Desert Wasteland (Final Fantasy VII OST) 

ikr. gives me goosebumps

Really underrated track for sure

Way better than Rebirth's depiction. It conveys the desolation and hopelessness of the desert prison far better than the mini-game infested mess of Rebirth.

They ruined it

Agreed. @@chumpian

Original: “This is a desolate corner of a cruel and desperate world.” Rebirth: “This is where a WACKY CRIME BOSS with his VERY OWN THEME SONG hangs out!!!”

@@chumpian The Rebirth version is alright. It's definitely a different take/style on the song, and is good music by itself. The original is a much, much better take on the song that gives off the hopeless, dryness feeling of the desert and being stuck in it. I would have loved to have gotten a more faithful adaptation of this track in Rebirth, but Rebirth is a bad adaptation of FF7 in general so I do not expect the music to be faithful, I only expect it to be good by itself (and not 1:1 compared to the original).

That is because the main point of rebirth's desert wasteland was to show you more than just a depressive place you "so have to get out of"

Crime in a prison? What a concept... If Rebirth couldn't get it right the first time around I don't expect them to the next time.

I’m not holding my breath. Remake and Rebirth feel almost scared of dwelling on the darker, more “depressing” aspects of the original game - they add in comic relief and more lighthearted elements almost constantly, like the player is going to turn the game off if they see anything that makes them feel slightly unsettled or sad. (Extra ridiculous, because the story’s cautionary themes of a dying, dystopian world and a broken protagonist should REQUIRE it to feel desolate and oppressive much of the time.) They even change the plot to file down the harder edges of the original story (Avalanche and Zack being morally ambiguous, NPCs you know dying in the plate drop, more obvious references to drug addiction, abuse and prostitution, Sephiroth being mysterious, cold and ruthless instead of popping in every hour or so to LOL at Cloud and twirl his nonexistent mustache). Square is clearly targeting a different audience with the remakes than they were with the original. They don’t make “sad, depressing” games like Final Fantasy VI, VII or Tactics anymore.

@@gatotsu2501 I agree 100%. OG just has a better and darker vibe about it. Remake and Rebirth is too sensational and the tonal whiplash is too much, and like you mentioned, the suspense, build up and mystery of Sephiroth is totally gone.

No you definitely can as it will be worse than the original.

@@JuanAntonioGarciaHeredialmao wrong

@@varia4435 its worse

@@varia4435 I heard it its wrong

@@JuanAntonioGarciaHerediawhy are acting like a child 💀

Nah Rebirth really dropped the ball with this song. They did not do it justice at all

Yeah that's exactly what I want in a crime infested prison in the middle of a desert...to be more upbeat...

Were you dropped on the head a few times too many? Fucking retard, rebirth is dogshit

Corel Prison is only more upbeat in Rebirth because of the goofy thugs. In the original it was way more desolate/depressing.
