OCR01521 - Final Fantasy X "Via"

[quoda]

How long has this utterly amazing remix been hiding in my music collection? Far too long. I've always loved the original, but when I was sorting through my music and I found this gem it gave me a far more awesome appreciation for the original song. Absolutely powerful and amazing.

I wish this song was 3 more minutes long if not more than that.

Having loved the FFX piano collection version this, this is even more awesome

But wow, when the song ended it caught me off guard being sucked into its awesomeness

Fastest 3 minutes ever!

The original song is beautiful and fits the mood of the scene it's in, but wow, you guys took it to another level! I'm listening to it for the 5th or 6th time on repeat right now and I'm just getting lost in the remix. It's wonderful and haunting too! Keep it up!

Beautiful harmonies throughout the song, there are several moments throughout the song that just grab your attention and hold onto it. All of the elements of the song are very cohesive, it always impresses me when collabs like this feel so natural

As I always say I'm still improving, and that song is over a year old now, so it's pretty unrepresentative of my performing now, but I do agree, when I look back and listen it's somethin that I could have worked on.

I know nothing of stringed instruments, but are you serious? The guitar fits perfectly in this song and I wouldn't want you to change a thing! This is a great mix, one of my favorites on the whole site. And if your guitar has improved? Well then even better, I look forward to hearing more from you

Everything was awesome except I think the lead guitar tone was a little overly brittle, and a little too far forward in the mix. Besides that, it was exceptionally good. Great beats, nice piano and acoustic guitar, and Jill sounds fantastic. A good atmosphere and nice melodies put me in a good mood anytime, and this mix does it all well.

I can't believe I haven't commented on this mix before. Absolutely beautiful interpretation. To me, it's like the song has been given a Motoi Sakuraba face-lift upon the original Via piano melody. Haunting female vocals? Check. Cool acoustic guitar strumming in the background? Check. Electric guitar licks plus solo? Double check. I also like the fact that you took the complexity and rhythm of the main piano melody from the Piano Collections version rather than the original in-game track. I love both, but the former is a bit cooler.
