My first impressions was exactly this. I thought the song was odd when I first heard it for the trailer. But man, this song hit hard for the ending though and is now one of my favorite songs from the game.
I think the song hits the hardest when you consider the context it's in; Cloud singing to Aerith. The lyrics revolve around him being an outcast all his life and Aerith played a large part in opening him up and healing him. The lines "This time I will never let you go" are so impactful. Is she gonna live in part 2? Whether she does or she doesn't, at least we know Cloud is gonna try his hardest this time to save her.
Got this song on repeat. They should all be proud. It fits the ending perfectly. The instrumental version plays throughout the slums I've noticed. Though I did miss Anxious Heart it does play briefly in Sector 5.
@@Lelucky77 was about to say the same thing. She was actually born in New York so she's an American Citizen as well. Judging by her response on the presidential election id also assume she still lives in the US.
Sorry, but Tetsuya Nomura as a terrible game director. FF7Remake was a perfect one-shot, never to happen again. And true to form, he completely botched Rebirth - particularly the part you just can't fail, Aerith's death. The part that was a milestone in gaming history. I found it ironic AF that a game with characters that consist of 40-some polygons and a MIDI track can make people cry while Rebirth, literally with hundreds of thousands of polys on screen and an arranged score, fails - and that hack says that it was intentionally done that way. (!!!) F:ing ban him from even touching a game project again! And don't get me started on the constant mini-games everywhere, all the time, cluttering up the story. Tetsuya should only be allowed to design monsters, like he did way back when.
Loved this band and I forgot then did the main theme for this game so after completing ff7R and hearing this kick in it gave me goosebumps. Incredible game finished off with an incredible song
I was waiting Soo long to see the person behind of this incredible voice and he did a master piece 😭😭😭😭 without doubt they select the perfect person and the perfect voice for this amazing game!!
It's funny how much this song gets to me. At first I thought "huh, okay interesting choice..." surprised that they'd have vocals that weren't strict to the score, but after I finished the game (and cried for the 30th time from nostalgia) I can't imagine a more fitting song to represent Cloud's feelings. Seeing this behind the scenes makes me appreciate the hard work and vision that went in to every aspect of the remake. It's beautifully done and I can't wait for part 2!
I admire Uematsu, he has a clear vision of what each and every song he compose should be, and the emotions they need to evoke, and SOMEHOW he manages to translate that train of thought so well. You can clearly see how much respect he has earned, and he damn well deserves it, no matter what happens he has contributed so much to the gaming industry, he’s like the John Williams of VIDEOGAMES, his legacy must be continued, he left so many pieces of art, thank you so much Uematsu!!! You are the king!
I was yet another one of those that didn't like the song all that much at first, But it quickly became one of my favorites, now I'm thankful to be able to hear it.
Thank you, Nobuo Uematsu. Thank you, Yosh Morita. Thank you, Kazushige Nojima. You made an incredible, heart-touching song that will stick with me forever. I am so grateful 💚
More people need to see this... the view count is too low. I have so much respect for Nobuo Uematsu. Seeing the behind the scenes amazed me a lot. I didn't know who Yosh and Survive Said the Prophet was. I didn't like this song so much when I first heard it but it grew on me in a meaningful way. I thought about Zack a lot. Also, if I'm right, this is the first time to hear a male singer in a Final Fantasy? Its different in a good way.
moved away from console to pc a little over a year ago, just finished this game a few days ago. this song with the photos hit me so hard, ff7 was a big part of my childhood, the remake was so well done so far. looking forward to what is next.
I am glad I saw this after playing, so much hard-working behind the scenes!! Happy to be able to play Final Fantasy saga, the adventure has been amazing.
I’m trying to learn how to play the harmonica section of the song on a 10 hole harmonica in the key of G. Just for bragging rights. And I’m making my girlfriend play through the game, so I can surprise her with this song once she’s finished with it. It’s one of those songs that once you’ve heard it, you have to recognize. Already iconic in my opinion. Glad to see the singer was so psyched up when the director liked it and to be a part of the project.
The music in this game is incredible Story: 8.5 Gameplay:8.5 Graphic: 8.3 ( some texture... i know but the graphic still good at all) Music:9 Character:9 Overall score : 9/10 with me My GOTY 2020 so far
I mean I dont know about love Cloud had a crush on her for sure. Aerith still couldnt get past Zack. In my opinion Cloud and tifa fare a lot better because of the promise they had and the whole childhood friend thing
@@DasMetu96 'Gotta look forward, not back' Aerith's words remember? And yeah, a cute promise between Tifa and him: 'please save me please save me please save me pleas-' 'Alright shut the hell up' besides Cloud and Aerith have something similar, he is Aerith's bodyguard in exchange for a date.
fristly i heard that ost while finding the hollow skies ost(sector 5 theme) and thought it was boring and piano versions sounds a head better, but after that cinematic w zack and clound.. wow, it feels like false nostalgia, so deep and sad
I like the score versionof "Hollow" better than the version with vocals. It was so weird hearing it as I run around the slums of Midgar, because it felt like I had heard it a 100 times before. Like, "was this in the original...? ...yeah it was... no wait... no it wasn't...why does it sound so familiar!?!" And that's what personified FF7 REmake for me. It was perfect. It didn't replace the original, it expanded on it, and the new music was a 100% success in that it felt like it belonged, and that it had always been there. That's quite an accomplishment.
Came here coz I just finished the game. No crying this time for me, like in Crisis Core, it’s still a hard hit 👏 But I was so emotional every moment. From the nostalgic intro to the surprising ending. Chills, tears, okey I cried.
I love this song. With this song now we know, how Cloud feel for losing Aerith. He, have a second change to save her. So, This time for sure, I will never let you go. Team Clerith 🌸🎀☁️🗡
Huh? It's about Cloud's state of mind after he reaches Midgar. Where did Aerith die in the rain and the wasteland? Haven't you played Crisis Core? I don't understand you shippers. Blind and deaf to facts. 🤭
I dont like the song at first (trailer), until i finished this game. This song is perfect match with the ending scene. 10/10

Couldn’t agree more.
I beat the s&!+ out of this game and I want MORE!
I liked the song from the beginning. Its melody was very catchy.
@@waryemezez3369 definitely had my attention from the beginning i heard this song
This song hits very hard at the end of the game. The unknown journey continues...
I’m very in love this song after i finished this game.
I first heard the song on UA-cam then when I heard the song after completing the game, it felt SO good
One of the Pillars of FF7: Nobuo Uematsu
One of the Pillars of Square, Squaresoft and now SquareEnix.
One of the pillars of gaming in general: Nobuo Uematsu
One of the pillars of growing up
what a time to be alive.
We don’t deserve FF7 Remake. It was too good.
That whole project seems incredibly wholesome and you can literally feel how everyone is giving their very best to do FF7‘s legacy justice
“Almost there, Cloud. We’re almost there”
This score is perfect and I can't imagine another singer doing it better. The credits gave me goosebumps this song really hit me in the feels.
Little v milles made a great cover of it
Got this song on repeat. They should all be proud. It fits the ending perfectly. The instrumental version plays throughout the slums I've noticed. Though I did miss Anxious Heart it does play briefly in Sector 5.
He's english is really impressive for a japanese person probably the best english i heard from a japanese.
I read he's bilingual, so that's probably why
there's many bilingual now in Japanese music industry
It’s been like this wtf
Utada Hikaru's English is also very good.
@@Lelucky77 was about to say the same thing. She was actually born in New York so she's an American Citizen as well. Judging by her response on the presidential election id also assume she still lives in the US.
this game has perfect music arrangement. This master knows when and how to put music according to the environment and situation. A truly genius.
people like Uematsu and Nomura and true legends ...and what they have achieved are masterpieces which will stay forever in time. Breathtaking.

Loved this band and I forgot then did the main theme for this game so after completing ff7R and hearing this kick in it gave me goosebumps. Incredible game finished off with an incredible song
It fitted just perfect to the game's end.
Zack: ¨Almost there, Cloud. We're almost there"
Aerith: "I miss it. The steel sky"
Ronald: 'I miss it.The apple pie.'
Omg ahhaha
Zack fanboys are cringe
@@vincentvalentine8793 the whole ffvii fandom is cringe then
@@vincentvalentine8793 You know what is cringe? Being a fanboy of a character and reflecting that in their profile picture as well as the name.
I was waiting Soo long to see the person behind of this incredible voice and he did a master piece 😭😭😭😭 without doubt they select the perfect person and the perfect voice for this amazing game!!
when you get the combination just right and 2 great talents and all the staff involved make a sensational track
Yosh is such a good singer! survive said the prophet is awesome!

best vg song of 2020 you can't change my mind
EPIC Collab. Uematsu and Yosh are a dream team out of left field. So happy to see and hear this!
Nobuo Uematsu is too great for this world

My favorite song in the entire game... Just stood out to me...at the end. And while playing in were aerith lives
I was yet another one of those that didn't like the song all that much at first,
But it quickly became one of my favorites, now I'm thankful to be able to hear it.
Nobuo Uematsu, truly a master!
Inspiration:
Uematsu Nobuo: "There's rain pouring over a barren, empty plain...and Cloud is standing there"
And they did it!
Thank you, Nobuo Uematsu. Thank you, Yosh Morita. Thank you, Kazushige Nojima. You made an incredible, heart-touching song that will stick with me forever. I am so grateful 💚
This is an instant classic. Really felt it after Aerith "Missed the Steel Sky"

Beautiful song for a beautiful game
The harmonica... dude, such an awesome idea to encapsulate everything they talked about in the video AND Cloud
This song is SO GOOD. I love how they took an existing song. It makes it nostalgic and it hits harder.
Amazing. Yosh u are amazing and you nailed it with this performance. Nobuo Uematsu is a legend.
Yosh is such an awesome and talented musician!
So good voice.. After end... Love so much this song!
Thank you for another legendary piece Uematsu-san
its so awesome to have Mr Nobuo Uematsu back to do a song for FFVII Remake. Its something special when he comes back to do Final Fantasy games.
There is no better way to describe Cloud's feelings and mindset than this song.
Gorgeous composition. Hits even harder now after rebirth
This video deserves more love :C
everytime i listened to this song it always remind me of that final scene. So sentimental. 😭😍
I feel like this doesnt get thrown around enough, but this is the first time we get a song sung by a guy in the entire franchise. Its quite historic!
And yet another masterpiece was made❤
I finished that game in classic and normal mode, the instrumental and with lyrics version is sooo damn awesome. Congratulations 😀
It would be so cool to have a full studio version of yosh singing this song !

You're doing the Lord's work - keep it up 👍
I got goosebumps when i hear this song at the ending clip with zack carry cloud.😢
さすがです！すてきうたです。
legit a classic
It all makes sense at the end. What a thrilling masterpiece.
I like this song. I listen it everynight😍😍😍
The best game music of the year is here😃😃😃

SUBLIME!!!! Está canción, al igual que el juego, es increíble. Representa muy bien todo. Es algo sensacional. Como si un nuevo camino nos esperara....
クラウドのエアリスへの気持ちがめちゃくちゃ出ている名曲…。
Cloud feeling towards Aerith is amazing. This time He will never let Aerith go again 😁 Cloud and Aerith is a really symbol of timeless love.
A million times agree 👍👍❤😭
I mean I dont know about love Cloud had a crush on her for sure. Aerith still couldnt get past Zack. In my opinion Cloud and tifa fare a lot better because of the promise they had and the whole childhood friend thing

@@DasMetu96 I guess you haven't played the OG if you're using the 'childhood friend' thing as an argument...
@@LuisSR01 Nah multiple times actually. I am just a huge Zack and Aerith stan.
this hits me hard at the Ending credit scene
This is amazing
I never thought the harmonica was a beautiful instrument until this song
Truly amazing :)
The perfect ending song for this game.
I felt this ending
Did Yosh spend time overseas growing up? His english is really impressive.
20/10, 10 for Nobuo-sama and 10 Yosh-san 👌
thanks....amazing song....👍👍👍
I miss it... the steel sky...
I would be lost....
Survive said the prophet is a good band
Of course
Same singer for Vinland Saga intro
ファイナルファンタジーとても面白かったでしたファイナルファンタジー作った方々エンディングとても感動しましたホントにありがとうございました。・゜゜(ノД`)
the song make me cry in the ed game :((
i miss it. the steel sky.
"I miss it. The steel sky."

Never played ff7 but this song is fire
What a song
Everytime i hearing this Song i must thinking at the music theme at the Hammerhead Gas Station in Final Fantasy 15
Rather appropriate for a song about prophetic survival being sung by Survive Says The Prophet.
Greetings From Poland :)
Hopefully Yosh will be involved in Part 2
AMAZING SONG AMAZING GAME
When is this going to be available for Spotify?
It is just not globaly
goat uematsu
Came here coz I just finished the game. No crying this time for me, like in Crisis Core, it’s still a hard hit 👏 But I was so emotional every moment. From the nostalgic intro to the surprising ending. Chills, tears, okey I cried.

EPIC!
Reminds me of Sealed with a kiss.
Im glad Uematsu is back for FF7R but sadly this could be his last song for Final Fantasy
