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

Wow man, very tight stuff. Great groove and great sounds throughout. Could be recorded louder, however. Reverb on bass kick not so hot either. But other than that, its quite awesome.

[The Orichalcon]

Yay! Well done sephire. Good to see this piece up on OCR.

Nothing to say except download, It's very well put together. :)

Okay... I like the dark mood, and I have a weakness for complex piano lines. However, the ostinato (basic structure D-A-D'-Bb-G-A-Bg-G-A) continues throughout the entire four minutes. While its initial introduction lends incomparable power to the ambiance, the repitition seems to me to drag the piece down. I would have suggested mixing it up in any of the following ways:

- Bringing it to the fore in the mix again, with added complexity (flourishes, intermediate pitches between the main arrival points)

- Adding some modulations (standard ones, like taking it into C, F and/or Bb major, as opposed to D minor, and some more drastic, Wingless-style ones, like Ab).

Ostinato lines are all well and good, but longer ones work better than shorter ones. This one is only one measure and needs change to lend the piece direction.

Like this. Bear in mind that this is very basic, low quality, and merely a suggestion as far as how I would do it at one point in the song.

Also, some of the fills in the drum pattern irked me as well. The fill in the third bar of each phrase seemed to me that it would work better in the fourth bar. This is a minor, and probably personal, concern. I like the overall sound of the kit you used.

In all, this is solidly constructed. The occasional dissonance lends a more sinister aspect to the melancholy you've already established. Good show. Those were my only two concerns.

congratulations Sephfire.

I've been watching this mix for months on the WIP board, and i always had high hopes for it.

I'm glad you finally got this great peice accepted. work of art man. good job.

ditto, this has been a lot to follow, i notice a lot of differences from the original and this is just pure gold not to be on OCR. i had a hard time figuring out the newer versions and the changes made but this piece is really bad ass. when i get the speakers from my basement into my dorm i'll blast this one real loud along with a couple of other FF mixes until the cops come and yell at me...but congrats anyway

[Zaku II]

This song is very cool. I can't really say anything bad about it.

[Mr. Merc Kage]

Dark..a tint of venom to it. Nicely done..

[Savior Sephiroth]

Very cool. I like the Sephirothy undertones.

[Nine Ten Doh]

Don't know what the hell I'm thinking of, using all this French. Anyway, this theme is very very low and mean. It feels like a scene in a movie where the bad guy prepares for the search, while the good guy prepares to fight and/or evade the bad guy. Most clearly, though, it feels like a lost theme from the great movie with Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones, The Fugitive. It has that cat-and-mouse kind of feel to it, with undertones of misunderstood evil and completely understood evil warring with each other. Yet another calm-before-the-storm theme, just like the ones my grandpa used to play. Ok, he never did, but you can imagine what it'd be like if he did, right? No? Ok then. Moving on.
