Classical Violinist Reacts to FF7 Rebirth - Music Reaction & Analysis

[@joeham6547]

Love the appreciation and analysis for Labyrinth of the Lifestream! Among my favorite tracks but I have yet to see anyone talk about, definitely the most underrated track in the whole ost for me.

[@viopatti]

This makes me so happy to hear 🥲 Though I can understand why it hasn't been talked about when EVERY SINGLE ONE of these 400 tracks is absolutely god-tier 😂

[@darkguardian50]

The Queens Blood track really reminds me of some of the violin interludes in Ne Obliviscaris songs, and I think its partly because they are trying to achieve a similar thing, a mix of beauty and dissonance. One of the things I love about Rebirth is its massive assortment of musical styles. From rap to country to metal to jazz to classical, heck there is even an opera aria in there. And yet it all seems to somehow hang together in cohesion as part of a larger musical tapestry.

This was so fun to watch!!! I’d honestly be down to listen to you listen to the entire album and break stuff down 😂 rebirths music was just SO GOOD i cannot get over it

[@viopatti]

haha maybe not the whole soundtrack but that is encouraging to hear, thank you!

[@shannon1242]

The synthetic underneath the second half of the Labrynith of the Lifestream really adds to that steampunk mech sounds like you would hear in the reactors or the clockwork themes like how Loveless hinted at.

Amazing video, please make more of these!! :D This is really interesting and it made me realize there's a lot of stuff I didn't pay attention to! Top tier soundtrack 💚

[@viopatti]

thank you!! I just filmed another one, coming soon!

[@algd26]

@@viopatti great news!!

[@purpleschala]

this was such a FUN watch Patti and such a great way to track the monumental Rebirth OST!!!!!

[@viopatti]

AHHHHHH thanks so much for all this, Ruby 😭 I'M SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE ALSO HEARD R&J OMG, and yeah I never notice electric guitar riffs first if at all (lmao), but also since I'm billing this as "Classical Violinist Reacts" I figure I have to mention all the string stuff at the very least LOL I admit too that my "drop the needle" chops are quite rusty, which is why I couldn't think of specific references on the spot, but as I was looking for them to edit in I kept thinking like "oh maybe I was thinking of THIS instead??" and Rachmaninoff triplets was one that I questioned for sure 😂 There's definitely so much overlap in all of this and I love hearing what other people hear in it too!! Also about the QB track (LOL), it plays during the final match of the cruise tournament but I guess you can just skip that?? Kinda a shame because the music is too good hahaha, but yeah I'm definitely planning a cover of it...honestly probably the most extra cinematography ever just bc the devs also went way too hard on this card game and I enjoyed it so much 🤣 I definitely recommend watching the QB cutscenes movie if you don't wanna play it though bc it is *wild* where they went with it lmao

[@party_boy69]

Really enjoyed watching this! A fun little celebration of this games amazing OST.

[@viopatti]

Thanks!! Yeah the hardest part was just limiting it to 3 tracks, I could’ve done this all day, it’s so good 🤣

[@dustinp1164]

Your video editing is out of this world. I also enjoyed your analysis and breakdowns of the soundtrack.

[@viopatti]

wow, thank you so much!

[@gbzmr]

Love seeing this type of stuff from you Patti! great video! That Queens blood track had me stop dead in my tracks the first time i was listening to it when playing the game.

[@viopatti]

Thanks!! I'm thinking about ways to do more vids like this so open to ideas of what you'd like to see! And YES omg the QB track instantly hooked me, I have to play it in-game again now that I know it a bit better

[@tabibutler4444]

I found it really interesting how much of Hitoshi Sakimoto’s work I heard in this soundtrack when I played considering he hasn’t worked on a mainline ff since 12 - I would say his and hamauzu’s styles are some of the most distinct I’ve heard.

[@shannon1242]

Yay! The Lifestream stream song in the Temple of the Ancients was my favorite song of the whole game. Especially because The Lifestream was my favorite song of the original game even if it was only in one scene at the Observatory. The haunting yet strangely hopeful melodies gave chills.

[@chinstrappengin]

Omg I can’t wait for the prodigious pedigree cover!

[@viopatti]

thanks!! it'll be a bit but I have something really big planned

[@kylejohnston1632]

Great reactions and analysis here. Love it, give me more!

[@viopatti]

Thank you! More Rebirth? Something else?? Taking all suggestions!

[@kylejohnston1632]

@viopatti Along the same vein, Final Fantasy 14 has a lot...and I mean a LOT of banger tracks that you could go through. So much content for you to be able to explore. If you decided to check it out, I would recommend listening to "Answers" from the FF14 Realm Reborn Trailer, and explore from there 😀

[@terellkid1]

I noticed Rebirth was VERY much American “Hollywood Style” and theatrical in its music, screenplay, writing etc. Maybe they got some Hollywood talent to work on this game. There’s often a lot of Disney in the music also especially in the gongaga region. It works with FF7. Hopefully they stick with it in the third game

[@SMGMissy]

I don't know why but my brain, inexperienced and uncultured as it is, sometimes interprets the strings as a choir somewhere in the background.

[@HenricGallardo]

Love this!

[@viopatti]

I’m glad you enjoyed it! I had a lot of fun making it :D

[@anthonysantos9325]

I hope you play a version of the Cosmo Canyon World theme and go ham on the violin part!

[@viopatti]

oh man I have thought about it LOL but tbh the fiddle improv style is probably not something I can pull off as well, especially considering how good the original is!!

[@MikeJones__Who]

You should review the three SOLIDERS theme. Probably my personal favorite out of the entire OST.

[@viopatti]

I stayed away from the more spoilery end tracks for the time being but there are some good ones there for sure!

[@bertcano]

@15:30 lmfao

[@mg42mg42]

Hello. I highly recommend Borderlands 2 music for you. As a musician, I'm sure you'll like it...
