I love this. Started off a bit slow, but then it got freakin' awesome. The Crows Claw version has been my fav for a while... but dang, I'm not so sure now. Faved.
I wouldn't call this rubbish.. you "captured" elements on original Dark Messenger.. it sound's kinda nice actually.. but there's also feeling that "something is missing"
This is my favorite boss music from Final Fantasy... I rarely like anything fan-made when it comes to this series. But this blew my mind. It's amazing. You really need to keep it up. I'm looking forward to more music from you.
In PS1 you use this special type of sound library, which is somewhat similar with MIDI. This same thing occurs in PS2 game music too, so it's not weird it sounds "Fruity Loop-ish".
Fruity Loops itself is kinda cool composing/mixing software, people just don't know how to play with sounds so they use every stupid preset sound there is, badly. Sound engineering itself isn't easy, not at all. Fruity Loops even supports VSTi so it isn't something you should call "bad".
I actually like this one better than the original. Your version sounds like real instruments, and the original sounds a bit too much "Fruity Loops"-ish if you know what I mean.
you're version of this piece is definitely the best i saw and i searched (and tried to make) and i would be thrilled to see some of your works, covers or not..
Possibly the best rendition of Dark Messenger I've heard, really thick, powerful and atmospheric. I'm thoroughly impressed and that doesn't happen all that often.
Whole song was put together with Reaper and I used plenty of VST plugins, like Addictive Drums.
I played the guitars through GT-10 multieffect system. Often I use my Marshall JVMs pre-amp and model the power amp from GT, so I get nice feedback for guitars but I can record in complete silence.
I have to say, this is by far the single best remix of this awesome song on the net. I'm no musician so I cant say exactly what, but there are bits that need a bit tweaking here and there. Still, this is what all other remixes of the song should aspire to be like, well done mate!
That's true, I'm not that happy about this remix, just wanted to share with other because the other remixes are... well they are bit odd. Gonna make better ones when I come up with something cool. I'm up for some ideas, just say if there's something popular and genius tracks :)
All I can say is...put this song up for download dude, its great! For your next work, perhaps do a remix of FFX's Seymour battle, FFIX's nomal battle...and this one is a bit obscure, but perhaps Breath of Fire 3's final battle music. Anyway, keep up the good work!
I... I can't download it D:

"Rubbish"? You greatly underestimate yourself.
Sure it's a cover of a song from a video game, but that doesn't mean it isn't any good.
You don't need a fancy band and a spot of American Idol to be a successful musician.
This is the best cover of this track I've ever heard.
I'd be willing to bet that if Nobuo heard it he would applaud.
Excellent work.
