In "Radiant Melodies – FINAL FANTASY VII," Square Enix ventures into the world of arrangement albums, reimagining the iconic music of Final Fantasy VII. The album, containing 10 tracks, skillfully combines string instruments and electric guitar, resulting in a distinctive sound that defies genre categorization.
Throughout the album, the violin maintains a consistent presence, often taking the lead. The arrangements are executed with precision, preserving the essence of the original compositions. However, there are moments, such as in "Tifa’s Theme" and "Flowers Blooming in the Church," where abrupt shifts in mood disrupt the overall flow. Despite these minor discrepancies, the album is a cohesive musical journey, with tracks like "Let the Battles Begin!" and "Fight On!" standing out for their intense arrangements. "Radiant Melodies – FINAL FANTASY VII" succeeds in offering a fresh perspective on the beloved soundtrack, paying homage to the enduring legacy of Final Fantasy VII.
The only downside is the relatively high price of €29.99/$34.99, which isn't really justified for just 10 tracks that we are getting. Yes, it's a nice and "different" album, but the price remains steep.
At the end of this post, you can also find the official performance of 'Let the Battles Begin! - Radiant Melodies ver.' to give you a sneak peek of what the album is all about.
