Li stated: "I love how ''Re-Powered Within'' has turned out. We remixed and remastered the original music with a more modern production in the vein of our last two releases. The result is a clearer, more powerful sound. The fans will get to hear the music in better detail, bringing out parts they couldn't hear so well before, and injecting new excitement into the songs we love even more now."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://dragonforce.com/2018/04/05/dragonforce-to-release-re-powered-within-on-may-4th-on-earmusic-fully-re-mixed-re-mastered-and-re-powered/|title=DRAGONFORCE TO RELEASE "RE-POWERED WITHIN" ON MAY 4TH ON earMUSIC.
