Hear Final Fantasy VII Remake’s ‘Aerith’s Theme – Memories’ Song Again

Square Enix shared a new video going over a version of the “Aerith’s Theme” song from Final Fantasy VII Remake. This time it’s a piano arrangement called “Aerith’s Theme – Memories.” It is designed to evoke a specific sort of emotion between Aerith’s mother Elmyra Gainsborough and her.

Here’s the full video going over this version of Aerith’s theme song in Final Fantasy VII Remake. It pulls footage from when we actually hear the song in the game, which is when Cloud meets Elmyra for the first time. The idea is to convey a motherly tone and how she feels about her daughter Aerith. It then flashes forward to a later point in the game, when Elmyra was talking about Aerith with Cloud, Tifa, and Barret.

【BGM】「エアリスのテーマ-回想-」
今日は、 #ピアノの日 🎹ということで、ピアノを使用した楽曲をご紹介！🎼
本楽曲は、エルミナの愛情をエアリスのテーマのみを使って表現しようという考えからアレンジされた一曲です。
エルミナの気持ちが感じられるやさしい音色をお聴きください。🎶#FF7R pic.twitter.com/tWTRdxSjOc
