Author Topic: Final Fantasy 7 OST HQ Project (Read 17728 times)

This is designed to be a fun little side project. Basically the idea is to get the absolute best possible quality tracks of each song from the FF7 OST. Whether or not it's by an orchestra or by some random guy, this project is just ment to list each song from the OST with a link of the best remix/cover of that song from anywhere on the internet.

This isn't a downloadable thing (although some sites may allow this, Newgrounds for example) and I don't plan for it to be. This is basically just the "all stars" of each song on the OST.

I will gladly take suggestions and there can be debate of which song should take the spot. I will have a changelog at the bottom for when a new song hits or whatever. This is a running list so whatever is empty, feel free to suggest for.

I highly recommend Youtube and Newgrounds Audio Portal for finding these remixes/covers. Basically the idea is to get the best quality track that keeps as true to the original as possible.

Orchestra would be preferable, but if the song calls for something techno or whatever, feel free to suggest.

I think this thread already covers what you are trying to do but not as organised or listed:
http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=12787.0
also this also is kinda trying to keep the music as original as possible

DLPB_ · « **Reply #2 on:** 2012-05-11 17:00:13 »

No mine is mainly the OST in looping ogg and what I consider to be the best remixes and so forth placed in the installer as options. I am not making the installer have an alternative to every tune... nowhere near, because from my pov, 95% of the remixes out there are shockingly bad.

Travis · « **Reply #3 on:** 2012-05-11 17:04:31 »

Oh, I'm not trying to infringe on DLPB's.

I just thought it could be a community fun thing. i never intended on making this an actual mod either.

DLPB_ · « **Reply #5 on:** 2012-05-11 17:16:37 »

Well there can't be an infringement really.. I don't own the OST or remixes

If you used my looping ogg all I would want is a credit, but clearly you have your own mod here to place your fave remixes to every tune.

Was hoping someone would make a thread like this particular one. Thanks!
For "Highwind Takes To The Skies" i feel no other is better than this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9vA_KLN1lE

The user has made his own comments. But i feel it is so much more than just getting the real feeling of flying through the air. Just my opinion, but i fell this is perfect as an epic ending song where the Hero and his girl are in their stereotypical romantic moments as the gigantic airship/or spaceship(in my mind) takes journey across the stars.....please do list this one.

Give that one a chance. If you cut out the intro piece, it's awesome.

Admittedly it is awesome.....But somehow i don get the "flying feel"......if i were to tell which is better without considering the Highwind itself, i'd say they're both equal. Ironically, the intro is my favorite part of the song you gave the link to. But that is more suitable as a sort of ending theme or tender moment..... For the game itself i like the link i gave, does not differ much from the original yet gives a truly remastered effect.............

You're gonna laugh when you hear what music i used in ficedula's music patch...some of them i mean.But not these: Boss Battle music i used the mp3 of Those Who Fight Further from the ACC soudtrack. The motorcycle minigame/escape from shinra uses The Chase on the Highway also from ACC. One-winged angel in ficedula's pack i replaced with One-Winged Angel of ACC soundtrack. THAT is definitely better than the game's one-winged angel and it's remastered one. And of course that orchestral Highwind Theme for Highwind takes to the skies(the one i posted here).....

Now for the eyebrow raisers:
-For the regular battle music i used "Dante's Office 7 Hells Battle from DMC3!
-For Hurry Faster i used Combat Theme 4 from Heroes of Might and Magic 3![Figured it sounded better in the battle square and made diamond weapons appearance at midgar more epic.
-For J-E-N-O-V-A....you'll never guess! I used Ultra Violet- Nelo Angelo's theme from DMC! lol
-For Jenova Absolute.....i used Vergil Battle 1 Theme from DMC3!......

Well, I want to keep this soundtrack to covers of the originals. I find OWA and JENOVA themes from ACC to be the only ones that are worthy to replace the originals.

I've heard that one before. I am going to think it over. It may indeed fit the game better.

Its one of the many reasons I hate OCRemix. I feel like they butcher the original songs in their remixes. While that isn't the case, it doesn't have the feel that the AC has and it feels far from the original.

I usually like OCRemix stuff, but I don't very much care for that Jenova one. I prefer this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMmwPJ0qDyg More true to the original and pretty rockin too!

Nope. That's a mashup with a xenogears song as well. Not near the original.
