Evening folks!! Coming at ya with yet another XVI track and grateful to the multiple people who sternly warned me not to listen to this whole thing in its entirety until I reached it in-game, because oh boy did I ever get the context wrong on this one LMAO 😂 anyways, no spoilers until the PC people get their port in 2024, all I'll say about this is that arranging it was a ROYAL pain in the ass because of course I had to stick the vocal line in the midrange and subject myself to voicing hell for many days with my brain breaking as the main melody would cross hands multiple times in unintuitive places, plus also subjected myself to more fast two octave leaps than I would have liked but for some reason I am ALWAYS DOING THIS TO MYSELF so...yeah. what else is new lol.

Also interesting to note the XVI OST doesn't seem to have an obvious flagship theme like Somnus, To Zanarkand, Melodies of Life, The Promise, so I guess this theme would be a good contender as it recurs many times in the game in various forms as Jill's theme, though there are a few other very good contenders as well (Find the Flame, etc). Very possible the devs themselves consider Find the Flame as the flagship theme, since they released that during the promo period. FFXII didn't exactly have a single flagship theme either, come to think of it.

Anyways, I have possibly one or two more XVI tracks in me then it's back to my based PS1 era 90s content lmao, unless Xenoblade 3 takes my brain hostage, which it kinda already has lol, i'm having such a blast with it and LOVING THE CAST SO MUCH!!! ❤️ Thankfully I am only 25% tempted by Baldur's Gate 3 lol....last one I played was Dark Alliance and tbh it was a lot of fun to play with my husband co-op, so I might pick up BG3 on sale later on for the sake of my backlog 😂 anyways, as always, thanks so much in for listening to my stuff and reading my long winded descriptions lol, have a nice evening everyone!! ❤️
