This is Sephiroth fighting the last boss: Cloud.

the dislike must be from Shinra Corporation

This kinda review is maybe comprehended by people who understand and feel music. It’s a bit hard to write down feelings of music and kinda soundpictures are created. Actually i find your version better than the original remake. Because of what you focused in your review video, your worked them out and brought them more to the front. First thing I found is the cymbal on the left side at 0:07 which fades longer than the others after that. Love those tiny variations. The way you used the chorus support 0:11 makes it more in the face, to set a short statement, but not let it sound too epic. The fade at 0:19 is one detail, where the bass is going a deeper and deeper, associated by the chorus in reverse - deep to high, leads to the actual part of the battle theme. This goes really into the stomach. It reminds to “Call of Duty Ghosts - David Buckley - 14 Severed Ties at 0:17” when the bass starts to introduces the next part. The hammerbell which appears at 0:31 is also louder and you created a nice effect of sound. It focused more on the left side and halls away to the right. Specially the first one, the others are lesser going left. Really compares to “Rush Soundtrack - Hans Zimmer - 09 Oysters in the Pits at 0:26”. The snare has the same impact focused to the left, but got more fade out on the right side. As I concentrated on the right side starting from the beginning, I found a single trumpet heard in the very rightmost at 0:49 / 0:49,5 , which just has short presence. It’s interesting and I’m curious what made you to place this to exactly that position? The FINAL of the Track you created Alex, introduced by the part at 01:28 brings me back for a short time to “Severed Ties of Call of Duty Ghosts at 1:20 till the end”. With all coordinated support of instruments and chorus, they roll over me without being overloaded and comes at 01:36 with dramatic and “epicness”, which could not better be placed and realized. It also includes are glorious fanfare part at 01:40 to complete the epicness, followed by an awesome short part, again the expression of the chorus to initiate the loop, and it sounds just perfect. In addition to that, at 1:44 with the last and final fanfare part, it breaks through on the right side with some kinda china cymbal support. Very nice. This Track is full of hints and easter eggs like a game. It was a pleasure again and again to analyse and focus on corners in the soundscape and find another and another detail.

This is precisely what I need during yet another 14 hour shift. This gives me a lot of energy, thanks for that.

This is a genuinely brilliant cover. You're genuinely a one-man orchestra.

Hearing this & Imagining the fierce battles i went through when I was in college, still gives me the chill

This arrangement is blowing my Effin’ MIND!! I could cry it’s just so powerful, inspired, and EPIC AF!! Thank you!!! *runs to iTunes to buy*

honestly, playing 14's 2.0 storyline had me using this cover for intense scenes rather than the game's own tracks, it's THAT good

Man I’m always blown away by your approach and flow. Keep shining

You understand music in such a way that it perfectly colors the tracks you're doing arrangements of. You understand the tracks to a point that you don't just rework the track in a slightly different style, it feels like you rebuild the whole damn thing from the ground up. And my friend, it. Is. Glorious.

I'm gonna learn to play this arrangement exactly. Wish me luck guys~

Goosebumps 💥 this is beautiful, Alex ❤️

I’m sad I can only push the thumbs up button once cause this deserves like a million. 👍👍

This is the best version of any song I've ever heard ever. Literally 100 times better than the original. You are an extremely talented lad ♥️♥️

Woa these are some EPIC melodies, you did well arranging them. love that bit at 2:17

Love it so much! This inspires me to write!

This one does certain parts a lot better than the official one imo.

Absolutely amazing Work. Nobuo should put this in right now! Seriously great job

I just got full body goose bump! This is bloody amazing!

When my childhood makes a revival. Great work man !!!!

Such an amazing work!

In awe every time I come back and listen to this.

Goosebumps. I Love it.

that is absolutely stunning adaptation!

such a good arrangement!

Awesome! Well done Alex

Awesome job! Love it!

Man! This is so Mada Fracking EPIC! energy levels through the roof after hearing this one!

Great job Alex

Damn I love this version. Good job man.👍

Holy shit. You know I grew up as a little girl sitting outside my brothers room trying to listen to this song, and I loved it, it's to this day one of my favorite FF tracks, and I didn't think I could be so impressed by a cover. Very good arrangement. When 1:00 hits you really feel like shits about to go down. The instruments kinda make me think of so of the FFT battle themes.

素晴らしいです😭 力が溢れてきますね💪😌 ありがとうございます✨

I can't explain how much my joy and happiness whenever I listen to this. All I can say from a true fan of the game is Thank you for making me smile and remember all the time I spent playing this game. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

With this, every battle would be so fkin intense. Your fans literally Alex!

Sounds great, Alex! I love how the woodblocks give a cool sense of space. Have an epic weekend!

This is amazing

The fact i got an artstation ad with him in it lol

How/Where did you get the steam-punky-metal-clang-anvil-esque sound? Its the part of the song that makes it really feel like FFVII and I've always wondered how it is generated.

Epoustouflant !!! ❤

This is impressive !!!!

Hot damn those vocal additions are so crazy and thematic with the original score you are a genius brother thanks for putting this energy into the world 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏🙏

Award-worthy arrangement

Superbe version

Your sound is really fucking impressive

I just love it.

This is epic

This is why Orchastra´s are he best Music

The anvil got me.

still listening to this one in 2022

Bon entraînant endurant

Wow. Just Wow.

Man this is something special here great job, listening in the car during my travels or through my AirPods when I’m not. Thanks for your hard work keep it up

superb!

I wish i could make orchestral music like you someday

Wow, it's very very very cool !!!=)

your arrangement really fit in with engaging sector 7's pillar chapter.. i keep imagining from when cloud climb up the pillar until jessie's death... and continue again (with more dramatical melody i guess..) when engaging the turks on the command center..

THIS IS SO UNDERRATED. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

How did you do the piano animation? I need to know that!!!

An analysis and remake of Lost Odyssey, would be greatly appreciated. The fight music in that is just epic!

Put on your headphone, close your eyes, play. Movie class soundtrack !! 😍😍😍😍😍

このアレンジが一番好き

Dude, do the whole Melody with CHOIR Voice, please. We need more CHOIR!

It's actually very good and I know it is FF7 but didn't feel quite right until precisely 0:24 that's when I got hit with pure nostalgia and chills. The life AND soul of the battle theme is there and it's fucking awesome. It's because it's the signature battle them drop that happens four seconds into the original battle theme.

Waow i love your work so much! Can you tell me what instrument and daw you use please! Congrats from France! Musically

Whelp, it's Offical! This is my favorite rendition of the theme.

I just listened to the State of the Realm episode where you mentioned you wrote a proposal track for an FF7R trailer that never got used. Is this by chance that composition? It sounds superb and hit me in the feels more than once!

For the honor of FFVII REMAKE PART 2, hope they pick this up!!

can this background be downloaded? and if the download is not copyrighted.

Alex can you do another version of the boss theme? It’s not fully listenable in the gameplay video with no voice over. U can get a more accurate idea of it

Alex is on his personal conquest to make everything Bloodborne'ish . BE MY GUEST

I hope it sounds this good in the remake cause ... OMG I FRICKEN LOVE THIS!!!!! 😊😁

You should do a FF7 Hollow Skies Cover!

DOPE.FLATOUT

Can we Please Get your Covers for The Remake as a DLC for The Game? I'll Buy it at Any Price to Support Your Epic Mastery of Video Game Music Sir Alex.

If the game remake doesn't have this, i don't want it

0:15

Cloud with Zack fight together Sephiroth with this music 😎👍

Didn't this video have an inspiring words about being an artist?

Hahaha!! Wicked

If Cloud made it into Soul Calibur!

Has a Crisis Core vibe ♥️

Guys.. Likes: 777 Dislikes:7 I got All Lucky 7s

These sewer rats appear to call themselves Avalanche sir 😉

im just wondering why does Square wont hire Alex Moukala? why Square WHY??!!!

I like it the overall arrangement but changing the instrument of the high tone flute part in the original changes its emphasis entirely I feel like. In the original in that part momentum slows down and picks up later yet again, it has more dynamic instead always pushing 110%. That way it is more story telling instead of a fully compressed pop song. Those changes create contrast and emphasis to counteract the fatigue of having 110% all the time. That part I don't like.

00:57 dude

FFACのギターアレンジにしてほしかった…( ´_ゝ`)

404 drums not found

Tries to sound too fancy, it takes away feeling. It's like spraying poop with deodorant. Tf is all this bs 1:40-1:46
