Pretty sure this makes me old, but I think I prefer the original Final Fantasy 7's soundtrack to the remake's.
The original's is some MIDI nonsense, sure, but it's electro-industrial klezmer shit, it's wild. This is crazy stuff. The remake takes all that and goes the boring orchestral route. It sounds like a movie soundtrack in places. :/
I know, I know. A lot of people *want* that video-game-as-a-movie experience, and it's something SE has been trying to do for a long time. Nothing new. Still think it's a boring, by-the-numbers adaptation of the soundtrack. :/
