Shady Cicada | Let the Battles Begin! (Metal Cover) - Final Fantasy VII Remake || Shady Cicada @Shadycicada | Uploaded April 2020 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
After two decades, it's finally time to Let the Battles Begin again. I'll admit, I only recently got into Final Fantasy VII. I played Crsis Core maybe 4 times in the past (I really liked it) but I never tried the game it was a spin-off of. Thanks to the Nintendo Switch, I finally got to sit down with it and wow. I'm so glad I gave it a chance. The story, characters, and atmosphere were all amazing. And this is on OLD technology. I had a ton of issues putting the controller down. Of course, the soundtrack is amazing and iconic in it's own right. I've been very familiar with the soundtrack for years, but actually playing the game helped me understand each track better, which is why this cover of Let the Battles Begin is actually a second attempt. I covered this song over four years ago and I thought I'd see how much I could change it up. So here it is! A metal cover of "Let the Battles Begin" from Final Fantasy VII! I hope you enjoy! And if you'll excuse me...I have a copy of Final Fantasy VII Remake waiting to be played
