coco_chanaynay Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Hi everyone!! PLEASE HELP! **I posted this in the Arts forum on accident, not sure how to remove it, but I figured that wasn't the right forum for this!** I'm sure most of you have played or at least heard of the Neopets Darkest Faerie game for PS2, it came out in 2005. I got it the year it came out and my little fourth grade self played that game literally every day until I finished it. And then I finished it about 16 more times... I've recently started playing it again, and I DEFINITELY remember there being an official website for the game around the time it came out, and there was some really good music on there. It had stuff like Tor and Roberta's bios. The music was different from the actual game soundtrack!! HOWEVER the website is gone!! I really want to find that music, I've been searching all over YouTube. Anyone who can help??? Or does anyone remember the website/music? I'm not crazy am I??? HELP!

life_eclectic Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Hi, I remember playing the game, but I don't think I ever visited the website. All I can find is a page on Neopets, http://www.neopets.com/thedarkestfaerie/index.phtml. Not sure if you have seen it. When I clicked the link to go to the official Darkest Faerie site, it takes me back to the main page for Neopets. There is a trailer that can be seen on the above mentioned page and music is playing, but I don't know if it's music that is in the game and might not be what you are talking about anyway. If that's not the music, I'm not sure how to find it. Good luck to you and no, you are not crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nielo Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Have you tried searching for the site on the Internet Archive? Snapshots of many old websites can be found there. I did some searching, and I found this snapshot of an old Darkest Faerie site. Is this the site you're looking for? (This snapshot is from 2005, there are a few more, you can check them here. The black vertical lines on the timeline indicate there was a snapshot taken, and you can click on a circled date on the calendar below. I tried some of the more recent snapshots, but they just re-direct to the Playstation website. The link from 2011 also works, and the website looks pretty much the same as it did in 2005.) smoss1 and Scoobert_Doo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saory Emanoelle Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I'm sorry I'm replying to this one as well, the other one doesn't seem to have the last reply? Like I said that, first of all, I'm sorry for replying to an old but I had to! So I freaked out to find someone else who remembers the music from the characters bio from the website! I've been listening to it since 2005 and God, I loved it. Then I learned the site was no longer available and I could never find it again, just like you. I also freaked out seeing the link to the website but the music doesn't play here with me :''( Can you confirm this? I really need that song again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not hearing any music on the Neopets link, but the Internet Archive link is working for me (music-wise). Have you tried enabling Flash? I'm using Firefox and the site showed the logo to indicate Flash wasn't activated. I had to refresh the site after activating it though, but the music is playing for me right now.

Thank you for the quick reply ^^ I'm checking this one: http://web.archive.org/web/20051231050251/http://www.us.playstation.com/Content/OGS/SCUS-97367/Site/content.html The only music that plays is the intro one, but when I click on any of the other menus (Like "Characters", which is the one I need) all music is gone :< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Internet Archive didn't save the music for this page (it takes snapshots of pages, but some things might no longer work), or maybe it broke some other way (Flash issues?), it's hard to say. I did a search on YouTube though, and found this playlist. Does it have the song(s) you're looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place where I found it was on the website I sent a message to the person who made the music for the game in the hopes he still has it. It was one of the best songs, I was really sad to discover it's not in the game :< Unless it's in a hidden file or something... Still, thanks for you reply ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, thanks for you reply ^^ Ah, right, sorry, I never actually played the game (or was aware of its existence before I joined TDN), so I hadn't realised that. I hope the composer can help you out. I assume you've messaged Jack Wall? I found a reference to another composer, David Kates, who apparently also wrote some songs for the game, so maybe you could try him as well?

I messaged Keith Leary only but I'll try to contact Mr. Jack and Mr. Kates as well!

bfidle Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hey, so I don't know if the TC or the other person here found the track that was originally requested, I apologize if this news comes too late, but the track that's on the website archive, the one that plays on the starting web page, is actually in game. It is the theme of the Endless Staircase. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCi3FTYEZRw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
