Arrangement Project (Dragon Quest IX)

[pumpy_heart]

Yep. They're being worked on as soon as I finish this paper for 20th Cent.
All of the stuff in my list will be. Then it's onto game composition on the realz.

I could take Omen of Towering Death.

Bump!
This should not be allowed to die!  I don't care that all NSM projects seem to be fated to do so!  I've never even played DQIX, but TZP275 to the rescue as he snatches Come to Our Town from the jaws of death!
Get it going K-NiGhT!

[Zunawe]

I'm pretty sure some people are just silently working on this. . . I think. I've put my arranging on hold for a while, but I should have Omen done pretty soon after I restart.

[Mayor Duffy]

You said someone make an entire medley of these songs, does that mean a medley with EVERY song in it??

[Shadoninja]

I've been hesitant to arrange anything from this lately since there's an official piano score. I think I'm going to have to drop out of DQIX.

[K-NiGhT]

There's a piano score now? Links plz.

If there is, then because of copyright things, I suppose we'll have to drop out of DQIX and move on to something else more well known that people will want to do.

Should we take down all the Pokémon RBY arrangements because there's an out-of-print official piano book for it? Of course not.
Should we tell Ganondorf to stop arranging Kingdom Hearts stuff because there are official piano books for the series? Of course not.

As long as you don't copy from the official version, making your own transcription is fine, which is best done by not looking at the official version at all for ideas.

[pumpy_heart]

Oh, there is Shado? Yeah, I'm out too. That kills motivation for these things. As a game composer, I'd want that book to make as much money as possible so maybe someday I can make money too.

[K-NiGhT]

Well then, let's drop dqix and find a different game to do. any ideas?

[EFitTrainr]

Mother 3!!!

[pumpy_heart]

Mother 3 also has a piano book.

[Zunawe]

Aren't most of the good soundtracks going to have a piano book? It's not like we can't do something just because of that.

[pumpy_heart]

You guys go right ahead. I don't want to speak for Shado, but I'm not going to be involved in Mother 3 because it has a piano book. Seems like the same reason Shado dropped IX.

Contra had 0 arrangements on the web that I could find, so I did that entire soundtrack almost 2 years ago now. Choose something like that.

BUMP. I drop IX too, but not because of the official book, it's just that I don't really care about it (never liked Dragon Quest really).
If we're going to start a new project, I think a poll with various options would be nice.
