a mix from AP wtf?

me likes. this is one of my favorite songs from fft and i've heard that none of the tracks are easy to remix. either way, this is a refreshing take on the original.

Well around 0:47 there are a few piano intervals that I'm not really too fond of. I suppose that I might have improper habits of covering up those kinds of intervals with support, but that's just a preference.

I like the change around 0:56. It's a nice mood change.

I find the section around 2:20 with the incoming strings part very sweet. I can't remember the original off the top of my head, so I'm not sure which parts here are original and which are not, but the harmonies and melody here are very nice.

There are a few notes around 3:19 that sound a little weird perhaps, but nothing major. The bass drum and snare in their simple nature I think are very fitting.

Something around 4:50 sounds a little weird to me, and a little later, it seems to me that some of the samples might have intonation problems together, but ehh other than that the rest was very appealing to my ears.

The sfx from the game I thought were a nice touch, following suit with the title and such. Very nice job.

I usually fool around with editing the ID3 tags while I listen to a new mix, but overall, this was such an engaging track that I forgot to touch the ID3 tag and stuck simply to listening to the mix. There were a few issues, sure, but overall this is some tight work from Antonio Pizza, servin' us a quality slice. Have some extra sauce with that pizza, birthday boy!

I think this mix held up quite well overall. I may be biased into liking this mix just because I love the FFT soundtrack and am currently playing through the game for a 6th time, or something like that. Anyways, I'm glad you were able to keep the original melody fully intact while yet slowly deconstructing the shell. The samples and instruments may not be Gigastudio style, but they sound good anyways, and some of the ways you put them together were actually downright original and cool sounding. This is more of an arrangement instrumentally then melodically, but it's refreshing; with moments of minimalism and even a hint of trance (0'57" to 1'11"). Nicely done AP! :D

I find it quite annoying when people say something is "interesting." instead of an honest good or bad. But this one i must say really is....."interesting" I am in love iwth the Final Fantasy Tactics soundtrack, and the way the songs are composed, i think the composer must have been a genius to remix; because when remixing this kind of music, you have very few options.Techno, jazz, and everything else would be crazy. But what i appreciate the most is how this remix focuses on teh main feelings you get when you hear the song. Some parts make you want to go out there and fight the world's tougest boss, and other parts move you, and make you realize what a sad and intricate storyline this game has. Bravo, Disciple of the Mix.

Hmm, I expected it to pick up somewhere within the first 3 minutes and it never did... the intro coulda been a bit shorter. The piano (if nothing else) felt like it hit a few wrong notes too...
When it finally did pick up, it didnt build much and just died back down a minute later anyway, and then had a minute long closing...
Kinda like going to see a movie where the previews and credits are longer than the movie itself :P
But you still get points for a promising and unique start.
7 nice works out of 10

Oddly enough, the constant fluttering piano in the high registers in the background gives me flashbacks to climbing the Sky Palace in the 3rd World of Final Fantasy Legend...I don't know what it is. But a captivating feel this song has.

Overall great remix... which is saying a lot because I never like people who did those "minimal" remixes... But I adore FF Tactics and the music that came with it as I adore this remix... The ending was a bit risky in taking, but it didn't hurt the song, so I would say give it a 8.5 out of 10...and a worthy download to all FF Tactics lovers... Keep up the good work

I love the original theme, so I'm naturally biased towards this piece favorably. However, this remix was a bit too minimalistic for me at times, sometimes even seeming bare and uninteresting. Don't get me wrong--it's on my playlist and likely to stay there--it's just not my favorite. (7/10 on the Zelphinometer)
