Completely remaking a game from the ground up over 20 years after the original release leads to some really fun comparisons between the two, especially when comparing the music. Final Fantasy 7 Remake's Mako Reactor theme garnered a little bit of criticism online for being so different in tone from the original piece - in this video I aim to outline why that is and why it's a good thing.

Check out this video interviewing the composers who worked on the Remake, it's pretty interesting: youtube.com/watch?v=DliMpiemUy8
