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 This channel was originally made for me to post tinkered recordings of MIDI files, with a lean towards video game music.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.

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 lighthearted and simple FF1. There's a uniquely tragic atmosphere to this game, a hell of an accomplishment for any Famicom game. On another note, I experimented with turning up the reverb for a more lush sound here, and I think it turned out pretty well!

This plays when some big crazy Indiana Jones stuff happens, usually right before an impending tragedy. Say goodbye to that 4th party member. If you love my stuff, consider donating on Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/aquamidi Original composer Nobuo Uematsu. This version by me.
Victory - Final Fantasy II Remastered 80s Style

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.
Fanfare - Final Fantasy II Remastered 80s Style

As for this recurring fanfare, I wonder if it was heard again after FF5? There actually is an unused version of it hidden in FF6. If you love my stuff, consider donating on Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/aquamidi Original composer Nobuo Uematsu. This version by me.

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

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...

Main Theme - Final Fantasy II Remastered 80s Style
Просмотров 396Месяц назад
What an oppressive atmosphere this song conjures! The original song layered two square waves atop each other for a really symphonic sound, so I layered four different string patches on top of each other to reach a similarly lush sound. I hope the end result is as wistful as the original game aimed for. If you love my stuff, consider donating on Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/aquamidi Original composer Nobuo ...
Town - Final Fantasy II Remastered 80s Style

A sadder sort of town theme than the first game. The acoustic guitar and flute combo seemed natural, since Mr. Uematsu is fond of that combination for town music. If you love my stuff, consider donating on Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/aquamidi Original composer Nobuo Uematsu. This version by me.

Reunion - Final Fantasy II Remastered 80s Style

Straight out of some old tragic opera, ain't it? Random observation, but isn't it a bit weird that Firion's sprite in the Famicom version is basically the same sprite as the Warrior from FF1, even though he has a distinct character design? If anything, they could've better emphasized the differences between games there. If you love my stuff, consider donating on Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/aquamidi Origin...
Revival - Final Fantasy II Remastered 80s Style

The original song sounds really nice, and I think I made this sound nice too. I experimented with using convolution reverb to emulate an old 80s reverb module. I ended up getting frustrated with it as it usually made songs sound kinda muffled, so I only used it in a couple songs in the end. This is one of them, can you hear the difference?

Battle Theme 1 - Final Fantasy II Remastered 80s Style
Просмотров 351Месяц назад
The very first thing you do in this game is get your ass kicked in a random encounter. Really sets the tone for the entire experience, doesn't it? But even in this song, you can hear the differences from FF1. FF1's battle theme is more fun and mischievous, whereas this is an epic struggle for life against a horde of monsters. Even the enemy sprites in this game are more monstrous and grotesque....
Prelude - Final Fantasy II Remastered 80s Style
Просмотров 282Месяц назад
Welcome to the beginning of my actual last "80s style" project. I think. It's Final Fantasy 2 with 80s sample libraries I'm mainly using the Universe of Sounds volumes 1 and 2 for the E-mu Emulator II, and the Emulator II factory library a bit as well. FF2 is probably the worst video game whose music I'm going to work on, but it is at least quite an impressive evolution for a game of its day. I...
Staff Roll - Super Mario 64 Remastered

Since about 1990, Mr. Kondo's ending themes had this beautiful, sentimental quality to them. They have this feeling of looking back on a long journey with loving nostalgia. I said this before about Mario World's ending music, but I really think this was composed with an adult looking back on their time playing this as a kid (or with their kid) in mind. You hear a refrain in this song a couple t...

Haunted House - Super Mario 64 Remastered
feels like it came out straight from The Thing
when race starts:
Yo put some lightning on it
This reminds me the battle jingle plays in the Melee arrangement of Bein’ Friends, sounds pretty close!
This is amazing
This music fills my heart with hopes and dreams. I usually listen to this when I'm sad... this always brings me back on track and makes me happy again. ❤
This sounds like the music in Zelda Majora's Mask when chasing Skull Kid
Sit, jam with me
That muted trumpet at the start of the title theme gives me life
I wonder if some of those sampling quirks have to do with the way the game works so well with Dolby Pro Logic.
When you remember life before the world became depressing.
I loved all the tracks! Super faithful to CPS1. I was hoping for this one to also have the punchy drums featured in most versions. I know it's a lot to ask, but is it possible to have a Ver. 2? Thank you for bringing all these songs to HD!!
pluh land
W- Where's the pitch shifts?
They did, and it was a little different from the FFII version.
I always remember there being more of a bassline in this
Just noticed "Castlevania" looks like the latest franchise logo (DS games and onward). This game is truly faster than time itself.
This game was awesome but Mario world took it to another extreme level
No joke, this is my favourite tune from Castlevania III. The ENTIRE soundtrack is fantastic, of course. But this one? Oh, this one… It has a feeling of a full story being told. It starts with a feeling of “this is how the story begins”. Then it goes into the backstory, subsequent banishment of the Belmonts and the fear and darkness creeping in. But in the darkest hour, when nearly all hope was lost, a Belmont stepped up and fought back to drive away the horrors of the night. It renewed hope in everyone. This 8-bit tune demonstrates it all in a single song. The rest of the songs are great gameplay tunes. The prologue theme… is a masterpiece that doesn’t need to be thought of as a game tune to enjoy on it’s own.
Yeah, well, this is so not the 91 SFII soundtrack but the 1994 SUPER SF2 version.
L U C A A A A A A A A A S ! ! ! ! ~A Really P*ssed off Mario.
Do you use an actual SC-55 for these or is it emulation?
I wanna cry... *again*
This is better than the Smash Bros remix
Ahhhh esto es muy intenso! 🚀🦏
Could you make a METROID ost?
0.75 a bit slower but closer to All-Stars speed
3:57 Guys, a huge tornado is at my location and appears and after playing a note on a small whistle I found at the park. What do I do?
7:56 bro the lost levels main theme rocks!
The player select theme made ne think of an old mario kart flash game i used to play called like "mario kart tournament" or someting like that
The flagship theme of the game at least in my opinion
seven wise men is indeed a translation error
Nice video, what instrument is the one that sounds like french horn?
Nice video, what you used for the main melody?
Minted!
That's it for today. FF2 will be finished up this month, barring an extreme bout of laziness or distraction!
ah yes, the BLJ theme
This sounds like a megaman X Sigma battle but is just a kid vs floating lamp theme
I really really like the ambience added here, I always imagined the single note to be the NES doing horror strings or something but here it's like the squealing is the mothership itself hovering in the air as the wind dramatically rushes by. Coupled with where the location of the fight itself and it feels sufficiently cold
Official Gambling OST. May I use it for a video?
Sure, just credit me.
@@aquamidi6775 Of course, thanks!
PIPE MAZE IS SO GOOD
This was used as ahriman's prophecy's opening it was so good😭 That game was my childhood
If Mario 3 gets remastered for the Switch
I think this is one of the few tracks in the game that sound so iconic, that certain parts of the song (1:03) sound so familiar like it's trying to reference a previous theme of Bowser's. But in reality, there is nothing to reference but itself. This is easily one of my favorite final boss themes, and one of my favorite Bowser thems, in the series for that reason. Wonderful job!
