Hey, would you look at that. It's been over a year since I got a bullshit copyright strike on MuseScore for my transcription of To Zanarkand (exactly as it is heard in Final Fantasy X), which is a score you cannot find anywhere on the internet. It is a meticulous by-ear transcription that several people have referred to as "the most accurate transcription [they've] heard" based on the version in-game, which is compositionally distinct from any "official" sheet music sources published since the game came out.
So if you want the most accurate transcription of "To Zanarkand" you're probably ever going to find on the internet, here you go: mediafire link because fuck you musescore
this transcription got me into grad school for composition so. trust
I can totally accept that Final Fantasy XVI didn't win some of its BAFTA nominations tonight but the fact that it's music didn't even get a nomination is what shocked me.
Final fantasy music has been consistently brilliant. From the start. There are soo many incredible pieces from first to last, some of which are absolutely iconic now.
In commemoration of its amazing roster of pieces, here, have a few suggestions free on me. I'm sure you'll agree some of these are brilliant.
Preorders have opened for FFIX Zine, and I can finally share some snippets of the work I did for it. I am so beyond ecstatic about this. Here’s a preview of one of the 3 arrangements I did for the zine, Mt. Gulug, also ft. my friend Lucas Bere on flute!
I’m really in love with all of the work everyone has done for this zine and I’m personally really proud of what I accomplished for it. This game means so much to me and I definitely put my all into these pieces. It’s really, really exciting to see it all come together!!
The Final Fantasy series has a fantastic range of music across its sixteen (plus a few dozen spin offs) instalments. I’ve recently been listening to the soundtrack for one of my personal favourites, Final Fantasy X, where the very soul of the game is captured in one of the very first pieces of music you hear.
Prelude is the closest thing Final Fantasy has to a theme song, given how more often…
