This better not be techno, i d/l a techno remix of Aeris' theme cos it seemed to be the most popular remix of FF7 after searching on Morpheus, and it was complete sh*t!

EDIT: Hey not bad. I think he was showing off a bit on the guitar though. Like he hit a harmonic on one bit which sounded completely off and out of tune.  :rolleyes:

Hey! Don't knock techno! Not all of it is bad! I personally like the Techno Scooby Doo Remix. It kicks ass!

Title: Terra's Theme. The best remix ever!
Post by: Qhimm on 2002-02-06 19:58:00
First of all, the remix is based on the FF6 Piano Collections version of Tina's theme. People tend to credit this remixer for the excellent arrangement, which isn't exactly true. Credit to where credit is due, and this guy is getting a bit too much IMO.

I've listened to this before, so I'll copy my notes from that time:
- Compare it with FF6PC instead of the FF6 OST and you realize it's just another remix...
- Excellent guitar tracks. Could've toned down the secondary one though, now they sort of blur into each other and makes sure you can't appreciate what was once beneath it.
- Good bass+drums, completes guitar perfectly.
- Added strings track is unimaginative, doesn't quite follow the chords of the underlying song (FF6PC). Sounds more like he just freak experimented by letting it go up and down randomly, ruins Uematsu's arrangement and nearly destroys the otherwise exquisite intro.
- Added trumpet is absolutely awful. Bad sampling for one, it doesn't fit into the other instruments at all, and screams so loud it totally ruins both chimes and strings in the intro.
- Could've chosen a better pad sample, it's a *little* out of place. Otherwise the mid-section is absolutely great, it's a perfect mix of Uematsu's track and the new rock style.
- The end is better than the intro, especially with the acoustic guitar. Why didn't he use something similar in the intro instead of that trumpet?
- Nice touch with the Prelude running in the background at the end.

- Final opinion: it's over-credited, but still way better than your average remix. Actually, the worst parts of this remix are still better than most remixes ever get.

[ EDIT: Well, maybe that last part says more about the average remix than this one :wink: ]

Overall, I liked it. I'm also going to keep it, however, I think the artist overuses the guitar in this piece. That's my only complaint.

Jedimark:  not really, I downloaded a techno version of Terra's theme and it kicked ass.  There are some songs that pretty cool in techno.  Does someone know where can I get the piano version of the overworld theme in Final Fantasy II (not FFIV).  I like that song, and I would like to hear it in piano.

vvalentine: I'm pretty sure you can get just about every FFOSV on Morpheus/KaZaA. I've got some of FFIX off it. It'll probably have the Songs from Final Fantasy I-III Soundtrack. Hope it helps

I tried already, but it only gave me songs from FFIV.  I found one piano version of the song, but it was short and it didn't sound the same.

Maybe it was not bad because it was a techno song. Maybe it is bad, just because that composer sucks.

IMHO techno is great.

Btw i did not really liked this remix, i dont like much this guitar stuff. Have to switch to some Drum'n'bass  :) or texno

Cool remix but it actually kills the original flavor of the song.

I found this song called "The best of Final Fantasy VII".  It's a song that has the most popular theme songs together in an orchestrated version.  I think it was done by some high school orchestra or something, because it wasn't so professionally played.  And NO it is not a bootleg of the Final Fantasy Concert that just happened.  The song is pretty cool though.  You can get it at morpheus or I could post it somewhere in the Internet.  Sephiroth3D, I think you would be interested.

Hey Seph, did you find the song.  You can find it very quick in morpheus.  I found out who played the song, it was CSU Berkley.  Apparantelly they play a lot of FF songs.  Anyways, I found some more tabs for the Nightmare's beginning song.  It gave me more inspiration.  To be honest I had kinda lost hope in able to do the song, because it didn't sound too good in the guitar.  But now that I replaced those parts that didn't sound good with other better sounding parts, it's getting more simpler to complete it.

I didn't want to say anything about it because I wasn't able to complete it, and I didn't have time to complete it.  Now that the semester is over, I'm going to resume my work.  I never thought it would be this difficult, and that I would have so many obstacles.  Anyways, I will post updates once in a while.

Post by: vvalentine on 2002-02-26 22:49:00
actually, that tab is pretty messed up, but it does have some things that other tabs don't.  I'm going to used notes of every tab, and play the ones that sound good and that sound more original to the song.

Morpheus: A great program. I don't want to ever use it.

Why? you ask? Simple. The code is based on Kaazaa (or vice versa) which sucked in the first place. I can't always go to search for stuff, I can't alwasy look at my transfers...

I just like WinMX SOO much better. Not to mention that WinMX doesn't have pop-up advertisements every 5 minutes!

If you can upload a copy, let me know. I'll download it from ya. Thanks!

seph: thats why you use kazaa. i had morpheus but it kept say "Your Morpheus is too old to connect to the network," even after i upgraded it. i've had a running kazaa window open for the last  17-18 hours, downloading, and no popups :). besides morpheus is bigger than winmx is..... and supports software downloads....  :)   :D   :naughty:   :roll:   :laugh:

VV: Can you ICQ it to me? How big is it?

PS: in my view, Kazaa = Morpheus. Both suck. And FYI, WinMX supports software too. It's just centered around MP3s more than most other software, so most people don't think about it.

Yeah, I have WinMX.  I'm logged right now.  Not for too long though, try tomorrow like at 2 pm.  I'm telling you, get an account at streamload.com.  It's free, and fast, faster than WinMX.  The download limit is 50 megs though, but the file is only 12.

Heyya all,

Not sure if you guys have ever visited the following site, but if you enjoyed this mix, RUN to this site and grab all the ff/chrono mixes you want.  They range from techno remixes to orchestral ones.  

A very very awesome site... well worth reviving this month old thread.... =P

Hey, thanks for the link, javienn.  I'm getting hooked on arranged game music.

The song I was looking the other time, the main theme of FF2, I finally found it orchestrated.  It was actually Scene I from the Final Fantasy Symphonic Suite.  Very nice song.

BTW:  Seph3D, did you ever got to download the whole song I sent you to streamload?
