CHOOSE WISELY

remastered

The original has so much emotional struggle in it - I can feel Roxas's sadness, his innocence, his hatred, his desperation and an eventual fade out into oblivion #punnotintended
I feel the remaster on the other hand, while sounding nice, doesn't have as much emotional value because they forced way too many instruments and effects into it, and the hard piano notes from the original are minimal here! It sounds soothing and smooth, kinda fitting some "Dramatic Sad Goodbye" theme (which is partly the point of the scene, but still).
Ironically, Nomura said he wanted this version to sound "even more like a battle music", while it's the opposite to me. (maybe he meant that it was supposed to be more continuous...? I dunno)
The Other Promise is my favourite KH OST and one of my all time favourite songs - if you are wondering why I spent my time on making topic about such a "minor" thing.
