* More terror-inspiring music: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4WTtN0iQ60 You Can Hear the Cry of the Planet.]], which plays while you're exploring the desolate City of the Ancients before meeting up with Aerith. The remake has a remix in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeVRxaNfR_w Seven Seconds Till The End]], played near the end of the game with Cloud and Sephiroth's final confrontation at the edge of creation. Haunting, unsettling, and even with a triumphant portion, just enough to send shivers down one's spine.

* The Midgardsormr boss battle gives an incredible new take on the normal battle music. Appropriately enough, the fight starts with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaG0GEoK-fc an orchestral mix]] of the regular ''Final Fantasy VII'' battle music rather than a variant of "Those Who Fight Futher", as a nod to the battle in the original game which was a non-boss encounter. As the battle shifts to the final phase, the track switches to a much harder mix which is far heavier on the percussion elements, adding to the frantic nature of the fight.

* The main theme of ''Rebirth'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d43gz5IU49M "No Promises To Keep",]] is a powerful love ballad with vocals from Loren Allred, sung in-universe by Aerith, as a way of expressing her thoughts about the immense burden of being a Cetra, her longing to escape from her cruel destiny, and her feelings towards everyone she holds dear, which includes not just her love interests, Cloud and Zack, but also Elmyra, Ifalna, Tifa, Barret, and other people she met. Keen listeners will notice the subtle inclusion of parts of Aerith's theme.
* An instrumental version of "No Promises to Keep", titled "One Last Date - My Dream", plays throughout Chapter 14's "dream" date sequence between Aerith and Cloud. It's a subtly more melancholic take on the song that emphasizes both how much Aerith cherishes her time with Cloud and her deep sorrow as they're forced to part ways at the end of the sequence, knowing that fate dictates for her to die and that they may never get another chance like this.
