Passed over localization during 16-bit era, the fifth mainline Final Fantasy title keeps Nobuo Uematsu as composer, with the opening theme, "Ahead on Our Way," serving as a linchpin for much of the soundtrack, given several remixes in different moods. It does feature the main theme and prelude common to most entries of the series, and some tracks, such as the battle theme for the main antagonist, Exdeath, seem to take inspiration from other composers such as Dragon Quest musician Koichi Sugiyama, and there are nods to classical composers such as Georges Bizet. This is definitely what a soundtrack should be, given the central theme, and is recommended listening for fans of videogame music.
