*points at Pollard* HE did it! :D

Yeah, I really didn't have any more of a hand in this than I did in the original that you can find on SQUAREDANCE. But lemme say this: This version is total hardcore 0wnage. I told Pollard this when he first reworked it, and, like, I dunno what else to say. It fuxing rocks. MP usually goes with breaks, but he definitely has that same versatility that I like to think I have. I wholly hope he makes some more industrial techno in the future. :)

Meant to post before at songs I loved (especially Suikoden), but never have I felt obligated to overcome my laziness until I heard the break at about 1'28" in this song. Absolutely amazing. What strikes me is how similar it is to a portion of a song in Wing Commander: Privateer, a DOS space flight sim from about '94 with some very excellent ambient music.

I'm not crazy about nuances in backbeats and whatnot, although your head-bobbing percussion certainly doesn't detract from the song. However, I just keep sending the slider to 1'28" and listening from that section on with a wide nostalgic grin, and have recommended it to all my compatriots who have a place in their hearts for Privateer. Excellent job guys, and thanks!

I say its about damn time. And boy is it a good remix. As soon as teh first notes popped up i was like "awsome song to remix" and remixed so well. We all know my (and alot of others peoples opinions) about FFMQ with my wonderful thread i started http://remix.overclocked.org/phpBB2/...=quest&start=0. It was very grand. about 1000 views. im so proud. but seriously we need to get more FFMQ remix's going here. and this is a damn good kick start.

I love FFMQ, and the music from Mystic Quest is truly awesome. Beatdrop and mp picked my favorite song from the game to remix. This electronica is so hard you can beat your kids with it. I fiddled with this Mt. Gale theme for a while but couldn't get anything to work for me, and I'm glad to see the contrary happened in this case. Excellent remix, and bring on the Mystic Quest remixes!

No one can complain about this one. Thanks for turning up a new FFMQ Remix.

At the risk of having an unpopular opinion, I'd have to say that I found no redeeming qualities contained in this piece whatsoever.

2 percussion track solos (which honestly go nowhere other than "I have good samples") are stuck in at the beginning and middle of the song for the purpose of ... well, adding length, I suppose. If you don't enjoy the first fifteen seconds of the song, you probably won't enjoy the rest of it.

The actual melody of the song might have been ear-pleasing if not for the distortion stuck in for the purpose of... well, distorting the instrument, I suppose. If you enjoy abrupt lapses in the melodies of your favourite songs however, this piece is probably going to be your favorite OC remix of all time as it has plenty of those.

The outtro is about as elegant as the rest of the piece; a cheerful flourish that lasts for a fraction of a second followed by abrupt silence. This represents... well, the artist's boredom with his work, I suppose. Considering that's where I was about eight seconds in, I don't blame him.

Well, I don't like MQ that much at all, but the music is fine. I like this mix although I would have to agree with The Nephian on the ending. I don't enjoy abrupt endings like that so much so.....yeah. But otherwise I think the remix is great. Haven't played MQ in forever but I remember this song because of how much I used to play it lol. Good job guys.
