Total awesomeness! I really enjoyed the subtle orchestration and attention to dynamics and pacing. This really had me glued in the whole time. Gets the nostalgia glands goin big time.

just needed to say that i love the pacing of this - and when the trumpet comes in at the end - it feels so good and takes me to another place the original never did

good work - hope to see more in the future

Gorgonian! I saw your name on the front page and was like, "YES!" You were easily one of the (if not the singular) most promising orchestral arranger back on VGMix2, so it is incredibly exciting to see that you've continued your great arrangements.

That said, this is an exceptional piece. I feel like it really managed to avoid a lot of the cliches that most VG orchestral arrangements are prone to, which is a huge plus in my book. I think what really does it for me is that you managed to get a very full sound here - phenomenal orchestration.

In fact, if you wouldn't mind, I'd love to see a copy of the score.

Please, don't ever stop arranging/writing music. And please, submit more stuff to OCR so that we can all enjoy it!

Very simple and to the point arrangement. Sometimes going that direction is the best way to remix. Very beautifully and wonderfully created. I especially love the way the strings fade in the end.

10/10

Lovely work- i'm very happy you stuck it out on this one- It's a very classy arrangement of an incredible theme, and I'd love to hear more of your arrangements.

I really loved the ending, it was handled really well.

Wow.

This arrangement just sent some chills down my spine, which I'll admit happens very rarely, nowadays. Very subtle, yet it has a certain sublime quality to it that I can't pin. The arrangement is incredibly rich, yet it doesn't sound cluttered at all.

Wonderful - Orchestral arrangement at it's finest, folks. Just download it.

Incredible. I totally have to agree with what djp said - it's awesome to see a band director loving VGM! I wish mine did. And also, he's spot on with the Elsa's Procession vibe - I definitely pick up a Wagner feel. The arrangement of this is so great that I really don't care about any sort of production issues - nothing distracted me from the piece too much. Excellent stuff - I would love to hear more.

Default great mix!

I'm a sucker for orchestral arrangements and this one is definitely an amazing piece!! It's very inspirational and brings out the original very well! Truly magnificent, one of the few great pieces since Jeremy Soule's FFVI remix.

Keep it up. I'll be looking forward to more of your remixes that i'll hope to see in the future!

I have been hoping to listen to this remix for a week or two now, and I'm glad I finally found the time to listen. I absolutely love orchestral mixes and Final Fantasy VI is one of my favorite games, so this was simply an incredible combination. I always found Celes theme, in particular, to be a beautiful piece and you drew that out perfectly. The horn entrance at 2:58 along with that dramatic build up was my favorite part and simply wonderful to listen to :) .

Fabulous work! Please keep up with any other projects you are working on. If they are anything like this, I am sure they will be instant classics!
