Final Fantasy 6 'Gau's Lament'

The intro of this reminded me of those church piano songs they play when everyone's walking in (ok, I won't talk about that anymore). Mostly a straight piano solo affair here, but we've got strings and flutes which come in near the second half. Not too long like most of McVaffe's piano arrangements, and the quality is as good as always. If you're a sucker for this stuff then you'll get sucked in. Good work by the big M.C.V.A.F.F.E.

McVaffe definitely has so much talent yet untapped, and this is proof. Every piece of work I've heard by him is very well done, and I must say this is one of them. But I also know that there's so much more he can learn to make his music even better.

Gau's theme is my favorite song in Final Fantasy VI, mainly because it's a touching melody. McVaffe is one of my favorite remixers on this site, mainly because his talent is incredible, and I became hooked with his Ryu (Street Fighter 2) remix... Also, I love the simplicity of just putting a great game song to piano melody (Shout out to Spekkosaurus on his Earthbound remix)... So, I'm sure you can see how much of a review I'm going to give this piece... This is one of those rare songs that I feel is an extention of what the original composer had in mind... Gau's theme does not fit techno music, and to put it to techno would be revolting...

The song is a bit short though, but this is a song that works perfectly well just to sit and put on repeat for an hour or two, it's that great...

10/10 on this one definately.

Dang! SCORE! Great song i am thinking that this deserves a 9/10 McVaffe is becoming my favorite person here. The big problem is the end, it just ends you know?

great piano solo and all...recommended to download but...to bad its a bit too short...keep it up!

This song is great, but lose that flute. It's out of tune (and it shouldn't be because of vibrato, okay? The flute has an air vibrato, not a tuned one), and it just made the song about ten times less enjoyable.

Every other element really makes the song shine, though. Great work.

I really like this! It's a peaceful, beautiful rendition of one of my favorite FF themes. I myself didn't find the flute an issue. Maybe it was off - I wasn't paying SUCH close attention - but I thought it was a nice touch. Either way, this is great stuff :)

"Draped in monster hides, eyes shining with intelligence. A youth surviving against all odds..."

This is Gau´s profile, the original track gave away that feeling of a lonely child without parents and home, but Vaffe enlarged that feel with this mix, piano and flutes are very good instrument choises. This makes me wanna cry.

So sweetly melancholy... the piano arrangement is just what this song needed.

Gau was such a sweetie too... "Mr. Thou!!!" *giggles*
