Cursed Pirates of the Sea

From: Final Fantasy V

Remixed by: Protricity

This remix from the often overlooked SNES entry in the Final Fantasy series does a good job mixing orchestral and synth elements. The remix could have easily played out like it started and proved enjoyable but the remixer threw a storm in the middle (complete with sounds effects) and gave the trumpet some lovin' and ended up with a lot of well-executed variety. It's kind of foreboding overall, which I guess is fitting since these pirates are cursed. But at least we get to enjoy their misery...right?

Has a very interesting atmosphere going on. I think this would fit a FF V remake very well.

I hope they do a remake of FFV someday. The 3DS would be perfect!

Didn't OCRemix used to have their own torrent downloader program? I had to go get one, Free Torrent Viewer I think it was, and it seems kinda sketchy. It's simple and does the job though, I guess.

I don't think they have their own program, just torrents with all the songs. I think the one I have is called Vuse.

Vuse looks good. I'll use that next time.

I have the Dear Friends album which has arranged versions of music from FFV. I like the version on it better, but this is still really good and I like how they phased it ino the next song.

I've heard that album and didn't like it too much at first but it's grown on me, especially the titular song.

FF V is the only FF game (besides 11 and 14) that I haven't finished. I'm not sure why. I always get so far, and then kinda just lose interest. One of these days I'll finish it. Nice song!

I haven't played FF V at all but I've missed out on more FF games than I like to admit. I will play them one day!

I barely remember this tune from FF V. It took me awhile for it to finally click. I can't say it does much for me since it feels almost over done to me.
