Hi! This channel was originally made for me to post tinkered recordings of MIDI files, with a lean towards video game music. Now I use it pretty much exclusively for remastering and occasionally arranging old video game music. My goal with arrangements is typically to communicate the feel and style the original composers were going for with richer sonic fidelity.

Finale - Final Fantasy II Remastered 80s Style
After a hard fought war, Firion and comrades can finally rest. This really is quite a sweet song, and does fit the sombre tone of Final Fantasy II. It's a pretty sendoff to the whole journey. The best part is that once you hear this song, you know you never have to play FF2 again!

Battle Theme 2 - Final Fantasy II Remastered 80s Style
มุมมอง 4083 หลายเดือนก่อน
It's the first proper boss battle theme for the Final Fantasy series! Newer remakes of FF2 wisely included more boss themes and saved this for the final battle, which is its most memorable use in the game. Did you know Mr. Uematsu actually made another boss theme for this game which never got used, among other unused songs? I'd originally intended on doing those unused tracks too, but I was kin...

This is a song I really admired as soon as I first heard it. I've seen Dragon Quest IV take credit for having the first video game song to use a crescendo, but there are some very nice use of dynamics in this song, which I made sure to preserve in my version. I think the piano ended up sounding pretty cool. If you love my stuff, consider donating on Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/aquamidi Original composer N...

FF2 is one of few Final Fantasy games to actually utilize public domain classical music in places, like here. This technique was a little more common in older video games Koji Kondo actually did it for The Mysterious Murasame Castle and almost did it for Zelda 1. Anyway, this scenario in-game is actually quite a cool setpiece. As awful as FF2 is to actually play, I have to say they really were ...
Chocobo's Theme - Final Fantasy II Remastered 80s Style
มุมมอง 1903 หลายเดือนก่อน
The first incarnation of this legendary musical theme! It doesn't include the second half of the song though, so a lot of people probably find it annoying in-game. The Pixel Remaster version of this song includes the second half and some percussion, and is also a bit less bouncy. I think that takes away from the feeling of hearing the song evolve through the games, you know? If you love my stuf...

Game Over - Final Fantasy II Remastered 80s Style

It's called "Game Over", but you hear it more often when yet another character is lost to the war against the empire. I have to say, Josef's death actually kinda got to me not the moment itself, but remembering his wife's dialogue after the fact. As terrible as playing this game actually is, I respect the hell out of Square's decision to make this game a dark war epic after the relatively light...

Victory - Final Fantasy II Remastered 80s Style
มุมมอง 2714 หลายเดือนก่อน
The original NES version of this song is almost identical to the NES FF1 victory theme, except that the countermelody is actually pretty different! To further differentiate, I added a little percussion inspired by the MSX version of FF1. The percussion is just simple enough to act as a middle point between the complexity of FF1 and FF3's victory themes. Now how about that.

The second half of this song has this really twisted dramatic quality to it, which feels just perfect for the big cruel empire. I think the gong I had transition into it was a pretty cool idea.

Dungeon - Final Fantasy II Remastered 80s Style
มุมมอง 2014 หลายเดือนก่อน
Definitely one of my favorite songs from this game. The fact that it feels so much darker than the dungeon theme to FF1 is fitting, and the way the lead echoed through the vast, monster-laden halls is quite cool. I made sure to preserve that quality with this particular remaster. Wasn't it awful how often FF2's dungeons featured trap rooms with nothing but monster encounters in them? If you lov...

Ahh yes, Star Road, the theme that inspired "I like to cha cha" by DRAM, which in turn inspired "Hotline Bling" by Drake, which in turn inspired a whole album called "But You Caint Use My Phone" by Erykah Badu
Nice closest to original I’ve seen on here
Hell this is so good
Take a melody...
This song is one of those tracks that you skim over at first but the more you hear it the better it gets. Have to let it cook awhile
This music is fire
I’m so glad you kept the background notes at 0:23 and 0:48, they make the song feel epic for some reason, sadly, almost every remix out there ignores them, even the officials by Square
dashie should freestyle to this
this is so good
Stage 1 has no business going so hard in this version 🙏
Sounds like angra
Perfect.
Man, this is awesome!
some of these arrangements give me Super Mario Galaxy vibes.
"How did I get here... in the bathroom?"
bass is gnarly
Aye; the first time I heard it was in BS Zelda and it caught me by surprise cause of how different it was to the melodies I'd gotten used to in the game. Also came back in Four Swords Adventures ... I miss o.g. Death Mountain!
Sounds like somebody is bashing on the walls, with the slow bangs in the background.
where flintstone
I'm here in 2025 and I just found your video! Very nice stuff here!
Finally tha proper sound!!!!! YES THANK U SO MUCH
This game’s winner is…. Mach Rider!! Who will be a playable character in my upcoming project, which is a mod of Smash Remix, a mod of Super Smash Bros. 64. He was originally cut, but will be uncut for the mod’s roster!
This would be F-Zero for the arcade
this is short yet very sweet would definetly put on loop
OMG yes the steel drums on overworld! Yes!
Why do I expect a laugh track
What soundfonts do you use?
my name is peanut butter gamer
U pissed off Mr. Saturn
I think Aqua has been on a downward spiral mentally and now he's lost it completely.
Too much reverb
“My cage, Mario ruined my cage! You promised you’d get back my cage!”
I love how this sounds exactly like the 80s song that inspired it. Very faithful indeed
I prefer either remastering, this one which is the sequenced audio but with high quality samples and the true synth one. All sound nice
🤔What does 80s style mean? cause this sounds nothing how 80s music i know sounds like???
เพราะดี❤
12:52 Hammer bro Nap Time
4:50 Wart: I am the great and powerful *Gets hit by a veggie* Mario: *EAT YOUR VEGGES WART*
If they ever remaster SMB 3 again, this is what I want to hear.
This is the most perfect version there is
I love it. Those last few seconds are what make the NES different from the other versions. I wasn't born in that era, but I imagine someone listening to this will remember those notes as "The End" plays on the screen. Good job.
I love it. It has the same speed as the NES one and the voices in the background suit it better.
very gnawty one
This channel is so underrated. It's one of the only I'm subbed to after purging hundreds of subscriptions because I was spending too much time on the internet. Hope you're doing well!
Heartwarming, thanks!
the tom drums at the end of the melody are the best part 💕 I wish this was the actual official sound, but the official ones suck ass this is the best one I've ever heard just because of those crisp tomdrums
Doki Doki Panic!
The beginning is similar to Mighty Wings from Top Gun
Sounds like something from dragonball
I liked how this was so peaceful sounding when compared to the actual game.
