Random gushing about the soundtrack: a so-far underappreciated track is The Rendez-Vous Point aka the Sector 5 Reactor bgm. It's a creatively arranged blend of Bombing Mission, Mako Reactor, Shinra Inc. and Main Theme. It's astounding that so many motifs have been crammed into one track. There was a great decision to not only have the motifs constantly passing the baton, but also the instrumentation changes from phrase to phrase -- the piano strings combo, a clean electric guitar, an oboe and marimba, some crystal synth, and just two peeps from the brass section. The time signature mostly stays in 4/4 but every once in a while indulges in some 5/4 goodness. The end result is a dappling soundscape that never lets you get too familiar or comfortable, portending that this is another reactor bombing mission, sure, but it's sure to be nothing like the last. Brilliant.

I counted at least four, maybe six new tracks in the Intergrade Trailer.

0:54 - A “Land of Chocolate” style version of Descendent of the Shinobi (probably dungeon bgm)
1:40 - a battle track of Descendent, but it doesn’t match the last track as much as...
4:23 - a battle track of Descendent that matches the first track perfectly, probably the “battle edit” for random encounters
2:53 - correct me if I’m wrong, but this variation of Seph’s theme is new. It gives me Weapon Raid vibes, which I dig.
5:03 - this seems like a whole new tune. If it uses FF7 melodies, I can’t pick ‘em out.
5:18 - a short music cue, likely for a cutscene.

Got my copy of OST Plus over the weekend - knew this already from the base OST but Yoshitaka Suzuki and Shotaro Shima are now more than ever the MVPs, their arrangements are incredible. Everyone pulls their weight of course, the entire soundtrack is fantastic, but stuff like Destiny Comes and Tightrope are a cut above IMO.

Here's Youtube version of my medley of new music themes from Yuffie / Intergrade reveal trailer without voices. It has video footage from the trailers:



What's cool about this trailer is when you watch it without voices you begin to notice how camera cuts, general action and Yuffie's fighting match the rhythm of the music. They did a good job with it!
