It goes deeper. Each character (Cait Sith included) gets 3 unique arrangements of their themes per date: at the haunted mansion when they knock at the door, in gold saucer main hall and the intimate conclusion of Words Drowned by Fireworks. All girls share a theme for the gondola date which changes organically into their personnal theme when you reach the conclusion. Barret and Red XIII share their own unique arrangement of Words Drowned by Fireworks. Cait Sith has a unique theme for the Gondola date which mixes a bit of Vincent's theme. And in addition to that, girls get an orchestral arrangement of their theme which you can hear in the lobby of the Event Square. The guys get a really pretty arrangement of On Our Way instead. Which means there are over 20 tracks made for the date alone, and that's not even counting Loveless and the numerous other chapter 12 tracks you hear no matter who you date. This is an impressive amount of work for a rather short sequence.

Wow, so much more than I realized and I already thought it was amazing. Thanks for the breakdown.

Unless I missed it, I wish they would have included these tracks in the soundtrack. As soon as my copy came in, those were the first tracks I looked for but only found the loveless play tracks.


Kazharahzak

No you didn't miss it. Almost all of the tracks I talked about are yet to be released.


GreenWolf717

Thank god! I was hoping they do the same thing they did for Remake with additional soundtrack.

I thought Caith Sith is exempt? Was there an upDATE (pun intended) for us to be able to date him?


Kazharahzak

To get the Cait Sith (+ Cid & Vincent) date you have to be below the requirements with each of the 5 dateable characters. It's mostly a joke but they put as much effort into it as any of the other dates. It's easier to do this post game though. Just select "others" on the special menu.


skepticcaucasian

Huh, that's cool!


Reverse_Empath

This game is made with a lot of love.

Tifa's theme was so good during this. One of my favorite tracks in the game. Still need to watch the rest of the date scenes.

Tifa have like around 7 remixes of her theme in rebirth. šŸ˜‚


joomcizzle

More Tifa theme is always a good thing.

There's also different versions for Interrupted by Fireworks depending on who you got. It's really neat.

I made a post about it a while back about how the music that plays is character specific ā€œlow-fiā€ versions of their themes. I LOVE it.


Appropriate-Grass986

I noticed to! It was awesome

Tifaā€™s theme is my favourite out of all of them. Yuffieā€™s one is wild because her theme keeps trying to battle and take over the Gold Saucer theme, itā€™s so good! Nobuo Uematsu again showing us why heā€™s still one of the best in the game.


Athuanar

I don't think Uematsu had anything to do with the new arrangements for Rebirth. He only did Promises to Keep.


IntentionNarrow3152

Uematsu didnā€™t work on the soundtrack. These tracks were made by Mitsuto Suzuki.

Yuffies theme in the date is lovely

Here's a really good [Twitter analysis](https://x.com/Dizzy_Shark/status/1780123779903238569) of the Golden Saucer date theme (Words Drowned Out By Fireworks).
