Ophanin - Enjoyed the orchestral take on this source. It's catchy, especially the last part.
HoboKa - The song start slow but I liked the effects you added in the first part of the song, they work funny. At some points the song is confusing, especially at the end.
Necrox - Short, but there are some good ideas in the song. Nice style.
Dex - The song is short and the end is abrupt but I like the genre choice and the guitars.

ophanin - Very lively and dynamic interpretation. Really liked the meter change early on.
Dex - Mixed well, sounds good for an unfinished remix.
hoboka - Nice concept. The conservative parts got a bit static later on. Adding an instrument or two would work nicely.

ophanin - Incredible work with the style switch and orchestration sounds very realistic! Necrox, Nice percussion and interpretation thar - a fade-out ending or something woulda worked honestly. Dex, this is very MnP with cool e-guitar work haha - needs more development though

There's a lot to like here and these were all very close for me.

ophanin - definitely has the most going on, although I feel like it strays from the source quite a lot.

Necrox - really liked the half-orchestral half-modern take on the piece and the arp. Parts of this make me think of the Secret of Mana soundtrack.

hoboka - The funnest take on the piece. I enjoyed the voices and laughter but thought they were a little overdone.

ophanin - Loving the orchestral take on the source. The percussion elements work very well with the large range of instruments used. My only slight criticisms are that they occasionally sound a little mechanical and that the mix seems to be panned a bit heavily to the right. Otherwise excellent job!

hoboka - Sadly, the use of the infamous 'Tidus Laugh' earns you an immediate last place. Sorry about that ;)
In seriousness though; there are some nice elements in here. The funky bassline is cool and the flute near the end sounds great. However there is a feeling here of chucking everything at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Necrox - A nice energetic mix, love the use of the glockenspiel throughout (got some Undertale flashbacks for a second there). Percussion is on-point and the bassline is understated while still being present. A shame it's not fully finished, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

Dex - PUUUUUUUUUNK! I'm always a fan of getting electric guitars and punk beats into a mix. The energy is raucous and the guitars are dissonant. My only complaint is that the bass is lost in the mix. But as you said; not bad for a days work.

Tough vote! I seriously think everyone deserves the first place.

Electric Flails - very creative take, and the orchestra sounded great and was well arranged.

Cactuar Juggling - Loved the funny bits, but the arranging and sound was very good otherwise as well.

Thunder Ensemble - Lovely sounding mallets. Percussion ensemble? Inventive approach, and fits very well! The drums + bass entering bring a good energy boost as well.

Thunder Fantasy - Whoa, I wouldn't have thought to transform the material in this way. I'm happy to be surprised this way!

Ophanin - You get first place. I really like your play on rythm, and your remix feels more like an original piece than a remix, which is awesome and really got me good.
Necrox - Second place is for you, I really enjoyed this remix, and it feels like it could have been in FFX remaster.
Hoboka - God this has meme potential. I couldn't stop laughing, seriously I really had fun.
Dex - I quite liked it, though I couldn't stop feeling that it lacked something. Really great tho.

I'm glad PRC is still that active, And the contestants did really well.
