Old Game Plus

Though we have completed the game at this point, we shift topics for one episode before our conclusion.  We have guest Nathaniel Chapman on to discuss the music of Final Fantasy 6 with us.  Topics include leitmotif, Final Fantasy battle music, the differences between NES- and SNES-era musical technology, and the game's climactic piece Dancing Mad. In our next episode in two weeks, we will conclude our discussion on Final Fantasy 6 with Kefka's Tower and our overall thoughts on the game, and we will also announce our next game! As always, you can keep up with any developments on our twitter.   Links relating to this episode: Full FF6 OST, for reference Bird singing Chocobo theme Related to our discussion of Shadow's theme, the Balance and Ruin reinterpretation "A Fistful of Nickels" Dancing Mad, OST version Dancing Mad, Black Mages Michelangelo's Pietà, and the composition of the third statue fight Examples of Kefka sequence in SNES version, with elegant transitions between the four movements of Dancing Mad
