Materia Music Mod v1.0
By: KoEnma

Hello and welcome!  I am here to present to you my very first mod ever, a complete overhaul and replacement of the ENTIRE FF7 soundtrack called the Materia Music Mod.  This mod aims to seamlessly replace every single music track used in the game, including the opening and ending tracks encoded into FMVs, with high quality, perfectly looped tracks taken from a diverse range of sources. The primary goal is to provide tracks that are faithful to the original soundtrack, features as many real live instruments (non midi) as possible, and uses as many tracks as possible from sources produced by Square or Nobuo Uematsu himself.  Tracks were meticulously looped, remastered for consistent volume across the board, and in some cases edited/cut/or tempo changed to fit with the original aesthetic of the tracks or loop properly. This mod also features a host of alternative tracks that can be put in at your leisure if you want a slightly different feel on certain songs. Tracks which the game does not use (comical.ogg, oa.ogg, fin.ogg) are not included and those which are encoded into the opening and ending FMVs are provided via upscaled video files using tracks from The Black Mages, Marc Papeghin and Satsuki's
HD FMV upscales.  I highly recommend pairing this mod with Satsuki's SYW mod. Lastly, a full track list and descriptive guide to alternatives is
included.

Installation Guide:
 If using vanilla Steam version:

 - BACK UP YOUR DATA FOLDER FOUND AT SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\data
 - Extract archive and copy music_ogg, movies, and lang-en folders to your SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\data folder.
 - Run the game and enjoy!

If using Satsuki's SYW Graphics Mod:

 - BACK UP YOUR DATA AND SYWV5/overid FOLDERS!!!
 - Extract archive and copy music_ogg to your SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\data folder.
 - Copy movies and lang-en to SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\SYWV5\overid folder.
 - Run the game and enjoy!

*Only the english ending videos are supported for now.

Did you search for and acquire permission to distribute all these songs? Simply attributing credit isn't enough.

I just know ReMusic and Carlucci's old music mods weren't allowed with out permission by the song's creators. Music and models always seemed to be the big no-no. Didn't the offending thing get taken out of that mod? If it still contains something it shouldn't, then fair enough. I didn't know.
