- Finally covered this magnificent theme! For the longest time, I didn't want to touch it because it felt a bit overwhelming, and there are already so many versions of it out there. Ended up having a great time working through it though!
As I use the original recording of the choirs, I can't license it for distribution elsewhere, but if the track is successful here, I might be able to afford to hire some proper vocalists for a 2.0 version :)
Regardless, hope you enjoy it!

Dude, this ReOrchestration is literally my favorite variation of One winged Angel (Excluding the original Ps1 version). Good job and continue your amazing work.
This would have been the remakes version had not certain events occurred.
If I were to post this on CZcams as a SSBU Sephiroth Compilation, would I get copyrighted?
Do you think you could upload it to Bandcamp or Patreon? Considering most of these sites don't allow for MP3 downloads anymore.
This needs to be in smash ultimate.
This dude pulled off the sickest trickshot in human history. Summoned an asteroid from outside the galaxy and managed to get Pluto, (almost) Saturn, and Jupiter all in a line to hit them all and then right into the sun, causing it to go supernova, destroying Mercury and Venus and searing the surface of Earth, all in 2 minutes.
Also the last one in human history.
The power of mathemagics
I thought I was fuckin’ dreaming lmaooo
So summons are magic and only affect those it is casted on as noted in the game, hence Sephiroth casting Meteor on Earth and not the party. "Summon Magic strong enough to destroy the planet," (Temple of the Ancients). Sephiroth wanted to show his power, but the attack only affects the fighting party not all those planets.
I guess Mars is invincible
a fun fact about this fight. when Cloud is level 70 or higher sephiroths attack speed is doubled.
Gerald Kern if the party is all at level 99 he gets super powered.
And if you use Knights of the Round against Jenova beforehand or just utterly curbstomp her, he gets a massive HP boost.
That explains a lot
level 60 gang where you at

Imagine how they're gonna do the battlefield for this fight, gonna be surreal af
I imagine itll be like what KH3 did for it's final boss
@@2Tall_Powerlifting I hope it isn't like that but we'll see, meteor gonna go hard in modern graphics lol
It's probably going to be like the final arena in Xenoblade Chronicles
Too bad we won’t be that for a few games in
Probably lots of aerodynamic parkour or sumthin like that

Imagine the pressure of recreating one of the most epic moments in all of gaming for the remake
Sephiroth shows up a bit too much in Part 1, I'm hoping he gets a cameo at most in part 2, so the build up to this fight feels more surreal.
@@grandimations7309 agreed.
@@grandimations7309 impossible. Since he plays quite an important role in the following part of the story and emerges often even in the original game. I don't mind personally- love the guy to death! XD
Kamui Ryou ok, encounters at most, I'd take, but I don't want there to be a Sephiroth fight in every 7Remake part.
@@grandimations7309 that probably wont happen on part 2. They could end it with meteorų being summpned as a cliffhanger. One of the weapons could easily be the final boss
Is it me or does it look like Sephy's flipping everyone off here?
He is the one winged angel, he can do what he pleases lol.
mans goin "Fuck y'all Earth boutta get it's fade run"
Perhaps...it's a reference to a certain fetus in a mechanical jar?
Wouldn't put it past him
And doing it specifically to Barret.
I'll never forget as a kid, the first time I came across this boss, my party was severely under levelled and I had a bad materia setup, I was fighting Bizarro Sephiroth for absolutely ages, like a good 45 minutes. I finally defeated him and threw my controller down in celebration, but then....this music started and this guy appears. Naturally, I got my ass kicked and I don't think I've ever been so devastated 😂. Just how I managed to even get to the end of the game with my party was a miracle! Nice job with this song btw!
Hahah yeah same here pretty much :P when you first play this game ,your always underleveled.
@@Xallisto1 It was my first ever game on the PS1, I was 7 years old, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, just fumbled my way through the game somehow 😂
After a supernova, my cid down, cloud in critical and Yuffie confused. Then Yuffle attacked with a lv 1 Limit Break I set for her in previous turn and thay killed Seph .... Truly epic
I remember being in that situation also when I was like 8 or 9. i hate getting older, games are too easy now 😂
@@ashman210 Back then, we didn't even have access to the internet, no guides were available, it was just down to yourself 😂
Literally just shouted 'YES' to seeing this pop up
Goddamn how do they go from Minecraft to Sephiroth so quickly
Idk
Smash fans: I wonder who’s after steve? Probably someone else silly.
Sakurai: ESTUANS INTERIS IRA VEHEMTI
The best part is now with his final Smash Sephiroth is able to show Steve, a potted plant and the Wii Fit Trainer the end of the universe.

Fun fact, the intro to the original version was based on the intro to 'Purple Haze' by Jimi Hendrix and multiple bars from 'The Rite of Spring' by Igor Stravinsky. Actually if you listen to The Rite of Spring you'll hear a lot of what influenced Nobuo Uematsu.
I listened to The Rite of Spring and I here the inspiration for sure. I know in his other ff7 tracks, I can hear inspiration from one song or another.
Fugo is useless
@hardi prakarti I think you mean “Fugo is horribly overpowered and had to be retconned out of the entire story.”
@@TemplarBlonic exactly, fuckin Araki did his tendency again to retcon or rebooted anything that too OP from his works.
Warning:
JoJo fans incoming
My boy is in Smash Now lets GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I know that I was not around when this game was made, but I went out of my way to play Final Fantasy VII’s original game before playing the Remake. Needless to say it was an amazing choice and this battle was a culmination of the hundreds I fought before. It took everything to beat Sephiroth
This song is Jenova`s final pledge to Sephiroth:
"(I`m) Burning inside with blind anger..."
"Oh, please, please... Don`t let me die..."
"(I have) Monstruous Destiny, and Empty..."
"Sephiroth, (my son...), Sephiroth..."
Imagine what *THAT* Sephiroth would look like in the remake
That'll take like 15 years for them to get to.
Aowkakwoakwok:v
Curious how they will handle the final fight sequence in the remake. I kind of hope we can't cheese it like in the original with KotR. Maybe give Sephiroth the ability to wipe out summons akin to Griever being able to do so in FF8.
As for this, particular portion, I can imagine it being something akin to the fight between Cloud and Sephiroth in Advent Children. In fact maybe it'll be exactly like it with the rest of the team being there more as support than properly getting involved.
@UCw92ULWqXXJZWGqLfwk2xFA I doubt it will be half of that. 15 years is roughly just over 2 consoles lifetimes.
Imaging his supernova
Your question is partially answered in Dissidia NT. They just released a Safer Sephiroth outfit, and it's every bit as ridiculous as it sounds. Totally awesome, but totally ridiculous.
... He has four halos.

Finally an orchestral version of the song that retains the grandeur and power of the original! I've always felt Uematsu's orchestral version lacks the back bone of the original and you really captured it!
EXACTLY! I always felt the other versions didnt retain the absolute Power of when the singers hit that "Sephiroth" in time with the instruments!
YES!
The remake is probably saving back a better version for the actual ending
I feel like this piece is too complex to pull off in a live recording, each note needs to be played at the exact right moment
This is the most loyal version of One Winged Angel i ever hear before to the original version, full of power, full of passion, FULL OF DESPAIR. I FKING LOVE IT.
I often don't like remasters or re-orchestrations of Nobuo Uematsu's masterpieces because they often miss or leave out important subtleties.
This song nails it! Excellent work. I'm so happy to see a song that manages to improve on the original Final Fantasy score.
Well done, and thank you for this :)
I wish modern versions of One-Winged Angel kept that "descent into madness" from 0:49 onwards.
Ditto. While the crazy hard rock of newer versions of this song are still good, the original had a greater sense of reflecting Sephiroth's descent into a rageful, ego-maniacal insanity. He propped himself into Deity status and this remix captures it all perfectly.
I think the version from Ever Crisis does this pretty well
Cloud 9999/9999
Barret 9999/9999
Cid 9999/9999
Sephiroth: _Super Nova_
Cloud: *9374*
Barret: *9374*
Cid: *9374*
Cloud: 625/9999
Barret: 625/9999
Cid: 625/9999
Well, it does deal 93.75% of the party members' current health.
Then Heartless Angel happens and everyone has 1 HP left.

This is how the ideal Biblically Accurate Angel is supposed to look. You may not like it, but this is what peak divine performance looks like.
Some other types of biblically-accurate angels seem to have 2 rings with many eyes for a body, with the multiple wings attached to it. Freaky.
Dammit Bobby.
And Sephiroth has a personality of one too. Biblically accurate angels are gigantic assholes. XD
@@uchihashuji3449 The fallen ones are, the Good ones keep to themselves majority of the time unless told to.
This battle in the remake with the music and visuals will be fucking groundbreaking
Given the fact the first part runs on the Unreal Engine 4 and managed to look as good as it did at the (not really) end of the PS4 life cycle, just imagine having this fight running in Unreal Engine 5 on the PS5/PS5 Pro at 4K120, maybe 4K60 with Ray Tracing goodness on.
Love this version, especially how's Sephiroth's motif is apparent during the "Sors immanis" part at 1:45, many mixes add stuff and jumble it
Yess this was always my favorite part and this made it even better!
I beat sephiroth with the classic trio. Barret, Tifa, and Cloud. It felt cannon. I spammed Summons then Tifa was turned into a frog, barret was down and Cloud had 1hp left. I used a final limit breaker and barely made it out alive.
Sephiroth is the overpowered and mary sue-like character that you actually like.
Fuck I can't say this is wrong
Preach.
Because he's a bad guy. Having the overpowered, perfect being character acting actively against you makes the archetype go from Boring and predictable to Terrifying and chaotic. Especially when you consider that he's by definition more powerful than you.
@@yetravellingsonc8372 Yeah but making the villain overpowered sometimes makes him/her annoying. At least if you ask me. But FFVII did it perfectly.
@@hi-dg4wcwhat bout the main character? Sephiroth fucking wipes out almost all of the solar system and cloud only got a flesh wound
This is my favourite One Winged Angel rearrangement
Sephiroth’s “ultimate form” in the remake will likely be the best Final Fantasy Boss Battle ever. I bet that the One Winged Angel will be even better than the Remake version.
That version of OWA is going to be tough to beat though
MIDI Man Well then everybody best level up as much as possible and stock up.
@@kaijulord54 I meant the song not the fight lol.
MIDI Man Well I’m sure that’s what people thought after hearing the Advent Children version yet look what they did with the remake.
@@kaijulord54 True. I hope they top it again. It'd be cool if they did something similar the remake and advent children
This is probably the best traditional rendition of One Winged Angel on CZcams. You didn’t sacrifice creativity either, love how u mixed parts from the Dissidia version. Massive respect! Love it :)
love the starting, most of the sephiroth ost now skip to 1:13
WORTH THE WAIT
100% WORTH THE WAIT
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS
*Supernova begins right after vocals.*
Finally! A rendition of One Winged Angel that isn't just the Advent Children version with added bells and whistles!
This is amazing, and it really captures the essence of that final battle. Well done!
No actually though, this cover of the song is like, the best of Reunion and the original. The Advent version is hype, but the original One Winged Angel is probably the best at capturing the megalomania of Sephiroth effectively going God-crazed with power.
3:27 hit me harder than Supernova.
My prayers have been answered! Finally someone did a worthy re-orchestration of One Winged Angel that sounds both natural and close to the original in spirit.
We've all listened coutless times to all those musics, but damn you always add that little thing that makes anyone fan of this song fall in love again.
Thanks

Yet another epic run Pontus! It gets very ominous at just the right moment.
I've always imagined in the Remake that this fight would end with Cloud's Finishing Touch to unbalance him, then Omnislash to finish it up. We'll see what the art director will do in the remake!
This is up there with the official Square Enix versions in terms of quality!
Fantastically done. You managed to capture everything that's awesome about this piece.
I was thinking "when can I get some new FF VII tracks" while watching your old videos few days back and now I'm blessed with One Winged Angel ! Oh god the chills and thrills !
One of the best songs ever in FF. Great cover.
Honestly one of the best songs ever in video game history in general. This theme is truly legendary in its greatness.
Holy crap. This is intense.
One of the best One Winged Angel I've listened so far. 👍
3:27 part is always my favourite part of one winged angel
After hearing the original, I searched for an re-orchestration, I can definitely say I found it.
One of the most memorable villain themes in a video game done justice! Wonderful job on the tone!
2:40 the extra trumpets in the background make this moment 10x better
I remember Sephiroth casting supernova on me 5 times during the fight, but because of my setup, I had Vincent healing the boss. I ran out of heals, died, came back, and managed to one shot the boss.
Really?
...HOLY SHIT!! How did you one-shot Safer Sephiroth?!?!
@@monst3rslay3r2 KOTR materia

This is the best version of this song I've heard
VERY few have been able to not only appropriately update this masterpiece, but perfect it. Thank you for being one of the few.
This one may be the most true to the original.
This is the part that always makes me fall in love with this song since to date there is no other with that level of epic 3:28
Many many many ass, everybody touching ass
@@cheeloong0421ify lmao i can't unread that now
3:28 you did an amazing job here!
makes me feel like im actually being hunted lol
The first time I heard the original during the final battle (and every time after that), I got goosebumps. This version gave me goosebumps, too! They should totally use this one in the remake! You should try your hand at "Dragon God" from Chrono Cross.
I just came back to say I literally listened to every version of One Winged Angel I could find and this is HANDS DOWN the best one... imo
The beauty of this ballad almost brought me to tears. I also appreciate they play it twice thru
This version seems modern but keeps the feeling of the original! Love it, feel like encountering safer Sephiroth again!
I can't wait 4 what one winged angel is going 2 sound like in final battle in the last part of FF7R
Holy crap this is the best remaster of the Original Track I have heard, good job
This is a beautiful take on that masterpiece, one of the major pieces to have in a great catalog, very good job :)
I am getting so much goosebump. This version is really good.

This is so awesome Pontus
this is one of the battles i want to see reimagined from the original!! please make it live up!gonna be godly!😱
I listened to not even 20 seconds of the song and had already pressed the like button. That's how good this cover is.
I literally can’t express how impressed I am with this rendition. Besides some of the brass parts being less pronounced and a few minor mistakes with the woodwinds, I love this.
You make me want to play this masterpiece again...
Thank you.
I've listened to a lot of your stuff. The management of dynamics, phrasing, and all the vertical stuff in parts where there's three counter melodies at once is really good. There is a lot more polish to this track than a lot of your other great work. This is definitely next level stuff. well done. Right before the "repeat" - Subito Piano's on the strings is the only part where things were noticeably "programmed" the hits were uniformly stoccatto instead of transitioning in to a subito-piano style sustain.
God damn I'm loving those trumpets! complaints about their relative volume aside, they add so much to the terrifying majesty of this theme. You pretty much turned One Winged Angel into the Imperial March of video games, if it wasn't that already.
What so many renditions of OWA always seem to lack is the military-esque element. Despite his madness, his arrogance and his ascension into a higher being, he was once a soldier and that will always be a part of him. This version however nailed that aspect.
One of the best orchestration of this song I have ever heard
I hope the FFVII Remake one sounds just like this one, IT'S PERFECT
This is amazingly crafted!
Sephiroth: You're right. It's over for everyone, for everything. It's all over for you.
only 10 seconds in and already falling in love with the quality
I’ve listen to pretty much every one wing an angel version out there on CZcams right now and this is got to be one of the best
Another master work as usual.
Absolute Masterpiece
This is just so incredibly cool! Got my subscription!
I knew as soon as this popped up that I had to listen to this. Was not disappointed.
This is brilliant. You reimagined it while keeping the original vocals. It sounds amazing.
How have I just only found this now?
Incredible!
This is beyond amazing !
i love this so much awesome job!!
I remember playing that game on my phone 1 year ago and that final boss music was dope
Having heard many versions of OWA for years, and not a big fan of the later versions. However, the brass accompaniment in this piece is glorious. Best version eva. ❤
Oddly I never noticed it till this version of one winged angel, but the start of the song really gives me a Slasher horror vibe
