Goodbye midi! & quick poll

So as of Wednesday, I've been converting all of EJ's music over from midi to ogg (the Power Mode patch supports it) via the magic of SolMiRe. Unfortunately, this means a bigger download, so if you are one of the few people out there with 56k and it takes you a whole day/night to download 100mb... sorry! It's 2012!

You might wonder "Why bother?"

This is why:

How I hear the music:

How someone else might hear the same music track (NicoB for isntance):

And with the magic of soundfonts, it can sound like this!

The awesome thing about SolMiRe is that I can separate loud instrument tracks, edit them separately to lower the volume of that one instrument, and then add them back into the rest of the song.

Anyway, I'm almost done with this process, and plan on doing a Part 1 v1.4 update in a couple weeks. It'll contain the new music, a couple minor bugfixes, the new party select menu code (mentioned in my previous update), some graphic tweaks and some very minor dialog tweaks.

In Part 2 related stuffs, I have a Poll request:

For those of you that finished Part 1, what level did you finish at? I mainly want to find out the lowest possible level where you could start part 2. This is also an open challenge to anyone that wants to find out!
