Description
My arrangement is not too far off of what this track could sound in the FFVII Remake, so it doesn't divert to much from the orginal in a sense that it also uses (synthetic) orchestral instruments. I arranged the track in Cubase Elements using free orchestral software (Sonatina Orchestra, VS Upright Piano). I think my favorite part is furing 1:25 when the main theme of FFVII plays over this certain chord progression. It's neither in the original nor in other arrangements (I think). The idea with the Main theme I have from the Final Symphony version (I believe) but the harmonies underneath it came from me and I'm just so happy about how sweet it sounds. I Liked the idea of putting different themes from the game in this track to sort of tell this certain point of the story. Thats why there is sometimes bits of Aerith's Theme in there and it should make for a depiction of the moment of those two character (Cloud and Aerith) during this certain scene where this track plays out. I took some inspiration from the Piano-Opera arrangement, cause it captured the essence of this track so good in my opnion.

You clearly took the time to get as much as you can out of those VSTs, good job on this arrangement! Love that game, too.

This is a really cool arrangement. I like the harmonic motion throughout. I also think the addition of the title theme arpeggios was really cool! I think I also heard some firework pops toward the end which was a nice touch. Keep up the good work!

Really nice arrangement - just hit the end of disk 1 on a replay of FF7, so this song was fresh in my mind, and I think you really did it justice :)

This was a fun version of the track, I enjoyed listening to it. The transition at 2:13 was a little abrupt, but otherwise good job
