So, if I exclude anything from FFVII, two of my absolute favorites would be: "Blinded by Light" - FFXIII (Masashi Hamauzu) "Somnus (Instrumental)" - FFXV (Yoko Shimomura)

Here's a question: what's your favorite Final Fantasy theme that isn't composed by Nobuo Uematsu or Masayoshi Soken? I'll share mine tomorrow.

RIP, Polly, my sweet baby girl. You never judged me, never wanted space from me, and always loved me no matter how difficult or unpleasant I was. I don't know how I'll keep going without you, but you always wanted me to be happy and desperately tried to comfort me when I wasn't. I LOVE YOU! 💔

I'm finally streaming more Shinra Archaeology Cut (FFVII OG)! We're finishing up Gaea's Cliffs, witnessing a classic mental breakdown, and maybe pulling off a great escape. twitch.tv/ffviimusic

Now that the new Ever Crisis season pass has dropped, I can reveal my latest wallpaper edits. I just have two (of the same one). The tracks are "CRISIS CORE Theme - Dreams and Honor" and "Why <CCFFVII Mix>" (both from Crisis Core, obviously). The second is in a reply because...Bluesky.

Aaaaand we're back on Twitch with more Shinra Archaeology Cut (FFVII OG). Heading into the Temple of the Ancients, one fairly obscure forgotten city, and maybe some snowy cliffs? twitch.tv/ffviimusic

We're back to the Shinra Archaeology Cut in FFVII OG! Let's go meet a curmudgeonly captain and visit lands to the far west, and...who knows what else? twitch.tv/ffviimusic

Based on all the reactions I saw to this wallpaper, there was only one piece of music I could put to this. No, it's not music from FFVII, but don't tell me this is what all of you heard while you were fawning over this.

Okay, I came up with a BRILLIANT edit for the new Zack Fair summer outfit wallpaper in Ever Crisis...but Bluesky is on its bullshit right now where it hates media uploads, so alas, if you want to see it, you'll have to venture to the bad place to do so (if you still have an account there). SIGH!

I'm back with more Shinra Archaeology Cut (SAC) mod in FFVII OG. Hopefully I can make a bit more progress today. twitch.tv/ffviimusic

After far too long, I'm continuing my FFVII OG journey with the Shinra Archaeology Cut! We're heading to North Corel to start today. twitch.tv/ffviimusic

Somebody is standing outside your window professing their love for you. What Final Fantasy theme are they blasting to gain your affection?

Soooooooo, bad news: no new arrangement of "Listen to the Cries of the Planet" in the new Ever Crisis chapter despite covering the Forgotten City. 😭😭😭

T-minus one hour until we get to hear new OG arrangements in Ever Crisis.

Thank you all for the responses to this. Glad to see there are plenty of other rock music lovers out there (not that I really had a doubt).

Okay, but this is Real Shit. I'm glad I'm not the only one who obsesses over the musical details.

Okay I've said this multiple times before, but thanks to covert black ops we were able to get our hands on the goddamn sheet music for the FFVII Rebirth world tour, so here are the definitive, absolutely 100% official English lyrics to Rufus's Welcoming Ceremony:

I haven't really mentioned it on here much (if at all), but my first playthrough of @shinraarchaeology.bsky.social's FFVII OG mod has allowed me to identify numerous issues with the PC port's BGM files, which has resulted in me helping edit new BGM files for them to use to correct the issues.

Going to learn Beta from the Midgar Zolom (Midgardsormr), trek through the Mythril Mines, and maybe visit a fort and an imperial coastal city on stream today. Come hang out if you'd like! twitch.tv/ffviimusic

I've thought multiple times about putting together a playlist of rock/metal FF tracks. Which ones would you think absolutely need to be on such a playlist? (We're talking official or officially licensed! Also, I know everyone's first suggestion is going to be "Otherworld", so don't suggest that!)

Okay, today we're *really* going to finish the Shinra building—if it doesn't start storming terribly and knock out my power. Come hang out on Twitch for more FFVII OG - Shinra Archaeology Cut! twitch.tv/ffviimusic

Continuing the Shinra Archaeology Cut mod (plus some visual mods) in FFVII OG today. We've made it to the Shinra building and will *hopefully* reach the wide, open world (i.e. the world map). Come hang out! twitch.tv/ffviimusic

Live on Twitch with more Shinra Archaeology Cut mod in FFVII OG! Today's the day I get to talk about the one unused piece of music in FFVII OG! twitch.tv/ffviimusic

I'm loving the mod so far. There's a lot more restored dialogue than I expected, as well as a couple of new gameplay adjustments (nothing major so far). It's really cool to be able to experience the game in a new, authentic way.

A bit of music in the FMV where Shinra blasts Sephiroth's barrier was just broken for in the PC version for 27 years apparently. The bit at the end after the barrier dissipates is normally cut off in PC. Big ups to @ffviimusic.bsky.social for pointing it out to me and providing a fixed music file.

I'm going live on Twitch with @shinraarchaeology.bsky.social's FFVII OG mod, Shinra Archaeology Cut (SAC)! It contains a new English localization, restored content mined directly from the game's data, and some rare but interesting musical changes. Come see what it's about. twitch.tv/ffviimusic

Good morning. I might start streaming the Shinra Archaeology Cut mod of FFVII OG today, if I get all the things done that I need to get done today first. If I do, it'll probably be 6-7 hours from now.

I thought I'd put together a few EC wallpaper edits real quick. I wanted to do one of Aerith with more upbeat music but couldn't think of anything that fit really well, and unfortunately I've run out of time. Which of Tifa's do you like better? See replies for more. drive.google.com/drive/folder...

I'm free from work until the 14th! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I can't remember if I mentioned it here, but I *really* want to play through the @shinraarchaeology.bsky.social mod of FFVII OG, and I streamed my last playthrough of OG, so I'll probably stream this one. I may start that either this weekend or next week.

Yessssssss! Been waiting for this analysis of Roche's theme! @amtrax.bsky.social knows what's up.

This is a GREAT video, and it reminds me that I need to play the Shinra Arch cut soon. I'll probably have to stream this one! Also, I'm legally obligated to share this because it features the one unused piece of music from OG, known to us only by its file name: "Comical."

I know this has fuck all to do with FFVII music, but OH MY GOD HE'S CROCO!

It's been a LONG time since I did any Ever Crisis wallpaper edits, but I decided to roll with a few different versions of Cloud's new outfit wallpaper. I stuck with Advent Children for these and did two more aggressive and two softer ones. Which one is your favorite? drive.google.com/drive/folder...

I've been sharing all hype for Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles on Twitter, and people seem to be really responsive. That makes me happy. Tactics is an amazing game.

Good evening, all. For those who missed it, I created a Patreon yesterday to help with my efforts to make unreleased FFVII music accessible to everyone. Even if you can't contribute, reposts are appreciated! t.co/RiOoH9Hdp0

For those who missed this earlier today... (If you can't support, your reposts are still appreciated!)

Good morning, all! My Patreon is now set up! Please check it out, offer your support if you're willing/able, and share any feedback you have. patreon.com/FFVIIMusic?u...

After consideration, I do think I'll try to get a Patreon set up, and if I don't get enough support to actually fund extra storage space, I'll adjust to cater to personal requests from patrons. Not entirely sure what that will look like, but I'll try to look into it this week.

For anyone who didn't see this yesterday. (Responses have been extemely low, so if you're wanting this to happen and would 100% contribute, speak now!)

Hey, all. I've received a lot of requests relating to my music uploads, and the only way I can accommodate is by paying to expand my Drive storage—but I need money to do that. So, if I started a Patreon, would anyone contribute? See the screenshot for details.

Oh, hello, new followers. I apologize, as I'm not terribly active on here. How are things in the Good Place?

I received way more responses than I expected, and I agree with a lot of these. "Stickerbush Symphony" from Donkey Kong Country 2 is one of my absolute favorite pieces of music, and "Corridors of Time" from Chrono Trigger is amazing, too. I could name several themes from FFIV-VI.

This is pretty off-brand for me, but I'm extemely curious: what would you consider the best if the best of SNES video game music? (Specific tracks over entire video games, if possible.) I would start, but I want to see if any of you point out the ones that immediately come to mind for me.

Drinking local whiskey and watching the latest @patrickrainville.bsky.social Rebirth music analysis video. A damn good night, if you ask me. Here it is, if you're interested. youtu.be/FxDy1FGwIw0?...

Thanks to everyone who weighed in on this (and/or voted on the Twt poll)! The majority of Twt voters had it right: Uematsu's only involvement in the Remake trilogy has been composing the theme songs ("Hollow" and "No Promises to Keep") for each game. I'll explain more in a (hopefully) quick thread.

SHE'S HERE! 😭😭😭

FYI, I'm not ignoring your replies, but I want to give it about a day before I publicly comment on it so as not to influence anyone's reply.

It doesn't look like it's possible to do polls on Bluesky, but over at the bad place I asked the following. I'm curious: what level of involvement do you think Uematsu has had in the Remake trilogy? 1. Worked on many Re themes. 2. "Hollow" and NPtK only. I'm curious to hear everyone's assumption.

It did not arrive yesterday. I am devastated. I'm also dramatic as hell.

My copy of the FFVII Rebirth Acoustic Arrangements Album should arrive tomorrow! I'm so excited. Anyone else pre-order this?
