Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Music Analysis (Part 5: Chapter 1 - End!)

Published 2024-08-02
Welcome to Part 5 of my track by track breakdown of the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth soundtrack! We have finally come to the end of Chapter 1. What will the future have in store for us?
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 recently came across your channel, but WOW. I've wanted someone on this platform as knowledgeable and analytical as you are with Final Fantasy scores. I adore these games and their music, and I love how you bring light to them the way they deserve to be talked about and applauded. Much love! 🙏🙏🙏

    I will dedicate parts of my life waiting for your Rebirth Music Analysis, hopefully for the next 1 - 2 years until the 3rd installment came
  • I am loving your videos so far! Even as someone with absolutely zero knowledge about music theory, these are so enjoyable to watch. No matter which approach you decide on going forward with the Remake/Rebirth music, I'm very much looking forward to it, as well as to the XVI DLC content. Really hoping your videos gain more popularity because they deserve so much more attention!

    23:00 These 2 jazz buddies! Gotta love the town of Kalm. Town theme “On Our Way” is a really nice relaxing piece too. Thanks for introducing the Jazz slang of “stanky”, Patrick. Had thought it was a negativ

    Literally binge watching all your videos in 24hrs 😂 Keep up the good content. With remake and rebirth we have content for months at this pace
  • Your series on the FFxvi ost made me appreciate it so much more. I look forward to your video on the DLC!

    These episodes were sooooo entertaining to watch! Just binged that last few hours. Really looking forward to more! Agreed that there are so many songs packed into this game so it does feel like an impossible task. But loved that you actually hit on the smaller songs that most general players wouldn’t even think twice about Maybe some videos can be smaller or 1 off 1 song videos for easier edit? And other game sections that relate could be a cluster of songs vs full chapter. Already so eager to hear your thoughts on all the intro/outro songs you used for ep 2-5 😂 Also I loved the notes on screen. Don’t change a thing 💕

    This music stuff is super niche so know that you are doing gods work bringing the community together!
  • I thought that the violin at 12:16 was the "Glori-osa Ge-ne-ro-sa!" part of OWA, just that it then develops into a new resolution. In any case, this was a fantastic series of videos! Truly fantastic, and the quality is incredible!

    14:44 Leitmotif(a) made me laugh like a baby 🤣 24:24 I'm not an expert, but I think too that it is clarinette playing here. I always linked clarinette with Tifa so it makes sens in that scene. 25:18 There is no clarinette here in A Hero Lost (Remake Intergrade), it's almost just piano (I can hear somes cords though). So again, it makes sens that they include the clarinette for the Rebirth score because the scene is so link with Tifa. But I may me biased because she's my favourite character. 😅 Anyway, again a good episode! 👏 Edit : Actually I didn't find on the Internet that clarinet was used in Tifa's theme, may be flute instead

    Proper dissection is preferred than light touch IMO.

    That jazz soundtrack is almost at the same level as hip hop chocobo, not my cup of tea and both feel out of place.
