    Orchestral arrangement of "Judgement Day" from Final Fantasy VII. From my album "Sending a Dream into the Universe". One of my absolute favorite songs from the OST.

    i swear, this has to be the most underrated song in the series. It brings to mind such an overwhelming sense of finality whilst maintaining such a strong sense of theme to the game. As I descended that crater, I was reflecting everything I endured to get to this point. that's power right there.

      YES! Your comment hit it right on the head!

      Axeman Cartoons Maybe is because, were too much hype with themes as one winged angel, ultimate jenova ....etc. Forgetting this masterpiece completely

      not willing to rule it out.

      Axeman Cartoons I totally agree with you, this song marked my memories, as the final resolute step for cloud's team in the dephts of the planet towards the core of their quest.

    The name of the song already brings a tragic and epic feel, a fight for the existence of life itself. The final day, the final hour, the final minute. Everything we know depends on the result of this act, it's all or nothing. We. Must. Win!

    Beautiful track! The addition of the choir is a fantastic touch. I'd like to think that it's Aerith's voice singing out to Cloud and the rest of her friends as they descend down into the Northern Crater to face Sephiroth.

    damn, best version i have ever heard of this theme, the woman on the background is a very nice touch!

  • @whokilledzekeiddon

    Amazing remake. I think this is one of the most underrated and overlooked songs in the OST; it really sums up that feeling of "and so it all comes down to this."

  • @adammclaughlin845
    @adammclaughlin845 8 років тому +32

    They should use this in the remake. This is one of my all time favourite FF tracks, easily the best final dungeon theme, and this may be the only alternate take which still captures the epic, magnificent, thrilling feel of the original.

  • @Duhemsounds
    @Duhemsounds 7 років тому +7

    The voice adds beauty and epicness, I love this track, this is probably the best final dungeon theme from FF series

  • @adambarreiro

    I've heard almost every remake/mix of this song and man, this is the best without any doubt.
    Amazing work!

    Hi Pontus! I just purchased your full album after having fallen completely in love with every piece I've listened to so far (I haven't finished yet!). I saw your Patreon page and see what you are going for and I wanted to say something about your work.
    First, as a deeply devoted fan to FF7, it's story, characters, music, and themes of life and forgiveness, I am very peculiar in my tastes when someone arranges/orchestrates the music. I am always searching for a specific quality to an orchestration of these songs. First, the original mood and intent must be retained while depth, fullness, and the character of the piece is honed and refined. Second, it cannot be over-dramatic to the point where it tries to be bigger than it is supposed to be (Example: over-punctuation like live symphony orchestras like to do in a concert setting). Third, it must retain the qualities that allow it to be used in the game itself without being distracting or jarring that takes you out of the moment. In short, it must build upon the epicness of the original without distracting from its original atmosphere and emotional intent.
    I've listened to Final Symphony, Distant Worlds, Voices of the Lifestream, Video Games Live, BitSymphony and more. I've love them all for different reasons and listen to them all both live in concert and in MP3, but they didn't have "The One" I was looking for.
    You nailed it. You fucking nailed it to the wall and dropped the microphone. You nailed it with Judgement Day, Cid's Theme, Those Who Fight, JENOVA, and Flowers Blooming in the Church. It makes my hair stand up and my eyes wet. All I have to say is: Thank you and I anxiously await the next volume!

    As this played through my head, all I kept thinking to myself was "This is for Nibelheim, this is for Zack. This. Is. For AERITH!"........ Yeah, I was out for Sephiroths blood that day.

  • @bastienmillecam3183
    @bastienmillecam3183 7 років тому +1

    I hope the songs in the remake will be texture differently. The a sweet in this theme would work so well if it was mostly played with a single instrument only to go crescendo and finish on a gigantic choir harmony at the end. The single instrument would be symbolic of the struggle against gigantic odds, and the crescendo just makes sense to escalate the tension and epicness before the final showdown.
    Either way, enough rambling, great work mate
