I liked this version, you added some nice effects in it. I thought it sounded a bit more dreamy than the original. Especially the flute at the beginning part and at the end was very nice. I thought the electricish piano sounded a bit less good though. I think I would´ve liked it more of it sounded like a real piano, but it was still alright.
Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. All in all I thought it was good, I liked it. Hope to hear some more of you, keep up the good work.

Interesting loop you made here. It sounds far more lively than the original to me. The original one was a bit .. quieter and a bit more boring if I can remember it well. Not that the original was bad or anything, I liked that one actually. Anyways, the bells were a really nice addition to the song and I liked the flute as well. Especially the part it played at 0:49.
Overall 10 out of 10, 5 out of 5. I added this one to favorites, really love it and it cheers me up somehow. Keep up the excellent work.

Yes this really sounded very dramatic, like something really really bad is about to happen. Much more dramatic than the original, but I like that personally. The banging on keyboards idea was nice and sounded well with this song.
Overall 10 out of 10, 5 out of 5. Once again, I liked it more than the original. Added this one to favorites and added you to favorite artists as well. I saw you´re gonna do FF9 remixes next, and I`m looking forward to them like I said on your newsblog. FF9 themes perhaps aren´t as good as FF8´s (in my opinion), but most of them were still awesome.

PS: I believe I´ve listened to all your FF8 remixes now. You did a great job with them, but sadly I think you left some of my favorite themes out. Maybe I´m a Lion, boss battle theme and the ballroom music. I can imagine the ballroom would be a bit diffecult to remix with your style. But I was hoping you would´ve done the other 2 but alas :( Hope you´re still gonna do them someday :)

It was a tough choice weather to go with the Bashing Piano but it sounded so unique and really made the song have some attitude, so kept :P
I will defiantly do them remix's as a personal favor for you reviewing all my songs, well listening to them all! Thats honor. I am really pleased you like them and will take your views into mind when I compose future Remix's.
I decided on FF9 because, FF10 is tricky, and FF7 is well remixed for by a million artists, So I might not do any :P who knows. FF8 is my fave though But 10 remix's seems a lot!

Overworld theme =) Also not one of my favorite themes from FF8, but again you did a really good job with it and turned it into something nice. Beside the overworld, the song also reminds me a bit of Timber or Galbadia somehow. I can´t quite remember what they´re themes were, but I thought one of them had some similarities with this one.
The bongo´s were a really good idea by the way. I thought it also gave it a bit of jungle like feel.
Overall 9 out of 10, 5 out of 5. This really sounded like a mix of many things to me, but it was all blend together well and turned into a very nice theme. Again I thought it sounded better than the original, but it probably wouldn´t fit in the game. But that´s okay, keep up the excellent work.

I liked this remix personally. You kept the original tune in, but I thought your version sounded much more exciting than the original. Probably because of the heavy drums you added. They really gave it that extra bit.
Also, I remember the original song got on my nerves after a while when I was in the district prison and was running around without any clue where to go for a long time. I actually turned off the sound after a while. I think I could´ve listened to this version for much longer.
Overall 9 out of 10, 5 out of 5. Well made remix of the original, that in my opinion sounded even a bit better as I´ve stated above. Keep up the excellent work.

Ah, the main battle theme. My favorite battle theme of all RPG games I´ve played. Battle themes in other RPG´s always sound fast paced and stuff, while this one sounds more adventurous somehow. Really liked that.
The victory fanfare at the beginning was a bit weird in my opinion. I seriously think you should have left that out, or maybe it would sound better at the ending of the song.
Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. Gave this one a bit lower as the former ones I´ve reviewed. I just thought it didn´t sound as great as the other pieces I´ve heard so far, and it seemed like you did not add that many elements of your own in this. But it was still very good nonetheless.

"Wasn´t my favorite, but you made it nice"
Like you, I also loved the music from FF8. But this wasn´t really one of my favorite themes personally. I only liked it in the parade music, but luckily you made it sound a bit like that by adding drums and such.
You also put in some other nice effects. While I´m normally not a big fan of this techno-like music, it sounded quite well in this to be honest.
Overall 9 out of 10, 5 out of 5 ( 4.16 / 5.00 (+ 0.26) XD). I see you´ve made a lot more FF8 remixes and what I´ve heard so far from you was very good. So I´m probably gonna listen to some more of your music, maybe I´ll leave a few more reviews. Hope you don´t mind.

I thought it sounded awesome, but it didn´t really sounded familiar to me and I´ve played through the game at least three times.
At first I thought it was the boss battle theme, for the first few seconds. Then I thought I heard Edea´s parade music somewhere in it and then it seemed like all sorts of songs put together. So could you please tell me which song/songs this/these are? I´m getting a little curious :p
Overall 10 out of 10, 5 out of 5. It sounded awesome like I said. Especially the electric guitar was great in my opinion. Added this to favorites, keep up the excellent work.

It's when you fight the Lion in I believe it's when he uses his trance ability thingy, after the "Maybe im a lion". When it gets a bit more serious :P

Pretty nice remix you made here. Good thing that you also added the clock. It sounded a bit... midi-like though. I think I would´ve preferred the original clock sound.
And perhaps adding the rumbling sounds would´ve made it even cooler, but I´m not quite sure if that would´ve blended in that well with the rest of the song.
Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. A good remix like I said. Makes me remember what an awesome game Majora´s Mask was. Anyway, keep up the good work.

There was something that I missed a bit though. In the original you can clearly hear something that at first sounds like a female choir, but goes over into some other sort of... instrument. Not quite sure what kind of instrument it could be though. But anyways, I hope you know what I mean. Kinda hard to explain, but you can hear it very clearly in the original as I said. In your version, I couldn´t really hear anything from that. It seemed like you just took the background part of the song.
Also, like a review below me already said, adding the clock would be really nice. The clock really finishes the sadness of the song.
Overall 7 out of 10, 3 out of 5. I did kinda like it, but it just didn´t really felt completed.
