I'm sure anyone who likes the music of Secret of Mana will enjoy this arrangement. It's a very intelligently written piece. The performance is fairly realistic.

I just don't like it. It's not entertaining. Perhaps it is a little bit as I try to think about it from a theoretical standpoint, but I simply don't like these sorts of piano pieces.

This is one of those mixes where you have to ignore how the source tune "flowed" to appreciate.
Nice song. Good talent you got there. Stick around, I know ocr is gonna <3 ya.

I originally heard this in RPGamer, and was impressed with it then, and am still impressed when I listen to it now. I find that the flavoring of the original tune throughout fits very well while leaving a lot of room for additions and alterations.

Good to see this on OCRemix. I heard it a while back and absolutely loved it. I'm still a fan of the original sample though. To me is sounded crisper and cleaner. Awesome arrangement though.

The player shows skill, but it just sounds boring and mechanical to me. Also, the quality of the recording isn't that great.

The use of dynamics in this piece is superb. It's the recording quality that makes it harder to notice.

Anyway...
I LOVE this to death.
So much personality, excellent ideas that flow together really well. Just amazing stuff, I especially like the first moments.

Hope you keep remixing, man!

EDIT: Forgot to mention that the contrast between softer and more agitated parts is really well done. Impressive arrengment skills.

This remix definitely will make any Secret of Mana fan smile. In my first listen-through, there were some sections where I did not totally "get." But after listening to it a couple of times, I have a better understanding as to what the remixer was going for. I think that it'll take some time for this remix to definitely grow on me. Nonetheless, I don't think that anyone can deny that this is an amazing and equally impressive performance.

Good work, Jormungand.

Oh man, where to start. I'm a fan of piano arrangements that are well put together. This song is no exception. The feeling is on a whole new level. As stated in the comments, the composer and player of the piano, Jormungand, has a very unique playing style.

This song also has an added bonus for me, as I can visualize things through listening to this song. Picture this: It's fall and you're standing in front of a huge stone mansion. Inside you can hear the sounds of a piano, simple notes to start, but then more complex as the notes seem to rebound off of each other. You step through a huge wooden door hinged with black iron and begin to follow the sounds of the piano growing ever louder. Running through the halls, feet beating down on the cherry maple floor, the piano begins to reach a peak that almost makes you want to cry. You need to find this piano, you think you've found the room, but when you burst through the iron-wrought doors, you find nothing, and the playing slows down to an almost dismal level. Now it sounds as if it's accross the mansion. Heart beating faster, you blast through the doors oncest again, while the notes from the piano pick up faster and louder. Dynamic as it is, you're almost mad with delight as you burst through opening to find a piano... but no one playing. Your heart sinks, and you begin to leave. As you pass through the huge door entrance, you smile a small smile as the piano picks up again. So the chase is on...

Perhaps that was too elaborate, but I couldn't stop myself. Anyway, that's what I feel about this piece.
