Can I take midis/sheet music/lyrics/mp3s from Final Fantasy Symphony to put on my own website?
You may take midis, sheet music and lyrics, so long as you give credit by providing a link back to Final Fantasy Symphony. You may not use the mp3s from Final Fantasy Symphony on your own website, as they are not intended to be shared and must be deleted from your computer within 24 hours. DO NOT directly link midi or sheet music files from Final Fantasy Symphony. This is defined as stealing bandwidth. You must upload the files on to your own webspace. Any attempt to directly link files will be recorded through the referral statistics that are viewable by the website Administrator and appropriate action will be taken against those abusing Final Fantasy Symphony's webspace and bandwidth.

Can I take images from Final Fantasy Symphony to use on my own website?
You may take photos and avatars, so long as you do not directly link the images. You may not take any graphics that are incorporated into the website's design.

Who designed the website for Final Fantasy Symphony? How did you do/make this?
The website was designed by the Administrator. If you are looking for helpful hints and tips about building websites, or are curious as to how the website was created, then feel free to email the Administrator, but bare in mind that she is a busy person who may not be able to reply immediately.

Can I copy your HTML code and use it in my own website design?
You are free to look at the HTML code as a reference for your own design or to gain ideas, but you may not copy and paste any of the HTML code which goes into the design of the website. This can be defined as stealing and will not be tolerated.

I want to download [this] but the link is broken?
It is possible that some of the links on the website return "404 page not found" or other error messages. If this is the case, please let us know about it by completing a broken link form, click here.

I can't open the sheet music files. What is the problem?
The sheet music pages are compressed into a single file called a "zip" file. Unless you have Windows XP, which recognises zip files, you will need to download a decompressor. The most popular decompressor program is WinZip which can be downloaded for free from www.download.com.

I missed the weekly mp3 last week. Can you send it to me?
Sorry, but we do not send mp3s via email or any other method other than through the website. If you miss an mp3, then you will just have to wait for the possibility that it may appear on the website again sometime.

Can you put [this] up as the next weekly mp3?
Sorry, but we do not take requests.

Why do you only put up one mp3 per week?
There are a couple of reasons. The first is that there simply isn't enough bandwidth available to put up more than one mp3 at a time. Secondly, we do not believe in offering full Final Fantasy soundtracks in the form of mp3s for free. The weekly mp3 service is intended only to give you samples of what soundtracks are available to buy online.

Do you have [this] midi or sheet music file and can you send it to me?
We have nothing else to offer than what is already available on the website. Please do not email the staff with requests for certain midis or sheet music.

Do you know where I can find [this]?
You may email staff members for things which you may be looking for, but you are much more likely to find your answer by going to the forums and asking your question there, as there are far more people to give you answers which will make it more likely that you will find what you are looking for.

Is it possible to get hold of the full orchestral score for One Winged Angel, Liberi Fatali or any other orchestrated Final Fantasy piece?
As far as we know, there are no fully orchestrated Final Fantasy scores available on the market. However, it is possible that there have been fan arrangements made for full orchestra that may be available on the internet, in which case the best place to start searching is www.nobuouematsu.com, which is an excellent Final Fantasy sheet music resource.

I would like to perform [this] Final Fantasy piece at a concert. Are there any copyright restrictions?
SquareEnix Co. (Ltd) charge a royalty fee for anyone who wants to perform and/or arrange Final Fantasy music for public performance, regardless of whether the concert is free admission or for charity/school events. You will need to fill in a "Request Permission to Arrange" form and send it directly to SquareEnix with a cheque which will cover you for one year. The form is available here: http://www.mpa.org/copyright/pta.html.

I would like to become a staff member at Final Fantasy Symphony, how do I become one?
You will have to check the staff vacancies page to see if there are any positions open. If there is, you may apply by filling in the application form provided. If there are no positions open, then we do not need any more staff members at present and will not be taking on any extra staff.
