Of course, one of the single most important and well-composed songs on the disc (and in Uematsu's career for that matter) is 'Aerith's Theme', a touching piano, strings, and brass movement that reminds you of someone you love.Дisc Four is the dark disc. Elemental, New Age, and sci-fi styles abound in 'Forested Temple', 'You Can Hear The Cry Of The Planet', and 'Reunion'. 'Cid's Theme' is outstandingly uplifting, and I personally use it to lift myself up out of a depressive mood. Lastly, 'Cait Sith's Theme' is worth mentioning for its jazzy, snappy beat that best conveys the cool gambling fortune-telling cat.Дisc Three also features a variety of themes and music styles - from the tribal, earthly beats of 'Cosmo Canyon' and the calming, but heart-breaking cues of 'Lifestream' and 'Great Warrior' to the hellishly dark 'Those Chosen By The Planet', which basically serves as Sephiroth's theme.

'J-E-N-O-V-A' is a sci-fi boss battle theme, and most fans of the series' music consider it one of the best. 'Rufus' Welcoming Ceremony' is good, although the sound quality should have been improved on this ceremonial march.

quite possibly the most up-beat and fun, especially if you're a fan of electronic rock. 'Electric de Chocobo' is an excellent version of the Chocobo theme. The synth version however suffices graciously. For example, the 'FFVII Main Theme' is amazingly majestic, and is a true orchestral movement that would sound great performed by a live symphony. Most of Disc One is filled with Shinra and Midgar themes, which are all featured in the Midgar portion (beginning part) of the game.Дisc Two features a grab-bag of musical style selections that are hit-and-miss.

And who could fail to mention 'Still More Fighting', a clever combination of orchestra and hard electronic rock sounds that qualifies as an excellent boss battle theme. The 'Turk's Theme' sounds like an a cappella percussion-oriented jazz that is just undeniably cool. Other Shina-related themes include the 'Makou Reactor' segment, which not only gets the feel of being inside a reactor right, but also gives you a sense of mechanical coldness that will chill the air around your speakers. The evil 'Shinra Company' theme conveys the sense of arrogance, grandness, and oppression so well you can't help but imagine a sprawling corporate empire set admidst the backdrop of global conquest. While FFVI had a much darker tone than its predecessors, FFVII's music is even darker, which fits into the nature of the game. Four discs means a lot of music - all the music from the game in fact - and it turns out that most of it is great. So basically, if the sound quality itself were equal to that of later Final Fantasy scores, this soundtrack would completely blow them out of the water. The sound quality of Final Fantasy VII's is obviously not that great, especially on some songs, but the composition of the music is so wonderful on Uematsu's part that it completely overshadows that. However, it's better overall than FFVIII's score, which I found to be pretty much boring (just like the horrible game). As stated previously, FFVI's is unquestionably one of, if not the, greatest soundtracks ever composed - so FFVII would have to be practically perfect in order to surpass it. This review's length may be a bit long, but I feel so enthusiastic about this score that I have to pour out my thoughts.ДЇirst, let me address the issue of how this soundtrack compares to the others in the series.

Not only are the themes extremely well developed and enjoyably enthralling, but the music fits the game like a glove. However, I believe it is a strong number two in the Final Fantasy music series. Reviews A strong number two in the series.Д«efore I begin, let me say this: Final Fantasy VII Original Soundtrack is in my opinion, not better than Final Fantasy VI Original Soundtrack.
