To celebrate the recent release of the FFVII Rebirth soundtrack in Japan, Famitsu interviewed Co-Director Motomu Toriyama, Music Supervisor Keiji Kawamori, and Composer Mitsuto Suzuki about the creation of the FFVII Rebirth soundtrack and the game's reactive music. [Thanks, Famitsu!]
In the original Final Fantasy VII, the music for the overworld was an arrangement of the game's main theme with some variations depending on where in the game you were. Toriyama said that, because of it, they decided to use the main theme as the base song for the open world of FFVII Rebirth and then made different arrangements depending on the area. For example, the Grasslands feature a more orthodox version, while for Cosmo Canyon they used a western and country sound, and Corel Desert uses country rock.
Additionally, the song was also used as the battle theme for the Grasslands as "FFVII Main Theme Battle Edit." Kawamori added that he wasn't sure if the song would work that way because of its slow tempo, but that it turned out great. Another example of the reactive music system in FFVII Rebirth includes the Remnawave Towers. Toriyama revealed that as the number of towers activated increases, the music becomes richer and more lavish. The director also said that this decision was made almost last minute.
Suzuki pointed out that the music for Queen's Blood is also affected by the FFVII Rebirth reactive music system. For Chapter 5 tournament, the music in each round changes to enhance the feeling of excitement in a tournament setting. The BPM (beats per minute) also increase as the games progresses.
Furthermore, the song for Queen's Blood has a distinct jazz style to it. However, for the tournament Suzuki decided to go with a big band style to make the scale feel different between the tournament and regular matches. This is also reflected in regular matches, with the music reacting depending on if the player has the advantage, is disadvantaged, or in neutral scenarios.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is now available for the PlayStation 5. The console exclusivity arrangement will end on May 29, 2024.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Thursday, April 18, 2024 9:13 PM  Remember that knife you just broke because you died? Well, time to bring it back to action! Here is how to repair weapons and gear in No Rest for the Wicked. No Rest for the Wicked: How to repair equipment One of the main criticisms around the No Rest for the Wicked launch is the current state of weapon durability. It certainly is a controversial mechanic that many games have adopted, but in this case, players feel that durability in conjunction with the game's difficulty, makes it completely unfair. However, there are a couple of ways you will be able to repair your equipment after its durability has worn off due to the amount of inevitable deaths you will suffer. The first one involves a certain NPC called Filmore. Screenshot: PC Invasion You see, you get to meet Filmore once you travel through the Keep, kill a good amount of enemies, and get the key to the Mess Hall. Several enemies will be interrogating him and, once you defeat them, you will be able to use his se... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Thursday, April 18, 2024 6:29 PM  One thing I learned while looking through the thousands and thousands of Fallout: New Vegas mods is that the creators and players are really, really thirsty. So many NSFW mods, I need some church. However, in my search, I found a selection of what I consider to be the funniest Fallout: New Vegas mods available. Lightsabers mod How can you have an even vaguely enjoyable future without the promise of Lightsabers? The answer: You can't.

Fallout: New Vegas Randomizer mod This one makes it to the list of funni... |

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Thursday, April 18, 2024 6:19 PM  Zenless Zone Zero follows the same path as other HoYoveres games like Genshin Impact. In the sense that there are many gacha features in the game. Like the other games made by the developer, ZZZ has three currencies you have to pay attention to. They can be confusing. The first time I played, the currencies made everything overwhelming. So to make sure you don't go through my experience, this guide will explain all the currencies in Zenless Zone Zero. Zenless Zone Zero: All currencies explained If you're coming from Genshin Impact or Honkai Star Rail, this will be familiar territory. But like me, you may be a little puzzled as to what each represents. Having this many currencies should make the ZZZ unapproachable, but the aforementioned games have proven otherwise. In turn, ZZZ has become one of our most hyped games of 2024. Image: HoYoverse What does all the currency mean? So what... |
