The Man, The Myth, The Wookie

[Zargabaath]

Weird title for a thread you may be thinking. I know; it is from a cd I have that has remixed classic video game songs. I got the cd from a friend who I think knew the people who made the cd or from a person who knew the people. Either way, the cd had that written on it and so that title stuck. They are songs from the Final Fantasy series, Castelvania, Metroid, Tetris, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Zelda, Mega Man X, Street Fighter and maybe something from another series but I am unsure.

What is the point of sharing this information without you, the reader, being able to listen to the aforementiond music? I created some basic videos for the music and uploaded them to youtube; each song has a picture from Final Fantasy, not form their respective series/game, the pictures aren't the main focus so I did not care too much about them - the music is vital. There are seventeen songs in total and I'll try to put the correct game/series next to each song so you may be able to listen to the ones you have more interest in, though there may be some mistakes with what game/series the song came from, my apologies. Those who know where the song is properly from, please let me know so I may fix any errors. Thanks.

Before I put the links in here I would like to note that I tried to create a playlist for simple viewing however I am having difficulties with that, sorry . I hope you enjoy the music as much as I have. You can comment on the music or the pictures, if you were really liked them (they were not done by me, I found them on the internet).

i have listened to the first one. it is almost like a soft rock remake. i play the guitar myself so i enjoy these

Well it's really late for me right now, but the first one is Terra in Black, probably the most renowned fan remix of Terra's theme.

I recognized Song#4 because of this fine piece of work
YouTube - Go M.D. X, Go! FTW!

And yeah song#9 Metroid? How can you NOT recognize Ken Master's theme from Street Fighter?

I'll do more later.

I was about to expand a bit on a few of the songs, but unfortunately I had to turn my computer off for a while. So, as far as I can reckon...

• Song #3 seems to be Bloody Tears, from Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. Took me a while to figure out with the clue, and I went for the first version of the game (as the theme has been "updated" for later remixes), mostly because it seems to be on a slower tempo.
  
• Song #4 holds a passing resemblance to the Escape theme from the original Metroid, which is why it may have caused the confusion. Fortunately, Cain seems to have got it right. Oddly enough, I re-played MMX3 not so long ago; odd that I couldn't figure out the Abandoned Armory stage song, house of Blast Hornet. Perhaps it's because the original is a tad faster?

Tried to get 2 and 5, but no such luck. #5, for some reason, seems to be similar to the kind of songs in FF8 (for a moment, it seemed like Balamb Garden, but it doesn't match at all). #2 for some reason seems like the Metroid Title theme song, but cuts in the middle towards another song. So it's a Metroid medley?

First off, thanks for the help to both of you.

It is quite easy that I did not recognize Ken Master's theme - I really haven't played Street Fighter "a lot" and haven't in a while. Couple that fact with when that game was out, I was too busy playing outside; I wasn't really into video games until I moved down to Virginia. I don't even think my friend caught Song 9 as being from Street Fighter and he has played the games more than I and was able to recognize more of the songs than myself as well.

Song #11 is a remix of some sort of "Dancing Mad", Kefka's theme. That's all I really know.

Your Chrono Cross ones are correct, I don't think people gave Chrono Cross enough credit for great music.
~Song # 14 is an upbeat Guitar version of "Radical Dreamers" if you needed the name : YouTube - Chrono Cross OST - Radical Dreamers
Or "Dream Fragments" : YouTube - Chrono Cross OST - Dream Fragments

~Song # 15 is another version of "Magical Dreamers": YouTube - Chrono Cross OST - Magical Dreamers


~Song 16 comes from "Dreams of a Shore near Another World": YouTube - Chrono Cross OST - Dreams of the Shore Near Another World
