Sparked by the announcement of the Final Fantasy VII Remake, a group of musicians, arrangers, and remixers assembled together to create something beautiful. This massive remix album, known as MATERIA: Final Fantasy VII Remixed, is over five hours long and features a variety of genres, from metal to classical, from solo piano to synth orchestra. It is quite the collection of music, and it is nothing short of beautiful. I have been stunned by every piece I heard so far. I cried, I laughed, and I found new ways to love music from a game that is close to my heart, and close to many people’s hearts. The whole thing is available on iTunes, Loudr, and Spotify, and if you love Final Fantasy VII music, I strongly encourage you to check it out. I do not believe you will be disappointed. Check out more details below!
