It's looser, but I would definitely argue that either the JENOVA theme alludes to the opening/Lifestream motif or the other way around. JENOVA's main melody follows the general shape and extends the ascending motion of the Lifestream motif, and has the same descending triplet at the end.

This is a great video, I’ve always loved ff7 score and its use of leit motif, but this video has made me notice examples that I didn’t even know were there after all these years, like how did I even miss the Shinra theme hiding in the main battle music I must have heard both thousands of times, Aeriths theme in the northern crater music is a good find too. all so obvious now it’s been pointed out. this is why I love Nobuo Uematsu

This is amazing! There're too few views for such great music :(

what a neat little cover of this song this is!

one of my favorites songs and this is a really good version of it!

this is still so amazing!

I'd add a reeeeally long arrow from Those Chosen by the Planet to Sealed Book from Final Fantasy V because they sound the exact same 😂😂

For whatever reason, this immediately made me think of Suikoden! Love it! Now if they'd only hurry up with those remasters! Maybe a Xenogears remake/remaster could happen sometime??? 🤔 😅😅

I love how even in the comments, people are discovering more and more. This soundtrack has always been one of my favorites, and this video highlights exactly why it is. I hope in the future, you dive into Remake/Rebirth's soundtrack, because I feel like in Rebirth especially, there's a lot of additional motifs/flare to some songs. Great video!!! The oppressed section is really interesting. It's such a unique group of songs with different feelings. Never thought If You Open Your Heart and It's Hard to Stand on Two Feet, Isn't it? would be so similar.

Beautiful arrangement! That "A" on the melody with the F major chord becoming minor is so beautifully sad. Doc, have I mentioned you are the best?

Yasssss, awesome! Welcome back =)

You can't forget that 3 tracks come from past Final Fantasy games! "Prelude" is the title screen track from all the previous games, "A Great Success" uses the victory theme from the previous games, and "Staff Roll" includes the Main Theme of Final Fantasy, which was in every game before except 2.

Still one of my favorite renditions of this. Thanks!

That it took 5 years for this to find my mind is a bad indictment of the algorithm. This is great work, my friend.

so wonderful

Beautiful

Waiting for the remake/rebirth analysis - that'd be a challenge!

This is fantastic. This game is definitely due a replay some day.

I absolutely love these kind of graphs and analysis! I realized recently that in Mako reactor, the synth at the beginning takes the motif of the main theme in Locrian (or starts on the 5th of Phrygian bc of the pedal tone, but I hear it as Locrian because of where it starts and the minor with flat2 and flat5 combo). What do you think?

Brother, instant like and subscribe. I woke up this morning thinking “I want to watch a video ABOUT the music of ff7”. I typed in “final fantasy 7 music”, saw only videos of different tracks, added the word analysis to the end, and boom, you made literally that exact video, which my now be my favorite ff7 video of all time. Thank you so much for doing this kind of work. Additionally, I’d like to add something about J-E-N-O-V-A; you have it listed in orphan tracks, but I think in the middle of the song there’s a callback to Sephiroth’s motif (did I say that right? Not as read up on music theory as I’d like to be); not a nitpick, just an observation, albeit a selfish one based on me just wanting to hear some of that goat of a track in this video as well. All in all, I know I’m 4 years late on this comment, but bravo, 11/10.

So beautiful, I'm new to this game and am so in love with it and the music themes. Currently playing BoF I on the snes emulator on the Nintendo switch.

This should have millions of views.

I'm placing that beauty on the "trans awakening" playlist.

this is incredible, i was wondering if you plan on transcribing this? or if there is music sheet already available, cheers!

Hinestly, Sheik's theme is one of if not the most underrated piece of Zelda music out there. I'm so happy to hear such a GORGEOUS rendition of it. Nice work, friend!

I don't know what you guys think, but, if there is one Breath of Fire game that needs to have a remake is this one. The one that started everything.

Wow, this video blew my mind! FF7 is my favourite game of all time so this was really interesting, especially since the music in the game is one of my favourite things about it. Specifically, concerning the main theme, I was always a bit bummed out that in disc 3 you don’t hear it in the over world. But you technically do then when riding the Highwind. Amazing video :)

Super curious what you think of ff 16s soundtrack after watching this.

Damn this game is so good. This is a really interesting explanation of how things are tied together and as someone who knows nothing about music... This was wonderful! Now do ffviii 👀💪🏼

It's wild that tifa's theme doesn't tie in with the soundtrack further. I could've sworn that it shared some motifs with Anxious Heart but I'm not finding anything solid there. But even On This Day Five Years Ago, On The Other Side Of The Mountain, and On The Edge Of Despair -- which are all used in dramatic moments involving Tifa -- don't seem to share any melody with her theme at all (or with each other)

Awesome job! Thanks for sharing You rock!

I should've assumed there'd be game spoilers in a music analysis video but I didn't expect it to be on an innocuous chart at 2:00 into the video, about a side character for whom I never would've guessed would have such a twist (Barrett).

3:16 this cover is so good it makes the still image of the temple seem like it’s got movement

best temple of time piano cover on earth, prove me wrong

This is one of the most beautiful renditions of this song I'm so glad I found again I never thought I could hear such beauty from the violin as it was never my favorite instrument

7 years later and still a masterpiece in my recommended 🫶🏻

I found it! I remember listening to this over 5 years ago and it stuck with me. Sheik and Zelda's theme combined. Thank you for making this beautiful arrangement.

perfect

Time passes, people move. Like a river's flow, it never ends. A childish mind will turn to noble ambition. Young love will become deep affection. The clear water's surface reflects growth...

This is unbelievably good. Your arrangements just seem so faithful to the impressionistic style. I've been hoping to find arrangements of Zelda music in classical styles for ages. Thank you.

I keep listened to 0:57! I wish this were longer!

This is a beautiful piece!

Amazing piece! Is the notesheet available anywhere?

Sounds amazing! Thanks for making this! :D

Please do an impressionism version of fairy fountain.

Damn, there doesn't happen to exist a sheet for this?

Hi Doc Nano! We love this arrangement, and were wondering if we could use this in a video we are making for the 30th anniversary of the Breath of Fire series. Please let us know if you have any concerns.
