In any form of media, sound is not only an integral piece of foundation for your body of work, it has the power to evoke hitherto unknown emotions and sensations within. I know that sounded like the beginning of a media students' essay but I don't care. I am, of course, not talking about the sound of an enemy soldier's brains being casually splattered over the wall behind him, nor the sound of twisting metal as you crash feet-first into an innocent bollard, I'm talking about videogame scores.
The tiny green slasher villain returns in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and is as frightening as ever.
The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.
Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...
... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.
Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣
Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.
Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.
I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.
Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.
Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Chrono Cross - Scars of Time

FF8 - The Loser

Foklore - To The Unknown World

Castlevania SotN - Dracula's Castle

Actually anything from Symphony of the Night. Anyone care to share their top soundtracks.
Why is it FF7 gets praised for EVERYTHING when other FF games do most things better then that game
In my opinion and judging from most of the commons on forums FF8 soundtrack was outstanding. Something which really set it apart from other FF games at the time it came out.
Liberi Fatali, The Landing, Force Your Way, Never Look Back, Waltz for the Moon, The Man with the Machine Gun, Only a Plank Between One and Perdition, Succession of Witches, The Stage is Set, Premonition, Eyes On Me....and their just from the top of my head.
So many games have ourstanding music. My favourites are:
MGS 1
FF6 to FF10 (Nobuo Uematsu is the greatest game composer of all time)
Okami
Silent Hill 1
Assassins Creed 2 to Revelations (Jesper Kyd is fantastic)
Bioshock
Chrono Cross
Zelda Twilight Princess
Halo series
Super Mario Galaxy has an amazing soundtrack
Demon's Souls had a brilliant soundtrack(Dark Souls' was okay, but not amazing).
Everything Jeremy Soule has worked on including the Guild Wars and The Elder Scrolls games is also fantastic.
Music is also just such a huge part of the nostalgia factor in a lot of the games we grew up with.
Norihiko Hibino, Kenji Ito, Ippo Yamada, Yukihiro Jindo/Falcom and Yuzo Koshiro are my favorites that I can name off the bat.
