Talk:Ciel Wulfe

This talk page will be used primarily for OOC notes. I will list some of the songs, here, which I use for performances and RP.

Disclaimer: I'm no song-writer, myself! Of all the material I use in character, I have exactly ONE poem which was written by me: The Tale of Kupuri Kap.

In order to make up for my own inability to write music, I do borrow from various sources, and this can be from a variety of genres. I am, however, very careful about which songs I select. If a song doesn't have a certain sound, or if the lyrics don't fit the game's setting in some way and can't easily be altered to work, I don't use it.

First Annual Royal Ball

For the First Annual Royal Ball event, it was suggested that we (myself and Elan) use songs from Distant Worlds. This presented something of a challenge. While all of the music from Distant Worlds is remarkable, most of it is still instrumental, and then there are a couple of tracks in Latin, namely, One Winged Angel and Fithos Lusec Vicos Vinosec, neither of which really seemed to... fit the setting of a happy occasion like this one. Some improvising was necessary.

In order to complete my list for this event, I tapped other sources within the realm of Final Fantasy, most of which I'd even forgotten about. The songs used are listed below in no particular order.

• Eyes On Me - Final Fantasy VIII/Distant Worlds

• Diamonds In My Heart - Chocobo Racing OST

• Into the Light - Final Fantasy: Pray vocal collection

• Pray - Final Fantasy: Pray vocal collection

• Kiss Me Goodbye - Final Fantasy XII OST

• Love Will Grow - Final Fantasy: Love Will Grow vocal collection

• Melodies of Life - Final Fantasy IX/Distant Worlds - This one was performed as a duet between myself and Elan, at the request of Erik Mynhier.

About the duet: It took 8-9 macros for EACH of us to complete this song, with cues built in. Elan said it took about 5 hours to build all of the macros and test them to make sure everything flowed smoothly. I'd say it was a success!

General Use

The songs listed below are ones I have used in tavern and small public performances, and may use them again in the future. This list, also, may continue to grow as I add to Ciel's repertoire. As above, these songs are listed in no particular order. Try not to laugh if you recognize some of them. I have no qualms about tapping metal ballads for ideas if they sound good.

What I tried to do was come up with a set of 3-4 songs for each of the three primary cities. I never did get around to completing these lists, except for Limsa, and the three I had for that area are at the top of the list.

• Ocean Gypsy - Blackmore's Night

• Sailorman's Hymn - Kamelot

• Goddess of the Sea Mist - Laura Powers

• Ghost of a Rose - Blackmore's Night

• World of Stone - Blackmore's Night

• Soldier of Fortune - Blackmore's Night/Deep Purple

• Village Lanterne - Blackmore's Night

I also did have a version of Free Bird macro'd, aka Free Bard. It was a direct result of random shouts for the character to sing Free Bird whenever she was performing in a public setting. Never got a chance to use it. Funnily enough, it only took four macros.
