This rendition of Wutai is also pretty bad ass, and has lots of bass =P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDLUdo3zgIk Generally though, the thing about bass is that it's hard to get right without damaging the dynamics of the track and becoming over-bearing/drowning out the rest, and it can often...

I'm not at all sure I would agree with this knowing the other reworked versions of FFVII tracks found in spin-off titles - many whom to me sound either over-worked and poorly mixed, or just flat. We can hope though. I never much liked the Distant World's one. It's sound-levels and transitions...

Yeah, I can agree that there are a few issues. I've yet to find a single remade/remixed/rearranged track that hits full marks on everything (and I doubt that can be done universally in either case due to perceptions amongst fans being different), but this guy scores the highest yet (and I count...

Yeah, I'm thinking I need to start tweeting the hell out of this in Japanese at the SE members account, because this is just so much win. The Bombing theme he's made goes better than the original track with the game-play trailer =S Also, this guy is criminally under-subscribed. Someone call the...

This needs sharing, because as far as I'm concerned this is probably the best full remasters of FFVII tracks that I know of. I give you Pontus Hultgren, my definite candidate for the Remake soundtrack : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxAX2CW8tcpq9Sg-wrwSyQh_5gs-mMcOv Like seriously...

My problem with this are two-fold : A.) the entire VR thing in CC is much like the ridiculous technological gap between the prequel Star Wars films and the original. That VR thing does not belong in the FFVII universe. B.) It's entirely consistent with the non-VR fight-scenes you see in the game...

You really want a deconstruction of every scene in that game? Simply put, I think the vast majority of scenes in that game reek of "kewl" - the worst offenders off the top of my head being the fight scene on top of the Junon canon, and the final showdown where Zack dies. [and on a different...

A similar problem is true for almost all locations in VII except Midgar - with each town being weirdly small, and with abysmal infrastructure both within and tying the locations together. The lore and the world is extremely inconsistent in that sense, so I'm really confident that the world-map...

I just want the complete game. No collectors editions, no fancy-pants marketing %&#&%$. Just a pure white case with the FFVIIR logo, like the original game, and all the content inside. Not buying the episodes one by one, and not buying anything else either for that matter. Greedy %&#& corporate...

I think your characterization of those scenes is more unfair if you consider them in any way shape or form even remotely stylistically close to what was going on in the original. Cloud's entry into the train after escaping the reactor, or his flip off the train arriving at the reactor are both...

Then again, CC was directed by Tabata, and produced by Imaizumi - two completely different people than who's working on the remake. I also think CC is somewhat of a mixed dish. Some they did good, and other aspects of that game's direction is the exact thing I wouldn't want for the remake at...

Yeah, that gesture wasn't even so bad. Cloud doing squats all over the place though... Not sure how well that will look.

This isn't necessarily true though, and I'd make the case that it certainly isn't for FFVII. Watch anime, or play Japanese games even with current gen graphics, and overly dramatic and silly body-language found in FFVII is all over the place (Metal Gear, Bayonetta, Devil May Cry just off the top...

In terms of the emotional stuff, I'm looking forward to pretty much each of the tragic back-story reveals - Barret's back-story and the Dyne fight, Cid's failed space-venture and when he realizes the truth, Nanaki finding out the truth about his father etc. But, just in terms of the spectacle...

Well, looking apart from the fact that I was talking in general, about a general sentiment (which is why I didn't quote you or anything you said in particular), let's look at your original post : which, to me, sounds like you're making the statement that Barret's characterization (which would...

I still don't get the beef some people have with the characterization of Barret in the original game. Looking at the overwhelming popularity of the character among black gamers, I find it hard to except the argument that his character didn't hit the spot in most regards. Seriously though, look...

Because there not being a thing as true altruism in the real world, does not negate the fact that a large portion of the human race still believe in altruism and lets it effect their writing. That's pretty much what I wrote exactly in the last point, yet you make this error in replying. The...

In a way, rewriting it to have Sephiroth being a character who's brains been addled by the mutations caused from the Jenova cells might make more sense than the way the plot originally was. I mean, in what conceivable way does flying around in space destroying planets ad infinitum have any...

Because some words, if tied to real world languages and cultures, and you're informed about the etymology of the word, is a "fun-fact" that scratches the curiosity about the creative process surrounding the lore - whilst a pure fantasy name on the other hand, is just that, pure fantasy. There...

No, he's never completely selfless, but there is a spectrum here, and a very different reason between working to stop a person who burned down your home-town, killed your mother and a person you cared deeply for, who's about to destroy the world - and working as a professional soldier that has...
