    Default 'Remakes' of Final Fantasy music with FFVI midi

    I just stumbled across some of the most unique youtube content I have ever seen. Someone has re-orchestrated music from other FF titles using the midi sounds available in FFVI. There are a lot of them, too. Here is the link to the midified rendition of the FF7 overworld theme. Check it out!

    That is brilliant, I quite like force your way from VIII

    In terms of sound engine FFVI didnt really stand out to me but he's done this quite well.
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!

    So they just threw the midi file in to FFVI's sound engine? Not really that impressed.


    "... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."

    The person who did this would have had to orchestrate the entire thing manually, I believe. Still not very impressive since he didn't actually make anything original, but there aren't many people (relatively speaking) with the skill set to do this. I find the end results to be rather interesting, though.

    It would have been more interesting if he/she arranged the pieces to be of the same artistic style as FFVI. Now it's just different MIDI sounds.

    FFVII's soundtrack is similar to FFVI's so it fits well, but I don't think it really suits some of the other themes.

    This has been getting popular lately. I first noticed people doing it with classic MegaMan songs being done with MegaMan X2's sounds.

    I enjoy hearing the different takes on battle themes like Force Your Way through the sound engine of Final Fantasy VI. I enjoy any remix of a battle theme these days. These videos have been around for a while, though, so I wonder why they are suddenly getting so much attention? How did you hear about this video originally?
    I believe in the power of humanity.
