Got some smaller (but still kinda interesting) news on the progress of the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy: https://www.gamesradar.com/games/final-fantasy/final-fantasy-7-remake-part-3-director-says-the-jrpg-sequel-will-be-one-of-the-most-loved-most-popular-games-in-the-whole-history-of-video-games/ As I had already suspected, the developers want to create a real milestone in the RPG sector or one of the best RPGs of all time with the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy, especially with the 3rd and final part, in a similar way to what they already did with the original Final Fantasy 7. ... But since we are a video game remix community, I wanted to talk about a few soundtracks for the current 2nd remake part Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which has some very interesting new musical compositions and remixes to offer. Here's a small selection: 1) Jungles of Gongaga ----------------------------- This soundtrack has some really exotic flair with some kind of an indigenous children's choir. It somehow fits in with Zack Fair's laid-back mentality by representing his home region. 2) Battle on the Big Bridge - Rebirth --------------------------------------------- No joke - apparently this really is an official remix version of the corresponding soundtrack from Final Fantasy 5 for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. That's a really interesting feature as a connecting element in the big Final Fantasy universe. 3) Midgarsormr ------------------- This is a fairly long, versatile and continuously building remix version of the Final Fantasy 7 battle theme Those Who Fight, in a not entirely dissimilar vein to what I once had in mind with my own remix version of the battle theme. I haven't worked on it for many years now - but I would have a few ideas to give this long track a proper makeover in terms of composition and mixing if I could find the time. And I was really blown away when I heard a similar melody in this Rebirth remix (from minute 3:26 - the powerful brass instrument) as in my remix Fighting Fantasies (from minute 7:58 - the lead with the electric guitar): ... But then I realized that a similar line has already been in the original battle theme Those Who Fight (from minute 0:55 - the brass): ... Beyond that, however, I'm totally hyped about a completely different thing. My first electric guitar (Ibanez GRG 140) finally arrived at my home around two weeks ago. But I'll talk about this in a much more fitting thread as soon as I find the time. ))
