All the old tunes with an odd echo are in the game?
Plus they have used awful instruments too, changing tempos.
They have blatantly just converted them directly and not removed the files they were converted from. =/
A big tut to Nintendo and they all sound awful in the new style and sound nothing like the epic DP soundtrack. (They could have even used the Leaf Green GS soundtrack music and it would sound better.)
Thanks for this, its nice to hear what "music" it has.
In my opinion, FireRed and LeafGreen were just awful, since they used the Gen III synth. I really just found that set offensive.
DPPt was better, but I think they really hit it off with this one. The old sounding stuff is clearly remixed, but it doesn't sound awful. The echo is a crying shame, though.
The new arrangements are bad, and the "8-bit-like" versions are lower quality than the original Gameboy. Proof that more "advanced" and sampled sounds aren't always "better." The old version tunes aren't even in stereo, unlike the originals.
This makes me want to listen to Sapphire's GSFs, etc. in Highly MORE Advanced (aka VBA-M.) If only I could figure out my stupid little modified plugin...

I can't believe you're now complaining about the music. Sure, they have different tempos now, but at least, unlike Fire Red and Leaf Green, they DO keep their original pitches. And of course the battle remixes are the most awesome part of this game.

I loved FRLG's soundtrack, I find evey song has been chucked through a random converter and has been ballsed by the need for trackfucking... The melodies are constantly jumping instruments in some songs and it sounds awful. =/

As I have said, I actually liked the FRLG soundtrack alot.
I find each instrument has undergone soften edges effect and they all sound so silly. Tempos are naffly horrid (What have they done to the surfing and the newbark town theme?)...
The original Gameboy versions sound so much better. The voices were perfectly balanced and crystal clear. Hard-panned stereo for the win. "Advanced" effects like reverb other junk makes the new music sound even more trashy.
Why is it so hard to believe that I don't like the new arrangements?
