This piece is ok. It's definitely good enough to be in a video game. It's probably not the kind of thing I'd listen to apart from the video game, but then most FF music isn't either.

I'll leave the in-depth criticism up to Dev (since I'm really bad at it).

PS. Hooray for 350KiB/s downloads! New server has bandwidth, yes it does.

I'll start by agreeing with Temp's comments. Though, the more I listen to it, the more the melody grows on me. The instrumentation you have is really pretty good; the weird detuned flute augments the atonal melody you have nicely, and the guitars underneath help to keep the beat ... not that you need it. The piece has a very mechanical, reminding me of the Black Mage Village music from FF9. Not sure this would go with Titan City... maybe a small portion of it. (We really should have more in-depth discussions regarding the details of our world locations.)

The good parts (which I'll only mention briefly, so as to say "keep doing this") are your instrumentation (as I already mentioned) and the undertone parts you add with guitar and some string patterns later on. It really helps a listener to make sense of the tone of the piece... it's not just a bare melody running around where a person might as "what the heck is it doing?" So good part writing (and that is not often an easy thing to do)!

My biggest gripe -- which is hardly even a criticism more than a suggestion for future work -- is that your arrangement is a little too homogenous. This is the part where you simply have to spend more time expanding on the piece... I think you just got too lazy and didn't want to write new parts, so you just repeated what you had before. ;) Not always a bad thing to do, but there aren't any alternatives. For a song like this, it might be sufficient just to mix it up more than you do currently. Try giving the melody to a different instrument, or have a percussion solo, or take out the percussion and do a smoother bar of the theme, maybe with a slow build to bring the percussion back in. Get creative.

Or... I guess I should say "stay creative." This is already good, but I'm looking forward to hearing more.

It's twue. -_-

Wow, I'm a fan of it. I'm not the greatest music minded person out there, so I'll just say I like it and kinda be done with it. However, I agree with Dev when I say I'm not sure if it fits with Titan City. For me, it is just too fast of a tempo for a town. I feel it would suit very well in the background of say a mini-game puzzle. Perhaps one that takes place in Titan city, and remix the peice as the background for Titan City... I dunno, I'm not that wise with music. But it sounds good.
