Very mellow work here. Please don't allow mellow to me mediocre at any level. Very soft and gentle compared to a lot of your work. The dynamic shift works quite well! Congrats again (as though you really need it at this point ;) ).

The ending is a bit abrupt, but before that is some pretty awesome work. Intro strings build the chords really nicely and transition into the song proper pretty naturally.

Backing pizzicato strings and pitchshifting synths sound great, and the cameo of The search for the sacred sword was sweet. The ending I really don't understand, as I think it could have used a larger buildup. The ending seems more natural after repeated listenings however.

In conclusion, this is an amazing soundtrack and the more FFA mixes, the better, Mega Man be damned.

I'm not familiar with the source tune, but this was still a really nice piece. The transition at 1:30 really opens up the song, as all these exciting little bits of percussion fly in and the guitar soon afterward - as I was listening to the song the first time, I was like "this could use a really cool transition", and there it was! I feel like it winds down too soon afterward, but you certainly left me wanting more.

Very nice laid back track. Always happy to see more FFA musical goodness.

Guitar was def a nice touch. I wish some of the transitions would have had more a thematic build-up but then again the track would loose some of it's subtle feel.

The sound quality is def good. The string work really added a lot of depth to the sections. Def my favorite out the recent flurry of mixes posted.

In many ways I like this better than your more recent mixes. Namely, it actually feels like it would fit the genre - I could easily see this being a part of the Final Fantasy 10 soundtrack, walking the world... the game had nice world/culture design, and its music reflected that, as would this.

This remix definitely has a RPG-ish feeling to it, i.e. it sounds true to its origins. Which is nice; you don't get that too often.

As was said before, the transition at 1:30 is pretty sweet. The song could've used more of this, as it is a very interesting change of pace and instrumentation.

Polished and varied, this mix exemplifies the sound I've come to associate with OCReMix over the years. It's as though the site has spawned a genre, but I digress.

A mix of ethnic and electronic percussion rounds out the bottum, with a melodic drum set pulling double duty as bass. layers of strings overhead weave a complex structure of gently shifting chords and...I'm making this sound like a savanah aren't I? Anyway, it's a good mix.

Yay oboe! This site needs more oboe, if you ask me.

Lovely melody, and a very nice listen. The write-up brings back good memories, too. Whether or not that helps this mix, I dunno, but if it does it's a good thing.

Guitar work is nice, the style seemed out of place at first, but now I'm digging it. Percussion also works very well.

Would have liked a little more out of the ending, maybe a quiet piano outtro. Overall great work.

This has "soundtrack" writtenn all over it. Would've worked perfect in a remake of the game. The only thing I don't really like is the guitar-lead, the vibratos are just.. no fun

Otherwise, beautiful arrangement, great mood, good use of percussion and different instruments.
