    I think I prefer the Distant Worlds version actually! I agree with what you were trying to say, that all the instruments kind of represent a facet of Laguna himself. The Black Mages version, while cool and intense, loses a bit of that through the heavy use of synth. The orchestral version is just glorious.

    Laguna is one of my all time favourite characters and his battle theme here is just phenomenal. I enjoyed the flashback scenes with him so much because it meant I got to hear this sweet sweet track!

    I was drumming and whistling along to the original like some crazy, drum-whistling bastard. Excellent and unusual choice!

    The Distant Worlds version is awesome :>. Those of us who played through FF8 were cheering when they played this in Malaysia

    The title alone is reason enough to admire it.

    I love the Distant Worlds version, it gives me total goosebumps! Laguna is one of my favourite dudes in FF. And he is most certainly a cool ass Dude!

    I love that change in the song at 1:45 ish on the Orchestral version, it's beautiful!!!

    There is a reason this is my alarm tone! It gets me pumped up for the day! Nice number 3 Psy, I approve!

    I started tapping my foot as soon as I clicked on the first video, and sure enough the next sentence I would read said "that's all I need to hear before my foot is tapping without me having any say in it."

    Great piece. I'm glad it's in your top 10!
