Hi guys! It's time to continue the JRPG jamfest with this amazing Final Fantasy battle theme! This battle theme makes a perfect metal cover thanks to it's prominent guitar driven rhythm section which gave me such a strong template to work with and hopefully take it to an even more extreme level! I couldn't resist dropping the riff down an octave for some super crunchy Drop C riffage! I love how dynamic this theme is as well, it has that super energetic main riff but when we have that melody come in, the rhythm section calms down and the baseline does the talking alongside a beautiful classic Final Fantasy melody. I tried as hard as I could to branch out and let my metal arrangement be (hopefully) as dynamic as the original. Sometimes with metal stuff it's so easy to get caught up in the monotonous all-riffs-all-the-time trap so I always appreciate a chance to break out of that and attempt to make a dynamic piece of music. I also love the A to B progression of the theme. It has a really nice pace that takes you on a journey which I always love in a composition when done right. It's definitely different than most retro video game themes where it's a more repetitive musical vibe (which I love working with as well but for different reasons) Overall I had such a blast putting this arrangement together and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it! Thanks so much for Ced for requesting this theme and thank you guys for watching! Thanks so much to xXMasterJ360Xx for the game footage.
