There’s a new Final Fantasy song cover on the Square Enix Music Channel on YouTube, and this time it is a Yui Morishita performance of “One-Winged Angel” from FFVII. A scale figure of Sephiroth appears alongside him throughout it. This arrived following the PC debut of FFVII Rebirth.
This cover of “One-Winged Angel” lasts just over four minutes, and this take on the FFVII track is only available on the channel at the moment.
Some of the piano covers appearing here are available outside of the channel, however. The official Piano Cover Collection from Square Enix Music ChannelCD released in October 2024. While that album did feature 15 tracks, only seven songs were from Final Fantasy games and none came from FFVII.
As for the performer, Yui Morishita is known for working on video games. He’s also played for many Square Enix covers before. For example, his work can be found on the Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross soundtracks in an Orchestra Arrangement collection. He also did covers of Final Fantasy songs like FFVIII’s “The Man with the Machine Gun.” His other work includes a SMT III Nocturne HD Remasterpiano arrangement.
This is one of many ways Square Enix is promoting the FFVII Rebirth launch. It teased a Chocobo-themed Steam Deck giveaway. A FFVII Rebirth event returned to FFVII Ever Crisis. We also heard a cover of the song “One-Winged Angel” during the Louis Vuitton Men’s Fall-Winter 2025 fashion show, as the FFVII track appeared as part of the showcase’s soundtrack.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is on the PS4, PS5, and PC, and FFVII Rebirth is on the PS5 and PC.
