I'll edit with my review later, but why do you say "Chaos" as the remixer name in the description, while it's listed as Psychrophyte? Just curious...

too tired to post review now, will do later. but right now, i want to bring this to everyone's attention: is it me, or does the saga frontier logo look like it says "salsa frontier"? for a long time i thought it was salsa because of that logo.

It seemed nice, but it felt like it was lacking something . . .

As for the Salsa, it's technically the SaGa series, and the capital G in that font looks like ls.

Overall, I liked teh Remix, just not the best I've heard here . . .

I'm trying to make it sound positive, but it feels like all my descriptions have a negative twist . . .

I liked it. It was good. Somethign about it seemed wrong, but didn't detract from the song. Or something to that effect.

Worst RPG ever? SaGa ownz! Major props to chaos for covering this game. I'm actually kind of jealous cause I'm working on a SaGa remix and was'nt the first one here to do it...

I too felt there was a bit lacking... maybe it's because I've been waiting so long for a SaGa mix and have been expecting the earth and the heavens from it. The piece had a very SaGa feel to it, eg. the drums at the just under two minutes which sound very familliar to the SaGa boss battlesAnother beef was the fact that I had always liked the song because of it's lack of loudness (shit, am I even making sense?). This mix seemed a little too in my face, ya know?

Anyway, regardless of all I said, I really REALLY liked this piece. I just tend to be over critical on work based on the greatest game of all time(imo). Download it, yo.

I'd have to agree that this is a very impressive piece, Chaos certainly knew what he was doing here.

Although Asellus' scenario is a bit too random for my tastes, I did enjoy the music from Chateau Aiguille. I could see an extended version of this playing in the final battle against Orlouge. While it's not technically battle music, it would be extremely fitting.

I myself have been thinking about a SaGa mix if I ever get serious and look into remixing, and I'd have quite a precedent to meet if I wanted to match this level of quality.

Great stuff, I'd recommend it for practically anyone with an affinity for classical-style music.

Quality stuff here. Nothing I don't like. Sounds good. I like the pause. Nice work.

To me, the percussion sounds seemed too... abrupt. The beginning of the final segment (1:45) was probably supposed to be dramatic, but it gave me the feeling that it was spliced in as an after thought. Perhaps I've just been listening to too much Russell Cox arrangements lately... :P
