Awesome job. Been ages since I played 8. Although by far not my favourite of the series, more leaning into 4,6 and - don't hate me - 12, it was a great game with an amazing soundtrack.
People often point to that bassline heard at the beginning of so many Final Fantasy battles as a metamotif of sorts, or even homage to past games, but nobody is talking about the fact that Uematsu-san just really doesn't know any other basslines but that one.
The reason why nobody says that is because it makes absolutely no sense: 1. We know FOR A FACT that he wrote many different bass lines, you just have to hear the pieces to see that. 2. Even if you ignore the FACTS and try to theorize, it would make absolutely no sense that a composer with so many diverse pieces wouldn't be capable of writing as many basslines as he wanted.
FF7 and FF8 pretty much abandoned the traditional battle bass motif in favor of completely independent battle themes. Just when you think it's gone for good, FF8 hits you with it once only in the final battle of the game.
The original will always be the best. I've listening to many remixes or 'remasters' and so many of them completely miss the mark or add their own unnecessary twist to it.
What's the source on the choral version? I see the Arrange soundtrack for sale a few places, but I don't want to drop the cash before I know I'm getting the actual song I want, lol.
You could just check for yourself online, but yes, that's from Arrange version On a side note, arranged Moving Express and Prince of Darkness slap hard
me playing that battle: alright epic music, epic everything, let's go!, *uses akashic arts and instakills glasses-guy while dealing 50% total hp damage to revolver jesus* huh, what? *does it again and kills revolver jesus* WTF my epic battle ruined!!!
This song has so much life and personality. One thing that I don't really think is anything, but is interesting to point out, is that the Final Fantasy VII boss theme, "One-Winged Angel," features chanting as a key component, something FFVIII would use extensively throughout its soundtrack. Then, in its final battle theme, VIII busts out the classic Final Fantasy battle bassline (not heard for a couple of entries, by that point). Really, "The Extreme" just feels evocative of various FF tunes, in general. And, as everyone knows, it was followed up with IX, a throwback to the FF days of yore, and sporting the bassline in its standard battle theme, to boot. Just think that's interesting. It's as if the final boss music provides a little peek at what's to come.
I also liked in FFX when you fight Seymour the last time the music is the most old-school FF music you could imagine from a game that clearly went a different direction with the music.
It's the same as the classic Final Fantasy bassline that goes all the way back to the first game. And then IX brought it back for its standard battle theme. That was my point.
This is the theme that plays when you finally find the solution to overcome your obstacles, and then actually overcome those obstacles. The path to overcome your obstacles is within you. Once you find it, BELIEVE you can overcome it, don't waver or falter, and don't look back, and MANIFEST your solution into reality
One of the things I really disliked about the remastered version for the Switch is that the soundtrack cut out the very beginning of this theme -- the harp solo just after the "fithos lusec wecos vinsosec," instead skipping ahead to where the piano joins at roughly 0:50. I LOVED that part.
