No, this is not on the Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec soundtrack that was arranged by Shiro Hamaguchi. This little number was arranged by none other than myself. It took a couple days, but luckily, I've had this thing arranged since January, I just need better voices for it, and what better program than Reason to do it all in?

In any event, I've changed some chords, thrown out the dumb time signature changes right before the first climax and added in a special ending. If you can correctly guess what song I'm using for the transition to the ending, you get a cookie. Post in the comments below.

What program is this?

[Vinzer]

@zingodoom Arrangement was done in Reason 4, screen capture was done on Audacity.

Comments like what i'm posting are plentiful and cheap, but this piece is in serious danger of being the best version of premonition i've ever heard. Bar none.

Would you consider remaking "The Landing"? If it sounds anywhere as good as this, it should be awesome.

[Vinzer]

@kblargh I've been meaning to do the Landing and Legendary Beast, but my motivation isn't what it used to be...

0:29 that had to be ripped straight from FF7 RIGHT THERE!

E.P.I.C.

@Vinzer: This is better than the original, easily, which is saying something considering how the original is translates so well the struggle of FFVIII. Incredible job. I've been listening to your other work on Newgrounds as well. It's not as good as this but still awesome! I love how your MGS2 Boss Theme wouldn't sound out of place in FFXIII!

@Vinzer thanks

[Vinzer]

@limbobbins Orkester sound bank or whatever its called.

[limbobbins]

@Vinzer do the instruments used in this track come with reason or do you have to buy them seperately? Thanks and sorry you must get loads of questions on this.

[ApilJuce]

0:29 different key, different subject matter, different game. Coincidence.

[3LiterProductions]

Nobuo simply threw that into the start of Premonition. i know it's part of "Highwind Takes to the Skies" from VII but hey, when you write all the music, you kinda give yourself the right to do that. :P also, the bit you made at the ending is from "The Landing"

This melody is.... OUT-OF-TIME!
