Meh, as a guitarist myself I guess I was a lttle unimpressed with his rendition as well, I just thought it sounded cool.

Oh, I thought it sounded cool, no doubt. I just don't think it fell under the category of "bad-ass" or "epic". =P


Well, it caused me to open up my ROM and play CT for a few... Hours... O.o

Indeed. But the bad thing is that on my current save I'm at the Factory in 2300 AD, and i always hated that part.

I always found that part to be the most boring, lame part of the game. -_-

Remember level/tech grinding in the Hunting Range in 65 Million BC.  All of my characters had full tech tree's before I went to Magus' Castle...

Thanks to that gosh darn prehistoric Nu (that can't actually kill you).

Yeah, but the bad thing is that you'll go back to it on a new game plus, and you'll never get to experience that awesome feeling of skipping ahead again.

Yeah, but I devoted New Game+'s to leveling my characters to get STAR stats and Ayla's other two sets of fists...

You're on the CHRONO COMPENDIUM!

LOOK IT UP!

 :lol:

But OK, just this once. At lvl 72-96, and 96-** Ayla's fist get upgraded. First is Bronze Fist, second is Iron Fist as opposed to her regular Fist.

Check her character profile, or weapons to find out the stats of each.

Yeah, only two of teh BEST "WEAPONS" IN THE FREAKIN GAME!!!

Quote from: GlennLeo
How do you like any of these songs besides Blue Mined God?

I don't care if they are actual remixes and take more time, if they suck.
You must love that type of sound I guess.
That weird guitar synth that makes it sound all dark and twangy. I can't even describe it, sort of like a car grumbling.

I only hear that sound in beatdrop's and only for the beginning really...and anyways, I think that kind of dark, distortion-filled industrial sound is very fitting for Magus. When I was writing Magness, I'd always turn on Temporal Rehab or Decay of Hope to really get into the mood of Magus. I also love the quotes in Decay of Hope...even if they are of stupid Vin Diesel...>_> Huh, I actually haven't re-dled Blue Minded God...it was never my fav of the bunch...I don't recall why...maybe because it was too similar to the original? *shrugs* I'll go get it again, I guess...

EDIT: Plus, Temporal Rehab & Decay of Hope go great w/CotMM's Ocean Palace (Wave Breaker)!!

EDIT2: Ah, I'm listening to Blue Minded God now...I think I didn't care for the addition of that weird sound effect...I forget what it was...Was it a laugh or something? I didn't like it in Magus' Theme, I guess...small thing, but yeah, just doesn't click as fitting for me...otherwise, yeah, it's a great mellow rendition w/nice piano & nice bassline.

You had it backwards, but yeah, you're right.

Sorry. I didn't copy paste the entry lol. My bad.

That laugh was in his castle theme I think. Like when you were running around. I honestly forget when it's played really.
EDIT: Found it. First song played, and it was when you are in his castle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ_AP5fneR8

I did enjoy that other remix you posted though. It was good.

To me a remix needs to sound similar to the song it is remixing. The main melody has to be identifiable. While it is possible to hear the Magus theme in the first 3 you listed, it is very difficult to pick it out sometimes, and I don't like that as much. I dunno, those are just the kind of remixes I like I guess. The ones with a more classic feel to them, more closely related to the source material.

Simply put, to each his own.
