Game ReMixed: Final Fantasy 3

Comments: We are usually producing club songs designed for the dancefloor. We decided to try and remix a game song and make it into a club song that you can play at a party or such so people can dance to it. We hope you will like it!

FF3J, FF6J, I dunno what this is supposed to be from, so someone's gonna have to fill me in. Man, I hate to be glib, cuz you put some work into this in terms of having it sound clubby and authentic, but this was SOOO generic, it just doesn't have any uniqueness to it for the first 1:47.

Thank god we got something with a different structure after 1:47 to at least give a more unique take on things, before going back to the club trance at 2:42 and repeating what was used from 1:20-1:47, only for much longer now. At least the lead was changed at 3:36, though it was needlessly abrasive from then until the finish, IMO. There's also about 15 seconds of silence left at the end.

Even not recognizing the source tune specifically, you guys are just repeating a few bars of melody over and over and over with the trance genre adaption. There's just not enough about this that presents a substantially/significantly interpretive arrangement. There's just not enough depth to it. Doesn't have to be on par with a symphony or anything. Right now, it's lacking substance.

This repeats the same basic melodic theme at least 673 times. Sure there are some slight variations, but in practice it's the same idea being jammed into the listeners head with a mallet, over and over and over and over and over and over again.

House/trance/club remixes on OCR tend to employ a lot of melodic and harmonic variation. For this mix, you're dwelling on one idea for virtually 4 minutes making only slight changes to the rest of the texture around it. This may be fine for the "club" scene, but if you're going to rework this or submit a new mix, keep in mind that a lot more variation in the arrangement is going to be needed to put a trance mix like this one over the "bar."
