m68030 Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Final Fantasy 'Hostility' Probably one of Pollard's rougher sounding mixes. The patches used just don't seem to be up to the caliber we've all come to expect from him. However, if you're looking for a good mix of FF1 battle music you don't have too many options, so don't turn your nose at it so quickly.

Gnam Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Brian Duque did it better. I know it sounds cold, but there's no way around those GM-ish synths. I like how it plays around with the score toward the end, and tries to the harpsichord thing, but ultimately the instumentation keeps it from ever getting off the ground.

Bummer Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 This a MIDI-explosion of a FF1 track! AARGH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceansAndrew Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Some of the additional arrangement parts sound great, like the strings and harpsichord halfway through, but some just don't really make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power Smoothie Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Yeah, I thought the Harpsichord-ey part really added to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 The arrangement isn't really that bad, and the part at 1:00 is pretty cool, but the sounds are lacking. Unfortunate, really, because this could have been better than it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMetal Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I'm not sure how I feel about this one. I really liked the little interlude from 1:04 to 1:25, but the rest of the mix really kinda turns me off. The percussion in the beginning and the end, especially the drums, doesn't sound that great to me is a little overpowering. I don't particularly like the horns, either, but I think they fit with what you're going for here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Cronos Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 This mix is a rather quick rendition with seemingly little to offer. But for some reason I really like this song. I don't really have a good reason, I just like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PriZm Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 There is not much to like here. The samples all sound very thin and the arrangement does not help. Parts like the one at 0:28 sound light, thin and uninspired. The tom roll at 0:38 sounds like something one would do to impress with his technical abilities, but it has really no place in the song. In fact, the drum sounds really experimental, which would be fine if there had been a solid texture to back it up, but there unfortunately isn't. The only good part, in my opinion, is the harpsichord part and it seems like totally original material to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Poor samples aside, there's not terribly much going on here - it has a rough basis for what could be a nice mix, but it's way too short at 1:46, with things clearly not explored very far leaving this song to become stale pretty fast.

Otakatt Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hrm.. I'm sorry but I'm just not a fan of this one. The NES/chip sound at the beginning didn't seem to fit at all, and then right after that it just dives on in. Overall this just sounds rough because of the samples used, the drums are kind of grating and boring to me, and there's just not a lot of artistic interpretation going on. When the harpsichord hit, I kinda perked because, 'Hey, different!' but it didn't last long at all, and that's what I wanted to hear more of. Not just another drums and generic rawk version of the FF1 battle theme. This song is pretty short too, which is good in this case as I can't imagine it dragging on longer... I see nothing else by ViolentRage so I can't comment there, however if you're looking for something from mp I'd recommend looking elsewhere. He's improved quite a bit since this song, and his other stuff is more quality imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesternZypher Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Feels it could've been part of the original game soundtrack - certainly drums that panicky feeling you might get when you're low on health and the Big Bad is chasing you around...
