FF Music Game

[Disco Potato]

I came up with this idea during class today (I was very bored :p), and it seems like it could be fun (or at least a little interesting). Basically, I post a midi, and you guess which Final Fantasy game it's from (without looking it up of course). If enough people want to participate I'll make this a full-fledged game. If you're interested, check out the info below and make a guess (I think this first one is pretty easy) :D

(if I'm breaking a rule of some sort or this has been done before please let me know :p)



--------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Fantasy Music Game!

General rules: See Procedure...you can join at any time (though it might be harder to get more points if you join later), and guess or not guess in whichever rounds you want (i.e. you don't have to participate in every round). You can only guess once per round (or you're disqualified for that round). And I can't really regulate this, but cheating's no fun, so don't do it :(. Cheating includes looking a song up, or making a guess, then changing your guess after looking at new guesses.

Procedure: I post a midi, you have 72 hours (3 days) to guess which game the song is from (ex. FF7). If you answer correctly, you get one point for the round. If you guess the correct game AND the correct title of the song*, you get 1.5 points (1 for the game, .5 bonus point for the title). However, you don't get any points for guessing the correct title but not the correct game ^^;. After 12 rounds (12 songs), the person or people with the most points gets a custom award from me (I don't make amazing graphics but I'm alright...if you'd like to make them I would appreciate help ^_^)

Hints: I've beaten FF7, 8, 10, and 10-2, and am currently playing 6, so I think most of the music will be from those games (I don't know a whole lot of songs from the other games and don't really have the time to go searching around :\). To avoid spoiling myself (it's happened before -_-), I won't be posting music from FF12.

I'll post the answers and scores of everyone who participates in this post :)

* I won't be too picky with the more ambiguous song titles (ex. I'd count 'Overworld [theme]' and 'World Map [theme]' as the same thing)

[Roto13]

Balamb Garden

Final Fantasy VIII

[Disco Potato]

Thanks roto! I'll continue this if one more person guesses (so there'll be some competition) :)

[Takara]

I'd guess, but I'm with Roto on this one. ;)

[rubah]

you might could say that it was called Ami, quistis's theme :p but I dunno why you would want to.

[Vivisteiner]

Awww, you shoulda played FF9 - that has the best FF music score ever.


Anyway, its definately Balamb Garden from FF8

[Cruise Control]

Yeah, definitely
Balamb Garden
FF8

[blackmage_nuke]

Balamb Garden as everyone else already mentioned

[Disco Potato]

I think I'll add the points in new posts as the topic moves along...the first post has enough info on it as it is :p

Anyways, yes, the song is Balamb Garden, from FF8 :). Didn't want to stump everyone the first round. The link to the next song is at the bottom (it's harder). Again, you're trying to guess the right FF game the song comes from, and if you're really good, the name of the song itself. Here are everyone's scores so far:

roto13-ness: 1 (.5 bonus)
Vivisteiner: 1 (.5 bonus)
Cruise Control: 1 (.5 bonus)
blackmage_nuke: 1 (.5 bonus)

Takara and rubah, I wasn't sure whether you were guessing or not, but just let me know if you were :).

Also, sorry for not mentioning this before but I forgot to clarify the deal with the bonus points: they start counting when you don't have the max number of possible points. Like say someone got the song right for this round, so they have 1 point and a .5 bonus. But the second round they either guess wrong or don't guess at all. They still have 1 point, but now it's possible to have 2 points, because 2 rounds have passed (1pt per round). Because the person guessed the song right the first round in addition to the right game, the bonus is added on, so the person now has 1.5 out of 2 points. Sorry for all the writing...hopefully that makes sense :p

[rubah]

ff6, blackjack?

I meant that Balamb Garden and Ami are pretty much the same song, and I guess you could call that a guess, but it probably wouldn't get any credit xD although apparently the song is labelled as both on the Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec album xD

[blackmage_nuke]

yes i'd also say Blackjack from VI

[Slothy]

Blackjack from FFVI for me as well.

[Sefie1999AD]

I'll also say Blackjack from FFVI.

[feioncastor]

It's definitely the music that plays when you fly Setzer's Ship in the WoB, which I'll assume is called Blackjack, because so many have guessed that and it makes sense given what I know of the ship.

[Zeromus_X]

Yes, it's the Blackjack from FFVI.

[Roto13]

No doubt about it. Blackjack, FF VI.

[Takara]

Yep, Blackjack, FFVI.

[Everit]

Blackjack, FF VI

[Disco Potato]

Hopefully everyone who's wanted to guess this round already has...I won't be able to update at the normal time (I think it's a couple of hours away), so I figured I might as well do it now.

Everybody was right again, it's "Blackjack," from FF6 :). The next song is below. From now on you can also pm me if you don't want other people to see your answer(s) or want to suggest a song :)

Updated scores:
roto13-ness: 2 (1 bonus)
Vivisteiner: 1.5
Cruise Control: 1.5
blackmage_nuke: 2 (1 bonus)
rubah: 1.5
Vivi22: 1.5
Sephiroth1999AD: 1.5
feioncastor: 1.5
Zeromus_X: 1.5
Takara: 1.5
Everit: 1.5

Edit: I've attached a hint song...the game that the hint song is in is the same game that the original is in :)

[blackmage_nuke]

I think it's summoned beast battle from X

[Zeromus_X]

Summoned Beast Battle from Final Fantasy X, though the melody seems somewhat different after the beginning.

[Sefie1999AD]

The song in question is not Summoned Beast Battle from FFX. It's called "Grand Maester Mika" in my FFX music collection, though I've also seen it called "Reception for Great Sage Micah".

[Everit]

Actually, it's Welcome the old priest Mika from Final Fantasy X

[Vivisteiner]

It is 'welcoming of the old priest maika' from FFX.

[Disco Potato]

Everyone got the game right - it's FF10 (I'm guessing the hint helped :p), but the song title is 'Welcoming of the Old Priest Maika' or something along those lines. I was actually gonna use "Summoned Beast Battle" but I thought it would be too easy :p

Sephiroth, I don't know if you were guessing or just correcting, but you're actually not supposed to look up the song if you're answering (I mentioned it in the original post), and you don't have to correct people. I'll give you the points this time, but please don't do it if you guess later on :)

Anyways, the points:
roto13-ness: 3
Vivisteiner: 3
Cruise Control: 1.5
blackmage_nuke: 3 (1 bonus)
rubah: 1.5
Vivi22: 1.5
Sephiroth1999AD: 3
feioncastor: 1.5
Zeromus_X: 2.5
Takara: 1.5
Everit: 3

The fourth song is below. Hopefully it'll be easier than the last one :p. As I mentioned before, you can answer in a pm if you want to keep your answer(s) private.

[blackmage_nuke]

Thats Cait Sith's theme from VII, im not sure if it has an actual name besides cait sith's theme though

[feioncastor]

You should post some FF1-FF5 music, too. If you aren't familiar enough with the songs, you should let someone else do it for a few rounds to get some more diversity in the game. Just try to keep score.

[Vivisteiner]

Yep, cait sith's theme from FF7.

[Sefie1999AD]

Sephiroth, I don't know if you were guessing or just correcting, but you're actually not supposed to look up the song if you're answering (I mentioned it in the original post), and you don't have to correct people. I'll give you the points this time, but please don't do it if you guess later on :)

That was because I remembered the song name was related to Maester Mika and to his welcoming ceremony, but I wasn't sure of the exact way the name of the song was spelled.

The current song is Cait Sith's theme from FFVII.

[Disco Potato]

You should post some FF1-FF5 music, too. If you aren't familiar enough with the songs, you should let someone else do it for a few rounds to get some more diversity in the game. Just try to keep score.

I think I asked a while ago if anyone wanted to suggest a song, but no one replied about it. But if anyone wants to do that or take over for a bit you can pm me :)


That was because I remembered the song name was related to Maester Mika and to his welcoming ceremony, but I wasn't sure of the exact way the name of the song was spelled.

Ohh ok. Well you don't have to be worried about spelling because I'm trying not to picky about that :)



Edit: I was gonna update the scores and add another song but my computer is being weird...I’ll update as soon as everything gets back to normal :/

[Disco Potato]

Sorry for the double-post (don't know if I should combine the two posts or not)...everyone was right as usual :p, and the new song and scores are below:

roto13-ness: 3
Vivisteiner: 4 (.5 bonus)
Cruise Control: 1.5
blackmage_nuke: 4 (1.5 bonus)
rubah: 1.5
Vivi22: 1.5
Sephiroth1999AD: 4 (.5 bonus)
feioncastor: 1.5
Zeromus_X: 2.5
Takara: 1.5
Everit: 3

You can also get 1.5 points per song that you suggest to me (in a pm), up to 3 points :)

[Takara]

This one is Cry in Sorrow from Final Fantasy IV.

[Zeromus_X]

Yes, Cry in Sorrow from Final Fantasy IV. :cat:

I can't believe I missed Kitten Sith's theme. :(

[blackmage_nuke]

Yep, Cry in Sorrow FFIV

[Disco Potato]

The answer was 'Cry in Sorrow' from FF4 :). You guys really know your music! (unless someone's cheating, but hopefully no one's doing that :p) Next song is below.

Scores:
roto13-ness: 3

Takara: 3

[TidusMaster]

i have no clue..maybe something from ff6?

[Takara]

I know it's the remixed Mount Gulug (or was it actually "Gurgu"? Curse my bad memory) track from FFIX, but the exact title escapes me.

[Sefie1999AD]

Oops, I missed "Cry in Sorrow" since I was busy studying for a few days. The current song is called "Gurgu Volcano" or something like that, and this version was from Final Fantasy IX. It played during Mount Gulug in FFIX.

[Slothy]

I'm going to have to go with Gurugu Volcano from FFIX as well.

[Everit]

Yeah, I'm not sure if it's Gulguru Volcanoe or Gulgur Volcano but that's it.

[Disco Potato]

Sorry for the delay...my Internet's been acting up again :mad:. Anyways, the song this time was indeed Gulgar Volcano, or something along those lines, from FF9. I'm sure this is obvious, but I'm trying to vary the games now :cool:. Next song is below. And thank Vivisteiner for the previous song, because it was his suggestion :)

Scores:
roto13-ness: 3
Vivisteiner: 6

[Dark_Mage_Palom]

All Sounds of Final Fantasy I - II : Matoya's Cavern

Final Fantasy & Final Fantasy II Original Soundtrack: Matoya's Cave

[Sefie1999AD]

Matoya's Cave from FFI, yeah.

[Avarice-ness]

Omg, I'm joining in this game!

[Edit]It is Matoya's Cave but that's the version from the Wonderswan/Dawn of Souls FF1, The original on the NES didn't have the drum beat. :)

[Everit]

Def. Matoya's Cave.

[Dark_Mage_Palom]

I kinda feel like I am cheating lol:D

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f277/palom004/1.jpg (http://photobucket.com/)

[blackmage_nuke]

Yes matoya's cave ff1

[Takara]

I'm going with the family, Matoya's Cave from FFI

[Duncan]

Dang I'm joining really late in the game but Matoya's Cave on this one.

[Disco Potato]

Hey, sorry for yet another delay. The answer is Matoya's Cave from FF1. Because of personal reasons (i.e. finals :eep:) I'm gonna combine rounds 8 and 9, and you have up until Thursday (the 7th) to answer. The songs are below as always, and you can always pm me to answer or suggest a song.

[Avarice-ness]

FFV - My Home, Sweet Home

And unless there are edits and the main channel is missing..

FFVII - Chasing the Black-Caped Man.

(I say 'missing channel' because I can't pick out the oboe, only the stings and the harps..)

[Vivisteiner]

The bottom tune is 'find your way' in FF8
A great tune.

[Avarice-ness]

The bottom tune is 'find your way' in FF8
A great tune.

Dude, seriously. Either Nobuo copied his own work or someone mixed with the midi's. If you put the songs over each other on NoteWorthy Composer they almost equal up perfectly, just in a different key. :eek:

[Slothy]

They sound somewhat similar but the second is definitely Find your Way from FF8.

Since I didn't know the title of the first song off the top of my head I'll settle for saying it's from FFV rather than trying to look up the name.

[Sefie1999AD]

"Home Sweet Home" from Final Fantasy V.

"Find Your Way" from Final Fantasy VIII.

[blackmage_nuke]

The bottom tune is 'find your way' in FF8
A great tune.

Dude, seriously. Either Nobuo copied his own work or someone mixed with the midi's. If you put the songs over each other on NoteWorthy Composer they almost equal up perfectly, just in a different key. :eek:
If you have to write about 60 songs a game and have 9 games which is like 500 songs you're bound to repeat yourself eventually :rolleyes2

the second one is find your way from 8

[Takara]

8. My Home, Sweet Home - FFV
9. Find Your Way - FFVIII

[Dark_Mage_Palom]

8. My Home, Sweet Home - FFV
9. Find Your Way - FFVIII

:choc:

[Disco Potato]

Yay, back on track, and approaching the end too :D. The two songs this time were "Home, Sweet Home" from FF5, and "Find Your Way" from FF8. The next song is below.

[Sefie1999AD]

That sounds like Shuyin's theme from Final Fantasy X-2.

[Disco Potato]

That sounds like Shuyin's theme from Final Fantasy X-2.

Yup, that's right. Great job - I thought that was a pretty hard one :). Next song is below.

[Zeromus_X]

That would be On the Other Side of the Mountain, from Final Fantasy VII.

[Takara]

That would be On the Other Side of the Mountain, from Final Fantasy VII.

I second that.

[blackmage_nuke]

Certainly On the Other Side of the Mountain VII

[Sefie1999AD]

Yeah, I'll also say "On the other side of the mountain" from Final Fantasy VII.

[Vivisteiner]

'On the Other Side of the Mountain'- FFVII

[Slothy]

'On the Other Side of the Mountain'- FFVII

I'm afraid I must agree with the above.

[Disco Potato]

Yup, it was "On the Other Side of the Mountain" from FF7 :)

Last round - two songs to guess on! (see below). You can always pm me the answers.

Scores:
roto13-ness: 3

[Vivisteiner]

midi13: An odd version of 'Jesters of the moonless sky' - FFIX

[Sefie1999AD]

The Rebel Army Theme from Final Fantasy II (the midi arrangement is a bit weird, but it's still recognizable)

The Jesters of the Moon from Final Fantasy IX.

[Disco Potato]

The answers to the last two songs are "Rebel Army" from FF2 (midi12) and "Jesters of the Moon" from FF9 (midi13).

Thanks to everyone who played - hope it was fun :bigsmile:. Congrats Sephiroth!

Final scores:
Roto13: 3
Vivisteiner: 10.5

[Sefie1999AD]

Here's some stats about this quiz. I'll list how many songs from each FF was used on this quiz:

FFI - 1
FFII - 1
FFIV - 1
FFV - 1
FFVI - 1
FFVII - 2
FFVIII - 2
FFIX - 2
FFX - 1
FFX-2 - 1

If there's anything to say, I'd have liked to hear more songs from older FFs since they're less known than the songs in the newer FFs. There were no songs from FFIII at all. :/ I think the hardest song was Shuyin's Theme from FFX-2 because that one is very ambient and hardly has any melody.

[Vivisteiner]

Thanks for the stats :). I'm not as familiar with the music from the older FFs, and there were fewer midis of songs from those games on the internet, so it was harder to find songs that I liked and that seemed somewhat difficult to guess :-\
