A nice arrangement of light soothing sounds mixed with a slightly
heavier drum line. Solid arrangement and nice instrumentation. Pretty
cool.

This remix relies quite a bit on the main melody, which tends to wear out after a while (I've had this song for a long time, though.. it doesn't die out THAT quickly). Even so, it's a great remix, with good arrangement and use of a variety of sounds. Not exactly upbeat or downbeat, but a good listen.

Okay, call me another drifting Otaku, but I personally think that the best part of this remix was that it kept Hikaru Midorikawa's (The voice actor for Fei, as well as Hiiro Yui, as it were) scream; somehow, it's just a nice touch.

By the way, noone will know who I am, and this is probably my first and only post here; I have no interest in remixing except as it related to using music in order to enhance my role Playing. Heh.

But kudos

All I have to say is that this is not your average ReMix, and I feel that that is one of its strong points. I must also give props to the variety of different sounds, especially the drums.

I also liked the fact that it stayed true to the original, but he also made it his own. Props.

I've had this remix for quite a while now, and I liked it from I heard ti first time. this is a good remix, and to think of it's age.
also, the voices don't really fit in, but as I said, I really enjoy the remix.

this has always been one of my personal favorite songs from the soundtrack, and this remix is a very good rendition... after listening through it a few times, some of it sounds a bit like it came straight from the game and was distorted at certain points. I like this version, and the Fei thing was a very nice touch.. kudos to you!

I'm not really digging this one. To me, it seems like a basic rip with drums and some in game samples. The drums are pretty cool, but it just seems to similar to the original.

Overall it felt quiet.

I know the source vaguely, and it feels very similar to what I remember. I don't know how much variation was going on, but it seems that there isn't much.

Overall I can't grasp too much that interests me any more than the source would. Sorry.

I don't really care for the stall and restart of the song around the minute and a half mark, it's just too long a gap. I don't think that this is the right approach to this song. The original source is a haunting a depressing piece and in many aspects you remain rather faithful to the original, which isn't a bad thing in of itself. But because you try to remain faithful and still expand into the jungle-like beat, the song seems torn as it is going in two opposite directions. being less faithful to the source would have improved this mix in my opinion.
