[QUOTE="Admin, post: 60194, member: 1"] This year's Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, the musical and military performance taking place in Scotland, featured Final Fantasy 7's anti-military opening mission theme. As reported by [URL='https://www.eurogamer.net/final-fantasy-7-bombing-music-included-in-edinburgh-military-tattoo']Eurogamer[/URL], the performance featured the ironic rendition of composer Nobuo Uematsu's Opening - Bombing Mission, which is played in the original Final Fantasy 7 as the game's protagonists arrive to blow up an energy reactor. The song is obviously anti-military, given the game is about fighting against the evil megacorporation Shinra and its military group Soldier. The clip was shared on [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/FinalFantasy/comments/15r5mfk/the_royal_edinburgh_military_tattoo_played_ff7/']Reddit[/URL] by Roshi20, and while many in the comments expressed their excitement at hearing the iconic tune, the irony wasn't lost either. "Military marching band playing a song called Bombing Run from a game where terrorists bomb a military installation. Ironic," said one user. "Still, that's cool." Another added: "Thematically this makes no sense, and yet who cares. Epic." Final Fantasy 7's protagonist Cloud actually takes part in a military parade later in the game, a section that should appear in the next part of the Remake trilogy. Part two, officially called Rebirth, is due to release in early 2024 and [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/final-fantasy-7-fans-think-theyve-spotted-the-highwind-in-rebirths-new-trailer']fans are already noticing references to the original game in its marketing[/URL].
