[@I.am.Dian1]

Why do I feel like this live version is sadder than the original? It's true that when the music is gentle, we can clearly feel the emotions in each verse. Nobuo Uematsu's appearance was surprising and I really like this mix of him

[@12kidcat]

Well I guess that makes sort of sense since the original has been published and made while this performance is a later iteration

[@fdota]

She uses a whispy head voice a lot more in this version, sounding much more gentle, whereas she belts out more from the start in the game version.

[@dozydreamstarot]

Yeah she's using falsetto a lot more in the chorus rather than belting throughout. I think I sort of prefer this because there is a build up to that higher performance. And then it has a soft repose to end it.

[@I.am.Dian1]

@@dozydreamstarot In this version, she is much more comfortable, her voice not edited too much like the audio version, just like you are singing live.

[@SR-kh6yq]

From the official PlayStation blog - March 14 2024: Nobuo Uematsu: “No Promises to Keep” is a love song. I wanted it to exude a sweet feeling, but at the same time, evoke the complex feeling as Aerith confessed her feelings. Loren Allred: I wanted to get to know Aerith well, and I also wanted to depict her relationship with Cloud. So, for me to channel her fragile and pure personality, I needed to change certain elements of my natural vocals to match up with her character.

[@ugh5281]

thank you omg. it was so obviously clear that this song that aerith wrote in-game was about cloud to begin with but people are so deep in their denial that they don't want to believe it and they're still trying to say that it's about zack when it's been confirmed that it's not lmao...

Go do Tifa's date and say again that Aerith and Cloud is where they're going, considering the most Aerith and Cloud do is hold hands whereas Cloud and Tifa kiss.

@@princesslovexxx well, the writer also said is about her mother, she didn't meet her mother because of Cloud. I'm just saying this because sometimes everything she does and feels is all about cloud and that's not it, Aerith is such a loving character with a huge heart and minimizing her feelings only about cloud it makes me sad. Anyways everyone is entitled to believe whatever they want.

[@princesslovexxx]

​@@user-oy5xb1yo9fYeah and I ain't shutting it down. I am just saying that is still a love song and Cloud and Aerith relationship is one of the strongest relationships in the story of the game. We are not saying that other stuff in her life isn't as important. Have you seen the people who just called her Zack's girl? and how she cannot move on from him? We ain't like that. Is just that people dismiss Aerith feelings for Cloud even tho it is an important part of her character and the story as a whole. This song now shows how much she wanted a normal life, to live with her friends and to be with the person she loved that is Cloud.

it gave me goosebumps at 5:00 where the vocal end and cello played Aerith's theme. legendary

[@p.msukudom5596]

Yeah, I already believed. those two will take a chance to stay together.

nope, Zack to Aerith and Cloud to Tifa, that is and that has been ever since

[@princesslovexxx]

@@LucciLu777The game explicitly said to Zack that Aerith has feelings for Cloud now. Zack and Aerith are over. Meanwhile we saw how Cloud and Tifa don't work at all together romantically in Advent children, showing how Tifa's feelings are all one-sided now and Cloud only cares about Aerith and reuniting with her. After all, we seen in KH1 and Kh2 which is the canon couple. Another world where they managed to be together🌟

[@LucciLu777]

@@princesslovexxx I understand however Cloud x Aerith wil not be official until Square Enix decided to make a conclusion on FF7 love story like for e.g, they will make a movie where Cloud died and be reunited with Aerith while Tifa is left alone.

People need to understand. cloud hadn't zack memories he acted like zack bc what zack told him (Coma can see and hearing thing) that count as his memories. In Remake cloud can't remember aerith at church (clearly no zack memories).Jenova cells used mimic power replaced zack with cloud on cloud memories that why he acted like zack and have some point views of zack but it's his own memories. On Aerith date she said cloud is cloud and she like cloud more than zack. In the novel "the maiden who travels the planet" She rejected zack in life stream and watching over cloud that enough for explain everything. Aerith alway canon. In AC End credit cloud ride to find aerith at flower fields and stop at aerith flowers field (they show aerith in flower field).

植松さん、ローレンオルレッドさん、素敵な演奏者様方…素晴らしい音楽をありがとうございます！ エアリスが大好きで、主題歌御披露目トレーラーを拝見した時から何度も泣きました。 彼女のための曲を野島さんはじめたくさんのスタッフさんたちが心を込めて奏でて下さったことに心からの感謝を😢 本当にありがとうございます。 三作目で、本当の自分を取り戻した彼がエアリスを見つけてくれますように願っています。

[@my7162]

初めてローレンさんがNPTKを歌ったのを聞いた際、衝撃をうけ、それ以来この歌の虜になっています。FF７リメイクから入ったのですが、どうしてエアリスがここまで人気があるのかいまいちピンときていませんでした。 しかし、この歌を聞いて、彼女の芯の強さ、逃れられない宿命を一人静かに抱いて、本当の想いを表に出せない切なさが伝わってきて今では大好きになりました この歌はラブソングとのこと、彼女が心から願っているクラウドとの再会を祈るとともに、クラウドには今度こそ決して手を離さないでほしいです。 最高の楽曲と魂の歌声を届けていただきありがとうございました。

You should listen more to music. Professional musicians are always creating music together

The legend, Nobuo Uematsu, it is so good to see him performing with his band. Great vocals too by Loren. A legendary moment for FF Fans.
