Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Music Analysis (Part 2: Chapter 1 - Start)

Welcome to Part 2 of my track by track breakdown of the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth soundtrack! This episode covers the beginning of Chapter 1.
There are no spoilers for anything beyond chapter 1 of Rebirth, although I'm assuming you are familiar with 1997's Final Fantasy VII...

I love how many ways they arrange Tifa’s theme throughout this game

[@patrickrainville]

I'm really looking forward to hearing more of them! I'm still not super far in the game yet..! Once I finish the rest of the Rebirth chapter 1 analysis vids, I'm thinking of making a video comparing all the ways Remake reuses and rearranges Tifa and Aerith's themes. Would love to do one for Rebirth too, down the line.

This is really awesome! It's so much fun to find out or explicitly reflect on all of these musical references, your voice is well suited for this, and your editing is on point. It's also clearly your own style, which should help you in the long run. I was very surprised when I saw how little traffic this channel currently has - you could definitely do Alex Moukala numbers just by keeping up everything you do in these Rebirth analysis videos. I hope to see your channel grow, I really want to see more of your analyses. Good luck!

[@patrickrainville]

Thank you very much! That is very kind of you to say. Definitely more videos in the tank to come! :)

Zangan's theme reminded me very strongly of the Veldt theme in FF6

[@patrickrainville]

Oooh interesting catch! Yeah I can definitely hear those opening chords now that you mention it

[@LiamBujold]

Pumped for part 3 and a comprehensive breakdown of remake. Awesome work.

[@patrickrainville]

Thank you very much! It's been mega busy lately, but finally working on part 3 atm!

Thank you for making more videos of this series. Absolutely love this type of analysis.

[@patrickrainville]

Thank you, Ice Dragon! I truly appreciate your words of encouragement. ❤️

[@Bboydragon25]

Make more! Love it

[@patrickrainville]

Thank you! Definitely will make more. I at least have the entirety of Chapter 1 in the tank. Beyond that, we'll see!

Dude again, super cool video! I like that you're going chronologically with the in-game music, so many little arrangements and tracks that are absent from the soundtrack and now I get to give a proper listen with added analysis! I don't know how long you intend to keep going like this but if it's chapter after chapter, I'm here for the ride haha, great job and good luck!

[@patrickrainville]

Thank you very much! Every vote of confidence means a lot to me :) For the time being, I'm only thinking about doing Chapter 1. These videos aren't setting the world on fire the way my FFXVI video (well by my low standards, lol), so I haven't decided yet if I want to lock myself into a series that would likely take... a hundred episodes! But maybe! They are a lot of fun to make, so I'm not complaining either. I'll see where things are at once I'm done chapter 1 :)
