[Hakulyte]

Braum may actually be the hardest file to AAA in terms of difficulty spike, but Emotional Adventure pick up with 32nd within 16th making it slightly harder on consistency.

They were both pretty fun to play, didn't notice anything abnormal.

[ULTIMEGA]

Not exactly that hard, honestly. Still really nice songs to play, especially Emotional Adventure. I cannot tell you how many scenes that song can go with.

Very nice files overall, guys.

[DissonantMuse]

I'm not great at judging difficulties on files but I feel Braum could possibly be bumped up a couple levels in difficulty. Definitely had some tricky parts for a 25.

If there has ever been a greater sign that FFR needs to redo its genres, it's that "Braum," a 2014 song featuring nykelharpa that was created electronically for a video game soundrack, is somehow "Classical".
And worse, considering the other options available, it actually makes sense.

I kind of want to make a thread for that. What's worse is that we still have Funk with a grand total of (drumroll...) seven funk songs, and then a bunch of jazz when jazz is in no way a sub-genre or even related to funk. I guess it's because there were like six funk Synthlight files right at the start of FFR.

A more useful categorization for FFR might look something like this:

Rock, Dance (EDM and pop), Other electronic (non-dance e.g. breakcore, idm, downtempo, etc), Classical & Orchestral (currently some orchestral is in Other and some is in Classical), Hip Hop, Bit Music & Chiptune (not "Arcade" because game arrangements are currently split between here and their actual genre e.g. rock arrangements), Jazz, Other

Unfortunately electronic (including EDM) might be even better further-subdivided since the game is so concentrated with it.
