Bits of Music: Final Fantasy IV

Final Fantasy is synonymous with beautiful music. But there is something just enjoyable about Final Fantasy 4's soundtrack. The staple of all of the Final Fantasy soundtracks of course is the Crystal theme. But the opening for Final Fantasy IV really stages just how epic the experience will be. The Red Baron theme is close to what you would expect a marching song would have sounded in the Civil War. Nothing gets me more pumped then hearing this song, it immerses me further in the game, and the great thing is that it gets even better down the line.

Great soundtrack, listen to it while you read this post.

 I have just a bit of information on the composer. Most people know who Nobuo Uetmatsu is. However if you don't know him, he was the main composer for all music that was associated with Final Fantasy. He has his own band called the Black Mages, who actually tour across the US, Japan, and in Europe. His band has done several tours, one being Distant Worlds, which was a beautiful arrangement of each famous song in the Final Fantasy games. He is one of the more famous of Video game composers, and you can really tell from the melodic tones and beautiful arrangements that he has provided to this amazing franchise. 

I'll always enjoy Final Fantasy IV for many reasons, but the soundtrack really governed a lot of my love for the franchise as a whole. And that really about covers it for this Bit of Music. I hope you all enjoyed the tidbit of info I gave about this great soundtrack. And as always, till next time!
