Mordicantflame Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 Wow, as soon as I heard that little cell phone tone a humongous grin spread across my face. It was quite unexpected, but a good surprise. Heh, wonderful remix. Keep up the good work. Quote
blindstrike Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 i really enjoyed this! this is most likely my favorite peice from the FFIX soundtrack and it's much like the original, but it's more. and i think it's awesome Quote
YellowYoshi1 Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 The original track is the only music in a game combined with the events happening at the same time that actually summoned tears to my face. That part is just so sad =( This remix gives it a bit of an uplift and it isnt as depressing because it has more loudness to it. I just love it. =) 99% Quote
RimFrost the Tourianist Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Lovely guitar solo in the middle ,, BUT far too short in length this remix is. Quote
NeoS Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 Great! This is one of the best songs from all the final fantasy series, and you captured the essence of this song (not overdoing it) by just adding a sologuitar. And the beats aren't uptight, they sound really cool. Keep it up. N. Quote
tyler_lucero Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Exellent solo guitar. The mixing is supurb, everything blends perfectly. Only one conplaint: Too Short! I want more... Great work overall though. I got chills my first time through. Quote
Dragonblade Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 I've always loved "You Are Not Alone" from FF9. Such a touching song. Anyway, it just became my favorite due to two awesome remixes: this one ("You are not confined") and "Safety in Numbers." Again, AWESOME REMIXES!!! Kudos to all you guys who create this great music!

FinalGamer Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 I loved this song, this remix is excellent. The guitar and synthesiser (I think it is), work real well together and bring the emotions from that song right out. 9/10, excellent! Quote
Red Light District Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Very...relaxing.. it's very deep, the base is perfect. Quote
TAT_PKN Posted June 12, 2005 Posted June 12, 2005 Yup, You're not alone can be considered as 1 of 2 best songs in FFIX, and this remix is...GREAT! I usually hear my brother play it on his computer whenever I'm home from school . Quote
SakakiAzu Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Very nice. Relaxing, oddly for a guitar like this, but it is...... Very nice. 9/10 Quote
I_Love_OC_ReMixes Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 Sounds quite like the original but still good none the less. Quote
Ichitootah Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 This is going to sound like a trivial complaint, but one of the notes in the first part is wrong. Happens at about 0:33, and again at 1:01. Listen to the original, then listen to this. Woops. It doesn't sound to me like an intentional change; I think Sonicade just put in the wrong note. It sounds very intentional to me. Not good, but intentional. He's playing the "right" notes more quietly in a different instrument at the same time, so I'm pretty sure the louder ("wrong") notes are supposed to be some sort of harmony. I don't think it works, but that's just one person's opinion. Edit: I just realized that Temporal's comment was more than a year old. Oh well. Quote
nardman Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 this is one of my all time favorite(original) songs in the final fantasy series. I've played and beatin all from 3 to 10pt2. So i've heard a lot of good ones. This mix does sound remarkably close to the original though. Quote
Disco Dan Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 I was going through my "temporary mp3" folder tonight with the intentions of deleting and organizing files because, like my room, it's a mess. When I was judging remix submissions, I'd forget to delete the tracks after voting on them, so that made up a good deal of it too. ANYway, I stumbled upon this track while weeding out the crap, and was pleasantly surprised. It's very unassuming, and sticks pretty much exclusively to the original, but I couldn't help thinking that I had no idea what I would do to make it better, because it seems perfect as it is. It's one of those songs that gives me chills. Noice work! Quote

mrp Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 This is my favorite Final Fantasy IX remix. I feel it expresses the mood of that scene better than the original. Very well done. Quote

ChaosPlayer Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 Not bad...Smooth and distant music. Quote
Marmiduke Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 The guitar work recieves star-billing in this, and rightly so. It's brilliantly performed and emotionally strong enough to carry the weight of the other elements that let it down. I didn't really click with the other instrument choices, things dropped out of harmony noticeably and I was also searching frantically for some expansion on the original theme. These issues, as well as a small grievance at the length, disappointed. But, as I said, the guitar lends it a lot of impact and covers a lot of the holes for as long as it sticks around. At these times, the mix is a real winner. But realistically, this is a flawed mix with some very clear signs of promise for improvement. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 I always thought the source track for this one was really cheesy, but the more subdued arrangement to this track made the melody a lot more palatable to me. Nice beats and synths, nice guitar, and a very tasteful way to represent the theme. Unassuming, but it has a lot of charm. Quote

Nice beats and synths, nice guitar, and a very tasteful way to represent the theme. Unassuming, but it has a lot of charm. Wow, OA, you nailed it. This is a wonderful take on the material - true to its source, only softer and easier, an enjoyable listen. Not in your face, but lots of charm. Quote
