I feel bad for jumping the gun, because the picture of the liner notes suggests exactly what I hoped for. A lot of folks seem to go with whatever Gracenote (and by extension, iTunes) churns out as official; all of that is user submitted.

It's unfortunate that the Gracenote stuff is poorly done, because a lot of people will either ignore what's in the booklet, or they will buy the digital copy only and won't be aware of the proper credits. We'll just have to deal with thousands of people crediting Uematsu-san for everything. Not that he shouldn't get high praise for composing all of the pieces from the original game, but so much effort was put into these new arrangements, and the brand new pieces written solely for the Remake, by so many people, that they really do deserve to be known.

Absolutely agree! I feel the similarly whenever a new FFXIV soundtrack releases and inevitably everything gets attributed by the fanbase to Masayoshi Soken (real second-hand embarrassment for everyone who attributed the Tactics, Vagrant Story and Tactics Ogre originals as his...)
I think it's hard for casual consumers to differentiate a composer from an arranger outside of the context of popular music, where its less about an arranger/composer versus a performing artist, who may or may not be the composer(s). |

I'm sure it feels semantic to some folks. Either way, I'm thrilled to be wrong about the content of the liner notes and I'm really excited my copies just shipped. It feels like a long time since a Square soundtrack release has properly felt like an event.

I'm curious about the other credits ... glad the OST is out finally! |

I’ll post the composer/arranger credits soon. If anyone else is already in the process, post here and let me know so two of us aren’t doing the same thing.

Shotaro Shima is already the unsung hero of this soundtrack for me.

I've finished the composer and arranger credits for all seven discs (and the eighth disc over on the special edition entry)!
I'll add lyricist credits and track lengths a bit later. I need to go eat dinner |

Thank you very much for adding the credits, Chris Porter! I think Square Enix did an excellent job with these. I was afraid we won't get any track-track-track credits, but I think they know how important this soundtrack is for the fans.
Shotaro Shima is definitely my favorite arranger, indeed the unsung hero. And Nishiki also composed the stellar "Stewards of the Planet", one of my favorite cinematic pieces from the soundtrack! Now that's a surprise |

THANK YOU Chris!
But now I'm even more confused... Quote:

And is there mark which are new compositions for the game apart from the new arrangements of the originals? If I am reading the track by track credit correctly, Shotaro Shima did almost the entire first disc's new arrangement compositions if that's how to word it not sure.

Choir - The Philharmonic Choir of Tokyo (within which there are 36 singers, which are all listed) Vocals for "Hollow" Vocalist: Yosh (Survive Said the Planet) Vocals for the Jukebox songs recording section: Tsukasa Mogamigawa by the courtesy of UNIVERSAL MUSIC LLC non Keisuke Albert Kato KAORI (Language) As for which tracks are new to the Remake: anything that doesn't have Nobuo Uematsu credited as "composer" is a brand new composition. If Nobuo Uematsu is credited as composer along with one or two other composers, it means that themes he wrote are part of the track, but there are also new passages that the other composer created that aren't in the original FFVII. So the first disc is almost entirely arrangements of tracks originally composed by Nobuo Uematsu. And yes, Shotaro Shima arranged nearly all of them on the first disc. In contrast, Disc 5 is almost entirely new compositions that aren't based on original tracks by Uematsu. Masashi Hamauzu has the bulk of the brand new tracks on this disc, though there are a few notable exceptions. |

Thanks for the information. My thinking seems to be slow due to being a bit tired not seeing the obvious how to tell what are new from Nobuo's originals sooner.

Well, I guess we could look up other songs the vocalists listed above have done and see if we can match their voice with the vocal songs on the Jukebox disc. |

There's a quote from Kawamori in the booklet and he's credited as "Music Supervisor". It sounds like he was largely in charge of the music system and how it works within the game (dynamically changing, etc.). The interview is misleading though, because I thought that it sounded like he had done a bunch of arrangements himself too.

I'm puzzled by 'High Five'. It sounds so much Mitsuto Suzuki (it even is a battle track corresponding to his field track) yet it says it was composed by Uematsu and arranged by Naoyuki Honzawa? Strange.

By the way, there's a few missing songs from the soundtrack such as the battle version of Under the Rotting Pizza and the Avalanche theme reprise that first plays in Chapter 15 from what I've heard. Aside from that, I'm really happy there's full track by track credits though they do overattribute Uematsu's presence as expected. They really should've just put "Original FFVII Music: Nobuo Uematsu" and not bother putting his name in tracks that he's "composed" for (only the original melody) since it's been clearly heavily arranged/probably even party composed by the credited arranger. But beggars can't be choosers haha. |

Regarding the missing tracks, don't forget that wonderful Aerith's Theme variant that was previously labelled as Daughter's Farewell. Really want to know who did that one. |

I thought I was going crazy! Honzawa arranging it sounds right, but I'm not hearing an Uematsu composition in there. I'm sure it's a misprint, but I hope we get confirmation Suzuki (or otherwise) wrote it if that's the case.

Anyway, there's also an Avalanche theme version from Chapter 13 missing as well as a track at the beginning of Wall Market when Tifa passes by with the Chocobo. And for the love of god, why is the first phase of Kobayashi's awesome track missing? |

I don't understand this either. Was *sure* it was M. Suzuki's work! Does anyone know a Uematsu song with High Five's themes that I'm not thinking of?
|
#87
|

|

The only thing I can think of is the VERY small reference to the normal battle theme towards the tail end of the track (~3:10 into it - perhaps its layered in there other places)

Interestingly, 'Tightrope' has live performed brass while that isn't the case with the in-game version. Maybe Shima realised he wrote a big hit and decided to clean it up before the soundtrack release?
Wish that some other composers had put as much care in their tracks as he did. Absolutely top-class work, in both his arrangements and original compositions. He manages to combine both the 'cinematic' sound of Y. Suzuki with classy orchestrations and live performances *and* in some tracks managed to put in some of the original FFVII synths. What a guy. |

Shima really shined in this album. I believe he should of also been in the main credit advertisement alongside Hamauzu and Suzuki.
