This is my arrangement of “Mount Ordeals" from Final Fantasy 4. The original song, composed by Nobuo Uematsu, is not only one of my favourite tracks from FF4 OST, but also one of my absolute favourite songs of all time! I've been wanting to create an arrangement of this theme for many years, but felt I couldn't really do it justice. The Mt. Ordeals segment of the game is extremely important to me — I would go as far as to say that it was an extremely formative experience for me. There's a strange, yet beautiful feeling associated with that mountain, and, to a lesser extent, Mt. Hobbs, that I struggle to put into words. In this remix, I tried to create a sense of lurking powers, both good and evil. Magic and mystery, courage and challenge. I wanted to make it sound like the mountain is alive with spirits, magics and histories, and as though the heroes are marching towards the summit. I also tried to include something of a “Lunarian" presence towards the end, for obvious reasons.

I did not create the images used to make the background art. Here are links to the original art/artists:
