(Eclipse)

I don't think most people have a problem with people reviewing the album and giving criticism, even if some of it is negative, but it shouldn't be a generalized statement of how much you don't like the album. I think people would prefer to have constructive criticism backed up by examples of the problems you had with certain songs. "Executives" at least made an attempt to do that, and that allowed people to see what his/her problem was with some of the songs. You can try to talk about differences between the terms "remix" and "arrangement" all you want in order to sidestep the issue, but the truth is that if you've visited this site before, you should have an idea of what to expect, no matter the term used to describe the music on this site. Of course, everyone is entitled to like what they like and hate what they hate. I'm not saying it's absolutely wrong to dislike this album. After all, preferences are preferences. However, if you really don't like anything about it, you really don't have to listen to it. Is it really so wrong to say that? I mean, I personally don't think mayonnaise is fit for human consumption, but I don't try to push people to stop eating it. I just don't eat it myself, even if I'm the one who made it. If you want to do a review for something you don't like, then, at the least, do it properly. In all honesty though, it seems a little ridiculous to try to do a review when one wanted the original source material, rather than the remixed/arranged versions that OCremix is known for.

I'm a bit amused by some of the people who aren't so interested in remixed versions of VG music, yet they decided to download the album, and even bothered to register to post in the forum. It's really simple: If you don't like remixes, don't even bother coming to this site. You can listen to the original tracks if that's what you really prefer. The remixes on this site are the reinterpretation of the remixers, and sometimes the results are incredibly different from the original. If you don't like a person's interpretation of a song, you are perfectly capable of not listening to it. If you're expecting the remixers to basically follow the songs 100% faithfully, with only the instrument samples updated, this is the wrong site to visit. It's all about the remixes and creative reinterpretation. Over the 8 or 9 years I've been visiting OCremix (I can't believe it's been that long!), it's always been like that. Of course, there are times when a certain remix just doesn't work for me, but I just go on with my life and delete the file. It's not a big deal.

Very cool album! A big thanks goes out to everyone involved in creating it! Out of the whole thing, there were really only a few tracks I didn't care for, two of which are simply because I don't like the original versions of those specific tracks to begin with. However, putting aside the few flaws I had issue with, this has been a very enjoyable album to listen to, and has been almost the only thing I've listened to for the past couple days. It always seemed that FF4 was one of the forgotten Final Fantasy games, as it was quickly overshadowed by later games in the series. One key issue was that the graphics and sounds became quickly outdated soon after FF4, and although I enjoyed that game, I always wanted to hear a different take on the music.
