Hey! I think I remember this tune. Wasn't this for a PRC or MnP? Could be a derp on my part. Lovin that chiptune aesthetic and all the synths + orchestral elements. Beat is functional. The countermelody of the source tune is captured perfectly here! Nice work man. 1:40 that new lead synth is excellent. It just keeps better... 2:14 has some very high pitched things that hurt the ears. Might wanna look into that.

While this has been uploaded before, this version is a far cleaner cut for you all. There are also new sections to fix some of the bland transitions from before.
Source - Man with the Machine Gun (FF8 - Laguna Battle)
Track - Man with the Golden Machine Gun
Feedback is appreciated.
Enjoy!

It was made in response to a BUNCH of Laguna remixes showing up simultaneously on the OCR boards ages ago. I think you even had one up at the time, lol; this remix was kind of memed into existence. :P
Laguna done right.
Laguna a gun man
My gosh yes this is awesome! I just had so much fun doing the battles in the dream sequence because this always played during the fights boss or not. It just had a really cool and literal dreamy battle atmosphere to it. It really just captured what the battles from the past and dream must have been like for all of them too.
The synth sounds so amazing here as it plays several tones at once. The bass line is pumping and pretty cool too as it continues forth to help give a feel of winning. The drums sound cool and I like the little rapid clap sounds heard as well since they give off a feeling of being great.
The little gun and sword sounds were a little nice addition to the mix I think.
Overall, awesome remake here.

Glad you enjoyed the track. The claps were something I virtually took straight from the source - they just were too awesome to leave out. Though listening back to it I may have mixed them a little too far to the front, but it's pretty old now; no use worrying about it.
;)
Nice.
I was just listening to this song in Dissidia Duodecim when I found this. Go figure. This is a great song.
P.S. To the reviewer below me, this song was from Final Fantasy VIII, not Final Fantasy VII. VII sucked completely, with no redeeming factor. (And now I get to wait for hordes of rabid Sephiroth fans descend upon me like Death's scythe. Oh fun.)
Enhancing something so awesome!
You took the only redeeming factor of Final Fantasy VII (the game sucked, the only good thing was this song) and you've made it even more epic!
I LOVE THIS REMIX
