Today, Scarlet Moon Records announced the release of its tribute album to Final Fantasy IV, Guitar Collections Final Fantasy IV, today on digital platforms. The album contains 12 tracks based off of Nobuo Uematsu’s legendary score for the original game.
“FINAL FANTASY, and particularly FINAL FANTASY IV, has always been special to me,” explains Scarlet Moon Records producer Jayson Napolitano. “I wanted to celebrate the franchise in the same way Square Enix does with their Piano Collections series, and the performances from William Carlos Reyes exceeded expectations. The arrangements capture all the magic of Nobuo Uematsu’s original compositions while adding new emotional depth that I think every fan will appreciate. Let’s make Guitar Collections FINAL FANTASY a series, as I personally can’t wait to hear FINAL FANTASY V and VI done up in the same fashion!”
The tender “Theme of Love,” the warm and soothing “Welcome to Our Town!,” and the anxiety-inducing final dungeon theme, “Within the Giant,” are featured alongside an original composition by Reyes inspired by FINAL FANTASY IV titled “The Crystals.” The full track list is as follows:
01. Main Theme of FINAL FANTASY IV
02. Theme of Love
03. Welcome to Our Town!
04. Fight 2
05. Rydia
06. Melody of Lute
07. Golbeza Clad in the Dark
08. Troian Beauty
09. Illusionary World
