GFF Soundtrack - General Game Music

I think this is a good idea, but the existence of the other gaming forums kinds of throws things off. So here's my proposal:

we put, on this album, the rarest shit we have on it and still make it sound good. If we keep it to relatively unknown stuff like the tracks that appear in the SOTW we can make it stand out above the other gaming CDs.

How ya doing, buddy?

Essentially, yes.

Personally, I think it's a good general idea to follow, but not absolutely necessary. If one or two tracks from an obscure Nintendo game make it I don't think anyone is going to cry about it.

Double Post:
Just for comparison, here's the last ST's tracklist:

Burai Prototype - Isshuku Sokuhatsu!
Breath of Fire IV - Opening
Beyond Good and Evil - Home Sweet Home
Robo Aleste - Final Battle
Katamari Damacy - The Moon and the Prince
Dune Spice Opera - Wake Up
Call of Duty - Call of Duty
Phantasy Star Online - Tricktrack Part 2
Megaman 3 - Snakeman
Mario & Zelda Big Band Live - Super Mario 64 Opening & Stage 1 Theme
Guilty Gear Isuka - The Cat Attached To The Rust
Uncharted Waters II - Dance on a Cape of Good Hope
Metal Slug 5 - Windy Day
Chrono Trigger - Last Battle
Secret of Evermore - Variations Of Castle
Ace Combat 5 - Razgriz / The Warsaw Philharmonic

Treasure Master - Title
Grand Turismo 2 - Moon Over the Castle
MechWarrior 2 - Background Music 1
GötzenDiener - Graveyard Labyrinth
Ratchet & Clank Going Commando - Distribution Facility ~Planet Smolg~
The Sword of Xuan Yuan - Story 31
Unreal Tournament 2004 - Hyperblast Redux
Sonic Adventure REMIX - Unknown
Zuntata - Daddy Mulk
Megaman 2 - Bubbleman Stage
Klonoa 2 - Stepping Wind
Ys IV - Walking the Path of Legend
Wild Arms Alter Code F - War Demon
Spin Jam - In-game Music 1
Neorude 2 - Tomorrow of Promise (Last Battle)
-Aka- - To the West
Simcity 4 - Oasis

From what I remember, this list is basically a mix of SOTW winners (including all of week 3), favorites from various VGM contests, tracks various regulars nominated, along with a couple of random stuff I threw on to make it more complete.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I honestly doubt the PC Games soundtrack will have any h-games on it; besides, they are much more fitting on our CD than theirs. We could always ask them to not use any so we could put them on ours.

On a similar note, I think Heroes of Might and Magic 4 - Hope and Ace Combat 5 - Reprisal deserve space on our CD for their success in last year's BSE contest (along with a Simcity track of some kind) even though they are technically ineligible.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

From the PC gaming CD thread:

"#5: No obscure Japanese hentai dating sim thingies. While I realize some of the music is good, we want to keep an image of recognition."

I think that answers our H-game question. I would just like to add that if we do not have any H-game music on the CD I will be very disappointed.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Here's an idea: what if we made our entire CD H-game music? I think it'd be hilarious, especially since I'm sure we can find an hour of really good H-VGM.

I was speaking idiomatically.

My understanding is that "Wake Up" is the arranged version of the in-game theme "Map of Arrakis".

Anyway, I nominate:

Left Hand of Darkness :: Hiroki Kikuta :: 9 of 17 :: Sakura Relaxation Soundtrack
Rain Waltz :: Yoko Kanno :: 13 of 23 :: Napple Tale vol 1 Illustrated Guide to the Fairies
High-Tension Wire :: Hiroki Kikuta :: 8 of 20 :: Seiken Densetsu 3 Original Sound Version :: Disc 3 of 3

If you need uploads, just ask.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Actually, according to that then "Map of Arrakis" (Elorin's nomination) is eligible, as it's the actual in-game song. "Wake Up" (which appeared on the last GFFST) was the arranged theme from the bonus music CD that shipped with the game.

FELIPE NO
