I hate to do this but...
This is the first time I have to agree with the critics...but this time you really destroyed the song. It was meant to have a soft tone that I loved in FFVII. It was a great try, but if you like the beat idea, then try using the drums in a softer manner and take out the scratchy thing. Normally I think all your stuff is incredible, but this one...well it just plain sucks. Could you try doing an FFIV Overworld theme mix and an FFVI (4 and 6) Overworld theme? I'm a big fan of those!
