Steel string or nylon string to play ff7 ost?

[Lion]

I've picked up guitar recently and would love to play some FF7 songs. Just curious what would be better to play songs like the ff7 main theme, aeriths theme, and other music like that. Also curious how it'd sound with either

like what kind of strings are used in this

The elemental fiends music from FFIV is always awesome.

Well... It's always situational.
For the softer songs, like aerith's theme or interrupted by fireworks, nylon strings would be best. But for the more upbeat and sharper tracks, steel strings provide a distinct edge.

If you have steel strings, play it with those. It won't sound bad. I doubt anything could sound bad on a nice acoustic guitar.
Especially Uematsu's compositions.

"On the other side of the Mountain"  is a nice chill song to do - also surprisingly easy to learn. Sounds good with either steel or nylon.
Bit of useless information nobody's really interested in, nobuo seem's to have stolen a lot of that composition from another piece.

And actually, Aeris' theme as it appears in Crisis Core is actually recorded with steel strings. Come to think of it, a lot of the songs in that game were.
