Thread: Best and Worst One-Winged Angel

  1. #1

    Default Best and Worst One-Winged Angel

    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!

    Not saying it's bad - just not my favorite. I've listened to it and though it starts off great, not a fan of about the middle to the end.

    I prefer the original one.

    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!

    Of course, the AC one is the best, but this is the most original one.

    has katethegreat19 done a cover of One Winged Angel? If so, that's probably the best :3!

    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.

    I'd have to say the best version is either the original or the orchestrated one, probably the orchestrated one.

    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.

    "One-Winged Angel" was remixed in the film Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children for the final battle between Cloud and Sephiroth. 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.
