[@spiralgodking9877]

Definitely, always give respect to the origins of a series. And honor the groundwork it created for the rest of the series.

[@rezahydra]

One of the reasons 14 has blown me away is how it handles classic FF. Hell a whole raids series based off FF8’s summon Eden that even has a unique take on the whole of 8’s plot.

[@ryancestari]

The classics are better than the lately released

[@Ghalion666]

F6's music is better than 4's overall, but 4 is the better game imo. Dont even get me started on kefka as a villain. Dude is a exaggerated saturday cartoon villain, how do people think that's epic writing. argh. Not that 4's villain is a masterpiece either, but nobody claims it is like they do kefka.

"Oh this must be an old remix popping up in my feed..." This track felt amazing to play in Theatrhythm and I love Hyadain's version. This remix is just as awesome. Thank you!

[@bencarrington3743]

I'm hoping someone's making a mashup with this and Hyadain's "Four Fiends" theme as we speak. Badass remix though.

[@BruceBoyde]

Oh my god, I was hoping someone mentioned this. I haven't even played FF4 but got introduced to the music from it specifically via that version 13 years ago or whatever. It's kind of insane remembering that KZbin has been around for 17 years now and I'm just getting old.

[@josephkrick2793]

Finally! Fantastic metal renditions of my favorite songs from Final Fantasy series. If it's not too much to ask, can you guys do "Maybe I'm a Lion" from Final Fantasy VIII. I have yet to hear an acceptable metal version of this song yet.

[@justinjones1475]

Yes! With FFXIV endwalker introducing them and Golbez this is perfect timing

[@imptwins]

Oh this RIPS. THIS IS SO GOOD. You conveyed that feeling of hopeless odds so well that's really unique to this theme as far as FF battle themes go. Absolutely sick cover.

[@civilwildman]

Fact: Here are the weaknesses of the Four Fiends in the original 2D versions of the game. Scarmiglione/Milon Z: Fire and healing magic Cagnazzo/Kainazzo: Lightning/electrical damage Barbariccia/Valvalis: Lightning element (SNES and PS1 port bug) or Holy element (at least in the rematch in the Giant of Babil) Rubicante/Rubicant: Water or Ice element (at least when his cape is open, otherwise he absorbs water)

[@LilyKazami]

Other weaknesses in the SNES version include: Milon Z: Arrows Kainazzo: Ice, before Waves are up Rubicant: Anti-Mage weapons (Giant of Babil rematch only)

Looks like your "one Final Fantasy song a year" quota has been met, assuming Final Fantasy Mystic Quest doesn't count... Regardless of Doom Castle, though, Jonny always knows how to bring the epicness out of Nobuo Uematsu's work, and this is no different. I may have been listening to BIG SHOT nonstop for the past week, but I might change things up with this song now!

Maybe it would be too much too ask, but the Mystic quest boss theme would be swell.

[@meischoice]

Glad you used the PSP Version of the game footagein the background. PSP version is the best version, imo.

[@TheGavtel]

Here's a possible option for a Gametal remix from a sister series to Castlevania: Getsu Fuma Den (more specifically the sequel Undying Moon, set 1000 years after the original with a different Fuma (the original is the 1st clan leader, while the one we play as in Undying Moon is the 28th and some of the other leaders are / will be playable)). Spoilers ahead: Towards the end of the game, the second last boss, Getsu Rando (the brother of the current Fuma, now possessed after he was killed), has a multiple phase boss battle. The first theme is Radiant Golden Thunder, which plays until you clear the first health bar and goes into the mid-phase cutscene. A dark energy flows into Rando, turning him into a demon and the Wave Sword in the background held by the original clan leader (now turned to stone when he tried to seal away the demon at the bottom of Hell, in exchange for his freedom) starts resonating with the player. They pick up the blade and stab the sky in the same pose as the original clan leader in the original, before being powered up by it, while the 1st leader crumbles to dust as the seal had weakened to that point. The second phase plays the classic map theme: Go! Getsu Fuma (called Onwards! Getsu Fuma in the game's soundtrack). tl:Dr- I think Getsu Fuma Den: Undying Moon's second last boss themes ("Radiant Golden Thunder" and "Onwards! Getsu Fuma" could make for a great Gametal remix).

The timing could not be better! FFXIV has hinted at both Golbez and the Four Archfiends. With it being FFXIV, they will have a new story about them. On the other hand, I remember the Golbez fight on the DS version of FFIV. That was pure hell. That whole game was harder than the Evil-type rom hack! So imagine my surprise when I get the FFIV Complete Collection for the PSP and it was not soul-crushingly difficult. Felt like a different game altogether.
