I remember my mother wondering what the hell kind of game I was playing when the gloomy disc 3 music was playing. Especially when wondering the world map.
@@qiyune7943 I think in my eyes is just a silly sounding kooky song ^^. Imagine walking into a room not knowing much about video games and hearing this blaring from the TV :)
I prefer this version as it captures the seedy atmosphere of Wall Market. In the Remake the music made it feel more like a carnival than anything else.
I still remember being 14 years old on Christmas of ‘97 and playing this for the first time. Here I am turning 40 this year around that same time yet it still seems like yesterday.
I adore the basslines in these areas. ESPECIALLY the delay effect on the bass at the end of the loop. So good. That's why remake largely just remasters the music of this game: it's FLAWLESS already!!
That's what always happens when someone decides to do a remake of something. I have noticed the same thing with "DuckTales" - always that new version everywhere.
"Hey Cloud? What if you go in dressed as a girl?" THAT line, and the resulting fetch quest, in which Aerith is having way too much fun with this, is why she's a great character. No little miss perfectly pure princess here thank you very much. No matter what other VII related media tells you.
@@CloudXDP Cloud didn't have a choice but to dress as a girl at this point of the game - and to be honest, he would have been a kinda horrible friend if he just went like "nope, ain't doing that" and left Tifa to the Don Corneo thugs.
Ah well in the Remake Square Enix literally forces you to hate that Song as the made it play in the section were you have those Robot Arms to Control wich was nerf wracking to me
They composers perfectly captured that laid back but also ominous feeling of the area. Like, yeah, it‘s a giant market area but also really shady around every corner
this song gives off the vibes of a downtown city in your area but without all the fun or going there for the sole purpose of meeting your friends. it gives off the vibes of walking through the downtown city by yourself just to pick up some food from a restaurant. as you walk around and observe the atmosphere you notice police talking to homeless people who either threw their whole life away or have simply lost everything. the police however confront said homeless people for the sole purpose of telling them they cant sleep here or some other law. you notice people just like you who aren't out with friends and are just out in downtown to walk around. i have never played through final fantasy so i would not know what the context of this song is but i just imagine some sort of lifeless town full of very sketchy people. to me that is the beauty of this track.
You're not far off, Wall Market has some very shady businesses, a motel, a gym full of cross-dressers, and a brothel. And instead of police hassling homeless people, the place is run by a fat degenerate who's the local crime boss. Everything in Sector 7 is run down, hopeless, corrupt, and every-man-for-himself, where you can't even see the sky because of the upper levels blocking the sun and pollution is "not my problem". And literally everyone packs a machine gun, grenades, etc. because crime and monsters are a serious issue that the Shinra cops/soldiers barely bother to deal with.
@@beenibroh If you perceived this song that way then I recommend playing through because the whole game has music that fits this way. I played the game when I was a kid and I'm still addicted to the soundtrack
I can safely say as someone who has only just played the original ff7 recently and listened to the remake's version of this song this one is miles better no nostalgia factor here
This song is really suit with semi-comedic theme in ff7 original. No wonder they had to change it in the remake. Cause it has more steampunk-realistic touch.
33 YO back here to celebrate favourite piece of music from the good ol' days. That bass line sets up the rest of the piece 👌 vibe, thoroughly encapsulated
I remember being 99 a year into ocarina of a time & the awesomeness it was, well one weekend my upstairs neighbor left town and loaned me his ps1 and all his games.. It was saturday night and I popped this bad boy into the console the rest was history
firelion23 The new one fits the new wall market and the old one fits the old wall market. The new one looks more like an entertainment Hub while the old one looks like gangsters’ gathering place. Both themes fit each wall market perfectly.
Working over night stocking shelves never has sounded so good especially coming back from playing FF7 on my psone screen everyone at work is like bro you are a real gamer
Like the remake version and it's different variations. The og version is still epic too. Finished ff7 on my psp in the 11th grade back in 2009. Simpler times back then.
I couldn't play the Remake because they changed Wall Market so much, they didn't just update Wall Market they completely destroyed it and tried to turn it into the Gold Saucer. Wall Market and this song are some of my strongest memories from the original, after seeing what they turned it into I know I would have been deeply disappointed if I played Remake.
The Falling in Reverse song 'Pick Up The Phone' always reminds me of the baseline/this song, it's why I am here to hear it again. If This and the Turk's Theme had a baby, you'd get the FiR tune almost exactly. lol. I need help, I know!
The 1997 Wall Market was more Bazaar-slum like, it was really cramped. The 2020 Wall Market was way more Las Vegas-Festive, bright colors, many roads and alleys leading to new discoveries. They are both Wall Market, but still they are not the same. Each song compliments the Wall Market of their own game. Yet both are excellent landmarks in the Final Fantasy VII experience.
ThePerfectName I definitely agree with you and nothing touches this original theme of FF7 but to give credit where credit is to the remake it did bunch in a lot of different themes in this area
The remake’s wall market theme haunts my dreams I’d much rather listen to this But every time I hear this, I’m reminded of the remake’s version Then I remember the first time through the collapsed expressway I had more fun playing through Atlantis in KH1 and KH2
In the remake I had to turn the music setting all the way down and play this on my phone as I walked around Wall Market. Not sure what they were thinking getting rid of this track for whatever you call the new track they have that sounds more like it belongs in Mario Kart.
They didn't get rid of it. Its now the collapsed expressway music and it even got a second version as a battle theme. Don't know what you're complaining about. I do think that the new wall market music fits just fine for that casino/nightlife vibe. I agree with the decision to change it since its still in the game on your way to wall market.
@@EliteInterpunct I do not at all recall hearing this in the collapsed expressway. The slums music from the original "Under the Rotting Pizza" was in the collapsed expressway. There is that battle version of part of this track, yes, but that is all from what I can recall.
Fluffy Bunny This theme doesn’t fit the new wall market. The new wall market is a entertainment hub while the old one felt like a gangster’s home. This theme fits the original and the new jazzy theme fits the new one. Also they didn’t get rid of the old theme, they played it in one cutscene when you first encounter beck and his crew and there’s a remix of it after you battle beck and his crew until you reach evergreen park.
@@sharpshooterxigbar5713 okay, thanks for the input. I'll check out that cutscene again. I may not have noticed the theme. I get the point of the new theme better matching the new environment I guess. The only problem is I'm old, and I don't like change. Lol
Fluffy Bunny Hahaha. I’m definitely younger than you, I played FF7 recently, when it released on the switch so I can get familiar with the story of FF7 because I wanted to play the remake as soon as I saw it. I love the changes they did and I know how you feel about not wanting change in a remake. My first game was Pokémon diamond on the DS and it’s appearently getting remade soon, and I want it to be perfect.
I have the habits of tossing a coin in my hands repetidly with my hood on. Some friends asked me if I sell any drugs and each time they ask I think of this theme
Man I should have known not to read the comments on an old vg st that had a remake. It just annoys me more than anything. Why can't we just enjoy both? I think the Wall Market st in the Remake was quite spectacular and lived up to the rampant, chaotic energy that surged throughout the Entertainment District with Don Corneo's influence looming in the shadows. Yet, I still love this one, as well. It definitely does capture a much more openly seedy vibe. I feel as if I cannot directly compare the two because they're both going for entirely different concepts due to the way the environments and the games both turned out. They're still both Wall Market, but different conceptualizations of the same place. This theme is a dirty back alley that no one has any business going in. The Remake theme is the Vegas of the Slums. I can buy into slumdwellers going to the Remake's Wall Market to blow off some steam or have some fun. This one? With the atmosphere, I'm having trouble understanding why everyone doesn't clear out immediately for fear of a rib in the knives. Both different takes which have their own pros and cons. And then there are people who say things like they shouldn't have remade the song in the first place, and with an attitude like that, it makes me question if they even know what goes into remaking a game, especially one of this scale. If you're going to go as far to suggest you simply take the old soundtracks and plop them into the new product, I have no clue what to tell you except to stop playing the Remake and go back to your PS1. That's not how any of this works. You are entitled to your opinion that one thing is better than another. I definitely have major complaints with the Remake as someone who was invited to Final Fantasy as a whole from FF7R. But I think this dismissal or outright rejection of the Remake's parts in this way is frankly insulting not to just to the developers, but to yourselves for not allowing this rebirth of old storytelling to grow and evolve.
Man, the original FF7 (I've never played the remake) has such a great soundtrack, especially considering the limited technology back then. Just goes to show that a lot of today's big-budget games can't buy good taste.
Limited technology? Maybe that applies for FF1-6, but the PS1 allowed studio recorded music since it used CDs unlike previous consoles, which compressed the music into bits on cartridges. So the music of FF7 even on PS1 is stuff they played in the studio recorded straight onto a CD, much like a music album would've done it.

theres literally only ff7 and ff7r, maybe advent children for a few songs, it aint that hard
Solution: Just type in "FF7 PS1" or "FF7 Original"
"Hey Cloud? What if you go in dressed as a girl?" THAT line, and the resulting fetch quest, in which Aerith is having way too much fun with this, is why she's a great character. No little miss perfectly pure princess here thank you very much. No matter what other VII related media tells you.
Phoenix Wright The same could be said for Cloud. Do you really thing Mr. Emo McBrooding shown in all other VII media would ever agree with that?
