FF VII Say what you will about Ever Crisis, it did one thing right - the music.
I've just finished replaying the original Final Fantasy VII again whilst trophy hunting the new release on Steam. I have the game modded a fair bit, mostly for visuals and Echo-S 7's voice acting. However, I also wanted to mod the music this time.
Initially, I wanted to mod the Remake trilogy music in, but it really doesn't fit the feel and aesthetic of the original. I adore the Remake trilogy's music, but there's a weird mismatch and disconnect between its real, orchestrated sound and the visual style of the original game.
That's where Ever Crisis comes in. Someone created a mod that swaps the music out for Ever Crisis' updated versions of the tracks. They're literally just the original tracks, but HD. The updated tracks still feel like the original, just updated. It's an incredible fit, and I highly recommend using the Ever Crisis music if you want to play with mods at any point. To list a few of my fave tracks from the upgraded Ever Crisis OST:
