Anyone else here like "Final Fantasy"?

[MJN SEIFER]

Not the game, obviously - the tune.

I don't know what it is, but I just love it. There's something about it that makes me feel emotionally good when I hear it - it's like there's some kind of nostalgia attached to it. It has been in every FF I've played, and probably in ones I haven't played - even if it's just a short clip of it during the credits I feel like it's "part" of the FF series, which it obviously is seeing as it is called "Final Fantasy", it is institutional like the prelude and the victory music. The first time it was played was when "you" cross a bridge in the first game = I wonder if it was called "Final Fantasy" back then, considering it was supposed to be Square's Swan's Song. It is often played close to the beginning, or close to the end of the games.

On a side note: I think the chorus of Wham's "Freedom" (completely different song to George Michael's "Freedom") sounds close to the tune of Final Fantasy, in fact when I first heard it, I was in a restaurant and I remember straining to listen to it, thinking it was an FF song with lyrics. I eventually found out what it was called, and now it's one of my favorite songs.

You mean the prelude? Yeah it's nice. I remember it really well and used to play it on the piano without problems And yes it IS final fantasy's trademark.

The prelude is a trademark of the series, but I'm not sure how often it shows up. I don't remember it being in VI, VII, VIII, IX, or X.

It was in all of those FFs

This is just part one of a compilation of all the different versions of it. It's such a good tune. It's just arpeggios but it's brilliant.

EDIT: I just realised you lot are talking about a completely different song lol

The thread title made me think this was going to be a thread about Owen Pallett

In FFX it's that theme that plays at the very beginning in Tidus's Zanarkand. But it's a bit remixed

I came in thinking the same thing.

[Dreddz]

Most versions of it are forgettable but a few are quite nice to listen to. FFVII's might be my favourite.

Um, actually... "Final Fantasy" is this. Don't worry though, many make the mistake. I still prefer the Prelude, though

[Jiro]

THAT ONE. Oh man, that track makes me want to get up and start being a hero. It's brilliant.
