orkybash Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Final Fantasy VI 'Phantom Midnight' I personally really liked this piece. The arrangement is straightforward, yes, but it's strength lies more in the emotion it lends the song rather than in showing it in a new light. Not the greatest FF mix here, but worth a download unless you have something against the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veovis Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Who doesn't like the Phantom Forest? This arrangement has, like everyone has said, emotion to it, and a kind of darkness and sadness. It is too short, I think, but is worth downloading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan8bit Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 True, it does have emotion. And I know I said elsewhere something along the lines of solo piano needing perhaps some accompaniment (not often do you hear any solo piano on radio stations of that nature). But nonetheless it is still good. He could've added a couple train sounds though and that would've made it great, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion303 Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 This arrangement floored me. Using two or three notes to sketch out a chord structure from a well-known song is a time-honored tradition, and Pollard really does this well. My sole complaint is that it's too damn short. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daanieru Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 this is a good pice of arrangement... and yes, as everyone else says, it does have a bit of emotion in it.. i liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmptyMy Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 How many Chef Kawasaki awards can be given at once, anyway?? I liked this one. But the clipping was really annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinShaltout Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I loved this one.. it almost felt like a great continuation to the ff6 piano collections CD .. and I like it fully piano as it is.. i actually think it could be better with more piano here and there in the slight silences in between but all in all.. nice mix.. we don't get many piano solos on this site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mp Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 sorry about the peak clipping. this is the first track i've recorded with gigastudio, so i was not recording in the best way possible. also, the clipping -should- be hardly noticable unless you're using something like winamp with its graphical equalizer for playback... thanks for all of the comments, though. glad you all enjoyed it, for the most part. -m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusaku999 Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I thought it was beautifully done. It's depressing, yet romantic. This is a song you'd play if you were having a conversation with your girlfriend. And it reminded me more of Castlevania SOTN. It's not often a song is remixed so well, that it can fit into more than just one game. Congrats on this remix. I hope to hear more from you. -J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gevaudan Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 This is one of the more beautiful pieces I've heard in a while. It makes me feel so relaxed, yet utterly depressed. I'll admit, at times I like to be depressed and this song is perfect for setting that mood. This is just what I need when I feel miserable. This also deserves a lot of credit because for the past 6 months I've been on a terrible writers block and all of a sudden I feel like writing some more songs. Ideas just popped right in my head. I think I'll finally finish this hardcore epic I've been working on. In addition to that it's the type of song that will put me to sleep. I hope to hear more like this in the future. Beautifully done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EntroPi Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 This mix's main limitation is that it isn't a live recording, and there's really no way to get around that... But, for what he had to work with, Matt did an excellent job and shows some good insight into piano-playing techniques. Although I do have to say, the velocity towards the end of the piece sounded to me like it was controlled by some sort of LFO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 I love it! It's very nicely done, and in my book is ranked close to Terra in Black and Death on the Snowfield. (My two favorite remixes.) However, like everyone else said, it's too damned short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamu-Sumo Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Wow! I didn't hear so a good piano piece anytime! A wonderful and very good work! 9/10 (1=worst; 10=best) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroRyoku Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Amazing- Normally I'm not into this type of music, but you really pulled off a 'Moody' feeling, and it fits well with the original. As was said for Terra in Black(AilSean - My fave mix), this deffinately should have been the original. 9/10 - Z.Ryoku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landon Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 Beautimous. It reminds me of.. .*snaps his fingers a few times* .... Untamed Heart. Not really much to say. It's a big piano solo. But a big PRETTY piano solo. Not a big fan of the fade out however. I prefer a nice solid ending. 8.5 out of 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignis Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 I like most piano solos and this one's no exception. Nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shhteve Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 Even though a song may sound or seem simple, there's a more true meaning to every piece of music.. I really like this one. Great work, Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kLuTz Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 This is great! Wonder how I didn't come across this before? Anyways, any alterations would make this piece obscure...I would leave it exactly how it is, except maybe one thing. Wouldn't this song sound cool with rain and thunder stuff in the background? Hehe...Anyways, what a classic, it stays close to the original theme, while adding a whole new perspective to the song. This would've been great in the game, or if they would've released it in the OSV... -kLuTz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakolev Noct Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 To second Klutz's remark, I have actually played this piece during a lazy summer thunderstorm. It was not just "cool", it was perhaps the most profound emotional experience that an OC mix has ever evoked from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 A nice classical piano remix, sounds sad, but not spooky. Anyway, I liked it, so I downloaded it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isthan Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 someone got the sheet music for this piece? I second that! This sounds very... professional. The melody flows perfectly. When heard this the first time I haven't played FF6 yet. This was one of those songs that made me think "I gotta play that game which has so amazing music!" I always feel very very sad when listening this... am I the only one? ._. 9/10 //p.s. this remix deserves more comments! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapy Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I would have rather heard this when I played the game. It makes me sad, which is the original songs intention. Due to the fact the phantom train carries dead spirits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaran Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Was anyone actually able to get the sheet music from this ReMixer? I pm'd him 2 weeks ago but didn't get a reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
