giving into the brainrot (art by me)

Initially I chose a five-Wednesday month for Final Fantasy because I was struggling to decide which entries to cover, and figured having an extra week would be advantageous. Having covered four, however, I remained conflicted over what the fifth feature ought to be. FFVIII & FFIX both seemed viable, but would also result in all the features being from a specific part of the series rather than being spread out more. On the other hand, modern entries have only gotten larger, resulting in soundtracks that would take a lot more time for me to listen through. I even briefly considered spin-offs, but I have no context off of which to judge relevant impact. So ultimately, I've decided to take a slightly different approach to wrap up this series. Despite being a franchise, leitmotifs are inconsistent across entries, each soundtrack being mostly its own entity. The few musical themes that are consistent stand out for this reason, and none more than Uematsu's iconic "Prelude." I hesitated to include any iteration of this piece in the previous features due to its relevance being more toward the series as a whole rather than the given entry within which it was contained. In some ways, its the perfect piece for this purpose; its relative simplicity lends itself to customization without risk of losing its core features, allowing it to always represent aspects of both the franchise and specific iteration. My personal favorite is FFVI's, but FFX's showcases more strongly how versatile the piece can be. I left out FFVII's for being too similar to FFVI's, but in compensation I can utilize it for the other major leitmotif of the series: the "Chocobo Theme". This one have far less thematic relevance, but is nonetheless considered iconic, and lets me wrap up on a lighthearted note. FFVII had several iterations of this piece, so I've just gone with my favorite out of them (even if it isn't necessarily the best representation of the motif).

This game can be found on Nyaa (torrent) but I don't know if it has viruses or not.

Final Fantasy X marked a significant change for the series's music, this being the first entry to feature additional composers. Most of the soundtrack is still Uematsu's work, but with several arrangements and additional compositions from Junya Nakano and Masashi Hamauzu. The platform this time around was the Playstation 2, and it's at this point I begin to question the absence of live instrument performance. So many of these tracks are obviously VSTs, and while there isn't technically anything wrong with that, by this time the hardware should have been able to handle more, and the series certainly had the necessary clout to justify it. I hesitate to assume this to be a conscious decision on the part of the developers; more likely there's simply more to the process then I'm aware of. The soundtrack itself is significantly subdued overall compared to the previous entries covered. While this fixes the cohesiveness problem I mentioned in FFVII, I feel this goes too far in the other direction, lacking sufficient range for such a large collection. That being said, individual track quality is still impressive. I've deliberately avoided using final boss themes for these features, and I'll continue to do so here, but I felt this iteration was particularly well suited as a musical point of culmination. I also mustn't neglect to mention the primary leitmotif the pervades throughout the soundtrack, that being of Zanarkand, which serves to tie the music together with the story in an exemplary way.

Mochi.Rin - A Sky Dyed Scarlet I feel a bit guilty about this one, but figured if I was ever going to try this experiment then there weren't many other options that would suit it better. This is supposedly a remix of Sunny Milk's Scarlet Mist Incident, which itself was a remix of Sunny Rutile Flection and U.N. Owen was Her? combined into a single piece. The latter is among the most recognizable motifs in the entire franchise, so it shouldn't be that hard to hear it in an arrangement, even a more experimental one. As it is, I can't hear anything of either piece, much less the combo version. I've sometimes wondered about the quantity of "faked" remixes, where the arrangement is more inspired-by than adapted-from. What do y'all think? ??? - A Land Resplendent With Nature's Beauty (piano arrangement "2" from kkcwkoh) It's important to cite your sources. I almost didn't use this for the feature, but I couldn't find another remix that respected the original motif in quite the same way (to be fair, it's a more obscure piece). If anyone recognizes the arrangement and can identify the artist, I'd very much appreciate it. Mon Mari (Monmari?) - Star Voyage 2008 It was between this and a heavier rock arrangement, and between the two this seemed more in keeping with the spirit of the original (but it was close). Didn't find as many remixes as I'd hoped too; does that mean I get to call it an underrated piece? BTW, I've technically skipped over a piece, but only because I'm saving it for later; I also doubt anyone remembers it anyway, considering its placement.

Yea, shipping tends to be the real cost of these purchases. I use Japan Rabbit to expand my options, and hold off on orders until I can get a couple different products from the same seller. Booth is also an option for some digital albums that don't make it to iTunes, but their payment system doesn't always cooperate with me, making them an unreliable supplier. I wish more doujin circles would make their projects available through western-friendly services, but I also can't really blame them for not doing so. _______________ In relation to today's OGM feature: The moment I heard Decisive Battle, I noted its similarities to another piece that had no association with it. Sure enough, I wasn't the only one. Lemming - Himorogi, Burn in Decisive Battle
