Rose of May..<3

how can people not recognize this song? O.O

it's like the song that i remember the most! >.<

[RemiusTheAwesome]

Jeeze people, yes the song is in the game. It's just in a different arrangement.

Ok in reference to the argument that just took place here... This version is not in the game. There are versions that sound close to it, but it is not this version. There is a speedier version when you fight beatrix, a much slower version during her more emotional scenes and I'm sure I even remember a bouncy version during one of the optional scenes. THIS was not played for the game, it was made solely as a bonus for the soundtrack, just like all the other FF piano collections. Lovely though. :3

@teastainedbanjo Actually, there are only two versions of this song, excluding this piano rendition. There's the slow version, which is played during cutscenes involving her. Then a rendition of it and a mix of Steiner's theme when they fight together later in the game. Her battle theme is an entirely different composition called Sword of Doubt.

[teastainedbanjo]

@IfTheBannersFall Meh. The tune was still based on her theme song, it was just torn appart and reformed to make it more exciting. It has a different name but only in the same way Sanctuary and Passion by Utada Hikaru have different names. It's still based on the original theme and for me, that's good enough to count as a third arrangement. (Though I guess you could call it more of a Remix than an Arrangement.)

@je9999L Ohhh!! I see what you mean now!! I looked it up just now to make sure and the version you and I are thinking of is called "Protecting my Devotion" also known as Beatix theme song! :0

[bananasluv]

@je9999L Believe me, it's in the game.. Take it from someone who's beaten this game over 5 times (No joke!) XD Just look up Rose of May in a non-piano version and I'm sure you'll recognize it since it sounds quite different!

[animeniac937]

@je9999L of course it is. just listen from 0:22 onwards. it's when you get on the Red Rose (?) with Queen Brahne, and some other parts with Beatrix.

Una de mis favoritas melodias. Una Rosa de Mayo...

[Galvanizer67]

My favorite tune in the game. This version sounds great, too!
