Video Game Music/TSW Forum

I would like to make a suggestion for a name change for this specific forum. Seeing that Square-Enix is coming up with a new movie, which is basically the "sequel" to Final Fantasy VII, "FFVII:Advent Children."

I would like to suggest that the name be changed to Square-Enix/Video Game Multimedia so that it can cover not only Video Game Music and The Spirit Within, but to all multimedia created by Square-Enix and other gaming companies. The current name is a bit misleading and outdated anyway. :p

Yeah, I thought about that. But I'm going to say no just to piss you off.

It should be called:

The Christian Friends Network / The Pimp Forum / Jeff's Forum / The Poop Forum
Also not the BDSM forum / Also not the Hitlar forum / Also not Proto's forum, but the other Jeff / We can also use this to put crap posts

Thank you for your suggestion. We at Eyes on Final Fantasy value your opinion and will consider the issue.

So that's what the TSW stands for...

I was too afraid to ask, I thought everybody might think I was like the biggest dumbass or something.

Dude that is the VGM/TSW Forum.

I think the named should be changed.

But if it's turned into a game music/game movie forum, that'd create confusion with the regards to other movie-based games. Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Aliens vs Predator... do they go in the Lounge, or in GM/GM?

However, game music could just as easily go in the Lounge, too, as general music discussion, or in General Gaming.

But really... Proto has a point.
A forum that's for game-related stuff - movies, music - would be better than one that's just for game music and one game movie, as it is now.

How about...

Gaming Multimedia
Discuss video game music, movies and related works in here.

That could work... as long as people remember not to post fan-art in it.

Gee, it actually makes sense.

I hope nobody's actually thinking of having the FFVII:AC threads in that forum. They belong in the FFVII forum. That's got to be the most bleeding obvious thing. Can someone clear up what they want?

That's the tough part. If the FGM/TSW forum gets re-defined in any way, a lot of other threads suddenly become "in the wrong place".

That's why status quo is so much more convenient at times.

In fact, VGM/TSW could probably be done away with altogether. VGM discussions would fit nicely in the Lounge, or in General Gaming for "which game's got the best music?"-type comparison threads. TSW discussion - such as it is - fits into the Lounge or into General FF, depending on what exactly is being discussed.

The VGM/TSW forum gets little traffic as it is... it it were removed entirely, it wouldn't disrupt anything too much.

Yes, good points. My two options would be:

1) As Big D said, do away with the forum altogether.
2) Leave the forum as it is - for music and for The Spirits Within. Any movies that are related to a specific game can go in either the respective FF forum or else The Lounge.

#1 is probably the better option, the more I think about it. There should be a little note under General SE saying "The Spirits Within can also be discussed in this forum."

Since it's a SE movie (I think?), there's no harm in having it in General SE.

Yeah, maybe it's time to delete that forum :p

I have seen only one thread about that movie ever. I like that music has it's own forum, though. Maybe just 'Video Game Music' is good and TSW can go in Gen Square Enix.

Yes. Good one, Towns.

You're hereby docked two weeks' pay for even presenting this idea.

As long as it stays under the Square Enix heading, where it belongs.

Perhaps an Advent Children sub-forum is in order?

You guys just want to get rid of it because you're too lazy to mod it unless somene posts a GIANT RAVING CHALLENGE.

I say we leave it, but just as a Video Game Music forum. TSW isn't discussed much (why should it be ^_~) but as Del said, I like that game music has it's own forum.

If it's made into Video Game Music, it should be placed under General Gaming Discussion or something... @.@

No, it would be for Square Enix game music, just like all the other forums in SE. Meanwhile, music from other games (or a mixture of SE and other games) would belong in general gaming, just everything else to do with gaming. That's the whole point of having the Square Enix forums - to focus on anything SE.

I think Kishi said it a bit simpler than me but yeah, I agree with him.
