This is perfect.

This is not perfect.

I wish I knew how you make a "long version" of a song that is already over 6 minutes...
Why do you have to mess with success, Square?
Though honestly, the worst is probably Crisis Core

You have GOT to be kidding! The CC one is the best!Quote:

I prefer the original one. :bigsmile:
I've always liked the one from Crisis Core, but maybe I'm just a giant idiot.
(FF7:AC is the best, obviously).
No you're not. I like it, too! And I'm an educated musician! :love:Quote:

has katethegreat19 done a cover of One Winged Angel? If so, that's probably the best :3!
I like the Kingdom Hearts one because there isnt as much buildup
Definitely the Piano Collections version :D
I kept thinking it was just the YouTube vids but I downloaded the mp3s and for sure it does seem like the ACC version is literally worse quality than the AC one. I can have my speakers barely turned on and AC OWA will blast out. ACC has to be turned up and I still think i can hear instruments better in the AC one.
Did anyone else notice this?
And you're not an idiot for liking the CC version. It's not bad at all. It's just nto to my taste; especially compared to the others.
Oh, I have to agree. There's just something about the orchestra in the ACC version. The band sounds fine, but the instruments sound sorta... flatter. As if the orchestra size was reduced, or if they replaced them with midi entirely.Quote:

The worst is probably the Kingdom Hearts one, its not bad, it just my least favorite.
If the Final Fantasy wiki is right then AC just used the Orhcestra version on a computer and played rock over it.Quote:

This remix is titled "Advent: One-Winged Angel" ("Sarin: Katayoku no Tenshi"), and was meant to be the main focus of the film's soundtrack. The original, orchestral version from the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack was loaded into a computer, with rock instruments playing over it, and the overall tempo increased, to give the song a more intense feel than the original.
The Black Mages Live performance trumps the others by far.

Ah, you're right. I forgot about that one. That one's friggin' awesom!Quote:

The only difference in that live version is the guitar starts up earlier. Which I don't like because the AC versio starts identical to the Orchestra version (since..it is the Orchestra version) and then just kicks in after about 40 seconds with the metal awesomeness.
Are you kidding me? The Black Mages version's solo during the whole "veni mi fili" sequence is far more awesome than the original one.Quote:

I have no Idea which one I'd pick. ;_;
That's not the real question because OWA is better.
Yes I went there.
My favorite OWA version is the one played live at Distant Worlds in Stockholm on December 4th, 2007:

I think it's much more intense and "packs more punch" than other versions. It also sounds like they're playing it a bit faster than usual. The one on the Distant Worlds CD isn't as good - it's much "softer".
