FFVII Remake OST: Aerith's Theme Orchestra Version

Aerith’s Theme Orchestral Version from the FFVII Remake (Final Fantasy 7 Remake) OST by Garrison Shea (originally by Nobuo Uematsu)
I remember listening to the FFVII OST a long time ago and the Aerith Theme came on and wondering what the hype was - in my mind, Tifa’s theme was better. But as I played the FF7 remake, I realized how much I actually did enjoy her more intimate, soft theme. But since I couldn’t resist, I snuck in a bit of Tifa’s Theme and the Main Theme (from Sector 7).
I really enjoyed making this, and have an upload for this weekend I’m also working on, so stay tuned for that one.

[@Executive14]

Its crazy how i come to this video and i see that the top comment is that they got married to this song, and then i go the advent children version of the theme and the top comment is that that was the song that played at their loved one's funeral. That just shows how context can really change a song

[@celes42017]

Aerith’s character and presence spans among life and death. Her character resembles the process of life, love and death.

[@NickStedmon]

We all bring our own sense of meaning into music and what it evokes in us. And not all songs at funerals are necessarily sad, sometimes just ones that evoke an emotion or sound beautiful.

[@ApexTitanKong]

One of the greatest renditions I have ever heard. An absolute achievement in every note made. Forging a tapestry of Sorrow, Hope, the pain of loss, and the belief you can overcome any trial life throws at you.

[@johntracy72]

Enrico Deiana has a very beautiful version of this song as well.

[@noobdude5933]

@@johntucci1907 Why not, it's normal.

[@celes42017]

This, to me, is the best piece Nobuo Uematsu has ever created. The emotion this piece evoked from me so many years ago was powerful. I felt life, love and loss all in one moment. You had this character who spoke about the future more than any other character, loved pretty much everyone despite their faults, and embraced what the world was about for its value of beauty and life… Then it was all ripped away in a matter of seconds. She knew her destiny, but still chose to pretend that she would go on living. And then she reappears at the end, just to prove that life will always endure so long as we maintain hope. ❤️ This is why she’s become tied in second with Cloud for my favorite FF characters.

[@ghostghost514]

I bought FF7 remake PS5 and I don't have ps5 yet Just for Aerith (best girl in the game).

[@user-yi1fq7il4k]

This song imprinted itself in my mind for the last 27 years. Breath-taking... This game shaped my adolescence. While other girls my age were losing their virginity, I was staying-up late trying to figure out how to save Aerith. I spent months replaying the game a second time to see if I could save her from Sephiroth's strike. The cut-scene never changed. In this way, it was like watching a Studio Gibli movie(like "Boy and the Heron")... Perhaps more so if they combined the games aesthetics with FF9 (another one of my favorite Final Fantasies). In 7...I leveled-up all my characters to 9999, got both ultimate weapons with the black chocobos. This game taught me the idea of certain things being written into the tapestry of our lives that are destined to happen. Kind of like the mother in "Boy and his Heron", near the end of the movie the mother revealed to her son that she knew she was going to be born and give birth to him, only to die in a fire during his youth. I was pretty traumatized by not having the ability, no matter how strong I got, to save Aerith. I'm hoping the creators of this remake give us die-hard fans the chance to save her as, for me, this was the most brutal death in character-building history of games... Given her kindness, natural beauty and loving nature (and hauntingly beautiful music score). Here's to hoping we get a chance to save Aerith! To me, she symbolizes Gaia (planet earth) itself! Perhaps we need to see her die again to realize we need to give a $h!t about how we care for others and this world?

[@cpfelp]

😭😭😭

[@Rhomagus]

Same here. Stayed up way too late on a school night just to get her back into my party only to be denied the opportunity for 23 years. I maxed everyone's stats and followed troll hoaxes hoping for something. The best we got was that glimmer of her tending the flowers in the church. I had always tried to rush the flower bed in hopes of glitching the game so I could see if I could just talk to her one last time. Alas, it was never to be. On a subsequent playthrough I remember just standing at the door because I knew she'd disappear when I reached a certain point on approach. I left the system on overnight and just went to sleep. So much has happened to me in those 23 years, including a few tragic events. This game inadvertently prepared me for those moments and I often come back to her theme to open the floodgates periodically. The creators really gave us something special here.

[@fiddydentsdents4290]

I have the Rebirth game I enjoy Aerith so much. I remember playing FF7 for the first time and she died. I erased the whole game and started over again thinking I screwed up and caused her death. I just don't want to see her die again it would be like seeing Yuna, or Rinoa die I just can't do it to Aerith again.

[@micshaz]

man you just triggered some WILD PTSD in me Yuna or Rinoa dying.... lmaoooo video games are great huh

[@knightofelemia1567]

@@micshaz Like I said in the PS1 days her dying I thought to myself I thought I f*cked up. I deleted the whole game started new trying to retrace my steps and bang she dies again. Only other death that got to me was when Dom had to shoot his wife in Gears 2. And I happen to like Yuna I remember in FFX they said she was suppose to die. And Rinoa is one of those girls whose there that people tend to forget about. When comparing her to like Tifa or Aerith. And I honestly thought I was going to lose Rinoa when they were going to seal her up. I like Rinoa out of the other FF girls next to Yuna.

@@darkcloud5631 well whatever the point is, it is not aeriths death. Sure, In OG and the events afterwards she is always that last push, she is always there when Cloud needs her with the help of the lifestream. But what if she lives, Cloud could be so much more powerful. Ignoring lore, the devs of OG confirmed that they planned a way of saving her but they couldn´t due to PS1. Now they can and we will save her as we were always meant to.

[@darkcloud5631]

@@subbaro8602 Yes, it is, one of the themes of FFVII is dealing with loss. But the current square enix can ruin any story just to put bad fanservice in games. At least we always gonna have the original…

[@yzaki62]

I'm not an expert in the world of final fantasy games, I saw my brothers playing these games when I was little in the 90s. However what I can say is that I felt romance between Cloud and Aerith, the way Cloud acts with her, it's clearly a feeling of affection and protection, for Aerith it's a bit the same, she doesn't want to leave him even if her mother forbids her (because I'm sure she heard her ask Cloud not to approach her anymore) In short, this musical theme is my favorite and which made me cry.
