[@michaeldane75]

The greatest video game of all time in my opinion. The best display of a full package.

[@Postbadger]

It's hard to isolate my favorite aspects of this medley, but I have to say The Great Warrior/Cosmo Canyon really got to me and the subdued transition into the world map theme was fantastic. With the world map theme you did both the parts where it's welling up and when it's sinister justice. I also really like what you did with Aeris's theme, nice touch.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you for specifying your favorite parts!

[@BlackWingedSeraphX]

This game and plot twist shook me so much to the core that it inspired me to become a writer and I relate with Cloud so much!

[@obadiahkilgore2964]

"Quite possibly the greatest game ever made..." Indeed. FFVII is my starting line. No game will ever take it's place, and the remake is almost here! FF fans rejoice!

[@Duhemsounds]

Looks like I've missed that beauty, a lot of lovely themes into that medley :)

[@selenopheria]

This really made cleaning my wreck of a kitchen much more pleasant. If I had to pick a favorite, I'd say when Tifa's theme came in. My vision started to go and I felt like she was there with me. Like we were tidying up the 7th Heaven.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks! :D I'm glad it helped!

[@adamclark8994]

Man Final Fantasy VII had some good music...

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Adam Clark Agreed!

[@QuarkStorm]

Another great game among my top 5 all-time games. This is very good and it's leaving me speechless. 10/10 The world map theme was perfect :) Good job.

[@RebeccaETripp]

+SaFlamingFire Oh, thank you! :D

[@LaRoseFairy]

Again a wonderful work. Your world map theme gives me the shivers ♥

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you. :)

[@gabrielleblack9914]

Thanks for putting this medley together. It brings back memories when I used to play it(never finished though). This was the first video game I ever played. My dad got it when it came out and also never finished. My goal is to complete the game. Thank you.

[@mariomasters1]

Did you end up finishing FFVII?

[@davnyman]

No way.... this is wonderful! Goosebumps all over... man, even though it's impossible, I really want to play this game for the first time again!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks a bunch, David. This is really wonderful, coming from you, as I often look up to you as a composer. :)

[@ystplrd]

Thanks for uploading the making of video. It helped me really appreciate all the work that went into this. So much going on in the World Map theme, so many feels!

[@RebeccaETripp]

I'm gad! I exist to bring about the feels. :3

[@nickkelley9204]

FF7 is my fav after 9. Great job on this, by the way!

[@RebeccaETripp]

It's up there for me, but it's got a lot of fierce competition with the older ones, and, you know, FF9. ;)

[@drizztt18]

The transitions o.o they are so well done, what a trip down memory lane.

[@RebeccaETripp]

That was my plan for you!

[@kenadkins3451]

Hats off to your rendition of Great Warrior. It was truly excellent :)

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you! ^_^

[@karoncannon6635]

This deserves more attention.

[@karoncannon6635]

Thank you for bringing back my nostalgia!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Karon Cannon I'm really glad you had that experience. ^_^ Thank you, too.

[@jarvis007]

What a treat finding your channel. My two favourite gaming franchises ever are FF and Zelda, and you're covering both. I look forward to enjoying this channel!

[@RebeccaETripp]

^_^ Thanks so much, Dave.

[@jarvis007]

No problem, I'm enjoying it :) Some songs I'd like to hear from you - Awakening from FF6, Relm's theme from FF6, Forrested Temple from FF7, and Cid's theme from FF4, if you haven't already done so :)

[@RebeccaETripp]

Well, you're in luck with Awakening: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJrVgmauhtmcn6c Also, the other things you listed are all things I'm planning on eventually doing. :3

[@jarvis007]

Nice one!

[@leonardoyepes1270]

Una maravilla épica. Lloré con escucharlo.

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Leonardo Yepes Gracias.

[@lloydnorval1989]

You nailed all the aspects of each song I closed my eyes and I was there...

[@TommieGrabiec]

Awesome composition, FF7 remains one of my all time favourite games of all time with superb music :)

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you, Tommie. Yes, I agree.

[@eskimo4130]

Great work, very enjoyable. Enjoyed FF9 too. Will check out your other work.

[@RebeccaETripp]

eskimo4130 :D Thanks! FF9 medley might have been my favorite one to make- maybe tied with 6.

[@jaythesupernerd9482]

This is beautiful, as always. Keep it up. Ahh, to be young again (that being said i'm actually 20).

[@RebeccaETripp]

Lol. You're younger than most of the characters in the game. I'm glad you like it!

[@Schematist]

Rebecca you have done it again!!! Great work!!!!

[@RebeccaETripp]

^_^v

[@furrysweetheart08]

Another magnificent masterpiece. I enjoyed Cid's theme a lot. Great transition there to Tifa's theme. The entire score's beautiful. Brought me back lots of memories :) wonderful job again, girl! If you're ever into any ideas for future projects, I think you'd do well with an FF8 orchestral medley. :D Someone's becoming the new Hans Zimmer. ;)

[@RebeccaETripp]

Wow! Thank you for all your kind words! I greatly respect Hans Zimmer, so it's very flattering to be compared with him. You will be pleased to know that the FF8 medley is already in the process of being made- along with FF2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9. I already finished FF1, as you already know. ^_^

[@TheCreepypro]

a very nice medley at first I was kind of disappointed that it was so short and didn't use that many songs but I was very quickly made to change my mind when I heard how well you used the songs you did they all sounded better than I have ever heard them and made to flow so beautifully from one to the other this medley is a perfect example of quality over quantity

[@RebeccaETripp]

Well, thank you. I honestly look back on this medley with slight regret, because it was only the second or third FF medley I created, and that was before I decided to start incorporating larger numbers of tracks. Back then, I naively assumed that people wouldn't want to sit through 20-30+ suites. I later discovered, however, that the longer they were, the more people seem to enjoy them. If I could remake this from scratch, I would probably include at least 10 other themes!

[@TheCreepypro]

@@RebeccaETripp I still love this and will hope that one day you get to make it the way you want if time permits and inspirations strikes!

[@bribee4313]

CRYING BECAUSE OF THE AMAZINGNESS!!!! LOVE THIS!!!!!

[@RebeccaETripp]

+BriBee Dubs Thank you so much!

[@GrahamBessellieu]

Seconded. Seriously, I wasn't expecting World Map Theme to hit that hard... took Uematsu to the next level.

[@sgtnightingale7225]

Nobuo Uematsu has said in some comments and in interviews that he believes this was the best work he did. It's not hard to see why when comparing as a whole, the Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack against the entire soundtracks of other games. In my opinion, there is just so much variety and yet it blends so well.

[@RebeccaETripp]

It's top tier for sure! I think the best ones are (objectively and compared on a ratio) 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Of those, I'd personally rank FF6 and FF3 the highest.

[@DavidScotton]

I'm curious where you heard that. I've always heard he said FF9 was his best work (for instance it says that on this wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Final_Fantasy_IX)

[@AllenLSwain]

same. Edit: 4 is among my favorites.

[@eartianwerewolf]

I think 9 is his favorite, but maybe not his best? I am not sure.

[@eartianwerewolf]

Here we go : What piece of work from your career are you most proud of? [Without hesitation, Uematsu responded]: “Nine! Final Fantasy IX.” web.archive.org/web/20090112134944/www.neomag.co.uk/article.asp?IntID=14 So it couldn't have been 7.

[@luiskabal1595]

love your medleys Rebecca

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you! ^^

[@luiskabal1595]

I listen to them every day, so thank you !!

[@RebeccaETripp]

That really makes me smile! ^_^

[@wumpascott]

Awesome! Love the Seto theme at 6:00.

[@RebeccaETripp]

wumpascott ^_^ Thanks.

What the hell i didn't comment that video already ?!? Im running of compliment to give to you, i'll switch to french then. Tu es la meilleure !!!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Merci! :3

[@riteasrain]

Very nice, Rebecca!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks.

[@alvideos2145]

Really great, would like to hear your version of the battle song.

[@RebeccaETripp]

That's coming. :) I have three FF1-10 battle medleys that include all the FF7 battle tracks between them. I'm going to remaster them eventually.

[@regnauddenis6709]

You deserve nothing but heart here❤️❤️❤️😊

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you!

[@Harutjun]

awesome and the art looks great

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you! :D

[@marinero.bengali2]

Love all of this, one of my favorite game along with Wild Arms and Suikoden II. This rises my soul, especially the cosmo canyon (i think is the cosmo canyon the 7:00) music T_T xD

[@RebeccaETripp]

Sergio Martin Scotto Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it so much. :3

[@marinero.bengali2]

Six years and still listening to this (L)

[@RebeccaETripp]

Gabrielle Black, I can't reply to you, but thank you/you're welcome, and nice Umbreon picture. :)

[@Master.Mi.777]

+Feokew smith Lol, right-winged angel tries to seed despair. Just the good old expert Soldier hint again - never store Gysahl greens in your underwear when going for inflammatory speeches in front of chocobos. Might cost some balls.

[@Master.Mi.777]

+Feokew smith Yeah, nice - but that 's no reason to talk to an obviously nice girl with love and passion inside like the last dick on earth. There are loads of other girls (for example the lying and scheming chicks with no love and no passion inside) who derserve to get the kick-ass language (and some flying axe kicks maybe) much better. Besides - what happened to your first comment?

[@RebeccaETripp]

+CloudonFire85 I think he was just trolling. For one thing, I've never done a cosplay of Aerith (or any other vg characters) and secondly, there is no evidence that I'm interesting in "getting boyfriends". I think he's just trying to get attention.

[@Master.Mi.777]

+RebeccaETripp Yeah, maybe. Besides - which DAW (music software) do you use for composing, arranging and mixing your soundtracks/remixes? Your sample library of VSTIs sounds pretty decent. ))

[@RebeccaETripp]

***** Thanks for your interest. Ableton is my DAW. I arrange in Noteworthy, though. (I know, it's old!) This song is literally from when I just got Ableton and my VSTs, so it doesn't accurately reflect the quality of my current work, or the VSTs I use- but, that being said, I mainly use the Eastwest stuff, but I also use some of the Garritn stuff, and some random ones.

[@marcosj1986]

Nobuo himself would be envious.

[@RebeccaETripp]

:O
