3 hours and 21 seconds late!!! 

Lol jk. Update sounds freakin' awesome.

[spitllama]

Winter you're so sneaky- making an update behind everybody's back Thanks you two for your hard work!

[Spyro]

Oh, those look awesome!

*whistles*  Fingerz was busy.

Here's my comments on the sheets for Fingerz:

"Clock Tower" - you're missing the intro

"Jazzy Overworld" - good

"Jazzy Overworld (Duet)" - good

"Main Theme" - technically this song is called "Title," since the main theme is the regular Overworld theme, but the song itself looks great

"Overworld" - again, this is called "Main Theme," but it's not a huge deal; also, have you considered changing those 32nd notes to simple grace notes? It seems that that would make it a little easier on the eyes...otherwise, song looks good

All World themes look good. I find the duets to be kind of frivolous and unnecessary, but I suppose they are for far less advanced pianists? Also, the official names for the special worlds are "World S1" "World S2", etc. This would also clean up the page, making the worlds appear in chronological order.

"Staff Roll" - good

So let's see, we're still missing a lot of the soundtrack. This really helps the site get going on it though, nice job Fingerz.

The above post is the stuff we're supposed to talk about before an update gets posted...

And as far as I can tell, every time a "duet" arrangement comes along it's because the arranger doesn't know how to properly arrange the piece for single piano without losing major parts.

[SlowPokemon]

^ A) Fingerz last update was in April. He and Winter must have done this behind the scenes or something like that. Therefore, none of us critiqued it knowing that it was going on the site today.

B) Yes, I agree. All of the duets are unnecessary, but in this case he arranged all of them for solo piano and added a duet as well, which I found incredibly odd.

[FSM-Reapr]

For me, the ''Jazzy Overworld(duet)'' had the perfect timing.

[Winter]

The official names for the special worlds are "World S1" "World S2", etc. This would also clean up the page, making the worlds appear in chronological order.

Hm, I'll think about doing that. And regarding your comments on various sheets, I'll let Fingerz review his sheets. The intention was to get started on well needed games on the site. This update brings more benefit than harm.

I understand what you are saying about the duets, Kefka. No harm was done, however, and maybe someone will put them to good use! More importantly, we have them for solo piano also.
Just because I posted it does not mean that just these sheets are going to stay there forever, anyone may still critique the sheets and submit replacements.

Yep! I thought it was a great way to start off the great soundtrack for this game.

[KefkaticFanatic]

You shouldn't just bypass the standard submission process.  This makes it even worse than what we had before.

[Winter]

Technically that /would/ be what we had before.

You're acting like there was no reviewing of the sheets whatsoever. If you'd like, try running an update your way and see if anything ever makes it onto the site.

Yes, quality is better than quantity, but we can't have quality with no progress whatsoever xD

First one to find KefkaticFanatic happy with anything that happens to the site wins some NSM dollars.

Congratulations Fingerz! Keep up the hard work! =D
