These sounds are recorded (duh) and synchronized to give each soldier an individual sound, making it seem like each of them are clinking and clanking as they walk. Nothing like getting the sound from the original noisemaker eh? I was gonna ask, but then I guess Square Enix is exactly the type of company that would have big metal gauntlets hanging around. I wish I had one of those here, just for kicks.
