I like this unique remake

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

I ordered a used copy, so I can't comment on the main seller here, but I can review the music on the album. It's an interesting progressive-ish rock remake of popular songs throughout the Final Fantasy series, and if you want you can go on YouTube to have an initial listen to see if you like this style and to see what songs are in the album. I love it, especially "Clash on the Big Bridge".

Awesome, if you can play it

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 29, 2016

Verified Purchase

The music is awesome, if you can play it. I tried it in 2 CD players and my computer. None worked. I was about to return it for being defective. Then I tried my wife's computer and it worked, and the disc plays in my car's stereo. When it worked in my wife's computer, I ripped the disc and emailed the files to myself, then I had the album on my computer and phone, but it was a pain in the butt.

Once you find something that will play it, the music itself is great, if you're a fan of Nobuo Uematsu's work. Music from the Final Fantasy series, rearranged by him into rock songs.

One of my favorite Final Fantasy albums

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 11, 2005

Verified Purchase

If you love the music of Final Fantasy, especially the battle music, then you will love this album. Being a musician myself, I always wished I could do something akin to this album: get a bunch of my friends together and play rock-band arranged versions of Final Fantasy music (video game music, in general). Geeky, I know. Anyway, the arrangements are excellent and the recordings are really high quality. If for no other reason, this album is worth it for "Dancing Mad", the final battle music from Final Fantasy VI (III in the US). A great album that I definitely recommend.

An interesting 80s metal style of the Final Fantasy music. Dancing Mad is a very interesting piece on this CD, Those Who Fight Further (one of my favorites) is a blast to hear in this compilation. If you prefer metal to orchestral music, I highly recommend this rendition by Nobuo.

Final Fantasy Goes Electric

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

While there's nothing really wrong with this collection of rerecorded Final Fantasy tracks. However I've always loved the music's orchestral quality, so the the faux-heavy metal style used by the Black Mages isn't really my cup of tea. The songs themselves still hold that magic but the overall feel just wasn't what I'd hoped it would be.

Excellent album for fans of prog and metal.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 11, 2013

Verified Purchase

I was shocked to find that a metal album for Final Fantasy music existed, much less that it was PROG metal. Fans of either genre will enjoy this album, it is easily one of my favorites.

This is the version of Dancing Mad I love. Uematsu's Magnum Opus? Either way, it's the ultimate, ultimate, ultimate HUAHHH

A little too awesome.

Get your gaming blood boiling with epic final fantasy rock. This album is not for everyone; lesser gamers might suffer severe injury at the awesomeness that is the black mages. If you love final fantasy you also love the black mages and this cd.

Final Fantasy series battle themes

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 21, 2014

Verified Purchase

This CD contains the Final Fantasy series battle songs from FF1 to FF10, arranged in a Progressive Rock / Metal style, including the gloriously epic "Dancing Mad", with its masterful organ cadenza. Since I am a fan of Progressive Metal and was raised with FF7 - 8 - 9 as a teenager, what more could I ask for?

Vendedor lo mando por SEPOMEX, asi que tardó en llegar (3 semanas más). Pero afortunadamente, llegó intacto y la calidad de sonido es excelente.
