Here's an example of a good remix using live instruments which still retains the flavor of the original:

No. Pixel sprites >>> Hand-drawn HD cartoony sprites.
The only games that need HD re-releases are polygonal games made for lower resolution displays where the textures don't stand the test of time as well.
This makes me insanely happy.. It's just as cool as having Yasunori Mitsuda do the music for the DS version of Chrono Trigger.
Analyzing the music, I can tell some of the samples are the same, and some are upgraded (maybe he had the original source samples that were used before converted to SNES spc samples?)
This means that this soundtrack is what the OSV sounded like on his synthesizer before it was "downgraded" to work on the SNES!
I can't wait to hear what this song sounds like:

There's no need for Hiroki Kikuta to deviate from what made the original tracks so amazing. I love that these only feature enhanced instrumentation.
Not what I was expecting, I'll say that. Sounds like a not-quite-impressive MIDI album, to me. In some cases, I might even say the original sounds were better.
Like most improved instrument arranged tracks, the samples for this soundtrack sound a little lacking in bass (at least, compared to what I remember).
However, I have always held the soundtracks from Seiken Densetsu 2 and 3 in high regard. I'm looking forward to hearing more arranged tracks from 2 and would really like arranged tracks for Seiken Densetsu 3.
It's ...
... beautiful.
I'm fuckin' serious. This is the greatest thing I've heard in a while.
