Probably gonna ruffle some feathers here but that ironically fits FF7R pretty well. Of course, the characters and story moments are mostly fantastic and it has a fun combat system but the levels and activities are nothing to write home about and the filler can be pretty egregious at some points. While I absolutely love this game and beaten it 100%, it definitely benefits a lot from the amazing soundtrack. A great example is the bike chase in chapter 18. The spectacle and music is phenomenal but what you are actually doing is pretty bland and overly drawn out.
@@teero121 I agree, but you don't judge a painting by the tools used to make it or by which individual color was used, it's all about the beauty of the whole
imagine being nobuo creates one of the most iconic soundtracks from 1997 and then REDO THE WHOLE SOUNDTRACK AND MAKE IT EVEN BETTER THEN IT WAS BEFORE seriously how many musicians can make this music sound epic and modern seriously this shit is fucking hype
From what I've heard, Nobuo-san only composed "Hollow" for this game and Masashi Hamautsu and Mitsuo Suzuki did the other songs. I could be wrong but we should give credit to the other two guys too.
@@MariusBoss11458 yeah of course the others did a wonderful job, but I presume he may have also of course done songs like one winged angel or at least gave pointers and advice, after all its his soundtrack and he wants to make sure its done justice and thankfully it was
Most of the work on the soundtrack for this game was actually not Nobuo Uematsu's doing! I believe the only song he actually composed was Hollow. The talented composers this time are Masashi Hamauzu and Mitsuto Suzuki. This is a fantastic mix!
Man, it is really impressive, so perfect and synchronized that made me cry... I am going to make one similar to yours... you really fed me with many ideas!!!
Credit to Masashi Hamauzu and Mitsuto Suzuki on the arrangements. They said in an interview they really did a lot of work bringing Nobuo's work into the modern era for the new release but also still keeping it very true to the original composition. I say they smashed it out of the park... I mean they even kept the clanking noise in from the original version! So good!
That's like saying "Most of the work on the Moonlight Sonata was done by the London Symphony Orchester and Kent Nagano, not Ludwig von Beethoven!" - Uematsu is the composer, Hamauzu and Suzuki did the arrangement. That is a very different job, but still one that requires a lot of skill and understanding of both music as a whole and the original composition.
For ask much as people joke the intro didnt know how to hold back storywise, the best part is how the MUSIC absolutely intentionally blueballs you with a slow leadup to this and saves the "traditional" rendition till a few big set-pieces in.
Dude this is the best battle version of this game I have ever heard. I mean I have played lots of remix and remasters of this theme and just wow. In the beginning I was like meh a ripoff of the OG theme then the OG theme q'ed up 06:21 and I was choked up instantly. I still get choked up even hearing this. WOW. Just WOW!
You mixed this excellently. I'm actually not a huge fan of the remake score, but I do really like the way you put this all together. I think the large shifts help hide parts where the instrumentation sounds flat vs the original midi, and the progressive parts all make sense together. So, good job!
I'm still searching for another version. Ingame it played when escaping Mako reactor via the tunnels. A percussion and trombone-heavy edit. i used to have it on YT but it got deleted. Anyone got a link?
