Marmiduke Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 The forest theme is a standout tune in a soundtrack of very awesome tunes, so it's a leap of faith when trying to interpret something that sounds amazing on the SNES chip into different territory. I guess that's the point of OCRemix, but in this case, I still think this song belongs on the SNES. Regardless, this is infectious fun and I won't deny that I get very kinetic when it starts. But I think its strength is its source melody; if it were an arrangement of a song that was a quarter of the insane fun of the SMRPG Forest Theme, you may have been in trouble. At the very least, it succeeds in supplying unadulterated joy and nostalgia. And that's pretty awesome, in my mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youthboy Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 This is totally the opposite of what you expect from this song. The original was slow and sad, but this is upbeat and happy. As the pirates would say, "Well done, me bucko!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OceansAndrew Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 The sample quality and pacing here makes the song pleasant enough, but a bit unmemorable. It's nice when it's going on, but once it's over it doesn't linger. I've listened a few times and had fun, but in an hour, if you'd ask me the melody, I wouldn't have any idea. The slow down at the end is classy, though. I'm sure if you've played the game, it's much better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shiriko Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I don't think I've physically outright grinned immediately upon hearing the beginning of a song. 8D This is awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
