About the FFVII:AC soundtrack...

[Nova Briar]

Hi, everyone! This is my first post on these forums, so please be nice to me!

Anyway, I was thinking about the potential songs they might choose to use with Advent Children. I'm pretty sure that One Winged Angel will be included (I mean, it's been used in how many trailers now), as well as the main theme (for the same reason as OWA), and possibly Aeris/Aerith's theme...but I have no idea what other music they might choose to include in the soundtrack. For instance, will there be other songs from the original soundtrack of VII, or completely different music? Will the music be more in the genre of classical/orchestrated, or will it be closer to rock? I have no idea.

The point behind this post is, I'd love to know what you guys think might be on the soundtrack (or even what you would hate to see included). Any opinions, anyone?

Im quite sure Nobua was involved in the making of the soundtrack but I have absaloutely no idea what the situation is now that hes left. Well whoever gave the interview on the music seemed interested in using many old tracks re orchestrated from the game as you've noticed with one winged angel. There was also the piano of the FFVII theme playing which Id certainly expect to make some appearance in the movie. Id love to hear anxious heart re done. That was a brilliant piece. All round I expect AC to be mainly tracks form VII re done while new tracks will be left to the other games (Dirge of Cerb, Crisis core, before crisis)

I agree, the soundtrack will very probably be mostly themes from VII re-orchestrated. One-winged Angel sure sounds great I think you'll agree Very epic. Nobua's soundtrack for the game is so bankable I can't see them wanting to change anything. They're all gorgeous. I can't wait to hear Aeris's Theme in full orchestration, if we do hear it that is, we'd better

EDIT - Welcome to the forum, hope you have fun here

One Winged Angel was most certainly epic and I love the re orchestration(s?). I imagine flowers blooming in the church while Cloud talks to Aeris in the flower field but I think Aeris will have some role to play in the story. I think now that (SPOILER)Sephiroths been seenI think the audience will be in a false sense of security thinking that thats all the suprises revealed. Maybe Aeris will somehow help similar to the games ending, in between there I guess you could manage to use Aerises theme. Nothing more than a THEORY. The way I see AC ending is with Clouds death (a siginificant characters death was confirmed) and that would also be a good time to play it. I'll cry so much if it does work out that way but it would be class storyline.

Oh, I hope Cloud doesn't die...I can see how it would work with the storyline and even be an appropriate ending, but he's one of my more fave FF characters. Oh well--no matter how it ends, I'm sure I'll end up buying it anyway. I'm a sucker like that.

I agree, the re-orchestration of One Winged Angel was fantastic (listening to that very song right now). The thing that really had me wondering about the music in the movie was something Nobuo Uematsu said while he was being interviewed by AdventChildren.net (you can find the whole interview on their website). He said, "There are hopes that the music from AC will be more popular. The music is more rock based, different to the music from the games." I couldn't recall very much "rock based" music in VII...the only thing that came to mind, in fact, was Otherworld from X and similar things like that. Maybe they'll have the rock based music during the battle scenes, or something...? Ah, I don't know. Just speculating.

Oh...and thanks for the welcome. I appreciate it!

Did you think I was prodding at you? I didn't mean it that way! Talking to a newbie is welcome enough, believe me. Don't sweat it.

If for no other reason, Square should work Aeris's theme in somewhere as it is's so gorgeous.

Mmm, I've heard about a character death being planned, I've said in other posts that I have a hunch Cloud will die at the end, I'd really he rather not but like you say Nova Briar, it would be fitting to the story-line. And a great opportunity to play Aeris Theme when Cloud and her meet up in, where-ever it is Aeris in now....wah!

I hope Aeris does contribute something to the victory aswell(heres hoping there is one ). Just like she did in the game, I love Aeris, I don't think she should be revived in the film though. Well....*ponders* maybe, as long as they play her theme though.

Lol, yes I guess its hard being a noob on some forums. We could pretend to be noob-phobic if you want I guess. *points and yells* Noob! Noob! :shoot:

Curiosity: Where did you guys hear that a major character would die? This is the first I've heard of it...fascinating stuff. Gives me more to think about while I'm pretending to take notes in my psyc 212 lecture!

I will be very happy if a decent theme of Aeris' Theme is included--it's a beautiful, melancholy tune, and one of my favorites. (I've got about six variations of it on my computer... ) As for Aeris being revived in the film...well, I don't think that she'll get revived and then Cloud will die at the end, unless they both die together or something similar. (I mean, what would be the point, otherwise?) I wouldn't mind seeing Aeris come back, though, as long as it's not too cheesy...you know what I mean. Surely they can work it into the story without making it really fake or improbable.

(Hmm...You know, at one time I would've said "How can they bring Aeris back? She's dead!" But since that same could apply to Sephy, and he's back...well, I don't doubt anything anymore.)

We could pretend to be noob-phobic if you want I guess. *points and yells* Noob! Noob! :shoot:

LOL! I...ah...I appreciate that you didn't do that... Seriously, though, that's not too far off from the way it is in some places. So glad to see that you guys don't slap a scarlet "N" on me...

I've heard there is a major character death from other people around here quite frankly. I think it probably comes from an interview with one of the Square head-honcho's. I think its fairly likely someone will die but honestly, we just wont know till it comes out.

I know its like that some places, watch out for others round here I name no names.... hope to post with you in the future.

Ok I didnt think so(But just in case :x)
Square definitely said there would be a significant death. Im not sure who.

[Nova Briar]

Truthfully, the only really "signifigant" person I can think of whose death would make sense would be Cloud's. There are a few other people who were prominent to some degree in the original storyline of VII who are in AC (such as (SPOILER)Sephiroth, Tifa, Rufus, etc...)but their deaths wouldn't carry as much weight as Cloud's...especially since I have a hunch his angst over Aeris' death is going to be a point of contention in AC. *shrugs* Does that make sense? But who knows...Squeenix has pulled out enough surprises already; I don't think that the death of someone besides Cloud or one of the other above mentioned people would really shock me at all. It's not probable, but it's still possible. Geez, I wish the film would come out already so I wouldn't have to sit around making up theories...

One thing is for sure, it isn't Vincent (eg: FFC) and I'm not going to make any theories.

[Clouded Sky]

Black Mages "Those Who Fight Further" is pretty sweet. I would really love to see some rock put in. Balanced by orchestral music of course. "One Winged Angel" is gorgeous.
