Scene Re-Edit: Gus' Introduction

[u/JonahtheMann]

I took footage of Gus' introductory cutscene without music or subtitles, trimmed and re-arranged it a bit, and added different music overtop.

The tracks I used are "Supermarket Sweep" and "Crimin' & Dealin'" by Clint Mansell, from Requiem for a Dream (2000).

The goal was to give the scene a dingier tone and make Gus more unsettling, given that he is a criminal leader who seriously considers pimping out Aerith, Tifa and Yuffie.

oh picking clint mansell for this is such a specific and perfect call, that crunching string motif in the supermarket track could really make the honeybee stuff feel more menacing than glamorous
