Way back in 2021, I was taking care of my Mom during what we'll simply refer to as "a very stressful time" and leave it at that. During this period, the only computer I had access to was a 12 year old Dell business laptop (a Latitude E6410), so, in order to preserve my own sanity, I started a new Youtube channel for the MIDIs I like to play around with, and queued up two full years of Monday/Wednesday/Friday posts in advance. (I considered it an experiment in whether or not regular uploads gained you better placement in Youtube's algorithm)
Hitting the Final Fantasy VII PC MIDIs I reworked/remastered means we're actually nearing the end of the queue. They just started posting today, starting here, at the beginning of the album, with FF7's rendition of the iconic Final Fantasy prelude.
And today, on that same day, Square-Enix put up the store page for Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis, intended to be a more direct remake of the PS1 version of Final Fantasy VII, in order to hopefully help contextualize the big-budget remake they released on the PS4 (and soon to be PS5). And it, too, is chock full of remasters of classic Final Fantasy VII songs.
And the confluence of me picking this date at random 21 months ago and the fact Square-Enix dropped a huge mobile game on the same day is kind of weird to me. The world moves in such strange ways, sometimes.
