Forum:MegaProject: Arise - Project: Music
As part of MegaProject: Arise, I hereby present Project: Music. So this is an extension of this, as this is one of the projects, and a revival of the original Project: Music from four years ago. This new forum will hopefully help avoid any clutter/mess on that page. So, as KrytenKoro originally posted when the project was first created, this project consists of three parts:
- Task 1: Obtain screenshots of the track lists for all Kingdom Hearts soundtracks, Japanese and English.
Task 2: Translate Japanese titles. Until we can find an instance where the track list is in Japanese, this task in done.- Task 3: Identify where each track is used in the games.
- Task 4: Upload any missing tracks.
Details:
- Task 1: This is talking about a confirmed list of tracks, as taken from the back of the soundtracks. This looks pretty much done, to me. If not, we have some screenshots here.
Task 2: This is for people who can actually/properly translate the titles. Google Translate is not a good course of action for this.- Task 3: This is probably what is left of this project...It is a rather large one, too. Figuring out exactly what pieces play when requires double checking by going by through the games. For example: Lazy Afternoons plays in KHII only when you play as Roxas; it plays in Days as the main theme; COM also uses it as the main theme.
- Task 4: This, I feel, should be done after Task 3. Any tracks we find missing should be uploaded as per the audio policy. That means they need to be converted to .ogg files, and they have to be 30 seconds (approx). We can't upload the whole track. Task 3 should be done first because once it is finished, the list of tracks page will be completed and we'll more easily identify which tracks are missing, rather than dive into the category pages to find the tracks. HOWEVER, if you really want to, go ahead and "jump right in."
The biggest task is Task 3, which is the identifying of where the songs are played. This means playing through the games, and it includes any extras in any re-releases (Final Mixes, Re:releases, etc.). Now, we're also accepting watching full walkthroughs on YouTube, as long as the source is acceptable (so if it's a hacked game with special characters, don't even think about it. I'll whack you with the Keyblade before you finish watching such videos). Please list below where you sign-up what videos you're using. It'd probably be best to use our affiliates (we're affiliates for a reason), but if you have trusted sources, go for it. Still, we'd greatly appreciate if we could have at least one person go through the games and confirm that the tracks play where they're supposed to. This is being filled in my notes here. Below, I'll also update on what games have been completed and which ones are still in need of some work. You'll be able to sign-up for specific tasks and, for Task 3, specific games. At that point, I'll update the sign-up section below with any details.

Discussion
Task 2 isn't necessary. The songs don't have Japanese titles (only exception are the Utada songs); they're straight-up English (or occasional other language) even in the JP releases. Photo of the DDD OST as an example. Ultima Spark (talk)

Someone decided to close my tabs on my computer and I lost what I had written so far... D: Sorry for the late work! ANX219 16:34, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
- I wonder why task two exists then? That was taken from the old project page a couple years ago...Maybe then we didn't have the Japanese titles (Utada, etc.) translated? Also, if we need .ogg files- "task 4" perhaps?- let me know. Xion4ever 20:52, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
- I'll add Task 4, then. As for Task 2, I also don't know why it was added. I just copied it from the original project from four years ago. If there really isn't an instance where the titles are in Japanese, then we should cancel the task. I feel that's what we should do. I was on KH13 (where Ultima Spark got the image of the KH3D OST), and even the 10th Anniversary track listing is in English. And that's a Japan-only release (like the KH3D OST). So, I'm just canceling it until we find an instance where the track listing is in Japanese. KeybladeSpyMaster 18:04, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
