This is an extremely difficult song to rate. Im not one who is enamored with FF7. Its a fine game. I have a good time playing it. But i dont love it the way other FF dorks do. Id rate 7 toward the middle of the series.
FF definitely has some bops but that isnt what FF7s OST excells at. Its score is great at setting tone. And to the end One Winged Angel absolutely captures the intensity of the moment and it really informs the audience how to feel in the moment and its obviously an iconic piece of music.
So despite me not loving FF7 and me actually finding Sephiroth to be honestly a very low tier villain Nobuo Uematsu's achievement here as a composer cant be slept on.
Its a 10.
