Honestly, out of the entire OFF soundtrack, the one track that I greatly fear the replacement won't live up to is Brain Plague. Most OFF tracks are genius in rather conventional ways that a lot of fan composers have already managed to pick up on before, and factoring in the incredible music from the initial teaser and the announcement trailer, we seem to be in good hands.

Brain Plague, though? That song managed to have a melody that layers forwards and reversed pianos in a way that makes it feel natural both forwards in backwards. How do you even pull that off so seamlessly? I will owe the new composers everything if they manage to pull off the same gimmick with a longer track, Brain Plague being a thirty second loop kinda stings.

Edit: Desperately Safe also feels like it's gonna be REAL hard to top. That title card is hard to beat.

Tiny insignificant things the OFF remake will likely change

It's decently well-known that the soundtrack is being replaced due to licensing issues and that the UI is being completely overhauled, but I am an overly analytical and highly passionate person who loves useless trivia. Therefore, I am going to recall from memory various smaller details of the game that are likely to see changes in the remake.

Since the Elsen breathing sound was also made by Coldwood, there will likely be a new talksound for them.

For that matter, most of the sound effects will likely be changed, since most of them were RPG Maker default sounds before. OFF used said sounds to better effect than any other game I know, so this is honestly the change I'm the most let down by, but it's a necessary evil.

Whatever the main and save menus end up being like, it's worth noting that they'll have to be designed with that one section of The Room in mind.

The pictures that accompany the exposition dumps about the elements aren't unlikely to be replaced, likely with original artwork.

Going by the Steam description, Dedan's swearing is back.

The infamous game controller puzzle will definitely be changed, since the original required reading the README file, which can't exist in the Switch port

The Dopefish cameo might not make it in

Despite the track not being made by Coldwood, Somewhere Over The Rainbow is also being replaced for incredibly obvious reasons given that the remake is a commercial product. Whether or not the replacement will have lyrics too is up to time.

A summary of my emotions with the Fangamer OFF stuff

"Mortis suddenly posting new OFF art? That's pretty neat, probably doesn't mean anything though..."

"WAIT, SOMETHING IS COMING? WHAT'S COMING?"

"Oh... it's just merch. Cool promo video though"

[Forgets about it for a week or two]

"Steam and Switch rereleases? That's pretty nice, kinda like what Yume Nikki did"

"Wait, those are new animations, that's pretty cool."

"Wait... new areas? New secret bosses!? NEW BATTLE SYSTEM!?"

Suffice to say, OFF fandom finally gets food

I just remembered this video and I must propagate it because it's just so many layers of genius in execution. I also desperately hope Yelectro or something similar makes it into Stema because it's one of my favorite things ever.

Here are the Ultra Beast Starters I made for my last video below where I explained these designs
