    "Cloud... I'm searching for you."
    ".....?"
    "I want to meet you."
    "But I'm right here."
    "I know, I know.... What I mean is..."
    "I want to meet..... you."

      This is the reason why I want aerith to live, she never meet Cloud after he regains his memories.

      After all their time traveling together, she still hadn't met the real Cloud. The date was their only moment really alone together since sector 5. She was probably waiting all that time to tell him. If the remake brings them together on the date again, now that she knows her fate I wonder what it will be like this time?

    Here we are, nearly 20 years later, still talking about this game, recreating the music and, in the near future, getting a full remake. A true classic in every sense of the word.

      Nicholas Still it was a legendary game, perfect in every way possible, it shaped many people and I'm of those people,, the music in ff7 was what inspired me to become a musician

      The remake soundtrack made me cry multiple times. Glad to call some of these musicians in this my friends and colleagues.

      sagacityalex I just finished it. I thought it was a total masterpiece. Don’t know if it would hit as hard if you weren’t a fan of the original, but the emotional heights it reached for those people that were fans? ...unlike anything I’ve ever seen or felt related to a video game.
      And it was just a really fun game.

    So many easter eggs. My favorite is the Highwind theme peeking through at 2:43

    • @marvinines6637
      @marvinines6637 4 роки тому +6

      it's a motif for Cloud's theme. Since this is Cloud's date. There are also Tifa and Aerith motifs hidden as well!

    1:30 you can hear the fireworks exploding quietly in the background.
    Did Jonne Valtonen orchestrate this? Maaaan what a talent!

    • @merregnonstudios
      @merregnonstudios  8 років тому +10

      +Marco Longo This is correct, Marco: Jonne Valtonen is the arranger of the Final Fantasy VII Symphony.

    Absolutely fantastic. I love this piece. It doesn't get nearly as much recognition as it deserves.

    I watched this scene yesterday for the first time and I searched for this song because it was so pretty and emotional ❤ the orchestral version really accentuates these points 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

    @whokilledzekeiddon 7 років тому +4

    This is really breathtaking. I'm a tiny bit disappointed the arrangement doesn't include the string crescendo that features in the original Interrupted by Fireworks, but it's damn close to perfection.

    @fuckamericanidiot 5 років тому +7

    Didn't do it for me. Too much meandering and too many crescendos which rendered them impotent. It was missing the best elements and sounded more like a Star Wars wedding scene than Cloud and Aeris' special moment together.

    • @Ranney165
      @Ranney165 8 місяців тому

      Being fair, this’s only a small part of the symphonic movement it’s from, taken out of its context

  • @michaelh2282
    @michaelh2282 Рік тому

    I respect the effort, but this feels overarranged and misses the intimate feel of the OG.
