About the PC music, i don't know if you guys are aware, but in the Install Discs (for both VII and VIII) you can find the original soundfont banks.
In the Install Disc for FFVII in "data\midi\sf2" you have the following files:
FF7.sf2 (Big Version)
FF7m.sf2 (Medium Version)
ff7s.SF2 (Small Version)
lb2.SF2 (real choirs)
In FFVIII, after the game is installed, you can find the file FF8.dls in your game Data\Music\dmusic folder.
If you load them into a soundfont manager you get instruments that were supposed to play, just like the PSX version.
Just to post my impressions, which are that both version are good, the PSX versions in a real PSX, and the PC versions in a PC
Greetings.
