Parts of this remind me of Megaman and other parts remind me of Sublime. And it's final fantasy go figure.

I am huge fan of all three of those, so mix automatically gets 2 thumbs up from me.

Besides that jazz, this is a pretty enjoyable listen. I think the highlight of this mix is def all of the different guitar sounds being blended together. Variation is well done, it keeps the mix moving at a good pace while giving the listener something different to groove to every so often.

More DoD goodness! I still love this track, though I can barely identify a quarter of the tracks, despite how bloody familiar they sound.

Top notch job. In comparison to the last medley posted, the transitions are a bit more fluid.

Definitely a keeper.

This has been one of my favorite DoD songs since it came out. Glad you submitted it here and got accepted. Love the mix of CT and FF7 battle themes towards the end. they flow so well together. Anyway, keep up the great work, and submit something soon for DoD and/or here.

Oh my.

LuIzA on OCR, and with Fire Cross no less. There is no doubt that Fire Cross is one of your finest works, Miss Carvalho!

I guess this is the first OCremix that I listened to which features recognizable ska influences - even considering Faxanadu's "GoofySka". When I read your comment on the victory fanfare as a bonus, I thought "Well, others did this before..." but I wasn't prepared for this nice little gimmick. A suitable ending for an excellent track. Rock on!

Hope to hear more from you on OCR.

Jeez, you were right about us Goat fans feeling right at home.
Awesome as hell. Reminds me a bit of the other battle medley that has ff4 and ff6 songs in it.
Anyhow, good stuff and an excellent "first impression".
Are you single, by any chance?

Here I was hoping for a remix of a track from FF1, but alas, it's an another medley. Not necessarily anything wrong with it, but FF1 sure deserve some more attention.

Okay, no more negative feelings, I need to start focus here. My interest got piqued when I noticed that Gilgamesh's theme was in this arrangement, which is actually a very good thing since I happen to like that theme but also because FF5 needs some more remixes too. After that came World Revolution, Hunter's Chance, Conde Petie, Gilgamesh again, Fighting, Don't Be Afraid, a small piece of the Battle theme and then ended with the Fanfare after a brief pause.

What can I say? Excellent electric guitar, heavy drums along with a furious and chaotic bass, all these ingredients are essential to make a foot-thumping and head-banging creation such as this one. However, my favorite part wasn't the arrangement of Gilgamesh's theme, but instead Conde Petie. The acoustic guitar, that italian instrument what's-its-name and the organ. I loved that part. Created a very calm and french atmosphere, soothened your nerves until the remix picked up the bass again and continued with its rampage.

This song needs to grow on you, it seemed very rough when I first gave it a listen but it gradually started to appeal to me and now I simply want it. Kickass remix, and therefore, a kickass remixer. Nice work.
