The Games We Played on Flash Flash Revolution
Posted on: December 5, 2006Note: I don't have sheet music for this yet, but some nice people are working on it — see this and also see the comments below!
I believe the best part of what I'm about to tell you is that it was done in love. Y'see, Rebirth0 decided to take "The Games We Played", my 17-min. piano megamix of classic video game tuneage, and turn it into the uber-ultimatest stepfile on Flash Flash Revolution you've ever experienced.
Listen and DOWNLOAD MP3:
I'm usually shy about superlatives, but not today, because in Rebirth0's own words:
Why would I make such a file? I wanted to make a simfile that matched what I felt towards the girl I love. To do that, I would have to make the perfect simfile. With The Games We Played, I think I did so. There is no other simfile that is like this. She gave me the will to start and finish this simfile. It was an intense two months, but I finished it and the results are outstanding! She is the one person that gave me the ability to do this. Sadly, right now we’re having a little trouble with our relationship. I don’t know what will happen right now, if she’ll leave or if she’ll stay. All I can do now is hope for the best.
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! <3
He was nice to email me too, and let me know he did this.
The followup, however, is sad:
Well, tonight I found out the truth. Me and her were on a “break” from each other as of two weeks ago. I found out tonight that it wasn’t just a break, it was a complete break up. This sucks…really bad. I put so much time into perfecting TGWP because of her, and she’s probably gone. It almost makes me feel like I wasted my time.
But…I know I didn’t completely waste my time. I know that even if it was or wasn’t made for her, it’s still one of the best simfiles ever made if not the best. I accomplished one of my ultimate goals in this game: to make one of the best simfiles ever.
@Rebirth0: heartbreak hurts, but what you did… lives on. I wish you all the best with this, and you already know how many peeps already enjoy your handiwork. Critical respect to you for doing this, bringing back my good memories of performing the piece, and thanx to Tasselfoot for highlighting it, 'cuz TGWP — in all 1 2 3 4 5 parts — was featured as Song of the Week.
(I only found this out today, because the FFR site was down for me during the last few days.)
Also…
I've received a lotta lovely questions asking me about sheet music for "The Games We Played". Regrettably, I must inform you none exists which I know of — I played it by ear, and it's not been transcribed yet, to my knowledge. Wish I could help you more. If anyone even does a semi-decent stab at a manuscript, I'll be happy to help distro the works.
Also, I've had inquiries asking about a complete song listing, which games are performed, etc. This is gonna sound curiously negligent of me, but I didn't have that either. Thankfully, Rebirth0 posted a partial song listing here, and I've edited it idiosyncratically in bold:
0:00-1:06 - Metal Gear Solid
1:06-1:55 - Deus Ex1:55-2:40 - Kirby's Dream Land
2:40-3:22 - A Boy and His Blob
3:22-3:35 - Super Mario Brothers
3:35-5:10 - The Legend of Zelda
5:10-5:54 - Tetris
5:54-6:10 - Super Metroid
6:10-6:55 - Final Fantasy 4 Main Theme
6:55-7:16 - Final Fantasy Fanfare
7:16-7:51 - Final Fantasy Chocobo Theme
7:51-8:19 - Final Fantasy 6 Boss Theme
8:19-9:18 - Simple and Clean (Kingdom Hearts Theme)
9:18-9:48 - Torley's own made-up bridge I
9:48-10:52 - Bubble Bobble
10:52-11:37 - Zombie Nation (from the C64 game Lazy Jones)
11:37-12:03 - Great Gianna Sisters (also Commodore 64)12:04-12:24 - Popeye (another C64 classik)
12:24-12:42 - Torley's own made-up bridge II12:42-13:13 - Dragon Warrior (NES)
13:13-13:40 - Secret of Mana (SNES)
13:40-14:17 - Final Fantasy 4 End Theme
14:17-16:08 - Megaman II Flashman's Theme
16:08-17:11 - Final Fantasy Crystal Theme
Wheu.
You'l prolly wanna see the whole "Song of the Week: The Games We Played, ALL PARTS!" thread, started by FFR Overseer Shashakiro, too. Apparently, it contains hundreds of tempo changes, and makes good use of FFR's "new ability to convert BPM changes into FFR's engine."
At a time where I'm finding solace in classic 8-bit pleasures and pulling chunks out of my childhood then catapulting them into the environs of my current state, this is all-too-comforting. Heck, if I close my eyes, I can see myself, in March 2004, lettin' the melodies flow… nostalgia doesn't do me much good, but I'm more than appreciative that many new gamers are discovering TGWP through FFR!
Once more, with so much feeling, thank you graciously for doing this, Rebirth0!

No Castlevania??? Castlevania was my favorite growing up and had some of the best 8 bit tunes out there. Torley did you know that there is a "Mushroom Kingdom" in sl? I went there once but it was still being built and there wasn't much there. May need to check it out again soon.
December 6th, 2006 at 10:36 AM PST
Wow, Torley, what an amazing piano piece! I'll have to take a stab at the FFR version once I get home tonight.
December 6th, 2006 at 2:50 PM PST
3 words… YOU-ARE-GOD!!!! This is possibly my favorite song from you. After it's release on FFR I was so delighted, and it instantly became my favorite song to play on FFR. Flash Man, Bubble Bobble and Tetris are my favorite peices
I'm so sorry to hear about your ear misfortune and eventhough I haven't gone through it, I can pretty much feel your pain. For I too am huge fanatic of music and also compose. If I was to be unable to hear anymore, I would be sooooo devestated because I just hurt my knee and I'm not allowed to play sports anymore and those are my only two passions. Well, live one, be strong, and don't allow anyone to forget Torley Wong. You are a really GREAT man.
December 7th, 2006 at 8:07 AM PST
You know I absolutely love this song.
I have it on my iPod and listen to it all the time in my car. The pause in the middle of Tetris cracks me up. Thanks for posting the game titles! 
December 7th, 2006 at 9:51 PM PST
A Boy and his Blob!
December 8th, 2006 at 7:42 PM PST
@Grizzy: Mushroom Kingdom in SL is long gone, AFAIK, unless it's been reconstructed. Goodwrench Grayson was the kindly proprietor, and I played much video game trivia there. I think Salazar Jack took care of it for awhile. And "Vampire Killer" from Castlevania is one of my FAVE vidgame themes. So's some of the Simon's Quest melodies.
@Adri: Lemme know how you did!
@Alexis: Gee that's soooo nice of you. I just gotta keep going on! Maybe someday a miracle surgery will restore my hearing, or make it better than it ever was. Then I can return to form.
@Jadey: You're welcome, I'm glad I got the names at last! Haha I'm glad you know that's a pause sound too, I'm always intrigued about who gets that reference.
@Stella: YES! *hops like that white sac of stuff*
December 13th, 2006 at 5:41 PM PST
TGWP is so epic….i want to play it…could you like post the sheet music or email it to me or something? (monkeybomb_45@yahoo.com)
December 16th, 2006 at 1:10 PM PST
taylor, thanxies! I don't have sheet music as I described way up there, sowwies.
December 28th, 2006 at 2:10 AM PST
Hey thanks so much for making this piece. It's so beautiful. Is there anyway I can get a the original WAV file instead of the MP3? I only ask because I'd like a lossless version to play on my stereo system. It's that great to me. I'd be willing to pay for a CD if you had one, of the original version. Thanks for this
December 30th, 2006 at 1:23 PM PST
Hey thanx a lot, Michael! Sorry, I don't have a lossless WAV on me — last I recall, the MP3 sounded very close. Indistinguishable to me, actually. (Whatever seeming artifacts there may be are actually part of the vintage-sounding pianos' charm.) You're welcome tho! Glad you like it.
January 6th, 2007 at 4:49 PM PST
lol did you transcribe these piano solos by yourself? if you did, ur a pretty descent composer. haha, I myself love to play mario and those types of final fantasy piano solos. well if u post up sheet music, u should send me it!
thx!~
January 8th, 2007 at 7:48 PM PST
ian, I sure did. Thanx! I won't be doing the transcription myself, but if anyone does… give me a shout.
January 9th, 2007 at 10:28 AM PST
Hey! I love this song, but I use stepmania … do you know if rebirth did the whole 17min stepfile for other sims?
January 10th, 2007 at 11:36 PM PST
Heya Aygen, I'd recommend asking him. Sorry, I don't know. Which sim do you use? Thanx — glad you like it!
February 2nd, 2007 at 10:55 AM PST
You are one amazing dude. I….I just can't explain the feeling it makes me feel. I just hear the music in all of these emotions and it's just….it's amazing. The metal gear sold theme to the pause in tetris just made some many memories flow threw me. Then the final fantasy chocobo theme…wow…I just wanted to say thanks. Every gamer is saying thanks. Thank you once again.
February 3rd, 2007 at 10:43 AM PST
Aaron, thankya for listening and enjoying! That's exactly the kind of moods I wanted to communicate… all those great titles. There are so many moving melodies in video game music, and I'm happy I was able to share my passion for them with people like you who care. You're very, very welcome.
February 21st, 2007 at 8:31 PM PST
Yo, im not sure if its been mentioned yet (i love the song, btw, thank you for returning the good old memories ^^) at 13:40, it may just sound very similar, but that sounds like the ending of LoZ:A Link to the Past (SNES). maybe they're the same, similar, whatever, but yah
February 24th, 2007 at 2:04 PM PST
^ Thanx Matt! I didn't know of that similarity; that part's meant to be like Final Fantasy's "Crystal Theme".
March 7th, 2007 at 9:13 AM PST
Your song is simply amazing. It is so beautiful to listen to.
I noticed a lot of people saying they were able to download it unto their ipods. I would really love to do the same. Can you please tell me how to do this? Is there a place I need to go to purchase the download?
Thank you,
Paul
March 11th, 2007 at 11:10 AM PDT
@Paul: Thanks so much, and the direct MP3 download link is above! I know I didn't make it the most obvious, but it's free:

March 11th, 2007 at 11:28 PM PDT
Oddly enough, I made a comment in response to Paul several days ago, pointing to http://torley.com/my-piano-performances-on-flash-flash-revolution (which also has the direct link), but it got eated and didn't show up.
Also, I can't believe I didn't post directly, before. This song is AWESOMESAUCE
March 18th, 2007 at 7:27 PM PDT
@Elix: Crapstix, I looked for that but didn't see it. It was not in the mod queue! Thanks for trying to help.
April 1st, 2007 at 3:36 PM PDT
Amazing! I couldn't beat any of the songs on flash flash revolution though =P
Great work hope to see more =)
April 8th, 2007 at 9:19 AM PDT
@Tony: Thanx, as you may've seen here, I've been releasing more piano music, solo improvisations you may enjoy. I haven't defined whether I want to do more video game tuneage, but it's an open possibility! =D
May 21st, 2007 at 11:17 AM PDT
is there any place to get flashman sheet music anywhere. ive been searching for awile with no luck if there is can someone post a link or somethin
May 29th, 2007 at 11:53 PM PDT
I was wondering if i can have even a vague arrangement of this song, i've been trying to play it by ear but a few, ok many parts are killing me in the music. and i need to learn it by at the latest, march 2008. I'm thinking of playing it for a school concert or college auditioning peice, so if i can have it that would be a big help, if it didnt bother you very much.
My email is dragoon47@sbcglobal.net.
I hope you will think it over. Thank you.
June 4th, 2007 at 7:50 PM PDT
@snyper and sean: I'm sorry I don't have something more full, nor do I have the time nor desire at the present. I keep hoping someone will want to take a shot at transcribing what I played… I'd certainly love to see others play it, so thank-you for your interest.
June 23rd, 2007 at 2:27 PM PDT
could I get a link to the song, because I love it and I have played it in FFR and passed them all. the link you have to download the song doesn't work for me. so I would apreciate if you would give me a different one.
June 25th, 2007 at 5:03 PM PDT
@ray: Is http://blip.tv/file/get/Torley-TheGamesWePlayed908.mp3 not working for you?
I just tried it and it downloads.
June 28th, 2007 at 7:39 PM PDT
thanks It worked now^^ and the music you compose are awsome!
July 1st, 2007 at 3:45 PM PDT
@ray: Great to know, and thank you so much for coming here and letting me know you feel this way!
July 23rd, 2007 at 6:09 AM PDT
PLEASE MAKE SHEET MUSIC YOU DONT KNOW HOW BAD I WANT TO PLAY THIS . if it were a duet piano song, me and a friend would do it for our school recital SO PLEASE MAKE SUM SHEET MUSIC THANX
July 23rd, 2007 at 7:40 PM PDT
@!xobile: Is that a click in your name?
Reminds me of a Russell Peters sketch, or The Gods Must Be Crazy. Sadly as I've mentioned before, my sheet music skills aren't up to stuff and I haven't had any time in my busy life (or Second Life). I'm still keeping eyes and ears open for anyone who does wanna make sheet music for this, tho!
August 3rd, 2007 at 8:49 AM PDT
Hey. I'm from FFR.
Obviously there's an incredible amount of demand for the sheet music for this piece. You could certainly sell it and make a decent amount. I really think you should put the effort into it.
A good way to get started on it is to use software that generates sheet music for you, like midinotate. Obviously it won't be perfect, because your song has so many dynamic components, but you should definitely take a rough stab at it and clean it up as much as you have the patience to. I would personally pay 10$ for a download-able copy of the sheet music.
Problem with most sheet music generators is they depend on midi files, which this clearly isn't. Alternatively, you can get some devotee to make a midi file from your recording, which would take months, but is possible, or you could rent one of those keyboards which record the music as a midi (and some do the sheet music automatically too) as you play it.
Just tossing out some suggestions, hope you pursue it!

August 5th, 2007 at 8:01 AM PDT
@Alain: Thanks for all your suggestions. I sure wish I had a better way to autogenerate clean, usable sheet music from live performances too (I would've done that with many, many previous piano recordings). I used to use Opcode Musicshop and Vision which had a limited form of notation, but the problem was having to manually quantize performances after… all that rubato wreaks havoc with bar divisions.
Currently tho, I have very little free time with my fulltime job (working as a Product Manager & more for Linden Lab) and everything else going on, so it's not an area I have more of a luxury to investigate. For the time being, I'll leave it to people who know more, and understand standard musical notation better than I do.
August 28th, 2007 at 4:30 AM PDT
Torley, I absolutely love TGWP. I think your piano stuff is the best
September 2nd, 2007 at 7:59 AM PDT
Thanks johnny! =D
September 24th, 2007 at 8:02 PM PDT
This is an amazing song, I first found it on FFR, and the stepfile is amazing. The song is quite nostalgic for me, I caught myself smiling the entire time and humming along with the melodies. Thank you so much.
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:44 PM PDT
Hey, if anyone has the piano sheet music for this awesome song, please send to:
apvannie@shaw.ca
thanks
October 4th, 2007 at 3:39 PM PDT
Oops… sorry, just found that explanation on the sheet music… how stupid of me
I really want to try playing it, but it's an awesome song nevertheless.
October 18th, 2007 at 4:14 AM PDT
first of all you are a god…. haha you probably get that alot so i won't say much about your skills… but i am up for the challenge of playing the song by ear… with the help of two friends we have already got pt 4 and half of pt 1 ( 99% accurate).
heh its a challenge im willing to take to a song which is beyond perfect!
thanks
October 27th, 2007 at 11:42 AM PDT
YES, if ANYONE at all ever does a quality transcription of "The Games We Played" into sheet music (I've had several offers but nothing finished thus far…), I'm up for posting it and sharing it around, Jordan!
@Jules: Thanks so much! I'd like to hear your renditions if you have recordings… and you're muchly welcome!
/me is always happy to positively inspire… you know what they say about music moving the soul and such!
November 18th, 2007 at 6:55 PM PST
you are amazing for putting together such a pro medley.
November 22nd, 2007 at 9:37 PM PST
You are an amazing composer and this is an amazing piece of music. It's one of the most unfortunate ironies of the world that such a great songwriter as you has to deal with you hearing problem. However, I'm glad you found something else to do with your life!
Also, I know you hear this very often, but I'm extremely sad there's no sheet music for this. I just recently showed this piece to a friend of mine who actually plays the piano, and she now desperately wants the score. But, alas, even i can't find that which doesn't exist, and neither of us can transcribe it, certainly.
Thanks so much for making this piece and allowing me to enjoy it!
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:29 PM PST
yeah, I'm not a big fan of posting anything on the internet, but a friend of mine gave me a copy of "the games we played" and I was SO hooked.
I'd love to be able to play it and I'd transcribe it myself, but I honestly don't think I'm quite that good. I'm working on it anyway, but if you had the time to write out some of the basic melody and chording/base stuff, it would make it way easier; the runs and ornamentation would be way easier to handle with some sort of framework. The email I put in to make a comment will forward to me.
Thanks!
November 25th, 2007 at 1:08 PM PST
@Anonymous: I'm appreciative you took the time to share this with me! Ah, "ornamentation" is such a fun word, 'specially around the holiday season. You're welcome!
@Anton: My life is loaded with irony. Thank-you… I keep hoping someday a great transcriber will come along, and then I can share the PDF (or whatever format) of the resulting score. Or even more than one possible transcription; I wouldn't be the best judge of their accuracy, but I'm keeping that possibility open!
@Ben: Glad you think so, thanx for letting me know!
January 10th, 2008 at 3:04 PM PST
I'm trying to transcribe the piece, and I got half of part 1 done (slightly simplified) but I don't know the time signature, would you know?
January 13th, 2008 at 6:51 AM PST
@Amzy: The time signature for most of the included pieces is 4/4 but there are various parts where I shift rhythms. I think it may help to look up the original recordings or more metric renditions of some of these video games musics, because I *did* take a lot of liberties with the tempo.
January 15th, 2008 at 5:14 PM PST
Your song has way too many tempo changes*COUGH*kingdom hearts*COUGH*(. I mistake eigth notes for sixteenth notes. T__T. Oh well. I'm gonna ignore the rythym issues if I fully transcribe this. The guys already know this song so it shouldn't be a problem.
Oh and another thing…
YOUR SONG ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 8th, 2008 at 7:07 PM PST
Hey idk if any of you visit this site anymore, but if any of you want sheet music plz comment or email me. Im currently working on it as a whole and I got a few minuies into it. My email is HyperAmzy@gmail.com
February 24th, 2008 at 12:03 PM PST
I've been playing FFR for awhile and I have to tell you that TGWP is my favorite song on there, I honestly just play the song on FFR so I listen to it. I play the piano too and I WOULD LOVE to be able to play this, I will pay any amount of money for the sheet music to this song, I would never pay more then 5 dollars for sheet music to any other song but this is different, it's spectacular.
March 9th, 2008 at 7:52 PM PDT
Hey, Dan, if you want to know my progress in this transcription feel free to ask me by email, and if I'm done with a part, I'll try to post the sheet music asap. It is very likely I'm gonna post revised parts though, as my transcription is far from perfect. If I would guess, I got 85% of the notes right and 10% rythymic accuracy. If I do post it up a part, it's free. I'm just doing this for fun.
March 16th, 2008 at 7:25 AM PDT
*looks forward to your progress, Andy*Thanks so much, Dan. =)
March 19th, 2008 at 9:19 PM PDT
Hey Andy, lets work together on the sheet music. I've worked on it for about 3 days now. My progress:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/obuo7z
Hope we can be the first to transcribe this awesome song!
By the way, Torley, some of your improv parts I made the timing as close to how you actually played it. However, that might be a pain to read, and if you think its better I can make the notes even and let the imaginations of the piano player shape the melody.
March 20th, 2008 at 2:50 PM PDT
Well, some parts in your transcription I disagree, but your transcription has some notes or chords I missed. How about we talk on Instant Messaging to share our thoughts. Btw, I think you're better than me in transcribing…… I'm 14 years old. I have AIM okay?
March 20th, 2008 at 2:57 PM PDT
I don't have AIM, but I have MSN. I am 14 too…. how coincidential. If you want to add me on MSN at Jonathanasdf@hotmail.com that would be nice.
And the reason I want people to proof read it is because of the parts you would disagree on. There are some chords there that I am not quite sure of, and because nobody is perfect we need to work together to produce the best sheet music we can come up with.
March 20th, 2008 at 6:18 PM PDT
sweeeet. i cant get msn (stupid computer) IM though so can you make a gmail? There's free IM
March 20th, 2008 at 6:22 PM PDT
I think I can add aim addresses to my MSN… brb let me try gimme your AIM username.
March 20th, 2008 at 6:24 PM PDT
oh lol we can like chat here
March 21st, 2008 at 1:15 PM PDT
Ok updated. fixed several blips and random stuff, and added 2 pages.

March 22nd, 2008 at 7:24 PM PDT
Holy sh*t dude! teach me! this song is amazing! it's like the song i dream to play on the piano! gj m8 ^_^. the FFR version is what brought me to find this song cause i recognize a lot from it, and it is almost perfect to the real song! BTW the popeye part of it is also from Monster Bash (a classic abandonware (DOS) PC game) if i can remember, it has the same exact beat to it.
March 22nd, 2008 at 8:21 PM PDT
Through this song on FFR, I found your music in The Final Selection (by means of a cleverly placed link). Ever since then, I've been a huge fan…
Didn't realize you blogged about it, though…I'll have to download the song, pronto!
Pity there's no sheet music, eh?
March 22nd, 2008 at 8:44 PM PDT
Thattagen, did you read my comment? Comment #60
March 22nd, 2008 at 8:51 PM PDT
^^; Ah, sorry…
I read it after I posted…
Is that just part 1?
March 23rd, 2008 at 7:37 AM PDT
I'm still working on the others.
March 23rd, 2008 at 5:51 PM PDT
heeeyyy
I'm working on it too.
Johnny Boii, why don't we split parts? It'll be faster. We can proofread each other's work.
March 23rd, 2008 at 6:11 PM PDT
Alright. Choose a part xD Halfway done Part II now. Part V is hard.
March 23rd, 2008 at 7:32 PM PDT
How long do you spend on this everyday?
March 23rd, 2008 at 7:42 PM PDT
i dont have much time to work on this anyway. I play too much maplestory and I am arranging "Torley's tribute to Rydeen" >.>
March 24th, 2008 at 3:09 PM PDT
~1 hour per day, less when school starts.
I gave up MS. Going to start all over again when Gomoku comes out.
March 24th, 2008 at 5:02 PM PDT
Gomoku?

March 25th, 2008 at 6:16 PM PDT
Okay…..
I'm doing part 3 and 4
Johnny Boii is doing parts 1 and 2
Vincent is doing part 5
Is that okay Johnny?
March 25th, 2008 at 6:18 PM PDT
Oh, what's the hardest song you've ever played? Mine's Moonlight sonata, rd movement.
March 25th, 2008 at 6:43 PM PDT
Hardest? Piano Etude (Demon Fire) xD
March 28th, 2008 at 7:55 PM PDT
sorry third movement
March 29th, 2008 at 10:39 PM PDT
alright done first 2 parts, but i have to leave for a 1 week camping trip. I hope to see part 3 done by the end of that >.<
March 30th, 2008 at 7:29 AM PDT
Didn't realize til just now how recent work is being done. Once you kiddos work out the parts, I'll have fun further transcribing it for B flat. Good luck!
Also, good job Torley, I'm an avid FFR fan, and actually playing this music on my instrument would be incredible. Keep up the good work and may your worst enemy be hit by a bus in front of you.
March 30th, 2008 at 8:25 AM PDT
transposing is easy…
Alto: http://www.sendspace.com/file/8336s8
Treble: http://www.sendspace.com/file/mb7pqc
Tenor: http://www.sendspace.com/file/7z6lpz
cause i didn't know what score you are using. formatting uglyness is credited to the stupid incompatible Finale, so don't blame me. you can always transcribe by hand if you want to. I really have to leave now, so Andy get to work muhahaha xD
March 30th, 2008 at 8:27 AM PDT
Thanks man. I'll see what I can actually realistically play. Hopefully you two have gotten lots done. Good luck.
March 30th, 2008 at 6:33 PM PDT
Dang, I gotta say I've been enjoying the continued discussion here and cheer for you guys working on transcription! I'm very appreciative for the help. =)

Yeah LAWLLLLL. Look at comments 46 to 47. First date was November 25, 2007. I made a comment at January something, yeah, my nickname is Amzy. That was like, 3 months xD. It's kinda wierd. Two 14 year olds working on a 17 minute piece is something you don't see often. Oh well. We're both doing well with it. So far………………….
Wait till we get to the ending D:
March 31st, 2008 at 4:06 PM PDT
aaaaaaaaaaaaagh you expect me to finish part 3 by the end of the week. I'll work double time hup-hup! (that's 30 minutes invested everyday now instead of 15 xD)
April 5th, 2008 at 4:58 PM PDT
I didn't work on tgwp for 6 days cuz my house is doing some floor remodeling at the moment. Sorry Johnny, but you'll have to wait for a while cuz I can't acess my work right now. I'm currently at my friend's house for the fifth night in a row.
April 5th, 2008 at 7:07 PM PDT
Um………………………………………… How do I post stuff here………..?
April 5th, 2008 at 7:09 PM PDT
Oh and Johnathan, when I asked what's the hardest song you've played, I meant on an instrunment, not on ffr.
April 5th, 2008 at 7:38 PM PDT
Don't spell my name wrongly.
Oh, and, that WAS on an instrument… my piano…
April 6th, 2008 at 12:15 PM PDT
Awwww my best friend's name is Johnathan….. I always call him Johnny. And how did you play it?
April 6th, 2008 at 12:32 PM PDT
Can I call you Jon, your name's too hard to spell.
April 6th, 2008 at 12:51 PM PDT
I guess you're really pissed off at me cuz I didn't work on the transcription for a whole week.
April 6th, 2008 at 12:52 PM PDT
Woot!!!! 90 comments already!! (even though most of it is utter nonsense)
April 6th, 2008 at 12:53 PM PDT
Like this one xD
April 6th, 2008 at 12:54 PM PDT

Hey where do you downlaod the demon fire song?
April 9th, 2008 at 8:31 PM PDT
Speaking of transcriptions, I'm going to transcribe Xristospiano. I can already play some of it, and I can get the rest if I'm diligent.
April 10th, 2008 at 6:16 PM PDT
Matt, is that you?
April 10th, 2008 at 6:45 PM PDT
No, this is not Matt.
April 11th, 2008 at 4:21 PM PDT
Oh
April 12th, 2008 at 3:17 PM PDT
Shoot! Finale Notepad only let me do 2 pages!
There goes that project…
April 13th, 2008 at 8:00 PM PDT
Actually, you can add measures. I forgot how. I know cuz i added measures in tgwp.
April 17th, 2008 at 9:19 PM PDT
This sucks. I couldn't do much since the trial expires. I'm in Final fantasy fanfare….. the fast part.
April 20th, 2008 at 8:55 PM PDT
Jon, are you there?
April 20th, 2008 at 9:10 PM PDT
yes i am, but i don't like how you are all spamming up this page with no useful stuff :S
Uhh….. are any of you close to being done your parts? I mean.. if I had continued i probably would have finished the song by now….
April 21st, 2008 at 11:03 AM PDT
Uhhhh my computer was down for a while. Don't worry, i got it back.
April 21st, 2008 at 6:56 PM PDT
I'm halfway to part 3, and I'm doing part 4 at the same time. No one's doing part 5 so you can do it if you want…
July 1st, 2008 at 8:54 AM PDT
I love playing the 1st part of the games we played and I've mastered the transcription that was posted, but what happened it seems like two months ago everyone just forgot about it?? According to the above comment I'll do my part and give part 5 a shot. Where is everyone??
July 1st, 2008 at 9:33 AM PDT
lol we didn't want to clog up this site comments so we've moved to the ffr forums
Uhm andy's done part 4, i'm 1/4 of the way done part 5, Andy should be starting part 3 soon.
Andy's not repying, nor is he sending the part 4 file to me :S so I don't actually know whether he's done or not.
July 20th, 2008 at 8:37 PM PDT
I already started part 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was in Japan btw
July 26th, 2008 at 7:01 PM PDT
part 3 srry
July 27th, 2008 at 7:20 AM PDT
I'm still anxious about this… I keep getting asked about a transcription so I appreciate your continuing work.
July 27th, 2008 at 9:18 AM PDT
ok torley, a bit of update:
Andy just sent me his part 4, I am incorporating it now
I'm almost done part 5 - 1 minute left… happens to be the last minute… the finale…. and it is annoying to transcribe..
so Amzy i'm waiting for your part 3 xD
good job peoples. It looks like we should be able to pull this off before the end of summer.
July 27th, 2008 at 5:10 PM PDT
You do realize that part 3 is the hardest part overall?
July 27th, 2008 at 5:12 PM PDT
And yeah… I cant do grace notes or change the key sig. so you gotta do that.
July 27th, 2008 at 5:14 PM PDT
Anyway….Monday thru Wednesday I have lotsa time to kill which is kinda unusual in my life so I can work on part 3 more often tomorrow.
July 27th, 2008 at 5:21 PM PDT
You probably want to update the fact that no sheet music exists, Torley. Sorry for all the comments I have all these things to say cuz I've been gone from the computer for such a long time!
July 29th, 2008 at 6:24 PM PDT
HelloOoOoOo……….I'm all alone…………..
August 3rd, 2008 at 6:21 AM PDT
@Amzy: I see your comments! I've put the info in my FAQ; I'll add a note to the top of this post too. Thx for the reminder!
September 14th, 2008 at 6:35 PM PDT
Hmm new skin?
Check the FFR thread for newest info I guess.
September 16th, 2008 at 8:28 PM PDT
Hey Torley, I just wanted to say that TGWP is one of the best pieces I've even heard.
I was wondering if you were planning on doing a "sequel" or were working on one?
September 16th, 2008 at 8:34 PM PDT
This guy's deaf o.O
No offense Torley
September 16th, 2008 at 8:42 PM PDT
no need to make it so blunt -__-
You don't know, today's technology is amazing. Maybe something new and revolutionary will come out some time.
Anyways, Beethoven was deaf too… Didn't he still survive and create masterpieces?
September 17th, 2008 at 7:17 PM PDT
Omfg yesterday I had half an hour of transcribing. I decided to fix my decisise battle left hand rythym, because it was screwed up. I got half a second of it in……………………………
September 20th, 2008 at 2:34 PM PDT
I'm not deaf, I have hyperacusis though, which makes it harder for me to hear. And my main challenge here is not being hands-on knowledgeable enough about conventional music notation… that's where I appreciate your help, transcribers!
@Brian: Thank you so much. Not planning on doing a sequel, but open to future possibilities.
September 22nd, 2008 at 12:01 PM PDT
Oh….Sorry….
You know, Torley, transcribing this is insanely hard. If you had a set rythym, I would be done by now xP
September 22nd, 2008 at 12:25 PM PDT
Gawd english is so boring.
September 28th, 2008 at 7:24 AM PDT
Hehehe.
