What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

I don't really like the first part - the melody sounds err... like midi, but after 0'58'' it gets a lot better. Nicely done; catchy beats, there is emotion in the piece, very likeable!

It needs ambience and much better drums. The instruments sound too simple. The tune is good and it sounds like it was programmed well. It's a pity I don't have any headphones, Cause I want to see if it actually does sound better over headphones.

That main instrument sounds so good, and yet the drums are so poor.

What can I say, I liked this piece a lot particularly the drums. I don't have a full understanding of how remixing is done with reverb and all that music jargon you all use. But keep in mind that Marc Star dosen't have all of the weapons at his disposal like Nobuo Uematsu. So he had to use whatever he had/could get his hands on. The thing about doing remixes of games on Next Gen Systems (I know the PSX is old) is that people expect you to out do the original which can sometimes be down right impossible. I must admit that it did sound a lot like a 16-bit game and if FF8 was on the SNES, that's what it would sound like.

Nice work Marc Star

What is this? Cheesy synth day? I usually like orchestral-techno blends but not this time. The synths just don't gel with the rest of the sounds. Good drums, good strings, neat jazzy bassline, but the synths really kill it.

Well, one has to admit that compared to most of the other mixes on this site, this does feel a little amateur... bland drum loop with a few other instruments sprinked on it. It doesn't do much and I didn't see the point, other than maybe this being Marc's first attempt at a remix and trying things out? It's not bad to listen to, nevertheless.

hmm. what song from ff8 is bein mixed here? i cant place my ear on it.
its sounds nice to me with da breakbeats(makes me wanna 'gasm everywhere). but i must agree, a lil bit more ambience. and at 0'58", if those snares were held a lil bit longer, that part would be made perfectly. they just were cut off way too soon. actually, all around the song, lengthen snares until the completely fade cuz it sounds like you just.....decapited(sp) them. other than that. 8/10 here.

EDIT: just caught on to what song this was. is this attack on dollet? if it is, i was just about to make a post on sumone doing a remix of that.

Wow, wtf. I love the drums. Very very cool and interesting rhythms. I dig that synth that everyone is whining about. Old school sounding. Really goes well with this tune's interesting ideas. Very cool.

There is some really high (like almost dog-whistle high) tone that sounds throughout the whole song. It starts right when the file starts and goes to the end. Weird. Hmmm.

I really liked this mix. It's full of cool ideas that are pulled off well and doesn't overstay its welcome. Nice job.

I really wanted to like this. I did. But I can't get over how much like the original it sounds, with just some changed instruments and a bit of interesting drum/bass work.
I guess I'm just too much in love with the original piece (Credit roll, End Titles). If you like this, I highly recommend checking that out as well.

IMO, the drums and percussion is just entirely too overwhelming, and for most of the first minute, the melody was barely audible. Still, it does seem to bring out the "SNES FF8" feeling that others mentioned, which may or may not have been intentional.
