OC ReMix

[@kyotra]

Sweet Jesus, it's as if Nobuo Uematsu got together with Dream Theater and Trans-Siberian Orchestra to make one song of pure epic awesome.

[@LordEvrey]

Risky. Very risky. Many people tried to arrange Dancing Mad and One-Winged Angel. Complicated, powerful pieces. But you even tried to combine them and even gave them your special note, without estranging them. Awesome work, well done. Master 植松伸夫 sure would be proud.

[@adrianmiera445]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S 25 PHASES TO THIS BOSS FIGHT?!

[@Unclesatin]

There is LITERALLY a Dream Theater riff in this that was thrown in there, that they usually just throw in the middle of the song. The influence is fairly obvious. Cool song

[@BlackZethyr45]

I actually had to replay that part to make sure I heard it right. It was awesome.

[@Unclesatin]

i know right? seriously awesome. i love this song.

[@DNova1202]

Unclesatin Yeah, and here I was thinking "Octavarium should have sounded like this." And honestly, this sounds like Symphony X and DT had a baby.

[@Unclesatin]

yeah I would agree there, maybe you can show octavarium this song haha

[@rubemevangelista3868]

it's Metropolis pt. 1 right?

[@foxtrainzenko]

I love the fact that the ominous latin chanting you chose for the One Winged Angel part simply stated. "My son, my son." Rather than the full resolute "Come, come my son, o come and deliver me death." A line that only shows up in the Advent Children remix.

[@SaturnMoriya]

So a few days ago I was browsing through the dancing mad remixes, but none of them did the original justice. But now it's here!

[@xOmniCloudx]

The ballad of the Heartless Angels is what I would call this. But this is easily one of the best OC Remixes ever done. Wow. Impressed on all levels. This could have easily went bad fast but it's just on a level of great all its own.

[@joshl8047]

Eleven minutes, forty six seconds of goosebumps later...and my face is stuck like this 0.0

[@SwordofAslan]

YOU, TOO?! ... Four months later, how are you feeling? LOL

[@joshl8047]

SwordOfAslan Still stuck. 0.0

[@SwordofAslan]

Josh L I guess insurance doesn't cover reconstructive surgery due to OCR damage, eh?

[@joshl8047]

SwordOfAslan Probably not... 0.0

[@SwordofAslan]

Josh L That stinks. The ladies still find you handsome, though, right?

[@karnovrpg]

I don't see myself prancing to this. Perhaps I should have children first.

[@KotoneJulford]

Gotta admit, it's been a while since I can say I actually loved a Final Fantasy remix; a lot of the stuff lately seems outside my narrow range of interests in remix genres, but this one was absolutely phenomenal. Congrats to Prince of Darkness for one of the most gripping remixes I've heard in years.

[@Ferntail626]

This is an example of a song of pure genius. Know how I know that? It's an 11-minute song that has something essential in every millisecond. That's kind of breathtaking.

[@TheCreepypro]

still one of the greatest remixes ever

[@TheRealLink]

As was said, if Kefka and Sephiroth made a song of hatred together, this would be it. IN-SANE.

[@zidine00]

there's not much more that hasn't already been said about this but... this is glorious

[@ContemporaryCompendium]

Jesus Christ. Words really can't describe the feeling I'm getting of hearing my 2 favorite FF songs meshed together in such a beautiful and intricate way. Thank you so much for this!! 🤘🤘

[@dbgtinfinite]

Normally when I say something is beyond awesome....its when I can't describe how awesome it is. But this....This is beyond beyond beyond awesome!

[@lordzikon3666]

Love that Symphony X "The Divine Wings of Tragedy" section!! @3:11

[@IHateEliranAtar]

How about that Metropolis cameo at 3:31? EDIT: Now I'm noticing other cameos such as Black Light Machine by Frost*....

[@Bluelightning110188]

@SilverMario1534 This was actually originally done in mid 2010 for Dwelling of Deuls. It obviously won first place lol. But this is the slightly remixed version from last year he did for his album PuD's DuDs. There's a hilarious story behind the conception of this epic remix if you decide to look into it on Tony's website.

[@Duhemsounds]

The Dancing Mad x One Winged Angel combo is excellent

[@atgraham]

best arrangement of Dancing Mad ever. oh wait, I mean best arrangement of One Winged Angel ever. oh wait, I mean...

[@Molandria]

Oh gosh what a great memory! That first time, after EVERYTHING.... You start that battle. The music the scenery, the fight, ALL the characters involved like that.... Wow, it was so amazing. This version does that such justice.

[@Molandria]

oops, didn't mean to post that. I did a copy/paste, meh whatever. you all are intelligent enough to deduce it.

[@MaurusRehmahrntahn]

I nearly cried. This is too epic for words - and with a reference to my favorite band embedded within it, to boot. I genuinely feel like I need to send the remixer a stipend now, just as payment for generally being AWESOME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THIS GIFT TO OUR PLANET.

[@formosamortem]

After all these long long long years this might still be my favorite remix...like ever....of anything....ever

[@TigerYoshiki]

I love how much effort was put into this. It is one of OCRemix' greatest.

[@Underrated4]

This is the most epic remix of Dancing Mad I have ever heard.

[@TerraExodus]

Absolutely love this as much as I do love bacon.

[@braselthegamer]

This is easily my favorite video game music remix ever.

[@TigerYoshiki]

True that

[@blastermaster7261]

I believe it to be one of the best for sure done so far! It will be remembered.

[@BustaReims]

Also, dat choir at 1:32...freaking awesome

[@ProxyDoug]

The sense of empowerment from 10:38 on is amazing.

[@Numberplay]

12 minutes of pure awesomeness. I'm glad it never finishes.

[@xenophanesiamnot]

This remix is the definition of going above and beyond what is expected. BEST REMIX EVER!!!!

[@dartz005]

This is one of the few tunes that is guaranteed to knock your socks off in the 1st 2 seconds of the song.

[@wyvernlord23]

This track gets the guitar So damn right. I hear so many remixes that don't get it right but this one nails it.

[@MrServantRider]

It's difficult to comprehend how awesome this music is. It's on, if not above, the level of many other amazing classic rock songs of the 80's....

[@SickMinder]

I can't stop listening to this remix, it plays constantly when I'm on my one and a half-hour powerwalks~

[@fictionalsilence]

Jag känner igen dig från loading.se :) Hej!

[@SickMinder]

Haha! Ja ibland händer det att man ser ansikten man känner igen från andra sidor =) Internet är tydligen inte sååå stort ändå!

[@PhantoMace2012]

Holy crap. I had goosebumps almost the entire time, but the parts that REALLY got to me started at 3:48, 4:38, 6:20, 7:03, and 9:36

[@SheerIronWill]

Goosebumps started for me at around 7:00. Fan-Fing-tastic

[@aracheon]

This is one of the best OCRemixes I've heard yet. GREAT WORK!

[@Uboichi]

That's it. I'm never even gonna try submitting a remix again. So much epicness, there's no competing possible with this o_O

[@PhantoMace2012]

Best 11 and a half minutes of glorious remixed awesomeness ever!

[@ffjason]

OMG! Love Sephy and Kefka! Thank you so much for combing the 2 themes together! This is epic! Sephy and Keka pairing would own ALL!!!!!!!!

[@OffbeatPengu_personal]

The only thing this remix is missing is the Kefka laugh soundbyte. Brought it down from a 10\10 to a 9\10. Still amazing XD

[@ReFlectiveMan]

0:00-11:45, finally something that does justice to Dancing Mad!!!!

[@xanderwilliams8400]

Reading Beserk to this 😏🥃

[@HaggardKing]

yes. any rendition of this song HAS to be good. mixed with one winged angel. and 9:38 on is epic as per usual. thank you OC Remix for an amazing upload for the weekend.

[@alcsportkid]

How am I just now listening to this! Oh man. 4:24 is incredible.

[@SerayaShadowharper]

Truly an epic mix. Appropriate for the themes of two Final Fantasy final bosses.

[@SirenoftheVoid]

hands down one of the best remixes i've heard in a while!! great job guys ^^

[@KaijuCountry]

On this night, within our dreams, the final fantasy of the one winged angel is dancing mad.

[@akalenda]

A rousing ballad that wraps us in the unctuous coilings of HEAVY METAL, it is a journey across the immeasurable reaches of space and time, glorying in the vastness of subatomic particles, the scant span between stars, an eternity found in a moment, aeons passed in a mere twelve minutes. You will laugh, you will cry, and maybe... just maybe... you'll learn a little about yourself.

[@Eruedraith127]

Kefka and Sephiroth, ignoring their fanboys' demands to fight, have decided to simply start taking the world over. Through the power of orchestrator music and rock. All hail.

[@kaoskastle]

10:41 HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS I CAN'T STOP HAVING GOOSEBUMPS

[@BustaReims]

An absolutely incredible remix that preserves and honors the original in amazing brilliance. INCREDIBLE.

[@Dekaar]

THIS is the Jewel that OC Remix needed for Dancing Mad!

[@mr-meek]

Dream Theater @ 3:30? ;-) BTW this is easily the best take on Final Fantasy music I have ever heard

[@josephblouin6493]

I was going to comment that this whole track sounded like it was remixed by Dream Theater... But you beat me to it.

[@braselthegamer]

Mike Mertes It's definitely a nod to the Octavarium album. Can't remember which song.

[@Hayrange]

Yeah, I find multiple Dream Theater nods. The 3:30 mark you mentioned is a byte from Scenes from a Memory

[@thund7963]

Mike Mertes there are Symphony X songs mixed up there too

[@JamesEnsor]

Thund Quimera Engine Yeah, 3:12 is definitely a musical quote of Holst's "Mars" that Symphony X also uses rifftastically in the Prelude portion of "Divine Wings of Tragedy".

[@alt-tab-out4318]

God-tier remix. 11/10

[@KaessirAddaj]

Most epic description ever made!

[@MrServantRider]

Yes it definitely sounds on the level of 80's Rock. Absolutely astounding and I find myself amazed by it every time I listen to it.

[@MaurusRehmahrntahn]

@Agentrjdark I was mentioning to a friend how excellently handled this mix is, and said it reminded me of dream theater. THE MOMENT I said that, the quote from "Metropolis" happened, and I nearly JUMPED out of my chair.

[@TheSoldierSaints]

That... was... SUPERB! Two awesome songs for two awesome villains! (No, I'm not a Sephiroth or Kefka fanboy, I just think they're good villains.) And mixed them in like this! Seemless!

[@Mcbeast11]

Take a bow son! This song has been immense!

[@iamthetie]

okay, this was absolutely fantastic. ahhhh I can't get rid of the goosebumps!

[@LaughingUltros]

I got every single reference in this by the way, feels good man.

[@RabanoDoom]

How they made it more awesome I have no idea, it's like adding sugar to snickers... But somehow this sugar plays ukulele, explodes, tap dances, and cosplays deidara all at the same time. Pure epic.

[@Juniper_Rose]

Symphonic electro power metal is the only genre that really fits this song and I've never known until now.

[@UndeadXII]

This is so good even ultros is happy.

[@StevenSarasin]

Yup, this is overwhelmingly positive.

[@insomnisxannim4675]

Pure awesome, from beginning to end. All Hail to the Prince of Darkness!

[@rmeyer0120]

One of these days I'm going to get in trouble head banging at my desk.

[@rawrkitteh94]

At certain parts, the choir in the background actually sounds as if they were singing "Sephiroth."

[@cerebralpaladin]

So awesome. Nothing more that can be said.

[@Atrayne89]

dude..... that was awesome

[@Cybercooties]

YES YES YES! AMAZING REMIX OF AN AMAZING SONG!

[@richardwalker2881]

*cue 1 literally big multi phase boss battle that doesn't disappoint, both in 2d and 3d*

[@Zepsi]

Awesome song and also awesome references to Symphony X and Dream Theater, love the bass tap in Metropolis :]

[@blastermaster7261]

Still the greatest mix from FF history!

[@xctalyon]

Lol at Dream Theater's riff. Wasn't really listening to the song but then I heard the Dance of Eternity and my eyes popped ^^

[@mjd3879]

this feels like a revised national anthem for America, but as it plays, the president performs a dark blood ritual which raises a massive 3 headed eagle that breathes fire and laser beams from the eyes.

[@Korpikopan]

also a really sweet Frost* reference in it ! Black Light Machine solo ftw :D

[@Crateria]

PoD - The Man, The Myth, The Legend.

[@HappleProductions]

I don't know about one to describe, but I know two words that have been elevated to a higher plane of existence for their presence in this song: feta cheese.

[@manuelkanakaris64]

this is like classic music but then yet modern

[@dancrowdus]

THIS IS SO AWESOME

[@Orillion123456]

The most serious and least successful and the least serious and most successful FF villain team up for an absolutely godly piece of music.

[@bionicdragon5]

Hang on. Is that a bit of Doctor Who I hear? It's not the main theme song, but it still sounds like something from it. Listen carefully at 1:47.

[@DoctorSwellman]

This sounds like Dream Theater took the track and mixed it with Octavarium. Holy fucking shit this is good.

[@Ibarrai]

Superb remix!!!

[@accountfor1reason]

I know jack about music, but after some contemplation, a little Mass Effect 3, and more than a couple of replays, I did in fact decide to keep my feet.

[@AnryaDeFreak]

o.O MY Dad's prancing to this right now...

[@Batmaaaan23]

1:03 YESSSSSS I feel the epicness coming!

[@himez123]

wow this is amazing

[@arcticmonkeysdream]

03:30 the break down from the dance of eternity by Dream Theater 01:26 of that song is the same as what is in this song

[@balloon970]

Phantomstrider brought me here

[@FunniehDonuts]

Same

[@Cidriel]

@Demonstray tiny Dream Theater solo reference at about 3:28, too!

[@TehLuvablePup]

Yes, yes he is. I know that even though this is the first I've seen of him.

[@valoriann]

I FEEL LIKE A GOD!

[@zombehnashun]

Yet another song made by OCR that fits one of my OC characters from my Adventures of Nim idea! This one suits Shade: the Infernal Doppleganger, the main antagonist of the series. Damn, OCR, you know how to get the job done!

[@tehquiper6796]

One could imagine this being the bgm of a WWII powerpoint

[@Auragongal]

Awman, nearly four minutes in, and I hear a few notes that sound like "Neener neener neener!" It's as if Kefka's actually taunting the listener through the guitar there!

[@michaelgulak5625]

Dance of Eternity @3:30
