Very nice remix.
I may seem very partial FF music,
but thats only because I am a big fan of the FF series.
Very nice vocals in this one.
Also, I like the constant beat that's going on in the foreground of this piece. Very nice.
Keep up the good work.

Forgive me for being maybe a little too honest, but it is my firm belief that this song+techno does not work. I mean, let's face it, the rigid beat doesn't help Eyes on Me's gentle melody at all. In fact, it's kinda contradictory.

I guess my only problem with the piece is that the instrumental is utterly anti-romantic. I certainly wouldn't recommend it.

I think EyesOnMe CAN work in a fast-paced techno style, but only does so decently here. The pounding rhythm was perhaps a bit too powerful, however, for it completely drowned out the rather excellent vocals. Perhaps a different or slightly toned down drumline would better accentuate the singing. I still definitely enjoyed this remix, however.

I agree as well...Call me a sucker for the romantics but this song seemed more heart-felt...And just some songs arent made out to be made to be in that style...Still an ok song...Just something I wouldnt really listen to that much..

Default Im very sorry bout this, but WHAT was THAT

i hated this song, its a mockery of everything this song stands for in the game. instead of a calm melody with plenty of space and a good beat, you turned it into a monster that was basically a hip hop version. This song dont work well with hip hop. :

If you make another one ever please make it more like the real song, just more orchestra like
:)

This is one of my top ten songs on the site. I love the theme, i love the game, i love the vocals, i love trance, so for me this was an amazing piece of work. I am doing a ff8 love grows piece that sticks close to the feel this is supposed to have. I just hope it does this theme justice. I love this mix a lot, and i think there should be more mixes of this theme and ff8 in general.

*Dances around in his chair*

I'm with robochar. Thsi was really well done for Eyes On Me. The point of this site, I thought, was not to make the songs identical to their original counterparts. This changes the mood completely while keeping the idealistic optimism of the vocals clear throughout. I could see this made into an FF8 music video...in fact, I suggest it to anyone who has the skill and the will.
