Ha ha, yeah, I have heard a good bit about Lufia's music. I actually had a chance to check some of it out during a video game music contest on Gamefaqs a while back, I thought it was pretty good. I really want to play the Lufia games, but I'm a purist and I don't like to emulate, and the SNES games are kind of pricy, especially the second one, so...I'm just praying I get lucky at a garage sale or something. But I want to check out the music, so I've been eying the series for a long time.
Thank you very much, Parma Ham! Yeah, the video editing did take a while. This one featured the most transitions of any of the ones I've done. Windows Movie Maker makes it pretty easy, though. It took me a while to get used to it, but once I figured out the basics it's going a little more smoothly.
I've been playing bass for about fifteen years, since I was in high school, and I've been actively trying to play piano for about a year and a half, but I've had a keyboard for writing and goofing around with for about ten years. It's definitely a thing for bassists to go five-string, especially now with detuning and heavier rock and metal, but you're right, the standard four is much more common. It's honestly usually not even necessary, but it makes certain fingerings and positions easier, and it allows for slightly greater range, which I find in VG music to be really helpful. For some reason VG composers go a bit lower than the norm, I think because they're thinking along the lines of piano/orchestra instead of simply rock bass.
