[Misc] Remix of "Theme of the Empire" from Final Fantasy XII

I have actually been working on a remix of "Theme of the Empire" from Final Fantasy XII on-and-off (heavy emphasis on the "off" part) for a while, and although the remix is still rather incomplete, I think I've gotten far enough (one minute and twelve seconds of it) to show my progress and ask for opinions and critique. ^_^;

For reference as to what I'm remixing, this link leads to a YouTube video that plays the original song of "Theme of the Empire", which I'm remixing. Please note, however, that what I'm remixing largely starts forty-three seconds into the song.

Now, without further ado, here's the actual remix. And an extra link, if the previous one doesn't work.

If this remix sucks, one - or any combination of several - of the following explanations might explain why:

• I am not by any means a remixer. This is my first time trying to remix something, so I am as inexperienced as they come. ^_^;
• I am also an amateur who pulls off these really crazy projects on a whim; I therefore have no recording equipment, no remixing software, and no professional audio hardware at all. I composed this utilizing MIDI software, then converted it to MP3 utilizing a custom-made soundfont...which is probably one of the most un-professional ways to do this. XD
• I do not play any of the instruments featured in this remix (which includes distortion guitar, electric guitar, drum set, timpani, french horn, and trumpet; also thrown in are a string ensemble and a brass section). So if you play one of these instruments and feel that something sounds off, like I'm somehow shoving an anchor through a guitar or plugging a toilet plunger into a trumpet, that's probably why. x_x
• I'm sorry, but I'm not Tony Sta- *bricked* ...Erm. I'm sorry, but I'm simply not the awesomeness that is Hitoshi Sakimoto. T_T

Okay, I'm done whining. Listen and comment, please. ^_^;
