VG Soundtrack of the Day 028: FINAL FANTASY IV Original Soundtrack


The first 16-bit entry in Square Enix's mega popular RPG series, FINAL FANTASY IV exploded onto the SNES in 1991. At the time, it was the most ambitious FF game, introducing the Active Time Battle system, a developed cast of characters, a plot that spread across Earth and the Moon and one of the best game soundtracks of the era. Nobuo Uematsu knocked it out of the park with FFIV's score. The Main Theme for this game is my favorite of the entire series and it gets arranged in other themes numerous times. Fight 2 is a big fan favorite (shoulda been in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or a remixed version of it) as is The Dreadful Fight (also known as Battle with the Four Fiends). It isn't just the battle music that makes FFIV's soundtrack so spectacular. Even the more relaxed themes like Welcome to Our Town! and Troian Beauty are stand out tunes, the later of which is absolute audio bliss. In case I haven't made it clear, I LOVE FFIV's soundtrack.
