Quote (Sherick @ in a Regalia round 3 thread)
I love the melody of Rose of May, but the instrumentation is a bit weird, and I tend to prefer covers of it.

What tracks do you feel this way toward?

I already highlighted that I have this opinion of Corridors of Time, in that I prefer the Chrono Trigger Resurrection remix of it over the original, which has some odd instrumentation choices.

I think CT was a very good soundtrack for it's time, but Chrono Jigga (the rap mashup) comes to mind as an improvement. I know that's probably not a universal opinion, so I don't expect anyone else to agree with that.

There was also the OCRemix of FFVI a couple years back that did some excellent reworkings to already fantastic songs.

Oh, speaking of Loss of Me / Rose of May, here's a nice chiptune rendition of it, with what I think is a better instrument set than the original:

Seriously, just fit that right in the game.

Speaking of Erutan, check out this folk rendition of You're Not Alone

Life goes on, it surely will,
Without me and I wonder:
Will I ever see light again?

There's many from gaming series that's not better than the original but tolerable. They sound different but I don't think I have the right to place one above the other.
