REAL change of pace from McVaffe, who in this really catchy FF3 ReMix (I think he'll have a really long monopoly on ReMixes of this game!) uses a drum loop to accompany a touching little piano ditty. It's REALLY addictive, and could be used to great effect on any given anime romance like Orange Road, Video Girl Ai, or what not. Mostly piano, true to form, but also true to form flute and strings come in to join in the mirth. I suggest having a few beers and a good-sized dosage of prozac and listening to this song 50 times in a row. It's sure to cure you of whatever melancholy happens to persist in your life, guaranteed. Of course, I'm not a doctor, and any medical advice I give is purely guesswork. Good to see McVaffe still in da scene, and going in new directions as well. I'd download this one for sure.
Discussion: Latest 15 comments/reviews; view the Wow. That chord change at about :38 is very moving. Once again,
another great minimalist take on a Final Fantasy VI theme.

Very pretty rendition of the theme; a little like the younger
brother of a sweeping orchestral version of the theme. I like the
gounded feeling of this, and also the added injection of modern
style to the mix.
It's a perky version, but not too saccharine; a perfect balance of sweetness and melody. I also enjoyed the changes in arrangement and the altered direction of the notes. Maybe it is a tad amiable, but being a McVaffe mix of utmost quality, it's a hard ditty to resist. A pleasure.

I really find the original annoying, and this remix makes me almost
like it, so I'd say it accomplishes a good thing. ;-)

I'm really feeling the lofi vinyl-looped drums and the strings
here; I think the piano could have used a little more delay for it
to be perfect, but this still something pretty awesome. Subtle
melody changes throughout, and a nice balance; it evokes a rainy
spring day. I think it follows the source a bit too verbatim, but
there was enough deviation to save this gem from the lockdowns,
though probably just barely. I certainly wouldnt complained about
some additional expansion or interpretation.
Of all the OCR artists, I think Mcvaffe is the most represented in my personal playlist, and tracks like this are a pretty good example why.

Brilliant, it seems that Vaffdude can´t do a remix that´s bad, this
is clealy no exception. As a pianofreak like myself, I totally
digged this remix, and for the rest of you, download it anyway,
it´s sweet, got characters and it has some real good drums to it.
:D

I thought about this track while washing dishes at subway and it
brought a tear to my eye.
That's a powerful track.

A tad cheesy for my taste...it sounds like two Yaoi characters are
sharing a candlelit dinner, or something odd as such. And besides,
the bagpipes from Relm's original song are gone. Ho hum. Nice
effort though.

Power-packed with uplifting emotion, this is an example of why
McVaffe is the man I miss the most out of all of the artists who've
moved on from the community. Monkey Machine, another ReMixer from
days gone by, said it all: the lo-fi and piano hit the
heartstrings. This is one of those cases in which I think a mix is
so good it could replace the original in a remake.
Thanks, 'Vaffe, wherever you are. :)

Beautiful work here; nice plain piano work with vibrant (but not
disturbing) drumline...brings out the best in a somewhat melancholy
song (the original, that is). Great work McVaffe.

Ok, I'm gonna be the first to say something negative, just because
I'm like that. This is great and very relaxing, everything is
wonderful and lovely, and I enjoyed this mix very much, BUT those
drums are driving me crazy! lose them! I heard the first four notes
and thought, "hey, this is gonna be a good one" then came the
drums... :x Of course, im just a fan of the orchestral/piano thing,
so I'm probably the only one who thinks so.

I like this song alot - it's very sweet! But I have a question, and
I've never played FFVI before, so you'll have to bear with me, but
why do I hear "Eyes on Me" from FFVIII in there? Sorry if this is a
dumb question... Anyway, keep up the good work!!!

This song is almost harshly beautifull, i love everything about
it.
simple piano, good little strings, and that great little low quality drum. Its all that was left to remix on this underused FFVI character !

Three words. This song rules. McVaffe = God, no question. How does
he do the piano...? Wow...
