about

"Today is the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy IV (Initial release date: July 19, 1991) and I wanted to pay tribute to the game that had the most profound impact on my life. I must have been about twelve when I got a Super Nintendo. It was a while after everyone else, and I took my SNES over to a friend's house for a sleepover. I wanted to play Super Mario World because I had never had the chance to play it outside of the store kiosks, but my friends had rented a game called "Final Fantasy IV" (then II). I was completely uninterested in this game because it involved reading and graphics that weren't as good as Mario. But after they fell asleep I felt compelled to pick up the controller and keep going on their game. From that moment, I was hooked. The music drew me in and I quickly became an RPG fan. When they woke up the next morning, I was still playing. I owe this game a lot for distracting me from many of the more difficult parts of my childhood. I identified with Cecil and his struggles with the darkness within him, and with him not knowing his father. I'm very thankful this game was there for me when others weren't.

I started playing around with a Rhodes sound and just reminiscing on the theme. Then I kicked in a little spice for the full version of the melody which I only hinted at before. The bridge of this track takes influence of the Lunarian soundscape to represent the presence of Cecil's father. And I liked using the sine lead to carry out the melody at the end as it's very nostalgic to me.

I hope you enjoy my tribute and if you haven't had a chance to play the game, I highly recommend it." ~ Mustin, 2016-07-19
