Ultradoux Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Hello mina ! I'm amazed ! There isn't yet a remix of "The Landing", the Attack in Dollet's song from Final Fantasy VIII ! One of the best song of this game. But i've recently heard an other song taked from the japanese version. Listen it here : Landing jap version I hope you will interested in remix these two track ! Sayonara ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skcoder Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I never knew there was a jap version of this song. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escariot Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Ahhh... This is the version that is part of the FF8 downloaded OST labeled as "The Landing (Alternate)" Not a bad track, I was considering it myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sil Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Although we were not given an official explanation as to why this track wasn't used, the general consensus over here in North America is that this track (which was used in the FF8 demo over here) was a rip off of the score to the movie The Rock. Clip of the soundtrack: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=FPrHH3DOaSE This alternate Landing track is definitely Uematsu's style, so I don't buy the excuse that it was composed by a ghostwriter. I think Uematsu unconsciously remembered that little syncopated riff after watching the movie. Uematsu is one of the last composers to plagiarize, so it was probably an honest mistake. Could it be a coincidence? Possibly, but there is a part where Uematsu has some high strings playing staccato syncopation against the motif that is exactly what is done in The Rock (at around 1:04 in that youtube link.)

Ultradoux Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 You're right, theses two song are very similar... I've find the long version (listen at 3:30): Crumbling of Time Extended. Enjoy But this song isn't really moving no ? It don't give me gooseflesh, something is missing... Perhaps after a good remix it will be beter Thanks for your job. @++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwordBreaker Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Wow...I do actually remember this track from the FF8 demo disk. I was kind of surprised when I found it replaced in the full version of game, because the demo version is extremely catchy. I never knew they kept it in the Japanese version. I also listened to that theme from The Rock...surprisingly very similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunther Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Wow...I've never listened this alternate version, but I prefer the classic one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultradoux Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 So, nobody interested by remix this track ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I think my finned british buddy has been working on an FF8 medley that incorporates this song, very good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal_Emmerich Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 The reason the song was not used was because the song largely resembled the score of The Rock, and the studio was prepared to go to court over it. Rather than go into a legal battle, they changed it in the final version. It was actually confirmed in a magazine that did an interview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramaniscence Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Is this the one from the demo? I always liked it better. Though I don't even remember what the original sounds like now. Also: FF8 needs a remix album more than FF7 did, imho. Music in that game is phenomenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I like listening to the FF8 soundtrack more, but its not as "remixable" imo. For example, drifting is probably my favourite piece of music in the game, but I wouldn't know where to start with a remix of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnsalot Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 The soundtrack was the best part of FF8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
