I hope they won't mess with the music too much, just having modern versions of all the tracks could be pretty amazing if done well.

At this point if it's anything less than a full live orchestra, I'll be disappointed.

I know this is kinda a weird thing to wish for, but I hope Cloud's ultimate weapon in the remake is an "upgraded" buster sword. It has so much emotional weight (unintentional pun) behind it, being pretty much the strongest link between Cloud and Zack that it being the default, pitiful replace-as-soon-as-you-get-something-better-and-never-look-back weapon always seemed wrong on a few levels.

I joked with a friend that Remake won't allow you to change weapons so the Buster Sword will always be the best sword ever. I get where you're coming from though, it'd be neat to have like a sidequest tied to powering it up (Nibleheim flashback seems like the perfect spot). If memory serves you can't ever actually get rid of the Buster Sword at least, despite not needing it anymore from a gameplay perspective.

As long as I get to run around with the Hardedge, however briefly, I'll be happy. Also I hope that Cait Sith's VA gives unique vocal commands to the moogle for every battle action. That alone would make the game for me.

I really like VII's soundtrack but the Gold Saucer theme wears out its welcome pretty quickly even in the original so that sounds about right.

This'll be the new version of the gold saucer theme.

It will show an extreme close-up of his face in slow motion as it reacts from being smashed by the truck, then a "thump" noise at normal speed. *zoom back to the party*

In the FFV boss dungeon added in Dawn of Souls along with Atomos, Shinryu and Omega.

If anything, the one on that list I'd say doesn't count is IX, since there it's just a dude with the same name and not the actual Gilgamesh.

The true Gilgamesh is mentioned in FFIX but never shows up. Excalibur II has an inscription from Enkidu telling Gil that he passed up that sword for the one he really wanted, the legendary Excalipoor. Gilgamesh must have been so pleased.

I dunno, the 4-armed man does teleport to a different realm after revealing his name is Gilgamesh. He's shown before he's able to alter his shape and number of arms. I have no reason to think that's not him.

Also assuming they do it well, I'm all for the remake if it gives me modern versions of Judgement Day and Cid's Theme.

imo, Judgement Day is actually one of the best-sounding things in the original soundtrack. Sometimes tracks sound great despite being old VGM and limited by the hardware, but sometimes they just sound perfect on the hardware they're on and actually lose a bit of character when done up for an orchestra or something. Judgement Day is like that for me, so I really hope they're careful with it. :ohdear:

I've heard that same complaint concerning the Kingdom Hearts HD versions and I agree, for some reason the inner sound processors of PS1 and PS2 systems have quite a bit of clout to them, especially concerning the bass.

Example, the original boss theme in Kingdom Hearts, that is Shrouding Dark Cloud had this really sweet bass drumline to it that was really powerful with the PS2 sound processor. When it got turned into actual orchestra on the HD version, that drumline was not as bass as it used to be and, in my opinion, detracted from the force of the song though the trumpets and flutes were still pretty sweet-rear end in the remade version.

So I agree that you need to be careful when redoing songs because it's not just a matter of simply repeating the same sheet, you have to compensate concerning new technology for it.
