"The Price of Freedom"

I really enjoy this song for some reason, probably because it's the scene when Zack fights his best to make it back to Aerith and then dies.

Currently, I'm listening to the Crisis Core OST and though I have to say that I'm not the world's biggest fan, it's not an awful soundtrack. I still miss Uematsu and his brilliant classical-like style, but the rock-feel to the recent Final Fantasy titles isn't horrible... just not as preferable =_=;

I swear... I do love Gackt, but for some reason having a character based off his looks and having him being an influence on the series is kind of disturbing for me... Not sure how to describe it, but rather than be excited and bouncing around like a lot of fangirls probably are, it just bugs me that there's a character who looks like him =_=; I feel like J-Pop or J-Rock is invading something that feels almost sacred to me. Final Fantasy VII is a classic in its own right and the music is perhaps the best out of the entire series compilation so listening to this Gackt-like rock-ness in the music really bugs me =_=; (Just like in Dirge of Cerberus... it just bugs me)

Well, aside from music become really pop or rock-like, I enjoy a few select tracks from the OST including Ayaka's "Why," which I have to say is an incredibly beautiful song with lyrics that seem to match with the story. I was not exactly into the song at first 'cause it seemed to just bounce into the ending scene and didn't sit right with me, but now that I've actually really listened to the lyrics, I feel that it's a very fitting song. It's very beautiful ^_^

The ending theme for the game is very nice too. It's basically a medley comp of Final Fantasy VII's world theme, the Price of Freedom, Shrina Headquarters, FF7 battle theme, Aerith's theme, and Crisis Core theme, but it brings back all this nostalgia and I love it so, so, so very much. Brings back lots of good memories. I really do want to play the old game again. *sigh* (I really do not have the time though =_= or should I say... I really shouldn't even dare)

Anyway, it seems that there are intentions to remake Final Fantasy VII, but since all the original staff and crew are busy with other big projects and have very conflicting schedules, they can't go ahead and make it just yet. I must say though... if they ever get around to remaking it, it will be one of the biggest projects ever =_=; I can just see them redoing EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING. All graphics will be updated to PS3 style, so world maps, text-style, translations, and such will be updated. There will probably be voice recordings, and rather than the traditional bubble speech, they'll have the caption-like text at the bottom. All translations really need some revising, and it just overall won't be an easy project @_@; I don't know if it's even worth the trouble, but I do hope they remake it.

I really shouldn't be thinking about gaming so much =_=; but I can't help it...
