I don't understand why SE used the original songs from the PS2 KH1 in the new Re:Coded cutscenes for 2.5.  Why didn't they use the orchestrated tracks from 1.5?

 

An example of this is here:

During the Wonderland episode, (and probably the others, but I noticed it first for Wonderland) they didn't use the orchestrated version of the song... no idea why they decided on that.

 

Another example is the track in the new Re:Coded secret scene, except they actually orchestrated it for KH2FM in 2.5, but used the MIDI version in the Re:Coded cutscene!  I don't get it...

Perhaps because the story takes place inside a computer and so non-orchestrated music is more appropriate? I don't know...

They did use new orchestrations for the new scenes with roxas

They didn't orchestrate all scenes in Days either. I guess that was less to do with the KH2 tracks, after all?

For the Day's movie it was understandable considering they hadn't orchestrated the KH2 tracks at the time.  Also with Re:CoM in 1.5 as well, SE didn't use the orchestrated tracks for the worlds from KH1FM in 1.5 and instead used the originals.  I guess this could be one example of "Nomura logic."
