You just gonna wait for ps5 or pc?

I hear you about the money issue. Hopefully you'll be able to save up. If not, at least you'll be able to experience the remake vicariously through others

 

[Firstone33]

Lol I did with ffxv and others so won't be anything new for me to do in that regard

Airbuster was the first instance of “Those Who Fight Further” in the OG. Really awesome to hear thrashing electric guitars in his boss theme. Hopefully this assuages the folks who were worried about the soundtrack being “too orchestral.”

 

[Obsidian Fire]

On the one hand, at least it's not the AC version of Those Who Fight Further and is instead something new.

On the other hand, I can fast see this OST becoming like FFXIII's OSTwhere I start cringing whenever strings and syth strings pop up because they're so common, they get annoying from an audio pov (Blinded By Light in FFXIII had this in spades). Given that they're both by Hamauzu...

Some of the other ff games music made me cringe and xiii was one of them with some the only theme I did not like in AC was the piano version of those who fight in the tifa vs loz fight I felt it did not fit the fight scene

[Misterbadguy]

I absolutely adore that highway render so I'll certainly be using that theme the most.

 

[Makoeyes987]

.... God I really want that Sephiroth one.

 

[Cannon_Fodder]

I can't place the song that plays in the Sephiroth one and it's driving me nuts. Can anyone throw me a bone?

It's the Shinra theme.

 

[Cannon_Fodder]

It's the Shinra theme.

Haha, wow, that's embarrassing. Is it a version we haven't heard before or is my ear for music just that bad?

Ah yeh - stands to reason ? All good.

I don't know if anyone had mentioned this, but the downloads (wallpaper and avatars) for Red XIII don't work. The wallpaper is a .html file and the avatars' zip file can't be extracted properly.

[JBedford]

The URLs are broken and are pointing to Sephiroth's folder. If you want the avatars, they are here: https://ffvii-remake.square-enix-games.com/images/downloads/redxiii/redxiii_avatars.zip. The wallpapers don't seem to be at the expected location though.

 

[Radigar]

Here the Red XIII Wallpapers without URL bugs:

I love the details

 

[NineSpiral]

It's funny because I saw no one ever talking about them before it was announced it wasn't the original cast, now all of a sudden they were this incredible group of talent.

The same could be said about the reception of the voice actors. I don't remember hearing 90% of it being about George Newbern or any of the Advent Children voice actors being so terrible that they should have replaced them right after the first Compilation project.

 

[Makoeyes987]

It's simply the human nature of valuing what is lost. People who were fans, or were at least somewhat attached to the original cast, are going to now feel more value and attachment to said cast, now that they are missing. Humans fundamentally fixate on the loss of something, rather than the gain of another. We're loss adverse. So that takeaway feels harder for those who were attached to the original cast, versus those who hated or were completely neutral to said cast.

I didn't like it either, honestly. But at the same time, seeing the talent of the new cast, their passion, and the grace and professionalism from the old cast has frankly gotten me to move on. The fact is it's already been done. The voicing has been completed and there's nothing that can be done about it.

 

[Odysseus]

Have any of the old voice actors spoken out about all this nonsense? I know early on Quinton Flynn actually encouraged this behavior, which is disappointing, but I haven't heard anything since then.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Steve Burton confirmed they were all fired.

They were called in and summarily let go. That's not really a secret or whatever. S-E essentially dropped them like an ugly prom date and went with a new voice crew. It's a shame but that's really all that happened.

What's great though is, he's clearly moving on and is able to have a good perspective on it. He did have a great run, to me at least. 20 years is a long ass time.

 

[Odysseus]

No, I knew that, I mean about this awful fan behavior towards square regarding their replacement. Have any of the old actors done anything about the "project reunion" thing?

 

[Makoeyes987]

That has nothing to do with them. Steve, Beau and I think a few others have wished the new actors well.

Die hard fanatics that don't have a realistic understanding of the nature of business and common sense can't really be reasoned with.

It's not gonna stop until the game comes out and the "Project Reunion" patch is missing.

 

[Odysseus]

I was hoping that maybe they'd tell the fanatics to calm down and let it go (not that they would) but you're right, it's really not their concern.
