Other than the obvious remark that this version is better than the FDS one and that it's incredibly iconic, I have nothing more to say honestly. I just wonder, how did the composers came up with this song? I often ponder about how such genius and catchy melodies can be created, it clearly shows inspiration from classical music, aswell as terror movie scores, but it's uniqueness is something to behold.
@Omio99992 жыл бұрын
The classical inspiration is a clever tie to Fugue's style, if I'm not mistaken, which includes the Funeral March that everyone knows all-too-well. The tie is there to create a symbolic tie to several catholic symbols, without getting *too* verbose about it, allowing the flexibility for the rest of the song. The lighthearted treble line is well-complimented by dark undertones, each being representative of the sides in play - Simon's lighter, treble side using the rhythmic drive to push forward with a (mostly clear - he has human moments) purpose, while the darker side maintains the subtle conniving to keep the listener on their toes, and not easily resolve on any one key. There's a bit more involved, I think, but it would absolutely enter the territory of "stretching" - and I intend to take care of that in the morning.

While it is primitive, the NES seems to work well for songs that would translate nicely to rock or metal or jazz. This is a neat rock track of the 80s, Mt. Itoi is a nice death metal track, the Mario series is known for jazz, etc. It is probably because the harshness of the soundfonts of the NES work well as a guitar sound equivalent, and the fact that NES songs had to rely on catchy phrases to create interesting music because it could not be so complex paralleled how jazz/rock/metal did those very same things. Though admittedly Mysidia Tower in Final Fantasy 2 does have a neat mystical effect, and plenty of song can be happy and like pop. It’s just that the most popular seem to be like jazz, rock, metal or mystical.
