FF Music Game

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)

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

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

you might could say that it was called Ami, quistis's theme :p but I dunno why you would want to.
11-11-2006, 11:09 PM
Vivisteiner

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

Anyway, its definately Balamb Garden from FF8

Yeah, definitely
Balamb Garden
FF8

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
11-12-2006, 03:52 AM
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
11-12-2006, 07:33 AM
blackmage_nuke

yes i'd also say Blackjack from VI

Blackjack from FFVI for me as well.

I'll also say Blackjack from FFVI.
11-12-2006, 07:33 PM
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.
11-12-2006, 07:36 PM
Zeromus_X

Yes, it's the Blackjack from FFVI.
11-13-2006, 10:22 PM

End of 2nd round

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

Vivi22: 1.5
Sephiroth1999AD: 1.5
feioncastor: 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 :)

I think it's summoned beast battle from X
11-16-2006, 05:14 AM

Summoned Beast Battle from Final Fantasy X, though the melody seems somewhat different after the beginning.
11-16-2006, 05:28 PM
Sefie1999AD

The song in question is not Summoned Beast Battle from FFX. It's called (SPOILER)"Grand Maester Mika" in my FFX music collection, though I've also seen it called (SPOILER)"Reception for Great Sage Micah".
11-16-2006, 10:31 PM
Everit

Actually, it's Welcome the old priest Mika from Final Fantasy X
11-17-2006, 07:06 PM

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

End of round 3

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.

Thats Cait Sith's theme from VII, im not sure if it has an actual name besides cait sith's theme though
11-18-2006, 05:30 AM

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.
11-18-2006, 12:14 PM

Yep, cait sith's theme from FF7.

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 (SPOILER)Cait Sith's theme from FFVII.

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

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.
11-24-2006, 11:46 PM
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.
11-25-2006, 07:00 PM

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

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:
12-02-2006, 08:05 PM

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.

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.

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 :-\
