Final Fantasy 7 x Final Fantasy 7 Remake - Those Who Fight (Together)/(一緒に)闘う者達

Disclaimer: Music/logos doesn't belong to me, it belongs to Square Enix and is composed by the legendary Uematsu Nobou sensei.
Kudos to the guy who released the video with the track here:
• Video
So the remake version of Those Who Fight/Let The Battles Begin/Fighting was released recently and I decided to muck around with the original since I realized they had a similar BPM.
Not gonna lie, I was blown away. I didn't expect both to play/compliment each other so nicely. So after doing some adjustments, I exported it and just did a 10 min version since I know a lot of my friends and people on YT will just ask for it. (No I ain't doing a 10 hour or whatever length version. Do it yourself lol)
So here it is fellas, old and new working together.
Those Who Fight (Together)
Peace out folks!

You can tell it comes from the same exact sound sheet. I like when remakes are like this: The same but upgraded

[@EvelynL.1112]

SAME

[@nuisanceabatementvehicle160]

I like when people leave well enough alone. Less "is" in fact more sometimes. This isn't bad and it won't stop me from playing the remake because the game itself looks phenomenal but it doesn't capture the tension and stress of battle quite like the original. Everyone is a fan of remakes and covers these days. I'm a purist so for me originality is more important than bells and whistles. Very few covers are better than the original. This isn't one of them.

[@FluffDictator]

Vile_Tribe original FFVII is not nearly as amazing as people remember it to be. I think they’re using the remake to capitalize on missed opportunities and nostalgia.

You know the remake did a phenomenal job when you can hear mere traces of the original

[@Rot8erConeX]

@Hyperionsf that's what's being said. Even though the two are playing at the same time, you can only hear the remake version except at key moments (like the trumpet at 0:46 and the ensuing... Whatever that high pitched instrument is). And it's because the remake was so faithful to the original, just with better sound quality.

[@Hobbes7.62]

Nothing is like the original except extremely general story and names Gameplay, music, cutscenes, character beats, and look are all completely different

Some people are saying that they can't notice the difference but listen to the remake version and you'll notice that some parts sound empty, in this video the midi version fills those parts and makes it go "forward" with some extra energy

[@kei7540]

Huh?

[@nairod0]

But the remakes version adds a lot in spaces the midi version was empty and had a ton of space, I like how the remake added the stringed part onto the main melody the second time, truely amazing.

[@adinv9257]

Oh you’re right bro

You ever get that weird feeling when something is just so amazing and beautifully chilling that it gives you this weird nostalgic feeling, kind of like determination but at the same time not really, and you feel like you absolutely have to express the feeling but it can’t be put into words because it’s just so...whatever that feeling is-and it makes your heart beat really fast? Yeah. That’s basically how I feel whenever I hear this song and I just want to shout but at the same time be really quiet and I’m just filled up with energy but at the same time not really and I could go on an endless tangent about how amazing this song is so someone please just help me like I could listen to this song over and over and over and not get tired of it-

[@Kingu-Sama]

It's easier to fall in love with music without lyrics and listen to them over and over because it's just music. That's thr true power of Orchestral and Jazz. Most people don't realize that the heart of music lies within the instruments. But those who do get much much much more out of music! This song is bursting with strong determination and overcoming! Most people miss out on it.

@@Astreon123 If you're challenging the weapons remember Emerald has an atk that does 1,111 dmg x Materia equipped per person (so having 9 equipped on any party member means they take 9,999 dmg) and Ruby is susceptible to paralysis (you can steal a paralysis item from a certain monster in the game) 👍

[@Blxz]

Beating Emerald when you don't know about Aire Tam Storm and the damage calculation is certainly harder. But it was the most challenging boss and required creative thinking. Loved playing this game back before I knew so much about it. It's impossible to really recapture that first impression of watching the Weapons fade away.

Even if 2020 was 2020, playing ff7, hyping up the remake with new fans, experiencing sephiroth in smash and waiting to know what’s gonna happen next was all so magical.

[@frankcooke1692]

There's a couple of neat compositional tricks in here, that they just take to an extreme. Namely, start a phrase in the middle of another one - and start a phrase on the last note of the last one. And I guess pentatonic scales and arpeggios never hurt anyone either - and melodies within chords. They went all out with this one. It makes me feel as ecstatic as a dog hearing 5 different emergency sirens at once

[@smokey_mcbong]

Its been 24 years since I played FF7. Back then couldn't play when it 1st came out as I couldn't afford to own a PS1 after I bought it though I still couldn't afford the game itself so I borrowed it from a friend. If I recall it had like 3 CDs you had to swap out after reaching certain points. Such good times. Now fast forward till today and I am once again in the same position I was 24 years ago lol. I can't afford the FF7 remake despite having a job due to the pricing and the fact I have mortgages to cover. As such I have to have a friend share his steam library with me so I can play it.

If you never played the original, I HIGHLY recommend it. The original FFVII stands as one of the greatest RPG games in history, it hits so hard right in the feels. It does make you bond with the characters of your team, it makes you really hate the protagonist, it's honestly one of the best games I ever played. Hands down, no joke, and that's coming from a mid 40s gamer with experience in video games going back to the early 80s, over 30 years of regular gaming on almost all systems.
