Surprised that my nom didn't get any points, but then again I didn't get around to voting this week anyway. Rai was better when I initially heard it. I agree that it's lacking something, but I decided to nominate it regardless.

I don't mind that I didn't get my points in. I would have given 3 points to Suikoden, 2 to Waku Waku 7, and probably 1 to Claymore. Wouldn't have changed the standings.

Wow, I didn't even notice that. Is that the first time a nomination hasn't received any points?

(Sorry, I'm genuinely curious.)

In fact, I believe a Hamauzu arrange of the Chocobo theme was accepted as a nomination before.
This is relevant.

The "Chocobo's Happy Christmas" clause contends that arranged material is acceptable on a case-by-case basis. That is, if the source material is well-known, then it stands to reason that the essential melody of the arrangement will also be familiar, even if the precise instrumentation has changed; an obscure arrangement of "One-Winged Angel" will always sound like One-Winged Angel in some way.

So I'd say it's fair to strike half the Vielen Dank album, based upon the general familiarity of its source material. As much as I secretly love the discovery of loopholes (I got a Megaman tune through!), sometimes there's just a line drawn in the sand, and Square-Enix is a pretty big line.

The other half, all the original work, sure. I've never heard it. Pick the best and send it forth.

Nope, it's happened many a time before! In fact, the very first time was in Week 002, when Kalt Island from Golden Sun failed to place.

As for Hamauzu's Thank You, I agree with Crash. The Unlimited SaGa stuff might squeak in, but other than that stick to the original works.

Let me get back in this with a nomination.

Game: Tekken: Dark Resurrection
Song: Call of the Inferno
Note: Don't know the composer, but I have a nice extended version (over 3 minutes) if it follows the contest rules, I'll be happy to upload it.

So I take it we're looking at another delay this week?

THE POWER OF WATER May 6, 2008 03:11 PM
I guess Drakken just forgot to get the tracks done this week?

I AM ON IT

Drakken May 6, 2008 04:02 PM
Whoops. I blame the fact that this is finals week.
