Final Fantasy 10 'Ballad of the Sea'

I’ll say it here. Kaijin does good stuff. This sounds like a tune that, instead of being remixed, has come directly of an OSV CD. Regardless that I’m not crazy about it, it’s a very well done song. I enjoyed the guitar that came in around the middle (~1:40), easily my favourite area of the mix. 3/5

It's a great ReMix.. he added a lot of feeling to it - I almost cried.. but of course I'm an emotional guy anyways. ^^

Two thumbs up, five stars, 10/10, call it what you want.. this is a true work of art.

I like Kaijin's style a lot, and I congratulate him on being the first to ReMix FFX, and also ReMixing it before it or the soundtrack is out. This ReMix is astounding in a beautiful sense, but the drumline really ruined it for me. Overuse of crash cymbals here takes away from the natural beauty of Kaijin music. Overall, a nice work though. :D

agreed

This song moves emotions inside me that very little songs have the power to do. Kajin brings in so many things in this song, it seems that something horrible might've just happened, and indeed, the inspiration lifted by this song is innumerable.

This is the kidn of song that i judge priceless, and that i hope will remain in our hearts forever. The guitars at -1:17 are great, just throughly great.

Forever engraved deep in me, this mix gets a 8/10 just because i think everyone alive should hear this.

Good, no scratch that, amazing job.

What is that static in the background? The reverb is overdone. The arrangement itself is decent, but the drums sucked. Crash cymbals every 2 seconds is a NO NO on a ballad. Guitar part was cool, but not much else was really gripping. The ending just kinda ended out quickly, which didn't sound right since the song had an epic nature to it. Not bad, but not great either.

very nice stuff....although overusing the crash a bit too much it is still worth the download. If you are reading this then definitely download this

this is a good mix. the samples are there.

my one gripe is a creative one. i feel that Kaijin jumps in too soon with harmony. The melody is never really established, and as a result, i think the mix seems a little groundless. It jumps from one harmony to another, and there is no hint of what is being harmonized. blah. completely subjective, and i maintain that this is a very strong mix.

I like this...the wind effect sounds nice throughout the mix, but the overkill of crash cymbals is a bit much. Having just started playing FFX (I just got Lulu, Yuna, and Kimahri), I can really relate to this music already.

[MASTCONNOISSEUR]

Good stuff. The break is the middle is great. The start reminds me of Chinese rock. Brings back memories... Anyways, fantastic music. I recommend it fully.
