I wrote a couple of original pieces for The Omega years ago. I wanted to use them in Ruin but they didn't feel "right" with the changes to the new game.
I ran across Anvil Studios the other day and decided to give it a shot. I loaded up my old World Map and basic Battle themes and did some adjusting. Feel free to list to them below and let me know what you think.

Nice, much improved. I don't know how it sounds for you, but the harp in the original battle track was pretty out of place for me. The new overworld music sounds very regal rather than like overworld music for a ruined world though. I listened to it on loop for a long time having forgotten about it; it loops well without becoming irritating.

Thanks man! Yeah, someone here mentioned the harp thing years ago and I ignored it. But I totally get what they were saying now. I think the strings sound better as the harp part for sure.
As for the world map music, there is a possibility I may move it to use somewhere else. I remember thinking when I first wrote the song that I wanted it start with a sound like "impending danger or doom" but then resolve a bit to give a sense of hope in a world of "madness". Now whether that piece actually accomplishes that or not is up for debate.
I may consider a darker theme at some point though, but I think something along the lines of the ruined world in FFVI would be too drastic for what I'm trying to accomplish here. I do really appreciate the feedback though!

Hey so I listened to both versions of both tracks, and have mixed opinions.
The World theme remix I definitely like much better, just has a slightly better "vibe" to it.
The Battle theme though, I like the original better. I find the bass really helps flesh the sound out a lot, whereas I found the remix tinny sounding. I do agree with TMC that the harp sounded out of place, but that's because it was competing too much with the main theme. I felt like if the volume were turned down it had an alright texture to it and would sit well in the background.
Just my two cents, don't have the game to judge.
