Ok well, then that’s definitely not like Final Fantasy 7.
Final Fantasy games are in their own contained universe.
Clearly the potboilers on your team don’t know what they’re talking about and are just saying bullshit to drum up hype so they can make money.
Rather than burning energy on outrage, put that time into actually playing more games. You’ll get more out of them
Fuck off with that nonsense. You’re here to sell a product and take people’s hard-earned money. They shouldn’t lower their standards to satisfy your ego and make you more money.
You should work harder because I guarantee your team didn’t put as much effort into this as went into FF7.
I’m noticing music is having the same drawbacks as graphics in video games.
People keep “adding more” just because they can, not because it’s necessary or improves the final product.
Anime also has this issue with most modern animes having music playing 90% of the time because they can afford it. It reduces the integrity of the art down to that of a slapstick comedy.
I know that video game music has gotten significantly worse as technology has improved. Something can sound “professional” because it has an actual orchestra, but the the composition leaves a lot to be desired.
Jim Sterling put it best when he said the music for Stranger of Paradise was just “vague orchestral walls of noise.”
