The Ultimate Video Game Soundtrack Planning/Discussion topic

Ok we all already knwo the gist of it-Make a sexy soundtrack. Here we will discuss just HOW MANY of types of songs we need like:

-Town
-Dungeon
-Battle
-Event
-System (title screen options credits etc)
-Character themes.

Lets assume this is a full fledged RPG, and is 3-4 discs long.(the ost not the game) If this whole thing works out, we MAY make an RP that will use this soundtrack, if so, you will need to add a character theme for yourself. Post all actual links to music suggestions in catbread's topic. And uh.........DISCUSS STUFF HERE. I say we could have about:

15 town themes
20 dungeon themes
15 battle themes (victory themes/game over NOT included)
25 event themes
1 theme for each character,unless they intend to have an "alternate version" like if they go evil or die or have a sad version

I think it depends on how many suggestions we get/ideas we have.
As long as we don't have too many or too few of a specific type we need (too many battle themes, not enough town themes, etc) the number of em doesn't really matter.
500-1000 songs why the hell not

But I'm wondering, what should the "standards" be exactly? How do we pick what actually gets in and stays out? I was going to just put all suggestions in for now, but that might be bad...

How about...all suggestions go in automatically, and if there's one nobody likes, or should be replaced, there can be a vote in this or the suggestions thread on whether to take the song out.
That way we wouldn't have to waste time approving the thousands of incoming suggestions, most of which will be good anyway.

Good idea.

I think we should take MY ideas and look at them.

what are they

Put them in the actual topic

Do you mean that you put them in the actual topic?

If so I did look at them and will be adding them just as soon as I can pay attention to something for more than a minute

It might be a few weeks
