Default OCR00510 - Final Fantasy VI 'Kefka Goes West'

Final Fantasy 6 'Kefka Goes West'

Once upon a time, there was a shortage of Kefka remixes. Then along came NoppZ and filled the void with a very funky remix of our favorite FF villian music, complete with an interlude based on none other than the Veldt theme. Instrumentation is great here - gotta love the organ stabs, and the guitars on Wild Wild West! Transitions are well executed, which is rare for a song with such distinct sections. My only complaint is the absence of Kefka's laugh! That's gotta be the most classing sound in FF history...

I absolutely adore this music. I just want to get in bed and cuddle with it. No, but seriously, this remix is good because it's fun. It's fun to listen to. It's two songs in one. But overall: It's Kefka. :P But, I think I agree with orkybash. Where's the Kefka laugh?! Ok, right. Anyways, rating, rating? I dunno. It's not quite a five, yet it's definitely not a 4. We'll go with 4.7/5. Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing: "?"

This arrangement is simply groovin'. Awesome stuff you got goin here. I'm not very good in the way of giving advice and analyzing the piece... all I can say is that I was very satisified with your remix and I couldn't have asked for better.

Hey, great stuff! I like the change in rhythym on the melody, the drums are cool, as are the accompaniment. The Veldt theme rocks also. If I could change one thing about this remix, however, I would have to say that the last repeat of the melody is not necessary. We've heard it several times already, why play it again? I thought the artist was going to do something cool with it, like incorporate the Veldt theme or instruments into Kefka's theme, but it just didn't happen.

AHHH! I can't believe there are so few reviews on this!!! This song should have hundreds upon hundreds of reviews all claiming it's excellence!!!

Really!! This definitely ranks in my top 5 OCRemixes of all time. There's just something about it, I can't even explain. I turned a friend of mine on to it as well, and since we found it about a year or so ago it's yet to get old. I love the break in the middle, and especially the beginning (mainly at :22, and again in the end at 3:49, which are just points of meltiness.) There is nothing about this mix that I don't like. It has such an evil, devious tone to it. So Kefka. When I become a video game villain (you just wait,) this will be my theme.

Ahh, nothing but praises, I'm sorry. Everyone needs to download it.

A favorite among favorites. This song's rendition of Wild Wild West is the best I've heard.

Very, very good remix -- it flits between chill and intensity, sifting back and forth effortlessly.

Ok, perhaps my analogies aren't up to par today, but I'm on my first cup of coffee.

Download it.

Seriously, download this mix right now. I'll wait.



Welcome back. See what I mean?

I've heard this mix probably sixty times, and each time it feels like something new is happening. Especially the oft-hailed transition portion. You simply won't believe how deft and effortless Noppz makes the transition to Wild Wild West. I know I didn't.

One of the top ten mixes on the site.
