So I finally tripped over some of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake coverage. Actually looks good, but so did FF13 which I didn't care for beyond the battle system. At least with FF7 I've confidence in the story being good(unlike ff13), however I can easily see the presentation getting foobared. Either pacing, sprite charm or any number of 'moments' getting lost in translation for the remake.
What I am most interested in at this point is the music though. Am curious if its member-berries or straight up objective, but I gotta say a lot of the original tracks sound better than what I've heard from the remakes coverage I've seen. Not that they're bad by any means, just that I like the OG a bit more.
There's a lot they get right and it does seem like they're making a bunch of variations trying to 'nail it'
... yet it often feels like the energy/climax drops out just a moment too early in the remade tune, that there is too much going on audio wise when you don't want/need it, and that it doesn't hit high and/or low enough on key notes; all missing by slivers feeling like chasms. Leaving me feeling ike wife whos man gets off a bit too early bringing her close but doesn't finish the job. Like its a crime to hold a note for more than the briefest of moments suddenly.
Will be interesting to see what the eleven-teen yr olds of this generation who jump into the remake 1st then hear the OG take away from it as I am sure I've more than a few biases at play here.
