I had gotten the OST online and when I listened to it, the first thing I thought is that it wouldn't fit in a game, -every- song is orchestrated as if your sitting in a concert hall. It's very not game style, but as a music person, I appreciate it because even though I don't see how it could -ever ever ever- fit into a video game, It's composed like any other high school symphony, maybe a town symphony. At first, before reading this and all the other things (mind you I'm an FF6 Girl, Not FF7) I was actually going to buy it for the straight idea of finding out, how the music could fit in. But after reading that and -all- the other one's i've read tonight maybe I won't. I think I'll just listen to the music, pretend I'm in a concert hall, and just erase the fact it was written for a video game.

If anyone at all has played it, can you tell me..
Do the songs really start they way they do, At the beginning of each song it's dramatic, as if introducing something new, but I highly doubt it gives me something new to go with the fanfare type thing. Does it help the game or not?

And yeah, the graphics are stunning, As I said, I'm not an FF7 person but you do have to feel sorry for something that was just thrown into the meat-ginder and mangled into defeat. Think of the kids that will want to play DoC, and have never played an FF game before, They'll be turned on by the graphics but once they realize that the game's not that great, they could shun all the FF's because of these really bad spin off's that are getting out of hand.
Think of the children.
