This is pretty kickin'. I'm loving the sounds. I agree with you, Pretz, you can barely tell this is battle music. I love how the song is so familiar, yet so new. That's what I look for in remixes. Very well done. Good job, Quinn.

wellll beginning was coming along nicely, sounded like some of QF's other stuff until i caught a couple of *eh* sounding notes. maybe its just me, but a couple notes werent sounding too nice for me.
besides that, sounds pretty good, dunno what else to say =X djp pretty much sums it up nicely. now that i listen to it more, the notes are fitting a little better. give it a try

Quinn couples his synthlike ambience with a jazzy touch. The synths and pads are all perfect, with drums that ooze flavor. The recording and mixing is also a notch above quinn's normal releases. I've had this for some months now and I've yet to tire of it. I have nothing to really complain about. This is what Quinn mixes are all about. If you're unfortunate enough not to have heard of QF, I highly recommend grabbing this and mamabrain. Smashing work by any standard.

A seem to remember Quinn mentioning that she is actually a FEMALE... am I just crazy?

Anyway, Quinn is probably my favorite remixer on here, and it's nice to see a different approach taken... This kind of seems to me what the FFVI battle theme would sound like if it was in Phantasy Star II, which is appropriate considering Quinn's remixing history. That said, this one just doesn't strike me QUITE as much as QF's other mixes... Maybe I'm just a sucker for Phantasy Star mixes. I DO really dig the part starting at 1:50. Very smooth. Keep up the good work! You're mixes are always a delight to listen to!!

Just to set the record straight should anyone hinge on a doubt...

MALE.

With that out of the way, just want to say "thanks" to those who are listening, and double thanks for the encouraging words. While doing FF6 is fun, I'm back in Phantasy Star mode now. Hope I can still manage to do it some sort of justice, that legendary Phantasy Star series......

Cheers to all Phantasy Star fans, everywhere.

~Quinn

Okay, I am just crazy then! Sorry for the mix-up, I seem to remember hearing that! Anyway, regardless of your sex, I'm glad to hear some more Phantasy Star mixes are in the works! I can hardly wait!!

I don't usually post on the boards, I hang out in the IRC channel (I'm lifeless, hohohoh)...I just gotta say that this is my favorite remix so far out of all of Quinn Fox's that I've heard. Turning the FF6 battle music into groovitacious ear candy...oh man, I can't turn it off!!!!

Good job on this. :D

I like it... smooth. Unfortunatly, it's smooth enough where the ending will slip right by you, if you're not listening intently to it, but regardless, I still liked this one a lot.

Perfect mix, man. I usually wouldn't say anything, especially since I already said something on VGMix 'for it went down, but I gotta say it again.

This is great. And that's a lot coming from me.
