Thanks for the kind words!

We're strictly bound by an NDA (non-disclosure agreement), so we can't talk about the details of our correspondence with Square Enix. What we CAN say is that the arrangement we came up with was fair & reasonable for everyone involved, something we're very very proud of. Large publishers do often get a bad rap for refusing to negotiate or bargain with fan creators, but in this case we actually came up with something that made everyone happy. We hope it will set a new precedent for future interactions with Square Enix and perhaps other big publishers as well.

Regarding the Slovak National Symphony Orchestra, Chad Seiter (the arranger of "Terra's Resolve") was just coming off working on a major Star Trek project and figured, "Hey, since we have the orchestra here and set up to record... let's do Terra!" If you're not familiar with Chad, he's worked on some of the very biggest films & TV shows, so the guy is an absolute pro.

Larry: Here's an alpha'ed list of in-progress albums that may or may not get finished.

• Sonic CD (Japanese & US soundtracks)
• Super Mario 64
• Super Mario RPG

QUESTION FOR FANS:

How did you discover OC ReMix? :-)

Thank you!

Cain McCormack (Fishy): Hi Kal, I'm actually directing the FFIX project. It's definitely on the way and I've got over 40 finished tracks for it. Listening to this FFVI project has got me really excited to get it over the line so I'm gonna get things moving!

Larry: We're hoping to finalize the FF6 CD/DVD printing in the next week or two. As you've seen, the other past albums have already been made. We're really hoping that everyone gets their rewards before the end of August (at the latest). Sorry in advance if that timing doesn't quite work out, but believe us when we say we're working on it and making sure it's done right.
