Final Fantasy VII OST - One-Winged Angel [SNES Edition EX]

[@tssf]

Hey everyone. I am the composer of this remix. This discussion is pretty interesting lol.. The SPC700 outputs at a max sample rate of 32KHz. The sample playback speed goes up to 128KHz, but that doesn't mean these voices are impossible. Can the SPC700 output these vocals with this clarity on an actual SNES? If the sample fits within 52K (with 10K reserved for echo). This remix I made that you're hearing is basically a what-if scenario where if you reserved 2 SPC700's for the 16 channels of audio, and then applied one SPC700 per vocal sample lol. In other words, yeah this song is impossible on a vanilla SNES and was made with Impulse Tracker and applied an SNES echo to it (Using Plogue's chipcrusher 2 VST), and it took liberties, but if the SNES had 16 channels, no memory limits, but kept the FF6 samples..and still output at 32KHz, this is how it would sound.

[@Nugem]

It's a honor to have you here! Thanks for the detailed explanation!

[@civilwildman]

Do you do Touhou remixes at all, Mr. Valente?

[@micahlindley7515]

[@ThanatosZero]

@@Nugem There is a sort of similiar path, which 8BitDanooct1 took, with the result that the voice samples took up 230kb of memory for a NSF file. The file can be played on a NES emulator. kzbin.info/www/bejne/haHMlqamg8yse9E

[@Eonaltus]

I think next time you should try to compose it with some limitations. It's not bad, but I was expecting something to sound a little closer to what I would expect if I were to use the original hardware.

[@DenGreatshot]

@@thehedgecatunion2550 In fairness, like most of FFVII, the translation is a mess, and it's suppose to be Seraph Sephiroth, not "Safer". But yeah, he's kind of a pushover, considering his ultimate attack can't actually even kill you in the western version of the game since it's %dmg.

@@cometstar4077 in the JP version of the original game it was just normal magic damage, so it could kill you there.

I just remembered that a Seraphim is a type of angel with almost no human-like body and wings, which is what Sephiroth looks like, and Sephiroth’s name almost sounds like Seraphim. I’m only noticing this now and it just makes sense to me. What a genius idea the designers must have though of when making this boss. It makes me like the game even more.

[@jamesonshekmeister]

*thought Edit: Thanks for the heart btw.

[@yourehereforthatarentyou]

iirc, the word “sephiroth” is the plural of the word “sephira” which is some kind of biblical term representing something along the lines of a “tree of life” similar to yggdrasil i think

[@allaze-eroler]

Tales of Phantasia was one of these rare snes game that use a song for the opening of the game, instead of just reading the song from the file like a normal midi or mp3 file do but instead, it’s directly live streaming from the cartridge in real time because they don’t have the capability to reproduce the voices so… that is how they managed to pull it out.

[@Sephioss]

Some games had sound chip. Not only Tales of Phantasia but also first Star Ocean ( 1996 only Japan )

[@gavinphoenixballesteros3080]

This really make me wonder what FFVII would be like on the SNES

[@stargazersdance]

Me too. But it was going to be an N64 title if PlayStation wasn't a thing. Makes me wonder how it would've looked then since the N64 was graphically more capable than the PS1, but still lacked in a lot of other spaces which made the PS1 beat the N64 by a margin.

FFVII on the SNES with Super FX Cartridge, 3D is only used for spells.

[@gregholman2431]

This is probably one of the most famous and apparently most praised video-game tunes, ever!

[@Yabuturtle]

I think if they really tried, they probably could have released ff7 in 1995 or 1996 at the latest. The best snes graphics look more detailed than the early ps1 models, even if the ps1 has better sound and more animations. They probably could have used this kind of music, even with the chorus, since they were good at emulating real chorus singing and real music. Like with Killer Instinct, Donkey Kong, ect. Their stuff was emulated, but that music sounded like real music.

Outstanding remix, but was the SNES even capable of outputting vocals this clear?

[@Nugem]

I dont think so. Maybe with something 'extra' in the cartridge like the FX-chip?

[@adammatlack4667]

My thoughts too.. I would have left the vocals out or added something more plausible since it's kind of a demake. It is awesome though:^{)>

[@zanegandini5350]

@@Nugem Yeah the MSU2 chip can add CD-quality audio, but I'm pretty sure that's independent of the SPC700 itself, which can only output 32khz at most.

[@Nugem]

@Adam Matlack There's are some versions like that already; in my last remix, for example, I compressed the vocals to sound more like the ones in the Tales of Phantasia Intro Song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH_PfIaPrLyWmqc This Mathew Valente's version take some take some liberties with the high-quality chorus but has the best audio mixing, in my opinion.

I'm not an expert but NES supported sound channel for veery low quality voice samples (wich are almost unused) so I think why not?

One thing that soundfont remixes of One Winged Angel never seem to get right is that they're always afraid to include the Latin choir. I know it doesn't seem technically feasible but if you ask me, the choir MAKES the song. Even if it's on NES it just doesn't feel right without the choir.
