-The fifth 'chord' of bar 3: the Bn should be a Bb.
-The last 'chord' of bar 3: the Cn should be a C#.
-The fifth 'chord' of bar 4: the Fn should be an F#.

Fixed

-There's a bit of an accel going in the pickup into bar 1 in the original.

Honestly? The accel is so negligible, that I think I'm just going to leave it as-is. I hope that's alright.

Never make me review something like that again.

how do you think I felt when making the arrangement?

Fair enough, I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Hey at least you had a choice.

Approved!

[Latios212]

Done, done and done.  On the second point I've manually misaligned those quavers slightly to give it a little more space.

And third submission:

This is a replacement of one of my older submissions, which I'd like to include because a) it fits thematically, b) my formatting was garbage at the time and I'd like to eventually replace all of my first few submissions, c) it was accepted without a proper indication of character, which I really want to have for each of my arrangements.

Sure, no problem. Including.

Anyway, second submission:

(I linked this video because it wasn't a 30 min extended version, but the official English name is just "Esto Gaza". Also, I think Insig's going to like the harmonies in this one.)

This is really nice, everything looks on point here. Glad to see more Final Fantasy stuff being put up (the site could sure use it...) Approving!

This looks pretty good, just got two comments.
-In the version I found, there's an extra bar after 41 (2nd time) before it goes back to bar 1 that you've missed out here.
-The bass moves in bar 33 and maybe consider putting that in, either instead of the chords or in addition to (by cutting the right hand note early the right hand could play those chords).

Fourth Chapter - On the Ground: 

Never make me review something like that again.

- Fix the 8va/repeat brackets around m. 37.
- I'm having a hard time following past m. 38. The sheet looks completely innocuous past there and it doesn't seem to match the heaviness and dissonance of the original at all...

[Static]

• Watch the G/A collision in m. 12. I would strongly recommend using 3 measures per system when you have the continuous 16th notes, as the cross-staff beams are quite short since this section is quite cramped.
• The middle layer in m. 13-14 doesn't match the original. Did you shift some notes around to fit with the melody?

Adjusted the measure spacing. And yeah, I moved the middle layer around a bit. It's not exactly what's in the original, but I think it works for the piece and keeps the same style and sound, while also making it more comfortable to play.

-My main comment about this is what's going on with the left hand?  It's not so much of a problem later in the arrangement, but I feel like in the first two systems in particular I'm not sure what the sheet gains from the extra added in notes.  Especially the fact that adding in bass notes in bars 1-4 means that we lose the bass 'coming in' in bar 5 from the original.  You could have the first four bars with just chords, or try to incorporate some of the other weird stuff going on there instead.
-You could probably cut down on bars by using repeats, but I'm not sure it'd be enough to fit it on one sheet though so probably not worth it.
-Your staff size is a little too small.  I'd bring it up to 6mm.
-Everything else looks accurate.  Only accuracy thing I've got is in bar 35 I'm hearing the bass like in bar 33 (as in A E A rather than A E G).

For the LH: At the beginning, the only other prominent instrument is the drum set, so I put a simple rhythm there to emulate the feel there; otherwise, it sound kind of empty. I feel like the rhythm change in m5 is enough to highlight the new bassline.

Everything else has been fixed.

also please include your octopath sheets

We agreed to add Flamesgrace, and I see you've already added it to the OP, there you go lol

Thanks for the feedback!

Nice yay approve

Hmm ok, it's a bit of a subjective thing anyway.  Changes look good.

Yeah I perhaps gave up too easily when making this arrangement and I could do a better job.  I've updated the files.

- Fix the 8va/repeat brackets around m. 37.

It looks completely fine to me so it's something wrong with one of our finales.  I can't really edit it to fix it when it looks fine to me.  Maybe someone else could see what it looks like for them?

Levi - Secret Mine
- m. 2 beat 3 RH should be A-C (different from m. 10!)
- In m. 6 and 14 you put a courtesy Dn in the RH but not the LH. Just wanted to point that out, up to you what you want to do with it, if anything.
- m. 26 LH beat 2.5 sounds like an Eb instead of C. Makes sense too because parallel sixths.
- You could consider changing from 15ma to 8va at m. 19 instead of 23 to avoid ledger lines below the RH staff. But if you want to keep it at the section change, that's fine too.

Looks good otherwise!

- never caught that... sounds so strange now...
- ooh, thank you (courtesy accidentals strike again!)
- sounds right
- looking at it, while I see no ledger line problems if they were to go up an octave, I sorta like the idea of the 8va indicating the next section, so if it's alright I'm going to keep it where it is

Thank you much, Latios!

- how did I never add that in?... fixed
- I never caught that, either (go figure... it was one of my "12 Days" sheets). How does that look?

Thanks, Libera! I also updated the LH articulations a little, if you would like to give your input on my new changes.

Folder files changed again.

Looks great!  And no worries about missing those things out, strange things just sometimes happen.

  I'm so happy you guys are doing this for me!
