Nice work. But Remake OST needs total revamp. Lots of tracks sounds off right from the start with very ambient mako theme and with some tracks totally out of place like overworld theme in Sector7 and it's hard to believe that original team made this. Someone like you should team up with others because there would be conflicts sooner or later from these single track mods. Mod which adds original Barret theme in Sector7 is the best so far IMO and fits the remake perfectly.
And yeah removing those shitty radio songs would be great too and not just because of issues with Youtube but because they sucks.
You could have at least included the comparison between the tracks for those who haven't reached this part yet, to be able to compare before downloading your mod. Have you ever thought that most people prefer to "fix" the game before they even play it? It doesn't make much sense for a person to play this part with the Remake soundtrack and then go back to save just to play with their mod for a little while. We want to get everything ready to have the greatest immersion at first, you know? If I didn't get to this part, I won't want to download your mod just because you wrote that this is the "orchestrated OST" I don't know which one is better so it's less of an incentive for people to download your mod. The biggest problem here on Nexus is that people don't pay enough attention to the description of mods, sometimes the mod is very good but people don't download it for lack of a better elaborated description, prints, and video when necessary. If you can't know exactly what changes there's no reason for me to download it, understand?.
Sorry, I didn't think about people who have yet to play the game while uploading the mod. You're absolutely right. The original game has a song for this section called 'Infiltrating Shinra tower'. That song was indeed remade for the new OST, but... it's never used (well, it is. You can hear it if you go back to the stairs AFTER having done the climb. Strange decision).
The song that does play while climbing the stairs in the remake has not been well received by most people. I will edit the description to add the comparison. To be fair, this mod will likely be downloaded by people who played the original... nostalgia is a powerful thing, you expect this song to play when you reach this section.
Yes, I already zeroed the original version and when I came across this mod it came to my mind that in the remake version in this part the music must be different otherwise your mod wouldn't exist.I apologize if my previous comment seems derogatory.
Cheers for this. I just have 1 request to whom ever can mod this.
Remember the mission "Home Sweet Slums" where you meet Tifa, then she tells you about Filter Job Quest. There's a nearby Shop she takes you that sell disc #1 "The Prelude". During the convo's you can hear the radio playing the Prelude. If its not too much to ask or even possible - I do hope a modder could pls remove all those annoying radio music? to avoid copyright issues, thanks.
The radio songs cause copyright issues? Wow, that's bizarre. I don't know what would happen if I remove radio songs. Maybe the current song will continue... maybe silence as the game expects another song? Don't know. If they're replaced by the corresponding town theme and set to Mode1 in BGMlist.uasset, it will work for sure, but it's more work :P
I believe its never-ending loop when close to Vendors or other areas. Its never silenced. At least in my experience when editing gameplay and then upload onto YT - I get copyright claims from the radio. Its really stupid. Either that or its just my country and the law is plain stupid all together.
Turning off the main music from game is okay, its just the radio are hard to get rid off. I have done many testing during my editing but the result was, the Voice had to be muted while the radio plays. This is un-professional in my book. I am unsure why Sony did not give us this option to turn off the radio. I know its more work, but just wondering. Little details like this one, would be deeply appreciated.
Heck, I would gladly pay the modder for this, somehow.
I'm still waiting for getting the Remake version of FFVII Victory Fanfare as well as Advent Children Complete version of One Winged Angel for the Sephiroth Boss fight.
You're welcome! :) I don't understand what you mean by the Fanfare theme... like, for that to play after normal battles? Not possible I'm afraid.
The sephiroth theme is possible of course, but the fight has 5 looped song sections. There are 2 alternatives: 1) Make the advent children song fully play and loop, eliminating song phases 2) Create 5 loop points in the advent children song for each battle phase (tricky but doable).
I can do the first one for you if you'd like. The second option would take me around 2 hours with testing included, sry :P Having to fight Harbinger and its 3 minions before sephiroth does not help.
Yeah, was talking about after every victory, but it does make sense that it's not possible since there is no music after each normal battle.
No problem! Take your time!
If you want to speed things up. You can use Fling's Trainer and have Unlimited ATB/Limit Break/Summon so you can keep doing combos with no waiting time :)

A long ass essay with no paragraphing and an attitude just to say "Hey guy, would you mind uploading a comparison video?".
