Not too long after his FF9 jungle / d'n'b submission, newcomer Epoch returns with an FF8 submission in the same vein, covering the 'Find Your Way' and 'Sacrifrice' themes in his own style. From the intro alone you know there'll be some nice breakbeat manipulation work at play, along with the same dropping-sub bass he used in the FF9 ReMix. Layered beats, rapidly retriggered vocal samples (again of an MC-nature and not from the actual game), and some nice twists and turns are all present. The second 'theme' enters at 1'57" as a swelling organ bit that fits nicely with the already established groove. Not very subtle, but definitely edgy, chances are if you enjoy the genre and liked Epoch's first submission, you'll dig this well-crafted follow-up track.

Fantasy VIII 'Final Jungle Fantasy'[/URL]
This track features some good pop tech with a steady speed, grabbing my interest through the whole track. The only con to the track is, in my opinion, the unnecessary use of your standard "what what" beat-box, MC Hammer, pop rap much more suitable for Jet Grind Radio. Not really my thing outside of it.
Score: 7.5/10 "Acceptable"

Not quite feeling this one, There are some pretty distinct jungle
elements here, but I am having a hard time finding the source. Like
super hard.
It's decent enough, but doesn't really get my attention in any way.
Gonna have to give this one the thumbs down. :-(

This is a great track and all, but how is it jungle? I'd say it's
more j-style hardcore than anything... I'm really digging the bass
drops, it's a good track.

This mix should have gotten alot of more posts. I really liked it,
though, I did think that the techno was so overemphasized that the
original score was lost in it. I mean, don't get me wrong, this mix
was slammin'... but it just seemed like the original score was
lost.

Im amazed a mix this old is still getting posts!
Im really glad some of you like this song, i personally hate it (its true!)
Even i think i strayed too far from the original on this one, but i was bored and so this was born :p
Oh yes and your right i was known as epoch for a while, you may also remember me as:
Bad Execute, Pheonix, Epoch, ViperX, V2i or Liquid Neon
I have multiple personality nickname disorder 8O

After listening to the three offending articles, I can barely pick
out any resemblence between A Sacrifice and Find your Way, and
FinalJungleFantasy.
But, I don't really find that important. It's still mostly good. It's a bit Challange-esque (battle versus Seymour Flux), but mostly good. But if cheese resembled Kefka, this remix evokes thoughts of Kefka on LSD. Whilst dead.
i.e. no resemblence to the origin.
But mostly good! Good effort!
Edit: Actually, no. Sorry. I'll be honest; this is worst than FF10-2. This remix, OK- I'll stomach the techno- brutal, but not Skedar, is bad. Not only does it have only one recognisable piece (and that is minor, altered and techno'd) but it is not well arranged. Sorry. Try posting this as Seymour Xluf, or something like that.

Were´nt your name Epoch? Got a little confused when pretzel siad one thing, the remix information said different, and now you comes around and...so confused.
For your remix, I can admit that this clearly was not my style, I liked that synth in the beginning, but when you released the jungle, it just became too much. Too many beats and stuff, but this actually reminds of NeedForSpeed, very hectic and alot of kewl drums.
Nice work Epoch, I mean Phoenix, no wait Neondude. Thanks.
So confused.

This sounds like a collection of random sounds layerd on top of a
broken back beat. I'm sorry, but this song (if it can be called
that) bears absolutely zero resemblance to the original. When I
first heard it, I thought it was another joke mix along the lines
of "Cool Cool Schala" but...the date wasn't April 1, and I wasn't
laughing.
Harsh? Maybe. But I tell it like it is.
rating: 1/10

Couldn't remember this among the many scores of FF remixes, so
pulled it out of my HD and lent an ear to it for about 3 and a half
minutes.
Liked what my ear told me :P
Good voice samples, which aren't overused. Interesting arrangement... Not bad, just interesting. And, umm, yeah... Decent stuff, I guess.
Not too big of a fan of techno, but I still give an occasional listen :)

Final Fantasy 8 'Final Jungle Fantasy'
Awesome experimentation with some very interesting sounds here, and that’s one extremely deep sliding bass. Excellent voice samples, and break beat drums to match. Doesn’t sound much like the Rural jungle, but defiantly fits the Urban Jungle. Absolutely amazing, DJ Pheonix, I love it.
