The Airbuster Theme from Final Fantasy 7 Remake is TOO POWERFUL

- Today we're listening to more Final Fantasy music. It's the Airbuster theme from the Final Fantasy 7 Remake OST. I knew the original version of this track by Nobuo Uematsu (which was previously known as Those Who Fight Further in the original Final Fantasy 7 ), but to my surprise another one of my favorite composers worked on this, Tadayoshi Makino. That is one way to make a legendary track even better.

Hey, I've done a few videos on the excellent music of FF16 recently. Have you seen them yet? -> ua-cam.com/video/AZiYXpOQL4c/v-deo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
Exelent video! Also you REALLY should review undertale yellow, its a amazing fan game and i gurentee that we would all love it!
Davi, I'd recommend taking a look at a lot of the music from the remake if you like the original's music--there's a lot of great remixes, but this theme gets redone a few times in unique ways to each boss, which is awesome
The original was always so nostalgic to listen to. This song just takes it further beyond anything ever expected and only goes up and up!
Those who rock further
@@TarundiMC
HAHAHAHA love this
The best battle theme of FFVII turned into thee most epic battle song ever composed. Sephiroth wishes his battle theme was this sick
Ahem, maybe you should take a listen to "One-Winged Angel -REBIRTH-"
The reason it's just called the Airbuster theme is because there are many versions of both battle themes in the game, arranged differently! I think you're going to love hearing all the variations
Who doesn't love Those Who Squat? I think there are even a few variations on Aerith's Theme. Like the one that plays if she has the worst dress.
Whether we like today's Square Enix or not, we cannot take away the rather fantastic quality of their music and their composers.
Thank you for your videos and your passion.
This remix deserves every bit of praise it gets 🔥
Tadayoshi Makino also rearranged the Jenova theme. Check that one out too. It's so sick!
It starts off good enough. But then we get to Phase Three and it is almost perfect.
Some other standout tracks in this game are: Hell House (HOLY SHIT absolutely phenomenal!), Infinitys End, Arbiter of Fate Rebirth, Arbiter of Fate Singularity, Whispers Theme, Avalanches Theme
Agree with that. They really hit it out of the park for me with the music. Took the old stuff and made it better. Really enjoyed JENOVA as well. The symphonic part first and then going all out. It really had me there, but playing with headphones my reaction really got to my spouse as well as she just saw the fight en the i got emotional.
@@martijnvangammeren1868 I feel you! I played FF7 Remake with a pretty massive Home Theater setup and set the music to 10, sound effects to 6 and voices to 9, just because the music is so good! Got me grinning all the time
This way I noticed that Avalanches Theme has waaaaaay too much bass haha
@@SeGin_ It indeed has some bass in it. But overall very well balanced mix. I'm quite exited about part2 and what they are going to give us there.
5:28 the drums going to halftime here made this section soo epic!
Your excited reaction is exactly the way I reacted when I first heard it. I actually paused the game in the middle of the combat just to listen and freak out about how awesome it was. Lol
Oh man, you've seriously gotta listen to "The Valkyrie" theme from this game. It's easily one of the most standout tracks from the Remake, and that's mainly because it's composed by Keiki Kobayashi instead of Nobuo, Masashi, or Mitsuto. Keiki is also well knows as the composer for the Ace Combat series, which for whoever's heard that ost will already know how amazing they are.
Out of every track in the game, it's easily my personal favourite track and I would highly recommend.
And there is that chrono trigger easter egg in that theme :D
@@mrsgamer9218 I've only played up to the jail part, which is like 4% of the game lol. I'd have no idea what part it would be.
@@LoverofTragedy i believe a part of the main theme is in it. Very easy to miss. Some random comment on youtube pointed it out and i was like dayummmm how could i miss that XD
That song is not even top 20 lmao Generic af. Makes sense because as you said, wasn't made by one of the other, far better, composers who worked on the game.
Airbuster phase 3 is some of the greatest pieces of music I’ve ever heard 12:03 along with the Valkyrie phase 2 and 3 and Crab warden phase 3.
What i loved about this vid? I dont know if you were aware, but almost thd entire vid you had a big smile on your face. You were clearly enjoying yourself. Such an amazing thing to see :) ❤
They remade the crazy motorcycle chase theme as well. Please give that one some love as well 😊
For the chanting part, whenever I hear it… I say in replacement for it, “No escape. You, can’t run!”
This vid really made me smile. Your passion shines through so well! Love your content, keep it up Davi!
Great video as always! All I can say is this track is super cool. I love Those Who Fight Further. Of all the arrangements, I like this one the most! I love how Makino-san has kept the spirit and beauty of the original one and enhanced it in his arrangement. Thanks for the video, Davi . :)
You always look like you're having the time of your life doing these videos. Your excitement and enthusiasm only makes the music better. 😁
Whenever I hear Those Who Fight Further, I have flashbacks of the battle against Godo, because the boss pretty much danced with the music.
I’m so glad this finally happened! This track is absolute fire! Tension, heroism, vocals, I love the way it keeps going and building. It has so many levels. I can see you really enjoyed this one, I hope your heart has recovered. Thanks for the nostalgia punch!
The tracks in this game is like a retelling of a story through music, much like the story of the game. It definitely brings back a lot of original things from the original game but it adds so much more!
Thank you for listening to this! This is absolutely one of my favorite tracks in the album, along with One Winged Angel and JENOVA. I had this song on loop for at least a month! Your analysis ignited my love for this track once more!
Were oh so very close to the next set of mixes from REBIRTH next month. A moment of silence for those who dont have opportunity to share the experience with us
[Cries in PC gamer]
I just saw "Davi Vasc" and "Airbuster" in my subsciptions and thought "ooohhh boy, he's going to love this!" :'D
I always like your reactions and I really love how you go into musical detail on most tracks, but seeing the joy you have listening to these rearranged Uematsu tracks like this one or the culex fight beats every musical analysis
The whole FF7R Soundtrack is a banger, but this song is easily one of the best in there. I just love how it's so close to the original in the beginning and then develops to be an epic journey through an amazing remastered fight
7:35 I think it's because by the point of FF7, Uematsu was used to using ooold old samplers with very limited disk space, so him going up in scale was to compensate for possible limitations of the PSX soundchip, while Makino has modern sampler, space and compression methods in mind so he could go with the melody. Thinking about how Uematsu had to work with extreme limitations might shed some light on his choices when composing imo
Considering other game consoles psx had a very diverse soundchip
@@thend4427 It was for sure, just limited compared to what we have these days and FF7 seemed like it had a 'lot' of sound design going on with its' OST; That and Uematsu was probably used to developing on the NES/SNES/Famicom systems for a decade beforehand so even though he had more freedom he might've initially carried over tricks due to those limitations as well
It just sorta makes sense that he would do things like keep in specific octaves for better sample quality and to save on memory and whatnot, but I'm also totally just guessing, I dunno lol
Ah yes. One of the best themes in this remake! :) Alongside with Jenova and Sephiroth themes! Thank you for this video. :)
Before Remake came out, I told friends that I was as excited for the music as the game itself. This reaction perfectly explains why that is.
Pronto, já ganhei meu dia. Tava esperando muito por esse react.
❤ thank you... really never paid that much attention to the music... until I first watched you.
I love music of all kinds. I had been drawn to obvious compositions in games that stand out ie Dragonsong, But finding you thru Dan, it’s a whole new Genre I have discovered…. And I love it. I Play ffxiv and many FF games even at 76. Been a gamer since PONG and all the retro gaming that is going on makes me feel like a retro GAMER lol. Anyway your reactions and education have opened up a whole new appreciation of Video Game Music and TY for that. I do have One question. What is the trick to a single tract used through out a game as the major in sections. It’s like I don’t even notice it. Will continue to educate myself and be much more cognizant of the music playing. ESP in Dungeons and Trials. Also will definitely continue to enjoy your appearances with Dan. And I love Tail With No End
I will never get bored of watching Davi gush over music. It's so fun to see.
Your videos are how I've been learning bits of music theory. Its great and I genuinely remember things more from these videos. I'm curious about how someone goes from very little knowledge of music theory, to being able to pick out these small details. (Of course experience plays a part, but I'm still wondering if there is a more efficient way to learn.)
I find it so interesting how they adapt Fight On for the remake. Elements of it creep into the Scorpion Sentinel fight and mix it with the Bombing Mission, Shinra theme, and Reactor theme. But despite adding bosses between the two they hold back the full theme for this fight and it goes HARD.
Nobuo Uematsu: How much do you want it to repeat?
Tadayoshi Makino: No.
This music adds so much excitement to to boss battle
This game' s soundtrack is too epic. Sometimes I just had to pause the game and listen to the music.
Listen to the Scorpion Sentinel theme, it's still the boss theme of original FF7 but arranged differently. I probably like it more than the Airbuster theme, that's so sick
Brave Exvius' Onslaught is one of the best tracks I've heard too; the emotions conveyed suit the context.
The second part of the track made me cry as I was playing that boss for the first time, which is weird considering how energetic the song is. I just felt, as I was listening to this in the background, like the promise of an expanded remake of a beloved game was truly realized.
Later we get a new arrangement of One Winged Angel that also blew me away!
This track is great and all but Davi I've been waiting for you to cover FF7 remake and THIS is the only track you do so far? There are so much more amazing tracks in this OST.
Today I just finished the DLC from remake and I was surprise to see this video after that.
That DLC has some interesting jazzy music.
"Is it repeating?" haha I always laugh at this question
This music is soooo hype!
Okay, you are a few years late to the party! When this came out, it hit me in the head. Wow, what a way to revisit and modernise a perfect classic. I wonder who played the electric guitar parts. (Tamayoshi himself?). It’s a guitarist’s wet dream to play.
The day is here!
i love how they redo themes in the remake, if you want to another take on this melody i’d recommend scorpion sentinel, it does more unique stuff than air buster but isn’t as heavy
I love the people who apreciated this kind of themes, puré art
Fala Davi, curto muito os seus vídeos e como você explica sobre composição e harmonia sobre as trilhas de jogos, seu trabalho é muito foda. Cara, já pensou em analisar as trilhas sonoras da série de jogos do Ace Combat? Elas são bem fortes e trazem uma sensação de adrenalina e graça enquanto você joga, sem falar que elas também ajudam a narrar o que está acontecendo em cada jogo, aqui algumas recomendações: Unsung War (AC5), Zero (AC0), Archange (AC7), Awakening (AC7), Liberation of Gramercia (AC6), Spiridus (ACJA), Daredevil (AC7), Fighter's Honor (AC3D), Anchorhead Raid (AC7) e Sol Squadronon (AC7)
Great update.
The reactions are on point fr, and I love the lil breakdowns
You should listen to Last Surprise from Persona 5... if you haven't heard it already. Its one of the rarer game themes that actually have lyrics.
Hi Davi! I didn't play any Final Fantasy games or listen to any track from the games. The original part is really good, the remaster one isn't my favourite, I don't know. I find the choirs weird for this song, I don't like it, and the organ was weird as well (that reminds me of the organ in the Zorah Magdalos fight theme yesterday, brief but really cool; I love the organ as a instrument, like in De Blanca Mantilla (Blasphemous 2)).
Btw, I don't know how familiar are you with Hades OST (amazing), but you must listen to In the Blood, if you haven't done it already, awesome track. I love listening to the instrumental version ingame. Seriously Davi, that track is amazing.
Nothing more, and congrats for the good news of this week Davi! Adiós!
Question would you be allowed to do videos on music you’ve worked on?
You haven't heard any on the FF7-REMAKE soundtrack yet? If you've played any of the original, it's NUTS. I don't want to blurt out my favorite tracks at the risk of spoiling some of the changes they made to the story, but it's all more or less like this: taking the themes of the original ost and experimenting with them to intensify the experience in nearly every way possible.
Hey Davi Vasc it would be awesome if you could cover some tracks from Rogue Trader. I recommend the main theme, "Semper Servientes", and "Blood of the Faithful". Regardless, people like you are awesome.
This was an incredible song, maybe I add it in my listening list. And that ending, wow.
One question: Would you listen to fire emblem music? There are a good amount of great songs, specially in the last games.
I remember playing FF7 Remake for the first time when it came out in 2020 and I was playing all day until I got to the Airbuster around 3am, then this song came on...
Blew my dick off
F to your D
Pretty sure this is 4/4 but triplets are used throughout. The main motif in the riff is 3 triplets and 1 quarter note.
FF14の曲はあなたに素晴らしい感動を与えるはずです。是非聞いてほしい。
Oh talking about ff7 now. Only a matter of time before “One Winged Angel”
JENOVA also got a similar but much different rearrangement.
I know you've done a lot of Touhou songs already, but I really think you would like Son Biten's theme: Tiny Shangri-La, from Touhou 19. It's way different from most Touhou tracks.
The nostalgia hitting lol
We've gotta get him to listen to the entire track for the freeway section at the end of the game
Davi, man i think we would be greatful to see a professional like you analyses Godfrey first elden lord's ost from elden ring
Thanks!
How to start with an epic track and keep on ramping it up for 7 minutes
You should do sister Friede Boss fight, it’s a good one
Looking forward to one winged angel!
A great music to break down is
Ark: main theme by gareth coker, the ascension soundtracks are something else
Sounds like they took this track and cranked it up to eleven!!
You should feel inadequate compared to Nobuo Uematsu. That's a good thing. Means you still recognize you have room to grow, improve, and be inspired. The moment you stop feeling inferior to new sounds and songs is the moment you stop growing. Inadequacy, when channeled properly, gives us things to strive towards. Also, if you haven't you should listen to Nobuo Uematsu's stuff from the earlier FF games, 1-6. A lot of those songs friggin' slap for being from the chiptune era. Eternal Wind is so simple but so beautiful.
Hey Davi,
Have you considered listening to any of World of Warcraft OSTs yet?
The song for Stormwind for one is excellent! you should give them a shot:)
How do i submit a song for you to hear?
You can write right here in a comment or go to Patreon
Finally! 😄😄😄
🔥
Arpeggios from hell
❤
This was the first boss fight in the original game that had this theme. I think that’s why they named this version after the boss itself. But hearing this for the first time brought me to tears man. FFVII is so nostalgic for me and this whole Remake is incredible and gets me incredibly emotional. I still can’t believe the remake is real.
Have you already heard the snes game soundtrack Super R type?
I played that game as a kid..it was fun
@@thend4427 If you went to the options menu and went to the bgm section, you could select any sound or track and rapidly tap l or r in different combinations, eventually you'll hear something, I don't know if it was intended or a bug, but it would actually start to play strange remixed versions of all the songs in the game.
It works on an emulator. It's pretty trippy, I don't know how I figured that out but I don't think i've seen it mentioned anywhere before.
Hello there. Awesome vid like always. You have to check out JENOVA theme for the FF7 remake. It's also amazing !
please listen to The World Looks Red from Ultrakill. it's super good i swear
Godfrey the First Elden Lord from Elden RIng next please🥺
This is from Smash Bros, right? So good!
They did so much for the piece in this remix. Incredibly versatile. I like hearing about all the adjustments to the original with the other composer, Tadoyashi Makino.
Original Name: Those who fight Further
for sum reason final fantasy themes remind me of pokemon sun and moon remakes
HI i have been watching your videos for a good amount of time, and i love your reactions and your predictions, can this PLEASE listen to Little Nightmares music and especially play it please, thank you and dont worry if you dont want to
Crazy how much this song made me a blubbering mess when I played the remake
You should react FF7REMAKE ost JENOVA QUICKENING, it was same composed by tadayoshi makino too , please react that ost. 🙏🏻
We gotta get you to do persona 5 music 😂
Listen to some Blue Archive OST please!
just called boss battle because it was played during every boss just about.
This is wrong. Every boss in the Remake has a different theme. A lot of them share the Fight On motif though.
hate it when people who havent played the game try to act like they know stuff about it
great um UA-cam deleted my comment that was a request game soundtrack hmm more like hidden and held for review I don't know YT doesn't like me putting comments that say words like C-H-E-C-K O-U-T for some reason and I don't know why I just don't spam it's been months now and I need to fix it but how hmmm this is not the place to think about this heres to hoping that this isn't flagged
ok so I was right about why the other was deleted but if you do see this then please go see the held for review comment I left like 10-20 minuets ago
Fave track in the game
I need to get off my ass and play the remake
