7/10. Crazy stuff. Is nicely done, though i'm not a fan of the source tune. In 0:48 enters some kind of bass which I disliked.
Nice arrangement of the theme with steel drums.
Is not the kind of music I'm used to hear, but a nice work anyway. You've done an outstanding remix if we compare to the source tune.

Whoo, my computer's speakers are again expressing distaste for the music I listen to.

I have to agree that the Chocobo theme is quite inane. Great intro, but this track still too repetitive to me (I did like Bionic Electronica tho now that I think about it, and that was really repetitive). I want to like this more, because percussion heavy tracks always rule.

Ah, to go back in history to the place where the first chocobo originated, quite the historical moment for us FF lovers. Although that there is plenty of chocobo remixes on this site, it can never hurt to listen to one more.

When it comes down to this one, it took its time to build up enough energy to start. When the conga drums began to make their move at 0:30, it caught my interest immediately, which made me want to listen to the rest. I'm glad that I did.

I don't know what kind of instruments it is, I believe it's pan flutes, but no matter what the case, it sounds awesome with the other african samples. I like it how the instruments are being added one by one, it starts with just a lonely synth and a small drumroll, and then ends with something that could resemblance a brazilian football game.

I like it alot, ya?

Everyone has more complicated things to say about all these remixes than I do. All I know is I like what I hear. Woo.

The hoo hoo's! YESSSS!

Wow, this remix is so exciting. I liked the snare roll you threw in at the beggining. I was like "OMG, what will ever happen next?". I LOVE the rainforest drum vibe going on. This is such a nice remix. It's got Chocobo written all over it. Wark!

9 out of 10

Yeah, I am that famous. I know.

Very energetic and light-hearted. It's kind of a break from all the recent epic and/or operatic stuff we've been getting. This certainly uses a lot of interesting sounds and ethnic instruments which makes me think it won't sound too out of place on one of those Korg workstation music demos.

Very enjoyable mix. One thing that I really enjoyed is at the beginning the melody is being played with a harmony set at a fifth. I was expecting this to be the same at the end when the theme restated itself, but instead it was replaced by a much more prominent (string?) sound with no harmonization. Very skillfully executed. Thank you for submitting it.
