Once again, Sean Schafianski has delivered a winner. In his remasterings of Final Fantasy VII's music, he displays a good sense of when to issue subtle enhancements and when to add more dramatic overtures. 

Orchestral rearrangements are by far my favorite reinterpretation of video game music. They render a depth in melodic variation that enhances the tunes by leaps and bounds. Naturally, I had high hopes for Sean Schafianski's remastering of Final Fantasy VI. One more soundtrack to the ever growing list of Final Fantasy music remakes, but do the songs surpass the originals?

Regardless of my stylistic nitpicking in a couple of the songs, this soundtrack is a winner. Can you really go wrong with expertly remastered versions of Final Fantasy VII's music? Even better is that this soundtrack, while having a few familiar pieces, chooses to highlight the more underrated/overlooked pieces of the game that are quite good once given a little attention.
