Final Fantasy VII is a role-playing video game developed and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation platform.

The remix album of "Final Fantasy 7" pays tribute to composer Nobuo Uematsu. The album composers include Will Roget, Jeff Ball, Dale North, Kyle Landry amongst others.

The remix version of "Final Fantasy 7" is being made to celebrate the remake of RPG. It was designed with the help of over 200 artists, according to iDigital Times.

All the five tracks which are present in "Final Fantasy 7 Remix" were re-arranged and remixed, and also re-envisioned from the main theme. This album was sparked as a result of the excitement of the remake of "Final Fantasy 7," which was announced at the E3 2015. The creators worked in a pretty tight deadline to put this masterpiece out there.

The founder of album producer Materia Collective, Sebastian Wolff said that they always wanted to create such a cool remixed album. He further said that he thinks this album is so much more than just a cover album; it collects the musicals tributes from over 200 artists.

It shows a massive effort towards creating a five disc tribute to the most loved games and sound tracks of time immemorial. The list of the contributors include composers Jeff Ball for "Time Spinner", Will Roget 2 for "Lara Croft", Francisco Cerda and John Robert Matz for "Gunpoint", Triforce Quartet, Videri String Quartet, and many more.

The album will make the fans extremely nostalgic for sure. The album is available for $19.99 on iTunes, for $15 on Ludr, and also on Spotify.

Discussing the upcoming remake and the changes that it will bring in the game, game director Tetsuya Nomura told Games Radar, "We're not going to be changing it into a shooter or something like that. We are going to be bringing dramatic changes, but we want to make sure it's still recognizable."
