Seriously, what is this? A fan-made battle theme circulated as a hoax?

For the longest time I've been wondering what this song is. I thought I'd lost it but then I recently stumbled upon it in a CD of really old backups and such.

YouTube - Final Fantasy X fake battle theme? Unreleased? Fan-made?

It was called something like "FFX - battle theme" when I downloaded it but is clearly an original track styled on the classic battle themes with some FF8 sound effects thrown in. I've got a MIDI of the full song that was included with an RPG Maker game (that doesn't have any extra info either) so has anybody on here got a clue? And if so, the rest of the song, preferably without the FF8 sound effects? Because I think it's a pretty awesome tune!

YouTube - Final Fantasy X [10] Original Trailer [BETA - Proto 2000]

This very very very early demo of FFX has FFVIII placeholder music, so perhaps that music was originally composed for FFVIII and scrapped.

There are a few unreleased FFX tracks that are pretty neat. This one is my favorite:
YouTube - Final Fantasy X OST - Illusion (Unreleased Track)

Haha, I have this burned to a CD, the first CD I ever burned for myself back in 2002 I think!

Ah, Kazaalite, I would have been lost without you.
