Hey guys,

So I'm thinking I need to change this song at the start of the game in Rikalia Castle. I currently have Rufus' Welcoming Ceremony, but I don't really want that to be one of the first songs the player hears when he starts. I've been looking all over the net, but I don't really know of any other good "ceremony" or "parade" sounding tunes. Do you all have any suggestions? Hopefully not something too recognizable...

Search for "march" or "parade" or "ceremony" or... something.

How about the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company march by Sousa?

Not quite. Sorry, I should've specified I that I need it to be in MP3 format. Also, that one isn't quite powerful enough (it's a little too light and fluffy) when compared to the other songs in my game.

EDIT: Also, Craze, that's what I've been doing, but I haven't had any luck.
How's this: http://rpgmaker.net/users/GreatRedSpirit/locker/01__Dragon_Force_Main_Theme.mp3
It does drop down for a bit and it doesn't loop well though. I'll see if I can find anything else too.

*edit*
It's a Saturn game too so nobody could possibly recognize it either! :v
Good decision, it was a fitting song but...FF7. :V

Check out some Russian military marches...you can find many via Russia's various regional military bands' albums etc. I've always had a weird liking for them, so I'll go through my collection and see if I can suggest some songs. On that note, I was going to use the Preobrajensky March myself but it will be a while before I get to that area of my game, haha. It might be fitting for Rikalia Castle.
It really is hard to find a theme that might fit an imperial parade! I tried to find something that might mesh well with the other tracks you have in the game, and these are the results. Best I could find really.

There's a softer version too (which won't fit in my locker ATM). Loops like a bitch too, but I can guarantee you it won't be recognized because
1) PC game
2) from a German developer
3) That never released the game and went out of business :v
Wow, thanks for all of the quick responses guys! I appreciate the help.

mellytan, I think I like your suggestion the best so far. I looked through some of the marches online, and I think I like this one the best:

I thought about posting that one, but I felt it might be a little too "light" for him.
I agree with BurningTyger, you should checkout adelhyde castle music from Wild Arms, their music is great.
Edit - My bad i think it's Adlehyde Castle

Nico, I like Rufus's' March quite well- I think it fits the scene, and I honestly didn't think "FFVII" when hearing it.
If you don't want to open with it, use another celebratory tune, such as Wild Arms' "Ancient Civilization Exhibition"or its Alter Code F remix, then use the March as a fanfare to announce the arrival of Marcellus and the King to the crowd below.
