Lufia II's been covered, but this is our first submission from the first of Taito's SNES RPG series. Sonic Blade's accompanying comments with this were so much fun I couldn't possibly leave y'all out of the action: "You're up against the biggest threat of your life. You're scared like a 3 year old at a Metallica concert. These four warlords are gonna EAT YOU FOR BREAKFAST. This is the first part of the remix, the symphonic part. It's admittedly not very scary, but I wasn't trying for scary. I was trying for...'moody'...and...'Get this thing accepted'. Then you wise up. Your punk-self can handle anything, right? The guitars come in, you get your courage back, and you start kicking @$$ all around town. Then you whoop the enemy and become the Pimp Of The World. The end." Now how can anyone resist a narrative like that? :) Nice instrumental work that does indeed, as promised, mutate into hyrbid orchestral / metal, with some ballsy guitars.

Here, with such a moving approach, it definitely could've been expanded upon. Sure, the sampled guitar hurts, but the song could be taken further to glorious heights, or an expansion of the sorrowful atmosphere. The ending just cuts it way too short!

Melody is very nice, sounds are used well, even if they aren't the greatest quality. I enjoyed this one up to the guitar.
Also, the submission comments...wow.

Beforehand was decent, though some of the string samples weren't very good, though they were used pretty well.
Enjoy the first half of the mix, but beware...

Music technology has really shot through the roof in the last couple years yet the sound design is still relevant and def enjoyable by today's standards. The strings then guitar combo is def a smart choice for the arrangement of this mix. The whole arrangement is build around building up and displaying the incredible melody of this. Def an emotive piece that is well executed and build around the basic principles of the source tune.

The guitar tone isn't as Metallica-ish as I assumed it would, but it sounded cool. I love the part (1:58/0:40) where the piece from the orignal blends in with the guitar. It made me wanna play Lufia again. Cool remix.
*revives topic from the dead*
edit:
oh yeah, the only thing i dont like about this remix is that it's too short :)

That is all.

Not good at all, this makes me sad. It’s really a horrible thing when a bit rate ruins a song, especially one so well done. I love this piece of music, but I wouldn’t listen to it much just because of the fact that the bit rate destroys it. Fix it, Sonic Blade.
