FF Music Game

[Disco Potato]

I came up with this idea during class today (I was very bored ), 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)

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



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

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 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

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

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.
