Music Size

[Kija]

I am thinking of possibly going back to the other music before the very large wavs were put into place. There are three of them: battle, ambush, and the title screen. Together, they are 5.04 megabytes in size. That is a very large put of the game size just for three music files; the total size of the game is 12.1 megabytes. We still have the older midis from what they use to be, which are smaller and sound just as good.

Is it worth it to have to download an extra 5.04 megabytes just for three music files, especially those who have slow internet connections?

There's not a way we can edit the music to make it smaller either, eh?

Tral will know a way to compress music files to make them smaller and/or convert smaller ones to make them bigger..

[Kija]

Even if they could be made small enough, which compared to a midi would still be pretty big, it would greatly damage the quality. It would sound very bad, worse than a midi file. I do not think it would be too bad to use the older files. Most people do not even prefer the current battle music because it feels too slow and not as exciting. The previous file is smaller and does not have those problems.

Makes sense to me, and i do not mind which happens.

I'm fine with it and all, just wanted to make sure there isn't already a possibility we could've overlooked. Not that I say we make mistakes. Plus, I always did like Symphonic Battle better than the Current Battle Theme.
