I like them returning to the aesthetics of Tokyo Mirage Session a lot, this is really cool looking.

Love that this YouTube video is so miserably compressed I actually cannot tell which takes are supposed to be which.

Twitter really destroys the bitrate when you embed their videos off-site. If you watch it on twitter dot come directly the quality is much better.

oh right i always forget that lol

I do feel like I’d respect this a bit more if this was the only or at least primary way the game was presented

maybe it’s because my earliest experiences with SNES games were in 1998 in an emulator but ultimately I kinda like it

they added vocals to the opera, ha

Is that a retranslation of the lyrics too?

Do the other ones have polygonal backgrounds like that?

Sound aside, this looks terrible. The resolution of the moon and the font vs. that of the clouds and the character sprites. I don’t know how anyone could stand to play a game that looks like this when the original is right there.

Kind of sad that this could be someone’s first exposure to the game, like that ugly Secret of Mana remake a few years ago.

No, they added them to this one and some other effects because they know this is The Real Gamers Final Fantasy Seven

this is extra disappointing because i feel like if these had truly been made in the spirit of the original the opera vocals would have been in italian

feel like at minimum they could’ve gotten someone to do a better more uh operatic vocal performance

Yeah the current one feels a lot more like a high school choir performance than opera

counterpoint: celes should not sound like a trained operatic singer

now, as far as the other characters in the opera: yes, certainly

as a kid i had one of those game concert CDs (can’t remember the name of the event in Japan but there were a few of these CDs) and they did a vocal version of the opera scene in Japanese. it kind of works but i don’t think i’d ever want to hear it in English
