Abstract
In this roundtable conversation, we discuss the soundtrack to Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VII Remake with composer Wilbert Roget, prose writer M.J. Gallagher, and video game developer Pat Holleman. Each member brings their own unique experience to this conversation, as they have all been influenced greatly by both the game and soundtrack to Final Fantasy VII: Wilbert Roget notes Nobuo Uematsu as a great influence on his work, M.J. Gallagher has written the unofficial novelizations of FF7, and Pat Holleman has analysed the development and design of FF7 in his book Reverse Design: Final Fantasy VII. In this conversation, we examine narrative meaning within the soundtrack, compositional techniques within the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, and RPGs more broadly, music’s relation to lore within FFVII, as well as musical diegesis within the game world.
