Final Fantasy 5 Epic Orchestral Medley

This is my Epic Orchestral Medley for Final Fantasy 5 for the SNES. I'm not sure which parts I like the best, but I think the cave theme, desert theme or Dragon riding theme might be my favourites. The Prelude of Empty Skies was incredibly fun to make. I have a secret love of machine music, and using nothing but raw orchestral samples to recreate the noises of computers and mechanical devices was incredibly fun and somewhat challenging. I had a similar kind of fun recreating Magitek Research Facility back when I did the FF6 medley. :D Anyway, let me know what you think of this medley. It's the longest and (technically) the last in my FF series. No more were officially planned (I only ever technically intended to do 1-10 + Tactics) BUT I have decided to do another FF6 one as well as a FF11 one and (MAYBE) another FF7 one. Of course... Chrono Trigger got started about a month or two ago, so that might be coming sooner.
Here is a list of all the tracks included in this remix:
A Presentiment
Four Valiant Hearts
Dear Friends
The Land Unknown
Unknown Lands
Fate in a Haze
Beyond the Deep Blue Sea
Walking the Snowy Mountains
The Ancient Library
Cursed Earth
We're Pirates/Pirates Ahoy
Intention of the Earth
Mu/The Prelude of Empty Skies
Home Sweet Home
Lenna's Theme
Dragon Spreads its Wings
Royal Palace
Ahead on Our Way
Music Box Theme

I've finally completed giant medleys for FF1-10. This is my FF5 Epic Orchestral Medley!

[@icheckinn7016]

You doin great!

[@capntinwhistle]

YAARRR, the algorithm brings favorable breezes to me sails! FF5 is a masterpiece - thank you for this tribute!

[@GUNDAMURX73]

As an avid FF5 fan, I can't believe I'm only just now discovering this! This is awesome!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks. ^^ More FF5 stuff to come.

[@nemurerumori3485]

Revisited this for the fifth time, so I'd thought I'd drop a message for you: Thank you for putting such wonderful energy into the soundtrack of my most favorite Final Fantasy. You thoroughly captured the spirit of adventure.

[@BlackWingedSeraphX]

This "Dragon Spreads it's wings" version may be my favorite of all time !

[@RebeccaETripp]

:'O Thank you!

[@Renson103]

I've been working on a Final Fantasy retrospective for a few months now, and I always make sure to listen to your Orchestral Medleys as I start to wrap up writing. They're absolutely brilliant.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you so much! ^_^ That means a lot to me! I'm glad they get you into that flowing FF mindset!

[@Year2047]

While I don't think it is the best FF Game it is my absolute favorite. Great job RebeccaETrip!

[@RebeccaETripp]

FF5!

[@mooglemaster17]

Amazing as always, I can always count on one of your songs to make me feel better when I'm having a bad night :)

[@RebeccaETripp]

[@MadameTeqi]

Found you searching for Chrono Trigger music, but this medley is the one bringing me to tears. Thank you for sharing your gifts

[@RebeccaETripp]

[@RebeccaETripp]

I'm having a live orchestra perform my Chrono Trigger arrangements soon, as it happens! ^_^ If you want to see the performance, there will be a livestream! facebook.com/events/174216413297453/?active_tab=about There's the event in case you're curious! I'm trying to spread the word! :D If this is successful, then there's a chance that all my medleys might get performed!

[@orochi_8671]

so good, specially " the prelude of empty skies", i love it :D

[@RebeccaETripp]

+orochi_86 Thank you.

[@erkhardtify]

Dear friends and Cave theme are my faves!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you! ^^

[@kennydawg4387]

I know it's a little late but honestly this and your ffiv orchestra medley are my favorite things in the world. I listen to this when I work or study and even when I'm trying to go to sleep it really calms me thank you so much

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Kenny Dawg Thank you so much, Kenny! That means the world to me. ^_^ Ever heard my Zelda or Chrono ones?

[@RebeccaETripp]

I'm having a live orchestra play my work soon, as it happens! ^_^ If you want to see the performance, there will be a livestream! facebook.com/events/174216413297453/?active_tab=about There's the event in case you're curious! This is for my Chrono Trigger medley, so I'm not sure if it would be your thing or not!

[@wolfsk1n]

Those medleys are just the best background music for doing basically anything. Just super great to give your thoughts a little creative spin while doing so, without distracting you at all. majestic.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks so much! I actually listen to them a lot myself, to be honest. I started making them because I had always wanted something like that to exist.

[@200ike]

Do you orchestrate battle themes? D:

[@RebeccaETripp]

200ike I have a ton of FF battle medleys! :D So there are 45 minutes of battle arrangements to hear on my channel. They're old, though, so they're not as good objectively. Still, I'll be remastering them one day.

[@wolfsk1n]

Have you actually ever considered collaborating with some (indie?) gamedevs, to make an original video game soundtrack? I'm sure many of them would consider themselves lucky to get such an awesome score! :)

[@RebeccaETripp]

wolfsk1n Thanks! And yes, I have, indeed. I've done around 100 tracks for games that never got finished or went anywhere, haha!

[@michaelsfmalau9059]

Ahhhh very nostalgic.... I remember when i beat neo shinryuu

[@RebeccaETripp]

Nice! He is hard.

[@89Unai]

I love all of them, but this one is definitely my favourite :D

[@RebeccaETripp]

It's my favorite of my FF medleys also. ^^

[@Axdell]

I really like your works. They're very good for relaxing and getting drowned in nostalgia. I like the smooth transitions. Something about it really sounds soft too. It's helping against my stress. Thank you for this. I sincerely hope you get more likes and all, because I think you deserve it.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you.

[@buckbowie6694]

Amazing! nice work with the composition! FFV is one of the best FF's! ;D

[@RebeccaETripp]

Buck Bowie I totally agree. FF5 is in my top 4!

[@Soundole]

I just got around to listening to this. Lovely writing as always Rebecca!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Soundole VGM Covers Thanks. ^_^

[@LaRoseFairy]

Your works are always amazing my dear and this medley is really precious to me. I like so much your Unknown lands, Fate in a haze (oh dear, this one is magical as for Beyond the deep blue sea and for Intention of the earth) Love your Cursed earth and Pirates ahoy... I could continue like this forever~ You included my fav tracks in the end (what a coincidence): Home sweet home~Ahead on our way. Soo you may guess which part in your medley is my fav :P but if I have to choose one, it would be Dragon spreads its wings ♥ Thx for this medley series and congrats on finishing them all *clap clap*

[@RebeccaETripp]

La Rose Fairy Thank you, and you're welcome! ^_^ Thanks for listening to them all. ♥ I'm probably going to do a couple more. Another FF6 one, and FF11.

[@thallessorrilhameirabarros3786]

Algum BR escutando essa obra-prima? Thank you Rebecca! Wonderful song!

[@allanpoecoruja4146]

Sim, amigo.

[@sergiorenanable]

I haven't checked all your Final Fantasy medleys yet, but I love this one. I listen to it every day since I found it. My favourite songs are A Presentiment, Beyond the Deep Blue Sea, Lenna's Theme and Unknown Lands; what a great version of Unknown Lands. I wish you made a full version of it.

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Sergio Reis Hey! Thanks for your input. ^_^ I will make a full version of UNknown Lands eventually, just for you, haha! I love the song. Honestly, I consider this to be my best FF medley in terms of quality. I guess 3 and 9 are runners up. Anyway, I appreciate the feedback. :)

[@sergiorenanable]

+RebeccaETripp A full version of Unknown Lands dedicated to me? That would make me really happy :)

[@RebeccaETripp]

Sergio Reis ^_^ I'm glad! It's on the list now.

[@ChrystalChameleon]

I was waiting for you to do FF5, it's one of my favorite Final Fantasy's and has a great soundtrack as well! Love the instrumentation for Dear Friends, The Land Unknown and Cursed Earth - and Home Sweet Home sounds absolutely beautiful

[@RebeccaETripp]

ChrystalChameleon ^_^ That's a nice comment to read, thank you. I put a lot of thought into instrumentation.

[@RebeccaETripp]

ChrystalChameleon I didn't mention this in my first reply for some reason, but instrumentation is one of the things that most impresses me in your work.

[@cennyaleid]

I came because your Majora's Mask vid was featured on facebook, but your Final Fantasy mixes are just as good! Keep up the good work

[@RebeccaETripp]

LadyLayrion Thank you so much! :D I have a passion for video game soundtracks, and I'm guessing you do as well. I have others planned, such as Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana and Skyrim.

[@cennyaleid]

RebeccaETripp Ah! All really awesome choices! I'm looking forward to hearing them~ this has become our new working music for our studio~ thank you!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Glad to hear it! :3 What kind of studio have you got?

[@cennyaleid]

RebeccaETripp An art studio~ we are hard at work on our first original story! So everyone likes to focus with relaxing music and this and everything else you create is spot on :)

[@RebeccaETripp]

Wonderful! I was hoping it was an art studio. ^_^

[@larissasantana8945]

It was amazing! This soundtrack brings me good nostalgic memories, really thanks!

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Larissa Cristina You're most welcome! ^_^ FF5 is a rather under-appreciated game. It's nice to find other people who love it as much as I do!

[@larissasantana8945]

+RebeccaETripp Exactly! I think the game has not become so popular because of translation into other languages, which only became available much later ... But still hope looking forward to a 3D remake it so richly deserves FFV FFVI :D

[@RebeccaETripp]

Larissa Cristina I share your desire. I want a remake of FF6 much more badly than any of the other titles. Remember how much enrichment and story was added to the DS remakes of 3 and 4? If 5 got the same treatment, I think it could arguably be the best Final Fantasy. The story is so good, just the sparseness of it (When compared with 4 and 6) make people forget about it. And, of course, it's got one of the most gorgeous world settings and soundtracks, and one of the best class systems in the entire franchise.

[@camello321]

+Larissa Cristina i want a remake of this game too , ill be happy with at least a remake similar to the ff4 remake on ds but for 3ds itll be so wesome, im in love with this game

[@davidbinfield923]

Your music is phenomenal. I genuinely listen to it most days.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you! :'D

[@davidbinfield923]

Did you ever play Legend of Dragoon, Rebecca? If so, please please please give us an epic LoD orchestra medley?

[@looken4thachewin331]

i love this thank you soooo much!!!!!!!

[@RebeccaETripp]

^_^ Thanks for your comment.

[@PaulFarrerMusic]

Wow! Incredible as always m'dear!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Paul Farrer Thanks, Paul!

[@alessiog8458]

FF V had the best soundtrack in the series. Very malinchonic, poetic and intimistic. FFIX had a great soundtrack too, but FF V is few better.

[@RebeccaETripp]

I'm always so happy when people honour the FF5 OST! It's spectacular! Definitely top tier! I think it shares a slot with 4, 6 and 9 in terms of soundtrack, personally.

[@CanalDeMusicaMusicChannel]

My favorite score from final Fantasy 5, is "Beyond the deep blue sea"

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Biggus “Maximus” Dickus That's certainly a beautiful one. There is a similar feeling on in FF3.

[@Esfenoides93]

I Haven´t heard your music in a while, you keep beeing as aweome as always Rebecca :D

[@Esfenoides93]

***** I hope to keep listening to your fantastic music for more Rebecca , i really think you are a really talented girl/woman/unicorn and you need to keep it doing as great as always

[@RebeccaETripp]

***** Thanks. :) I appreciate the feedback.

[@Magrail1982]

Simply put, a joy to listen to!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Magrail1982 ^_^ Thank you.

[@TheCreepypro]

yet another amazing medley I especially like your take on the fire ship and the library maybe one day if you haven't already you could do longer versions of those when you have the time also I find it very interesting that you didn't do battle on the big bridge I would love to know the thought process behind not including it and/or why you did include the songs you did if I'm not asking for too much?

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks! This is actually my favourite of the FF medleys I've created. There is definitely an intensive process that goes into this. I've talked about it at length in interviews and making-of videos already, actually! I can sum it up by saying that I want to tell a story through song, and choose the song order based on thematic, musical, philosophical and aesthetic considerations. Sometimes I want similar sounding stuff that flows well, sometimes I want starker transitions, and sometimes I want to draw out/emphasize previously understated connections/patterns.

[@MasterXIII13]

Fantastic!

[@deavonw]

You are simply amazing!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you! ^_^

[@Dinosaurs_with_laser_guns]

I never fell for ff v back in the day, I don’t remember why. I liked iv and vi better. But I remember ff v had a very special vibe (they all do really). Maybe I will revisit ff v some day.

[@RebeccaETripp]

It's a treasure!

[@Dinosaurs_with_laser_guns]

@@RebeccaETripp I subbed btw :)

[@liquidladdy]

Awesome!

[@Omnishredder]

what song in the medley is your favourite?, also if anyone thinks the dragon spreads it's wings is amazing in the medley, like this just because you can

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks!! Actually, The Dragon Spreads Its Wings might be my favorite bit, also. It's between that and Four Valiant Hearts, I think- but I'm not sure. I poured so much love into this one. It's actually my favorite of my FF medleys.

[@Axdell]

It is indeed grand, huh? Kinda like a dragon is literally spreading its wings in front of you.

[@AM-zk7jm]

So nostalgic ~ Well done :)

[@RebeccaETripp]

[@diarandor]

Your remastered versions are great! :D Do you think you could remaster the ost of "Treasure of the Rudras"? ("Rudora no Hihou" in Japanese) It's one of my favourite JRPGs of the Snes, not very well known because it was never released outside of Japan, but its ost is really amazing.

[@NewComTM]

So beautiful

Thanks. ^_^

Bien Jolie Good game

[@DGTL_MRKT]

Hey RebeccaETripp, an msu_1 hack of Final Fantasy 5 is in the works from the individuals over at Zeldix. I was curious of two things: Could I use pieces of this, and is there any chance of you orchestrating the remaining tracks? I think your work is great, and would love to hear it while I play Final Fantasy 5.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Hello, Ian! I'm really glad you enjoy my versions of these themes! I have a few other FF5 tracks on my channel if you haven't seen them, which are standalones (some of which aren't in this medley). :) You can use any of my existent FF5 material as long as you credit me, but I'm afraid I won't really have time to do a remaster on that scale (at least not for free). It would be a massive undertaking which could take months.

[@DGTL_MRKT]

@@RebeccaETripp Understood. Good God Bless your creative efforts. You really do make some beautiful arrangements, no bs.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you!

[@Geekanomicon]

FF V was a tragic non-release to the US, but then along came the Playstation and we got to play them all.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Geekanomicon I was so happy to get them. ^_^ The playstation was an important part of my life, haha.

[@adamsuniverse]

This is absolutely phenomenal! I'm a big fan of this game and I LOVE your take on its music. Do I have your permission to use these covers for an audio drama project I'm working on? I'll be sure to credit you.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Sure! :D Send me a link when you're done.

[@rebeccatripp36]

Did you ever complete the project?

[@SolstaceWinters]

N-no Gilgamesh theme? But... we were gonna listen to music as men... and ladies... and ladies who dress as men? We were going to forgo expository banter!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Haha! I hope you enjoyed it!

[@natsutosegawa6233]

excellent!!!😍🎶👍👍✨✨

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks! ^_^

[@kimmiita]

lots of good video but why there are not many views?

[@RebeccaETripp]

+KalamitY 1995 Thank you- and don't worry. That's changing. ;)

[@ctrlaltQQ]

Since battle with gilgamesh (battle on big bridge) is missing, will you do a separate track (standalone) for it?

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Muse Box Corner Already on the list. :) I also have a version of it in one of my FF battle medleys.

[@andresarribas4129]

Amazing as always, but... Where's Gilgamesh?

[@RebeccaETripp]

Surprisingly, you're the first person to ask that! I half expected that to be the very first comment on this medley! I just didn't didn't want to put it in. Don't ask me why, as I love the theme and all... It just felt complete as it was.

[@brenoldt]

why no Harvest? my fav song =( congrats for the work!

[@RebeccaETripp]

+brenoldt Thanks! It's one of my favorites, too! I included it in my FF town themes medley, and it'll also be in a Celtic FF themes medley later on. :)
