#FINAL FANTASY 6 SOUNDTRACK SERIES#

Outside of battle, travel music such as The Last Dungeon and Mt. And letвЂ™s not forget the memorable Dancing Mad and its crazy pipe organ.

#FINAL FANTASY 6 SOUNDTRACK SERIES#

Wrap them all up with a victory fanfare, and VI stands out in the series with brilliant combat music. The Fierce Battle takes them all a step further with a hectic and intense score. Battle Theme, The Unforgiven and The Decisive Battle create an air of tension and excitement, even if youвЂ™re just listening to the music. The battle music stands among the best tracks found in the game.

Likewise, Blackjack channels classic Final Fantasy airship music. The Empire Gestahl is immediately recognisable as a Final Fantasy piece with its slow, foreboding and dramatic sounds. From there, the album continues to the jazz-styled Johnny C Bad and the oddly-titled вЂњ?вЂќ that features a catchy xylophone tune. Aria De Mezzo Carattere has the same problem, though the upbeat Grand Finale at the end is a joy to listen to. Overture is a grand piece, marred by odd-sounding vocals that begin around the middle. Music from the in-game opera is featured on disc 2 as well. Of course, if youвЂ™re planning to burn the music onto your computer, then you can re-arrange the tracks however you like.

The same can be said for the grating Slam Shuffle that follows it. Techno De Chocobo is a fun, upbeat piece, but seems out of place surrounded by songs such as the delicate, saddening Forever Rachel. This is a benefit for those hoping to relive their memories of the game, though certain songs next to others are jarring at times. The order of tracks in the album matches their appearance in Final Fantasy VI. Considering their relationship and role in the game, their music balances each other perfectly. Even though it is also melancholic in tone, Terra sounds more like a hopeful beginning rather than an end. I hadnвЂ™t noticed it before, but it has moments that sound similar to AerithвЂ™s theme from Final Fantasy VII. It has a relaxed, almost lullaby-like tone to it, but it sounds like a farewell too. CelesвЂ™ music is beautiful, and one of my favourites on the album. Terra (Tina) and Celes are the standout character themes. When Edgar and SabinвЂ™s theme played, I didnвЂ™t recognise it immediately, but did think to myself how royal sounding it was. Shadow has lone ranger-style music, while Gogo has a quirky, whimsical feel. KefkaвЂ™s theme reflects his mischievous and mysterious nature, and GauвЂ™s and RelmвЂ™s respective music are peaceful and elegant. In fact, Character themes are some of the best music found on the CDs. The sombre mood continues through Narshe and Awakening, so the cheery music found in LockeвЂ™s theme is a welcome change of pace. It also features a part of TerraвЂ™s (Tina in Japan) theme, which is done throughout many pieces in the soundtrack. ItвЂ™s dramatic and sets the scene for the rest of the game and music. The Opening Theme kicks the album off on a high note. That said, I use the word вЂњremasteredвЂќ loosely, because the changes here are minor and barely noticeable. In the meantime, IвЂ™ll take chances like this to listen to and review one of the remastered soundtracks. If youвЂ™ve read any of the recent Final Fantasy news stories IвЂ™ve posted, you may have noticed my hopes that VI will one day see a re-release on a modern system. Final Fantasy VI is one of my favourite games in the series, and to this day has some of the best music.
