Final Fantasy VII Rebirth - Gongaga Area Overworld Theme

[@HorseheadNebula85]

Are you KIDDING me Square? How in the hell did they put this game together in 4 years? It's incredible!

[@outright4697]

Yep I don’t know how they did it but it’s incredible it’s truly a magical experience and I’m loving every second of it I’m around 90 hours in and I’m only 60% through the story this game is massive I feel like I’m on a adventure with these characters it’s amazing!! I love it ❤🥹

[@kobecleckler7431]

It’s most definitely been in development for longer than that. Developers will start developing sequels well before prequels if they know they’re going to release them

[@richvestal767]

Same here

[@outrightflame4280]

@@richvestal767nice what chapter are u on ?

[@ismaelortiz4790]

It was for 8 years. Rebirth was finished when the first released. Polishing wasn't. That's when they figured out you need next Gen to play part 2

[@tuliommedeiros]

The best part of Gongaga is that beautiful song

[@devak45167]

It’s that positive essence of Zack bottled up and put into a song

[@motionista]

Listening to this and running around Gongaga I couldn't help thinking how Zack grew up there to be such an awesome and wholesome guy. It makes me very sad but hopeful. Makes me wanna hug someone

[@inrainbows1829]

This might be the greatest video game remake of the greatest video game ever made

[@Alexriga]

I guess it is my favourite FF game. It works even better with Remake which I aprreciate more. It paved road for this masterpiece. SQUARESOFT spirit is back in this game! All heil creaters! Respect you!!!!

[@AndyPlaysGames]

This is such a banger. I'm risking getting into a potential spoiler algorithm to hear this right now

[@eojj14]

The game's music has been incredible the entire journey but this Gongaga overworld theme is absolute perfection. It hits me right in the feels, hard.

[@user-ki8tt6ny9m]

Just like a ost of a possible crossover between Brave and The Lion King would be. Amazing. I never even imagine that crossing two different kinds of folk melodies like these would be this beautiful. Hats off to the composer.

[@ryanmas9204]

My headcanon is that the vocals in this track is the Lifestream singing along

[@kiblade2613]

Don't know what this makes me feel...it's there but I feel like I can't find the memory..so damn beautiful

[@solidsnake9088]

Even though I've listened THOUSANDS of video game musics in my life, THIS. This was special. It's so great.

[@RedWolf777SG]

It's too bad we don't get the see Rocket Town in this game (since they're saving that town for Part III) and instand the devs focused on Gongaga. Which I must said is truly worth it. they've put so much depth to this region. There's so much beauty to be hold here and the serene vibe it gives off. The Gongaga Region theme is just the icing on top it really fits Zack Fair overall personality. You can just imagine how he grew up, playing and training in this jungle. 😊😊

[@aonutsihasnouith]

This instantly jumped to the top tier of best final fantasy tracks ever. How come it’s so good?

[@tanders4444]

The soundtrack keeps outdoing itself in every new area. Seriously the best in any game I’ve ever played.

[@bryand8879]

This was the highlight of the game to me

[@richvestal767]

This music carries with it all of the weight of emotion of being called and welcomed home after being stranded far away.
They absolutely snacked a grand slam with this theme.

[@thanosfilms]

Most definitely. Feels like they smacked a grand slam in game 7 of the World Series to win it all

[@Jammineyeonline]

I get teary-eyed just thinking about the memories Zack had here. And not to mention that meeting with his parents? How can you not get emotional? With this music on top of that?

[@KakyouKuzuki2001]

Gongaga was in the OG game only 3-4 screens and purely optional... talking about the amount of investment for an OPTIONAL region

[@darkbornelines4587]

I need a 10hour version of this track

[@Jammineyeonline]

If this game dont win game of the year, i would have lost all faith in humanity!

[@henrymontes3626]

When you hear the lady singing it reminds of ENYA's style of music

[@stevej4328]

Gives me African and Scottish vibes. Beautiful stuff.

[@basskick10]

Well you got Cait Sith, about as Scottish a vibe as you can get.

[@burtwonk]

The African/Latin percussion is just dreamy.

[@urmailman]

This song hit me like seeing Braveheart for the first time in 1995. This game hits me like playing FF7 for the first time in 1997. The words im feeling cannot be described. This is the greatest video game ever made. Upon entering Gongaga i sat my controller down on my lap and happy tears began to roll down my face; brought on from the promise made to me, and all of us, that squareenix made almost a decade ago. They actually did it. They made the masterpiece of masterpieces. We are here, and it is beautiful. See yall in the lifestream 💚

[@outright4697]

Yep it’s incredible after sinking 90 hours into this game and only 60% through the story this game is a masterpiece I love it 🥹 and ur not alone I did the same thing just sat my controller down and was just in tears 😭 because I remember the gonga region from the original was only 2 screens it’s incredible what square has made I can only imagine what part 3 of this trilogy remake is going to be

[@ChronosGriever]

Thank you for your words. I was moved by them as I was by the game

[@jamesdiato]

Imagine, if they did a 1 to 1 remake, we wouldnt have gotten this beautiful theme… pure magic

[@theunownknight]

finally someone uploads the base version from when you first get to gongaga, every other upload is the full version with the chanting and all the extra stuff, thank you for uploading this version

[@ThrashRacing]

I prefer the base version of southern Corel Desert as well but can’t find it!

[@frankiediaz3848]

I can’t stop listing to this song. Makes me feel so good. Transports me straight to Gongaga.

[@brandohernandez9991]

I agree it does take you to a place welcoming home remembrances, recollection from the past and celebrating.

[@Big_Traffic_Cone]

Reminds me of space lion in cowboy bebop. Well done Uematsu

[@The56567878]

The composers for rebirth are hamauzu and Suzuki. Uematsu only did promises to keep

[@stobak]

thanks for taking the time to capture and share this! Can't wait for the OST to drop

[@kevninetytwo2348]

Pre orders are up on SE site. It drops next month.

[@hakunamatata7772]

this is music version 1 from gongaga region ,if you complete the towers in the gognaga region then start the second music version

[@ZachKateAda]

This theme and Cosmo Canyons are the best! 🤟🏻

[@kagekaiser9270]

I'm more of a Mt.Corel guy.

[@Infinistial]

Those are my favorites too

[@DarkSoulzNL]

Mt corel was sick aswell

[@Kumire_921]

Cosmo Canyon is just a chocobo theme remix

[@Neptune_171]

@@Kumire_921 thats only if you are riding a chocobo...

[@patrickhoefnagel]

This thing is a freaking masterpiece! Loop ❤

[@norrisdalia7601]

I thought the Corel desert song was cool, today I finally reached gongaga, and man, this song hits me in the soul

[@arbeione]

This theme is amazing. My favourite so far in remake. Currently going through the Gongaga region

[@Henri84]

É como ficar olhando para uma paisagem linda ouvindo essa música ! Incrível como a trilha toda desse jogo é perfeita ! Se isso não ganhar como melhor jogo ou no mínimo melhor trilha, algo está errado nas avaliações das pessoas! Nobu foi perfeito!

[@AaronMT]

Thanks for sharing. Love this theme.

[@franklinlewisii9719]

Best overworld theme love the soothing melody and the vocals. 🙌

[@Luke9er9er]

Love the theme when it sounds like this and before all the upbeat drums and everything kick in later on in the region

[@Jammineyeonline]

I dare say i love this game More than the original. Not to mention og ff7 is my Goat! The og only has it beat because its a complete game!

[@brandohernandez9991]

Thank you for extending it 16 mins I loving it

[@ayachinadir4408]

I love this theme and the junon exploration theme ❤❤

[@simackenzie4555]

This reminds me so much of my mom that it’s hard to get past this area. I cry whenever the pipes play. This is main scene emotional music not ambient background

[@Mattiechuu]

I can relate. This area is hardcore reminding me of my dad, who sadly passed away in 2022. We played REMAKE together, and he was looking forward to Rebirth.

[@TheGamersVice]

Something about this song inspires nostalgia in myself as well. My father was never a Final Fantasy fan, or much of a gamer at all. He passed last year, and something about this song just makes me think of him, and while it was playing I got the overwhelming feeling that he was about to walk into the room.

[@yakumo135]

I couldn’t stop thinking of Zack, the place in which he was born yet his parents are still waiting for him. It’s peaceful yet sad at the same tim

[@AndyPlaysGames]

It's like a mix of Beaveheart and The Lion King..... somehow.

[@richvestal767]

That's a perfect description. 👍

[@matthewsullivan2528]

I can't for the life of me think of what instrument carries the melody here. The closest I can think of is Uilleann pipes

[@roseredflechette-vidya]

definitely Uilleann pipes no doubt (for anyone that doesn't know these are Irish variations of bagpipes).

[@richvestal767]

​@@roseredflechette-vidya
Thanks for that confirmation. I kept going back to bagpipes but the instrument doesn't carry that underlying hum like traditional bagpipes have so I knew that it had to be something different but I couldn't name it.

[@SpawnF]

It's like zack saying to cloud he's proud of him

[@Laenthor]

Getting strong Sonic adventure 1 mystic ruins vibes from this. I know it's probably the same cultural influence but still.

[@TheIceLurker]

I’ve never played a game that just consistently outdid itself time and time again. You would think you’d get used to the huge detailed areas 100 hours in, but the game just keeps giving! I can’t imagine what part 3 will be like

[@KakyouKuzuki2001]

hopefully the size of this + wutai, northern region, midel, the other small islands that are only for materia caves AND the whole world underwater... if done right.... and I am hopeful... then 1,5 times the size.... and I can wait for 4-5 years.. the given love can be felt... :)

[@burtwonk]

Gorgeous. It reminds me of the song “space lion” from Cowboy Bebop.

[@Christina-lh1mp]

Yeessss! I was trying to figure out what it sounded similar to and I agree!

[@ismaelortiz4790]

I wanna finish the game too avoid spoilers but I'm enjoying it too much, especially the ost😢😂

[@NoExplosionsMcgee]

What a way to introduce the Gongaga open area. Wow! Lol

[@jrkanaan]

This song made me excited cause I knew we were gonna see cissnei

[@Onewinged6]

I want to live in gongaga now lol

[@Maximusbyronus]

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is incredible...and word on the street is that this game is bombing hard in sales. Why??!!! My faith in gamers has been crushed...

[@shawnzinator]

Missing the best part when the female choir comes in, somebody uploaded this before completing the regions intel lol

[@kirbeeez6131]

What’s the song that’s kinda this but with the WOWOWOWOWIWW chanting idk how to describe it lol

[@kirbeeez6131]

There’s lots of other lyrics too

[@GalekC]

enya-ba from jojo's playing the bagpipes & the kids chanting her name

[@densetsutteaa]

良い

[@steelbreado]

What is the song called which is pretty much the same but they are chanting "come around come around" or something similar ?

[@dominikfehr3695]

Deep Forest: Sweet Lullaby

[@Marsh9090]

My favorite region song, but I hate traversing Gongaga

[@olimphus26]

Hmmm, you probably didn’t do the towers because there’s another part of the song that starts playing.

[@kagekaiser9270]

Me?

[@sheridanmovieguy]

Gongaga!

[@motionista]

Gongaga

[@Kumire_921]

First time i enjoyed exploring a region in the game, forgot how repetitve the game was and just immersed myself in it.

[@sephernoose]

Repetitive? LOL. Its the least repetitive game ever made.

[@Kumire_921]

@@sephernoose every region is literally filled with copy pasted shit lol

[@johnvitero9309]

Is there an actual name for this theme maybe the artist?

[@ColonelDolphin]

Won't know until the soundtrack releases, I think.

[@agamersinsanity]

Mitsuto Suzuki, Masashi Hamauzu and Nobuo Uematsu were the composers for this game.
You can also check the end credits if you are not sure. ^^

[@DSPRATIO]

for sure the voices in this song are from a sample I heared many years ago, I need to find out where but surely not in a videogame / FF

[@roseredflechette-vidya]

Does anyone know why it changes later and gets busier? I love this version and really don't like what it changes into :(
Sometimes less is more, SE.

[@facelesshalo5174]

each region gets different/more instrumentation the more you complete the zone. I personally prefer the More upbeat version.

[@motionista]

​@@facelesshalo5174 wow, I completed two regions but never noticed that.

[@shawnzinator]

Seriously? I thought it gets better when the female choir comes in

[@user-le6to4tw6i]

I actually came here because this song annoyed me so much, glad to see no one shares my opinion lol.

[@cloudxz92]

I don't like the Gongaga Region. How the Map is build.
But the Soundtrack is another banger.

[@agamersinsanity]

you will learn how it works. ^^

[@sarthebazaar1898]

This is literally the WORST zone in the entire game, and of course it has my #3 favorite track of all time...

[@PetarBladeStrok]

It's easily my favorite zone. Traveling through those ancient ruins in Gongaga made me feel special kind of way. A true adventure.

[@xyannail4678]

​@@PetarBladeStrokCosmo Canyon, Junon or the first grasslands area are better. Nibelheim too.

[@trollingday7124]

Cool listen this song in Zack´s natal town

[@domanatepredator1577]

I can easily get lost in this song. It’s just so tranquil and I’ll just stop playing to listen to the song.

[@RalseiSmoocher]

idk why but when i first heard of gongaga i thought it was gonna be a snowy area lol
