That said, I consider Kingdom Hearts 1.5’s re-instrumentificated music to be an overall success.


That’s not to say that I universally love the new music Final Fantasy X HD has its fair share of misfires in its reinterpretations, and even some aspects of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 are perhaps not as I would have imagined them. My philosophy has always been one of “well, if they’re going to make it look nicer, why not make it sound nicer, too?” As the years slide on, I know at least that my own memory has a tendency to upscale graphics and music and affect how I remember the games of yesterday, and so I’ve typically appreciated Square Enix’s “HD music” approach for helping the focus of my nostalgia keep up with the realities of modern tech and sound hardware. Some folks are always bound to swear by “how it used to be” and toss out declarations of “they ruined it!” no matter what changes are made, and certainly there’s some merit to keeping certain aspects of a classic the same (just ask George Lucas). Messing with the subject of many folks’ keen sense of nostalgia is never an easy thing, though. With their recent spate of remasters, Square Enix has taken to tossing in more than just a spitshine and some trophies - most of them also involve some degree of tinkering with the original music.
