I'm curious. Can't find this info online (lost my CD, unfortunately). I keep reading that Liberi Fatali was the first orchestra recording to be used in a video game. First, is this true? Second, which orchestra performed the piece and who conducted it?

No, it wasn't the first in Japan (some examples are Sakura Wars 1 and 2, and Grandia 1), and The Lost World, which had the first fully orchestrated soundtrack, was before it as well.

The first game I know of that used a full orchestra in the game itself was "Return to Zork" which was released in the US for PC in 1993 and then later for PC-FX in japan.

It was the first Final Fantasy to use a full, live orchestra. smile

I have no idea who the performers are...I'll check around.

Wasn't Manji Maru on the PC Engine a full orchestra for some of the pieces?

The booklet doesn't mention a certain orchestra (only a list of musicians) but the conductor was Katsuaki Nakatani.

You sure that actually used one?

Didn't the end of FFVII have a full live orchestra? End credits and all that...

Cuz this poster apparently just sent me an email @rpgfan.com, and I apparently just told him that, among other things.

Yes, it was frantic fact-checking. Thanks to all. Maybe it was just some union-organized orchestra or something similar, but the conductor's name is important.

I'm quickly recording a one-hour radio show for WQED in Pittsburgh about vg music, and this helps a lot.

Yeah, I'm sure. I used to listen to it all the time because it was redbook audio. I would just pop it into my cd player. I can upload a sample.

Pretty sure it was sequenced.  The entire FF7 OST is in that PSF set.  No left-out tracks at all. :)

The choir was real though, obviously.

Hmmm, well that's kinda odd. I wonder if it was written for the game then? That could explain it...

Yeah, FF7 had a real choir, but all the orchestra stuff was synthized, as oppsed to FF8's full recording sessions.

By Qui-Gon Joe (Aug 8 '06, 19:01) (#15)

Yeah, everything in FF7 was digital and even the choir they combined into the digital music for OWA sounds funky and dated these days, I think.

The choir was never exactly top quality. If I remember correctly, there was only four people credited in it (which isn't even technically a chorus).

True, it wasn't the greatest quality, but it had Masashi Hamauzu and he is the Sqeenix god.
