The new FFVII battle theme is godly
The new FFVII battle theme is godly
God it sounds so good
Damn looks like the whole OST is going to be traditional orchestra. not even incorporating guitars.
There are a couple of awkward moments in the song where they transition from one part to another without the "middle piece" that was in the original battle theme.
They're going to make the most common song the most generic because it can't really have a distinct theme. Unless they're going to go all out and have a thematic variation of the fight theme for every distinct environment.
Anyway, not every song is going to be orchestral. There are several songs in the original that were obviously made to be played with guitars or other instruments, but it hardly sounds like anything in particular in a midi. I hope they put at least some metal in it like they did with the AC soundtrack.
>my cinematic version of the original
I thought they said Uematsu would be arranging the new soundtrack. He'd never turn his original music into something so bland.
It adds too many elements which muddies the underlying theme quite a lot. To be honest, I would have preferred a more faithful recreation a lot more, like this one.
It's alright.
Its alright I guess.
The original sounds way better to me, but I'm also biased because FFVII has my favorite overall OST ever.
I don't think it's the full song. It's stitched together by someone who either somehow ripped it from trailer or ingame footage, or leaked it from the company to whom the trailer production was outsourced.
The boss theme also sounded like some generic cinematic garbage.
According to some of the people who got to play an extended version of the demo it’s apparently an adaptive soundtrack that adds more instruments depending on how well you fight. Adds guitar and then if you’re using multiple limit breaks or fighting extremely well a choir gets overlaid.
I seriously doesn't hope that every boss fight is going to be as scripted as the Guard Scorpion fight.

This sounds better, but it's not from the game. I guess we'll have to wait and see. The theme from the trailer kind of lacked a bit of punch and catchiness.
Soulless.
It was ripped from Playstation's Twitter. They posted a video with just the song and no other audio showing gameplay and basic info.
It's a modern cinematic action game, of course every boss is going to be like that.
this just sounds like someone took the midi data of the original piece and put it through reason
You do a certain amount of damage and it changes to a different phase, why is that bad? Camera moving + flashy lights = movie game?
literally soulless
I think accurate recreation is great when the source material is already really, really good.
It might also be dynamic music that changes parts based on the action and that's why it's partially disjointed. The original fight song has distinctly different themes in parts of it that in no way reflect how the fight is actually going. I wouldn't mind the game changing between those themes based on what's going on. Afterall, everyone loves Rules of Nature.
it's not even just plain recreation, it's just completely ripped from the original and given new instrument samples
>tfw no PC announcement.
Just can't justify spending hundreds of dollars for one game. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.
Even if that were true, is that not a type of recreation as well? The most faithful kind, even?
>Tifa
no, it's just putting it through reason like i said
if i just stole midi data from the ff7 pc disc and changed the instrument patches that's not really me recreating anything
i'm not recreating a doa model when i rip it and change the textures a bit
Sounds too airy. Original version had very chunky mids and lows.
So are we gonna bang Aerith or what
So why the fuck is Sephiroth in this game? If it's just a remake of Midgar he shouldn't be in it, seeing as he first showed up in a flashback in the town you go to after Midgar
I can't wait for all the sfm porn that's gonna come out of this game
Your people's fertility rate is hitting a peak low and all you can do is drain your libido and life force to virtual imagery created by fat, sweaty Chinks. How sad.
Flashback will be moved into Midgar, presumably.
Probably an executive marketing decision. The higher-ups would never let the developer of such a high-profile game get away with not including the most popular character.
her lips look so soft
Lads I'm thinking about playing through an FF game. The options are VII, VIII, X, and XIII. Which one should I do?
It's a pointless waste of time. There isn't a pattern to learn, you just do what the scripted VA says you're supposed to do and you win, except the fight takes four times longer. They're artificially padding the game to justify it being episodic.
Thank goodness, not enough actual orchestral music in vidya
fuck, i think I'm in love with a fictional character
VII or X.
I've only played VII and X. The gameplay is pretty different in those two but they're both fun. X is more tactical because of the strict turn order.
VII and VIII are both good, I'd go for VII more desu because I prefer the story
X is pretty bad and XIII is dogshite
>it’s apparently an adaptive soundtrack
Got any source on that? Sounds cool if true
don't like it. It's just too elaborate. Sometimes simpler is better.
I hope we do, I wanna make Zack watch from the Lifestream
>scripted
what is this meme
if you drop his health to X% it does something, how's that scrippted
its like complaining that Carry armor after losing his arms, spams laser
Its like complaining that when emerald weapon drops to X%, his orb lights turns on and uses other skills
I'm not that user, and I have no sources but I suspect something similar. The way the song sounds "wrong" is the same way old rips of Doom4 music sounded before the game's release, and that game's soundtrack is a very complex system of dynamic tracks.
It's fine and all but I'm kind of over the orchestral meme now, especially after twenty years of hearing it done. I hope there's more variation in the rest of the score.
its just an hallucination to tease the second part plot. its like in trails in the sky when you meet weissman in FC
There's a pattern to learn, taht's the robot's attacks. Then the pattern changes with a cutscene. Then the pattern changes again. It's not rocket science, and if you can't see any "pattern" of a boss fight during the 5 minute long boss fight, that's on you
Fucking retard
Hears much better.
Were living in the S age.
X or X-2
>We've now reached an era where most games are trying to copy the iMUSE system.
I don't know how I feel about that.
youtu.be
It's not just that I feel, it's that now everything has to be so overdone. So over instrumentalized and in context with player action that the s ore has no life of its own and is usually intrusive. It's like in movies or tv where the score is utilized to telegraph how the audience is meant to feel in the most laziest of manner, only worse. Hope this trend is on the decline.
It fucking took 'em long enough. Not even the Monkey Island II remake made an honest attempt at it.
I'm worried, the song already sounds overproduced. I don't want Latin chanting and other generic movie sounds added on top.
When you have such great source material, don't layer a bunch of unnecessary flourishes and you definitely don't mess with the flow of the song. Japs normally do a great job tweaking soundtracks---this reeks of Western interference again.
FUCK OFF CALIFORNIA! You can't ruin games the same way you ruined movies.
That's good shit
It didn’t really look that scripted besides those few attacks it did when it’s health dropped below certain thresholds. However I am sure they were sandbagging the fight so they could show off everyone’s moves and different battle mechanics like switching party members in case one gets grabbed.
I don't know if you realize this but they're gonna add a lot more shit to the Midgar section
Start with VII. Practically everyone else did.
X is kinda hit or miss. I feel like it has the best and worst of FF
Do not start with XIII on any basis
>add a lot more shit
>no train graveyard
Imagine believing Square-Enix's lies.
Midgar is like 5 hours in the PS1 version. This one is gonna be like 20 at minimum
>no train graveyard
dumbie
And it's all going to take place in the same areas from the first game, just bloated with voice acting and exposition to make sure no retard is left behind.
>to make sure no retard is left behind.
They didn't want you to miss out, representation is big now, after all.
fix tifa
THOSE BREATS
ARE
UNETHICAL
REDUCE THEM
(but don't consider this censorship, we are just giving a fair warning, nothing related to the twitter mob we already have on the ready)
She's not broken
No
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
All the retards whining about Tifa are great, because they mean more porn of her gets posted.
Alright lads, looks like I'm picking up VII come the Steam sale.
>Do not start with XIII on any basis
While I admit it's not the best game in the series, I'm one of the few who really enjoyed it. But yeah, I would tend to agree it's probably not the best one to start with.
Relax and take have a drink.
It's okay. I'm not sure if I like this tendency to go so orchestral on the arrangements for newer games/remakes/remasters. For example KH1/2 didn't have instanced battles and the music wasn't that orchestral, it was a nice middle ground. I guess I want more "game" in the music.
Are they gonna fuck up the boss themes?
Kanpai!
It's Square-Enix, they haven't developed a high quality product in-house since the merger. They're going to fuck up everything.
I just want Rotten Pizza faithfully recreated
Can anyone tell if this is the same bombing mission theme rendition they used in the gameplay demo/trailer. It sounds pretty identical to me but not 100% on it
youtube.com
nah
post yfw 1080p 60fps trap Cloud
>hey haven't developed a high quality product in-house since the merger.
Dragon Quest's been trucking along well

it's another "everything I don't like is the West's fault" episode...
The ethics deparment is here too?
FUCK
fuckin weaboo lmao
>didn't play TWEWY
>didn't play the FF13 sequels
>didn't play Kingdom Hearts
>they kept the weird forge hammering sound effect
Nice, all I cared about.
do we know who's composing?
>cherrypicked screenshot (probably from before they decided they """HAD""" to censor her tits)
kys
This gets my dick hard and I’m not even white
I like it. Here's hoping the Motorcycle Chase theme is good, especially since there's going to be a new motorcycle segment with Jessie.
youtu.be
This gives me hope that despite it being Midgar only and all the extra fluff that will be added, I will be able to actually enjoy 7R for what it is.
>this reeks of Western interference again.
Don't be stupid. This is just modern JRPGs. Also Metal Gear Rising did something like that and it worked out great
fucking awesome
people have been cherry picking the entire discussion
>FF13 sequels
You should shut the fuck up forever with that. Calling FF13 close to a high quality product is retarded.
I want to stuff my dick in her and call her a slut and a sow. And when she starts to get bitchy I want to slap her across her face till she cries, In a very loving way tho
My main interest in the game is the combat and just getting to see more of Midgar cause I just love the setting. If the story is still good then that's a nice bonus.
ew
this doesnt seem ethical at all
based AND pimppilled
right now the remake seems almost to good to be true so I'm still cautious
FF XV didn't come to PC for 2 years.
That should be the correct stance over the remake.
You see something you like? get excited but still don't say its the best game ever
You see something you hate? get dissapointed but still don't say its the worst game ever
People then to do the exact opposite though. It's a shame, really.
that's the only way how they learn, user
>dat cute kitty face
>He kisses and falls in love with hookers.
It's pretty good, but also a bit overdone.
It feels like a soulless cashgrab but like everything just looks so good that I can't hate it
Well desu, when I saw the SE presentation and saw the demo I almost lost my mind since I thought the game was still stucked in development hell. But I realized that we have to see more to really judge how good the game is ģonna be. Like what about the materia system? Why is it still not shown?
I suppose by that time its possible they will have another episode out. We'll have to see I suppose. Excited all the same. At least there's the FFVIII """remaster""" to look forward to in the meantime.
I agree it's very overly complicated.
>mgr did pure symphonic soundtrack with latin chants
wut
the stuff about the compilation is I'm worried about
if they fuck with the game's story too much it just won't be the same
Yea Forums trying so hard to hate a game but can't
this is beautiful
Not allowing our sexual impulses to be demonized is a good start.
Stay mad, nigger.
"Nomura: FFVII Remake's materia system is basically the same as the original's, and that since the battle system has been revamped there will be new materia to match it and some materia will disappear."
So basically, some materias that are kinda weird to implement or unnecessary (2x cut and cover, for example) are gone or reworked but also we got new materias
we already know that barret has aero, so aero materia is right on baby
Enjoy going extinct then, cracker.
Stop replying to yourself.
This game looks about as good as FF15, and anybody denying that is wearing the fanboy goggles.
Enemy skill is IN right
Imagine coming to every thread, even the few ones who actually talk about positive elements of thr remake, to force your meme shitposting.
I meant the "song adds more to it the better you do" part
In terms of what?
Tifa’s tits were the very soul of FFVII.
With them, even the music is soulless.
Kek at you trying to act smug.
Who the fuck would pay your welfare if you didn't have us?
Enjoy your mom being homeless.
Maybe your dad will help out :^)
at least they know how to do music
Dunno. For enemy skill to work, you first need manipulate materia. But how would you implement manipulate? Cloud stands still doing like a meditating stance, while you control the monster? Or maybe manipulate becomes "ally" materia or Charm materia where enemies attack their allies
And you can access their commands trough a command called manipulate in the commands menu.
That's it. Enemy skill relies entirely on how manipulate materia works. Because other than that, enemy skill is just a glorified green materia.
All of that because your peepee is butthurt about a minor change.
I don't think you need manipulate for it to work.
>b-b-but Uematsu would never make something this bland
Hasn't made good music in years
>b-b-but if the GOOCH was still with us we would get turn based RPGs
Made Last Story and CryOn way before SE even considered going ARPG for mainline FF
>b-b-b-but Kitase should direct this, Kitase is the last good director left
Hasn't been a director since 2001.
When will nostalgia retards realize that people change and the only reason you don't like their new shit anymore is that your nostalgia is blinding you while these people are now grown up, more mature and have evolved.
is there an unedited picture of this without all that garbage?
Do you even believe your own spin anymore?
Its starting to seem half-hearted.
Most of the defensive and hidden Skills in the og are obtainable via manipulate
In fact there are more enemy Skills obtainable through manipulate than Just regular battle
If you dont want defensive Skills, then you are stuck with a bunch of offensive Skills that break the game because they are always better than green materia
sauce pls
>this ost is really nice
>BUT TITS! OUTRAGE CULTURE! BE MAD WITH ME DONT ENJOY THINGS
what insufferable faggots
I don't think manipulate is necessary to get any enemy skill, pretty sure I just relied on loco weed and confuse
oh this is a good one
white wind
big guard
magic hammer
lvl 5 suicide
death force
dragon something (dont rememeber the name)
angel whisper
goblin punch
oh and i just read this
"All "Support" skills can only be learned by using Manipulation (or Confusion); two "Attack" skills can be missed permanently. "
so i gues you are right
fuck it though, its a pain in the ass to wait
manipulate its better
that's fucking good to hear
one of those replies where from me tho
Tifa is so cute. She was my waifu when I was a kid. I have’t played video games ever since, but I still like making up stories in my head about her.
