I played orignial FF7 for the first time in 2023 and seriously expected the whole game to be set in Midgar, as I heard the game was described as cyberpunk. When we were leaving the city (the screen before this, at the gate, with a different song but same theme), I sat there deeply emotional for 20 minutes just listening to the melody and how beautiful and dramatic it was, how it complimented the moment of leaving in being both dramatic and kinda "opening", wide, adventurous, like the whole world is now open for you to explore. This is also the first time the main leitmotif is introduced without being altered, like in previous sections. It was actually an interestion tensions-resolution kind of thing, as the game first gives you a changed deformed melody, and only then gives the original theme that previous melodies were based off of.
@@BORN753 This happened to me when I played it for the first time in 1997 on the original PlayStation. I just sat there for while having an emotional moment listening to the song.
we all thought the whole game was just going to be dark depressing midgar only to be shown there's a huge world to explore. They really knew what they were doing back then when they made this. Genius
I was a bit disappointed with this game after playing the 2D Final Fantasy games that came before. I thought the whole game was going to be set in Midgar and thought the same as you did when I got out of Midgar
When you stepped out of Midgar, you enter a whole new world discovering new places as this iconic song plays. Seriously, hearing this song brings in nostalgia to us all.
My brother and I were totally stunned after the chase+dialogue.... Like... "Wait... Sunlight...? No more grey colors...? Wait where are we going no.......w....... NOOOO WAYYYYY!!!! WHAT IS THAT?! A WORLD MAP?! OMGGGGG!" Totally breathtaking...! I wish videogames were able to amaze us the way FFVII did by offering a whole planet to explore...!
I agree. A larger, more comprehensive world to explore and save. And I always felt bad for Cid because he always wanted space more than life itself. Knowing the introverted, funny guy that I am, I would have ended up with Shera and made Rocket Town like NYC.
Oh man the nostalgia for this game is so strong, hearing about it for the first time thinking it was some castlevania type game from the cover art, being mesmerised by the cgi intro, getting back from school every day excited to continue the journey, taking turns with my brother reading off a tiny play guide (it still took us 120 hours lol), the feel of my ps1 controller with a strapped on analog stick because running everywhere was so tiring, feeling devastated when Aeris dies. Take me back 🥹
I will forever love how this song expresses a range of feelings, both optimistic and melancholy, and takes me on an emotional journey of sorts. Which isn't a stretch to say that applies to the game and its story as a whole, I think.
While this beautiful theme is most typically remembered as the overworld theme of FF7, it struck me as Cloud's theme instead. i will never forget the moments when this theme played during the crucial parts of Cloud's story. Even after so many years of listening to this theme for so many time, it still sends a wave of emotions everytime i listen to it
I feel the same way about ff7 music. Such great balance of tones on tracks. For me I always think of ff8 theme in balamb garden. Haven't even finished the game, but ff8 music is something special.
hearing 1:55 this part and remember the device that you used to play the game with and remembering your old room that you used to relax in is soo nostalgic i would love to return to the old days 😢😢😢😢 this part 0:51 is the most nostalgic
@@Maple_Extract yeah this game made me cry a lot of times and its the most nostalgic game I've ever seen and I'm not even from the 1900s and 2000s I would have a better time if I was from them
2:42 Out into blue skies, Out Where they reach forever. Out from shadows Away from grey and rust Where the birds sing their songs 3:16 Out unto green fields, Onto roads unknowns Out unto desert and seasides.. When will this dream end? How will the dream end? 5:17 Climb high Stand strong On mountain high Dive deeps seas Until the dream Ends There is no turn back now
My first playthru in 2000. Always did find this theme so beautiful. Was sad when it was gone after the Crater. So imagine my surprise when I hear it again in the most emotional moment of the game: the full revelation of Cloud's truth within his Subconscious. When it turns out that he, a mere grunt, and no real SOLDIER, still kept his promise to save the girl he failed to save once, and then, against all odds, did what not even other SOLDIERs or monsters could even remotely do: overpower and defeat the undefeatable Sephiroth. And suddenly, it clicked, and the theme became even more divine for me. Because I realized...THIS is Cloud's theme! This game is the story of Cloud Strife, above all else.
Core memories being unlocked with this nostalgic iconic music. Feels like yesterday hehe, RPG during younger days hits different. Exploration, new to many things, lovely feeling 🥰🤟
I just got out of Midgar and after one of the coolest ways to end an epilogue this happens. The game opens up in the best way possible…I knew the game was much bigger than the first part of the story- but seeing the world for myself and getting to see the huge landscape ahead of me was awe inspiring. I’m loving this game and can’t wait to see more of that this game has to offer!
The moment that you realized there's more than just the Midgar city in FF7. The sense of scale of this game and experiencing the overworld for the first time is just an amazing feeling. No other Final Fantasy games have come close to that feeling.
Back in the summer of 1998, I got a new PC and FF7. This theme takes me back to playing late at night and early in the morning. I can't explain how much I would pay to be 14 years old again.
Oh man. That feeling of amazement and wonder when you reach the world map, hear this theme and realizing all of the Midgar events were a simple drop of water of this legendary game!
I played FF7 for the first time the last year, and between gameplay, story and ost it has been a very memorable experience. This already feels nostalgic
Final Fantasy, Halo, and The Elder Scrolls will always have the best music for video games, even with (arguably) all three franchises being past their peaks. FFVII really was the best in the genre when it came out. This music alone encapsulates the game in a nutshell; romance ending in tragedy but also hope and triumph at the end. It changed video games like The Night Gwen Stacy Died changed comics.
I only played the FF7 original (ps1) after I watched the ff7 remake playthrough. And it was just only 2 years ago. But still...... the nostalgic feeling is there. As if I already played this game when I was a kid, 20 years ago.
As a ~13 year old when this came out, it is hard to emphasize how blown my mind was that we had an entire world to roam... the story and exploration were not going to be limited to Midgar. Still gets me choked up to this day how the story only is starting to take shape at this moment. Uh-oh... sounds like I need to prep for my millionth playthrough of this perfect game. :)
One of the best moments of the original game was hearing this for the first time. It practically felt like an entirely different game. Now, with exactly that, paired with the 4 year wait (not to mention the initial wait for remake), I think we're all more than ready to leave this godforsaken city again
I appreciate these visual OSTs. Really takes me back, like I got made fun of at school for wearing the shirt that came with the pre-order! I have these really prime memories of leaving Midgar in FFVII and also exploring around in Balamb Garden in FF8 (Doomtrain!)
ff7 for me is the most nostalgic game ever and zelda too and everything I hear the iconic music playing i feel like I want to return to the old days I'm 14 years old now I used to watch the game with my brother when I was young this game created a memory with my brother I would never forget

ミッドガルから出てこの曲聞いた時の開放感たまんないよね
Agreed 100%! I love this song!
予備知識なしでプレイしたとき、フィールドないタイプのゲームかと勝手に錯覚して、RPGらしくないな…と思ってたところにこれが流れてフィールドに出されたときの感動とこれからの旅の期待となんとも言えん高揚感があった。
FFシリーズ、史上最高峰と言って良いほどの曲ではないだろうか。。
壮大でそして未来に向かって歩き出すがその後には喜びや悲しさが人生には必ずあるという事を伝えてるような曲だと思う。そして何よりこの曲にはクラウドの回想シーンで最も重要な場面で使われてるのも含めてFF7のメインテーマという意味なのではないだろうか。
希望とか不安とか自由とか色々な想いを表してるようで好き
あなたのような感性のほうがいい
Getting out of Midgar and seeing that world is so much bigger.
It's a literally comparison to many people's childhood
Stay at home & school, never realized how large, how brutal, how beautiful the world out there.

植松さんは天才
間違いなく人間国宝だと思います
音でここまで人の心を奮わせる事が出来るんですもん
This is where the game really really clicked for me. Midgar is cool and all but FFVII has such an interesting, varied, and diverse world to explore.
懐かしい。このメロディ聴くと、高校生だった当時の記憶がたくさん出てきます。
ワイも高校生だった。なんか、良かったよね。ジーンとくる。
This soundtrack gives me all the feels. Takes me back to the 90s, when my world still made sense.
閉塞したミッドガルを出て、一気に世界が広がった時の感動は今も覚えている。この壮大なBGMがより一層そのように感じさせたと思う。
ワールドマップが球状デザインになってんのが凄いんよな
地球を見てる気分になって実際より広く感じる
ここからやっとワールドマップ出られるのかよ！と驚きと共に最高のBGM！！
あの感動をリバースでまた味わえると思うとワクワクが止まりません！
ミッドガルを抜けて、うわぁ、まだまだこれから長い旅が続くんだなぁという気持ちと、壮大な世界を感じさせる名曲
メテオの後音楽変わった時、こっちの方が好きすぎて寂しくなったの思い出しました
ずっとミッドガルの中の様なフィールドが無いまま進むのかと思ったら、外に出た瞬間「え！？」ってなる

リバース発売を間近にしてこの曲をアップしてくれたことに感謝。

9の｢あの丘を超えて｣が1番好きなんだけど、7のフィールド曲もいいんだよな。
壮大の中に哀しさというか、泣けてくる。
どっちも廃人並みにやり込んだせいか感情移入してしまうせいかな
９の曲が公開されるの楽しみすぎる
7と9の嫌な所は終盤フィールド曲が不穏な感じに変わってしまうこと
