THis is great, it will get a lot of listening from my part, original, great interpretation, I have no clue which songs these are though...

Default FF?

This is, unless I'm completely insane, from Final Fantasy 7, not the original Final Fantasy. The Sephiroth theme, I think. It plays somewhere in Nibelheim, anyway. Except... for the end. That's that generic theme they all play, right? I'm not sure. But from the beginning to the middle is definitely 7.

Edit: Right, that last bit is Terra's theme. I'm a retard.

This is a pretty impressive mix. I can only name one song and I may be wrong at that... I think there's a good bit of Those Chosen by the Planet from FFVII in there... I could be wrong

I guess that would explain the name of the mix really...

Terra's Theme is also prominent in the end.

Yeah, there is definately some FF7 in this. I swear, I can hear a bit of FF8 in it too. The music played during the garden battle, when the gardens collide. It has an odd appeal to me. I like it. I hear the FF6 too. This is a great remix. I really like it, because it blends some good songs together. Whjeres the FF9 though :P

Yeah, the ID3 tag says:

(FF7) - Those Chosen By The Planet
(FF - Liberi Fatali
(FF9) - Kuja's Theme
(FF6) - Terra's Theme

Personally, it didn't do much for me. It was pretty interesting for the first few minutes, but I think it sort of lacked the kind of "punch" I expect from this genre. Maybe it was the samples...I wasn't too impressed by them. The ending was also abrupt...there should be something after the Terra segment to let people know you're about to end the mix. Perhaps a recap to the beginning.

There's also "click"-ing here and there. Slightly annoying.

Overall, though, the arrangement and flow is pretty durn good. Recommended for any FF fan.

(Oh yeah, and the BTW, it's spelled "MEDLEY," kthxbye.)

Listen to it with headphones...

At 1:55, there's a slight glitch, as well as 1:58.

I have a very sharp ear.

You probably don't even need headphones to hear the glitches...there were several, right from the intro up to almost the end, which I heard through speakers.

As for the arrangement itself...hm. I have mixed feelings on this one. A lot of parts sounded like simply layering two songs on top each other, toss in a drum loop and some modulated arpeggios, lather rinse repeat. Then again, in some parts the juxtaposition of melodies created an interesting mood or harmony not heard in the originals.

Dunno, still on the fence here after several listens...

I wish this mix would be redone with better samples.

The arrangement itself has some great ideas that come out suprisingly well, but sample quality and technical issues lessen my opinion of this ReMix.
