Slow, steady and methodical, you can listen to this song and suddenly notice you've been tapping your foot along to the beat. I simply can't get enough of the piano in this song, and I think it would be impossible not to feel like a badass striding into a room with this playing.
The main melody is engaging too, and it has an almost otherworldly feel to it. The electronic beats complete the trio, and although they are my least favourite part of the song, it is difficult to say they don't add an extra something to it.
Normally with these articles, I like to take old songs and show how they progress. This time I'm going to do it in reverse! YouTuber CakeJarey has recreated the song using the FFVI sound engine.
The song, of course, reflects Auron well. Strong and silent, patient and calm, the man is definitely a leading contender for coolest character in an FF game. Auron was something of a mystery, firstly appearing in Zanarkand with Tidus and seeming to understand the attack of Sin, before appearing once again in Spira, reknowned as a legendary warrior.
It later transpires that Auron previously travelled with Braska, Yuna's father, and was a little bit more young and rash than he is now. We also learn that he actually died trying to avenge his friend, and is now an unsent. When the party bring about the eternal Calm, Auron is sent and finally acquires peace.
Taking the regression even further, veniteo has brought Auron to the NES!
