I've heard some good versions of this song
But...WOW...Brought back the memories. Great job with this one man.
Reviews for "FFMQ - Doom Castle"
Excelent
FFMQ songs are few and far between. I was amazed to see one on here after poking around in the audio section for a little while. Im downloading this as soon as possible.
FFMQ was one of the first Final Fantasys I played when I was very young, and its just kept with me. So its still the best damn final fantasy made Imho. Yeah im a bit biased. But oh man...great remix, and the only downside is the slightly choppy loop. Good Job chief!

Thanks for that review. Personally I wasn't too impressed with it, gamewise, but I loved the music to bits! As far as I know, it wasn't Uematsu who wrote it...
wow
the intro blew me away. awesome!
awesome backround guitar with the dotted eighth sixteenth rythm. coooool. oooo SHIT mystic quest!!!!
i waslike wat the hell is ffmq???n then the rythm at 1:00 was so familiar. how canu say that this game sux????? i loved it...the battle music was so cool. anyways.
wat was with the ending? o well. cool song, not much to say though...it is a video game theme. u defninitely gave it ur own aspect of it an everything.
ya the last stage was defniitly unexpaected lol. the ending wasnt very good, but the song was awesome!!!nice job
Grumbleduke responds:
The actual game itself (mechanics, plot and things like that) was really lame imo, but it was redeemed by the absolutely awesome soundtrack it had, so it wasn't entirely bad. Enough of that though.
Not sure what you meant by the ending, because it is supposed to loop, albeit not perfectly (silly mp3 format). Thanks again, stallion.
GrumbleDuke- FFMQ Doom Castle
First Impression: "So...oldschool"
Which I absolutely love, while every other person sit on their fancy computers with HL2, I'm sitting on the floor with some liters of coffee, and we're on with the SNES.
However, your samples isn't exactly the "best".
The drums sound a bit washed out, due to little bass. I like how the guitar sounds, is this hypersonic or something?
You certainly got some talent as stated in the Favorite Author List. Good luck in the contest my man.
Ps: Check out my three songs if you haven't ?
(Won't regret it hopefully).

Guess I mised this one, oops...
Oldschool music revamped is/was/shall forever be the way foreward. I know my samples are not brilliant (as I use GarageBand which everybody seems to knock mercilessly), and I know why the drums are a little washed out too; treble reduction. It was that or horrible tinny cymbals. The guitar is actually a default GarageBand MIDI sound with a few tweaks for added grrr. I like that one a lot; unfortunately I can't put all my music up here with it in to show you, as most of it has been contracted for the personal use of employers (who paid for it to be written).
It's happened again; I was certain I reviewed your stuff, but it appears I have not (I lose track sometimes). Better rectify that.
Hell yeah!!!
These are some good'ol memories of that old SNES game. Yeah the game sucked comapred to all the others. There were a few good songs like this one and the boss battles.
This is an excellent remake, did you get new samples or something? And what is going on with the awards thingy? You have to tell me all about it :D
Oh and could i request my favorite song from this game wich is the final battle of the game, i just like the song so much.
Fifen'd for great justice. See you later.
Grumbleduke responds:
I haven't had any new samples; I just went to town on a good song! I've used more synth tracks in this sing than any other though, even the FF9 Battle.
I'll keep people posted about the award I could be winning; I believe the actual AVN awards happen in January, so there's a long way to go my friend. Atm it's just a pre-nomination; it doesn't count for anything yet. I'm still hopeful though :).
Yes, the FInal Battle is also a good one; really catchy, just like this one. What a sucky final boss too; easy as Yu Yevon, done in the same way!
