Not sure if this has been mentioned before or not, but has anyone noticed that the Ul'dah theme samples Chrono Trigger's main theme? I think it's pretty rad! Sorry, the music nut in me notices these things. :)

It's a bit of a stretch if you ask me :p

Yeah, that is a bit of a stretch, but I can see where you can see some of the similarities.

The movement of the sound IS similar, indeed. I would certainly like to hear word from Soken himself on this matter (although that might be a self-important request).
^_^ go go music nut Xabi Alonso! Keep the revelations playing! -

Not related to what you linked, but I do recall parts of some other songs in ARR having very Mitsuda-like characteristics, as well. Frankly, Yasunori Mitsuda's not a bad composer to take inspiration from, anyway. If anything, like many of us, Soken grew up playing many well-composed games in his lifetime, and has since been artistically influenced by a lot of them (among other sources of inspiration) in a variety of ways.

There's a song that plays in South Shroud that sounds like something from Chrono Trigger, or maybe it was Chrono Cross, not sure.

/bow Thank you guys for the replies. I am so excited and in love with this game all over again and I can't wait to get started. The world feels amazing.
Any chance you can link me to the song? I'd love to take a listen.Quote:

I don't really hear the similarity at all. I've heard one song that reminded me a little of Zelda: ALttP, but I don't remember which it was.
