ah this is tifa's theme isn't it?

Yeah the beginning isn't too interesting, it's nice and mellow, but that brass instrument isn't great quality.

oh no, theremin's journey! I hate that lead. (The whistling sound.) too much slur on it.

This is well arranged, but it's boring to me. I've heard better arrangements of Tifa's theme. The piano arrangement off the soundtrack is great.

Not my type of piece at all unfortunately.

True, the mix does start kinda flat. And that Brass sound was kinda poor quality. But to be honest, FF7 started kinda flat, too. And the in-game music, in some parts, was of the same poor quality. (I'm thinking of Barret's theme.) So as far as I'm concerned, Risen Dayspring is just working off the source material. Besides, FF7 ended up being one of the greatest games of all time. The same is true for this mix. Keep up the good work RD.

I think at the beginning s/he was trying to use instruments similar to the actual game soundtrack. Then 2:40 he allows other instruments to take over the leads. This song is really really technical. Its amazing to think that this isn't live. It sounds too good. around 4:19 you should add a soundclip of a crowd cheering and clapping (like live concerts). Good song, very clear on the original, and yet very creative in bringing it out.

EDIT: isn't this Aeris' theme? (when u first go to her house after the church)

I'm actually surprised this got through. I can't listen to the whole thing. It doesn't get much better after the beginning, I don't think.

No good.

Boring song + Boring arrangement = Eh.

The thing doesn't move anywhere, it starts slow and STAYS slow. Adding instruments isn't doing anything other than running the thing into a wall repeatedly. There's no variation.

If the song was 1 minute long, maybe it wouldn't matter, but it's too long and doesn't do anything.

The instrument quality is subpar, but that's not really a problem to me. After all, it's all synthy anyways.

I really like this. It is wonderful to listen to. I'm going to loop it on winamp for a few hours :D

sounds like a midi file, but that aside it just doesn't do it for me.
