Forever Rachel. Check this out, it's a real recording of acoustic orchestral instruments instead of MIDI Samples.

Well since you probably just made a blatant one-shot ad post with your music, I have the feeling you probably won't be back. Usually I delete posts like that, but your work's not bad. It really does sound like it came from the game. Good job.

Thanks.

I'm doing a tribute to Final Fantasy and redoing some pieces that aren't already acoustically orchestrated. I thought that Final Fantasy music lovers would like to hear it.

Cheers.

I agree with Cain! This is actually pretty top-notch! If you have any more pieces you are going to redo, I'd be more than willing to listen to them too.

I do like how it sounds as if it comes from the game itself.

Thanks. I'll keep posting links to this thread to any new Final Fantasy pieces I redo. It may not all be from VI but the next one I'm planning to do is the Ending piece from VI. It may take a while since it's a long rhapsody of all the themes.

I just finished redoing another piece acoustically from Final Fantasy 6 - Epitaph

I must say that I am very impressed with your work, I hope Cains words do not prove to be true and that you stick around and provide us with some more of your renditions.

(also since you are a FF fan, we are a FF forum **hint hint**. We would love for you to become an active member here there is plenty to do here.)

Thanks! I hope to stick around for a while. I'm pretty new to the forum and plan to check out and be more active in more areas. I'm more of a fan of the old school Final Fantasy. I'll keep posting up renditions.

Cheers!

Just wanted to write a little note that I was contacted by Final Fantasy Kingdom Hearts Union Podcast yesterday and they're going to play Epitaph in the July 20th episode.

Here's another piece. Gau's Theme - Final Fantasy VI

Here's Terra's Theme. I wish Youtube would convert the audio to a higher quality. It almost doesn't sound acoustic. Well at least I got it to be stereo sound. You can hear the high quality at my website link at the video:

So after some folks pointed out a few tips on the mix, I redid Terra's Theme. I was in a rush to finish this so I didn't do the best job.

Here's the remixed version:

Here's another one that I've redone. A few real instruments, some synths and some sound effects for drums: Devil's Lab

You know, just got around to listening to your latest. These are all really good. I'd totally approve of a remake using these tracks. They sound beautifully improved, but don't deviate far from the original like the Grand Finale album.

Now I feel bad that you aren't getting a lot of comments here. Keep up the great work!

**Jenova** · 12-11-2010, 09:27 PM

These are really great, It brings a whole new feeling to the songs. Keep Up the great work

Hi Everyone,

Thanks very much for your kind comments

Sorry for the long wait for a new piece. I had the weekend off so I just finished rearranging Cyan's Theme acoustically.

Enjoy!
