♫RAID ON DOLLET (Final Fantasy VIII Demo) SNES Arrangement - NintendoComplete
This is my arrangement of "Raid on Dollet" a track written by Nobuo Uematsu for Square's 1998 Playstation game Final Fantasy VIII. I have arranged it for native playback on SNES hardware, and the audio was recorded directly from a launch-model SNES console.
This track only ever appeared in the demo version of Final Fantasy VIII, apparently because someone realized it was a bit too close to Hans Zimmers' theme from The Rock. The replacement track was named "The Landing" on the official game soundtrack.
I liked the song they put in the release version of the game, but I much preferred this one. It always struck me as much more dramatic and exciting. It also struck me as a song that would sound good if it had been in a SNES FF game, and so I figured I'd just give it a try for myself.
