020 (or something like that) cds. it has both of them, plus more tunes done by a proper orchestra

[Chrysostom]

Sweet as ****. I just found that amazon do the FF7 and FF8 soundtracks. Santa will be bringing me them then. It sucks that they don't do FF9 though. The music during the intro is sweet.

Yeah, I remember back when I bought the albums years ago, for like 45 a peice from an import site, amazon didnt even have them. Now it looks like the 3rd party amazon shops do under the used and new section. Good find.:thumb:

Just make sure you're not buying the korean pirated copies, those are all over ebay. :thumb:

Thanks a bunch, mate. I'm on that right away.

Proper title on the website is "20020220 Music from Final Fatasy", so you were close enough.

[DeusExMachina]

Orchestra = heart. I wanted to arrange some stuff for a full orchestra, but since I'm lame and not talented enough to write for instruments that I don't understand (trumpet, french horn, etc.) I just wrote for a string quartet instead.

[Spectrum]

I <3 String Quartet music. I really wish to one day write for full orchestra, but I'm at the same point as you are.

[-Listy-]

I heard there is an album of an orchestra doing FF covers, anyone heard of it?

[manuscriptreplica]

That ffdream.com is the best site ever.

Playing FF8 atm... the start is so tedious and boring! I'm going for a stat maxing game as well, so I have to keep my levels low as well, which means my magic's low, so drawing spells takes forever!

[Happy]

I heard there is an album of an orchestra doing FF covers, anyone heard of it?
Uhh I didn't hear there was a whole album but I have a few orchestrated FF tracks.

No it isn't. It's French.

And yes the start is boring. Quistis got right up my arse with all her "Before we go any further, let me tell you about the junction system..." NO. I already know about it.

That was the beauty of FFIX. There was no compulsory trainign section. The bit with the moogles could be bypassed.

[Happy]

Just press triangle in the Tutorials and skip it.

[Chrysostom]

Just press triangle in the Tutorials and skip it.

I do, but the point is I shouldn't have to. Instructions is what the manuals are for.

[fatbandit]

I find practical tutorials explain much better than manuals.

Skipping them isn't a huge problem.

:smash:

[Happy]

Yeah Exactly. And some people are to stupid to think there's instructions in The Manual.

[red barchetta]

the reason why there wasnt many tutorials in 9 is because the system in 9 wasnt as complex as the junction system in 8. and dont tell me you didnt find junctioning complicating as a n00b.

[Happy]

Yes I did. I couldn't figure it out fully for like a year.

[red barchetta]

exactly :)

[Happy]

Doesn't mean they weren't annoying though.

[red barchetta]

but its better than not knowing wtf to do for the entire game

[Happy]

I was 9 when I first played it, even after reading it, I still didn't get it that well :(

[fatbandit]

I still don't understand all the nuances of the Junction system.

Materia FTW.

:smash:

no, from 5 or tactics.

Nopes, Materia > Jobs IMO.

Though jobs were entertaining for a while.

4 red mages :cool:

:smash:

[Adam Jones is GOD]

job system > materia

11 job system > Any other :p

Materia was cool though, like recieving a present for your good play.

"Happy Birthday son!"
"Ahhh, Ultima materia, you shouldn't have mom"

[andyhainey]

i just usually put up with it

[spitfirejunky]

11 job system > Any other :p

Materia was cool though, like recieving a present for your good play.

"Happy Birthday son!"
"Ahhh, Ultima materia, you shouldn't have mom"

The XI job system was awesome. Some of my most enjoyable MMORPG moments ever were my Thief/Ninja days doing the Genkai quests.

The skill chain combos I ripped with one of my fellow static Samurai partners were hilariously powerful.

The second most popular is Black Mages, sure, but... As we saw with Sector 7... Popular = bad, therefore, Ninja Editors it is :)

Logical.

:smash:

[kamiccollo]

go for sector 7 slums the reason its so popular is that most peolple loved FF7- amazing game when it came out and can relate to it. If I saw ninja editors id think to myself WTF? now thats logical.

[Brew]

Eh, Ninja Editors would make me post in here less.

[Timm]

I think sector 7 slums is the best from that list
would have been better to put something up with chocobo ______ because chocobos are in every game as far as I know
