YOU CANNOT BEAT US
EDIT: Watched that old video and this should be the soundfont from the video, I guess that's the one I used long ago?:

Of course some sound better on some songs, and worse in others.Comparing the midi starting with the default sound of Microsoft Sound Mapper, then the "original" unreleased track from Final Fantasy VIII, followed by various soundfonts (starting with the soundfont I mixed and matched for The Way), followed by various randomly chosen soundfonts showing the variety you can find. Lastly, I play the mp3 version I directly put together a long time ago.
Sorry for the various audio volumes, need to put a limiter into the loop!
