FF2 NES Music - Main Theme

[NeoArashi]

I love how this theme is fitting trhough the whole game. The game begins with the empire invading your hometown and killing your parents, when you accomplish something, there's always shit ruining the ''party'' and even the ending wasn't exactly happy.

New youtube layout? Testing...

Yep this one is much more 'emotional than other FF's. I like it.

~u~ aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh refreshing

[Vaxliscious]

I completely forgot about this song. But I just remembered it a few minutes ago. And now I realize my obsession with the track Cry in Sorrow from IV is because of this song, woops.

[SandopolisZone]

Reminds me a lot the TLOZ Oracles for Game Boy Color!

[piromaniac9999]

I never liked this theme,it also seems a bit depressing.

Besides all,i don't like the melody.

[irishtrash15]

@piromaniac9999 Wouldn't you be depressed if your parents were dead and a madman was trying to rule the world?

[piromaniac9999]

that seems like an excuse,i don't remember that part.

[MAYFLY01]

@irishtrash15 A chap in Germany had a little problem with that lol

[mistydemyx]

is there any possible way i can play this game?

[MAYFLY01]

@mistydemyx Of course, there's the PSX, GBA and PSP remakes out there. But if you mean specifically the NES version, you can download an NES emulator (there's loads of sites to get them from) and download a Final Fantasy 2 english fan translation ROM from the web aswell. I use an emulator called FCEUX, and I get ROMS from a site called CoolROM. So you'll be able to play the NES version of Final Fantasy II on your computer.

@MAYFLY01 cool thnx

[Luigi84289]

@mistydemyx Don't get the PSX versions unless load times aren't an issue. The best version is the PSP. The GBA is good too but memory limitations make the sound nasaly. I forget the technical term but it is not as broad and booming as the other ports.

So I pretty much can't wait to hear Scott Pilgrim play the bass line from this.

[MisfitChr15]

So I'm a chiptune musician today and it was music like this that touched me so profoundly I could never forget. The original composers that used this medium had to work extra hard to make something interesting. The end result was beautiful melody and structure. It's amazing how 1's and 0's in the form of sound can bring so many visions and feelings.

luv this 8 bit version of the overworld of FF2, it has so much emotion in this music..

[Kerrandrius]

Wow WTF. This melody reappears in the ending cinematic of Final Fantasy IX.

That's so cool.

[EliroX904]

@Kerrandrius

Yep, and did you know the "Pandemonium" theme in IX is a slowed version of "Castle Pandemonium" from this game?

[Kerrandrius]

@EliroX904 Yes, actually. I did.

[loboguerrero9]

good theme

[remain]

Such a sad and emotional overworld theme, especially compared to Final Fantasy 1's happy and adventurous overworld theme:

[isop9021]

honestly, i really can't appreciate 8-bit sounds at all but i actuli quite like this one...

[Luigi84289]

@isop9021 You had to have been there. It was an amazing time. Going to the video store and seeing nothing but nes games and vhs tapes. You'd get a game and actually spend the whole weekend playing what would be considered "ungodly short" nowadays.

[Breaker242]

Dude wtf are you talking about? Most games today you can play through in like 4 hours Oo

[Luigi84289]

@Breaker242 what games have you been playin? Ones I play take forever to finish and unlock everything.
