Terra's Theme for the Magitek Predator? (Suggestion)

I just found it odd that after completing the Magiteknical Difficulties that the Magitek Armor got Terra's theme but not the Predator.

The Magitek predator is an exact remake of the Magitek Armor in FFVI, a machine model that Terra herself piloted in the beginning of the game. It's something she is genuinely connected with.

I really love FFVI and It's kind of upsetting that the Magitek Predator didn't get Terra's Theme as well.

Maybe both of them can have Terra's Theme? :o

Terra's theme or the Battle theme from FFVI. <3

Didn't she ride in the Reaper?

She piloted a Magitek Armor that is now known as the Predator in FFXIV alongside Biggs and Wedge in FFVI. :3

Hmm I guess you're right. That is a predator. The art work of her always shows her in a reaper though. Odd lol

I been playing Final Fantasy since the NES, Even translated reproduction copies of the Final Fantasy games that never came out.

Hironobu Sakaguchi never liked the original designs and preferred the Reaper which is why Terra is seen with the Reaper so much in artwork. It's been a while but I don't even think the reaper makes an appearance in FFVI at all...

I agree, it's why I dislike the FF Wiki as they've systemactically replaced images for the original NES/SNES versions with screenshots from the smartphone ports... but I digress.

I can sort of understand why the Avenger does not have Terra's Theme, as the reason we got it for the original magitek armour, is because SE actually re-enacted the opening to FFVI specifically with the reaper (piloted by a hyur woman with green hair to boot) as a trailer for the game back during the Beta test, so it made sense to add it as mount music for it.

The Avenger on the other hand, has a big fat Garlean logo emblazoned across the front so despite the design originating in FFVI, that one is very much Garlean and not Gesthalian, thus Terra's Theme wouldn't fit it - Imperial Will or Steel Reason would be a much better choice.

Imperial Will or Steel Reason... Yeah, This I can see! I mean, when I look at the Predator? I just get nostalgia for FFVI. Remembering Terra, Biggs, and Wedge attacking Narshe to steal a powerful esper...It just seems fitting for a FFVI song, like the battle theme! The Banisher was my favorite skill on the Magitek Armors <3

Imperial Will would be a good mount theme.

I always assumed that the Terra WAS riding around in a Reaper. The "Predator" was just the devs (understandable) inability to adequately represent Amano's art in animated sprite form. (Still image monster sprites tend to be more faithfully rendered.) The same reason why the character sprites tend to look so little like Amano's work.

Basically, saying that Terra's armor is different from magitek armor is like saying Terra herself is a different character than her portrait.

Does FFVI itself ever specifically state that the armors Terra, Biggs, and Wedge were riding around in were a different model than the ones you fight?

Would rather they actually go a different route since the Mogstation Magitek mounts actually use Imperial Will.

I would much rather have it be a song like Imperium or have it be Liberty or Death as those are tied to the Garlean Empire (1.0 Garlean theme and Ala Mhigo dungeon respectively) and would be a better option for the two of them.

I'd like the predator and sky armor to all get it honestly.

The sky armor isn't something Terra was ever shown flying but it is taken from FF VI. So why not?

The Reaper design is from the cutscenes in the PS1 port of FF VI and I think some art work, where as Predator is based on the actual in game design of the FFVI magitek armor, so It'd be neat if they both got it and not just the Reaper.

It's not like they'd need a new song.

On a related note I was sad that the Ultima Beast based in FFVI's Atma Wepaon/Ultima Weapon in fractal continiuem hard didn't get song from the first phase of the Warring Triad fights since in FFVI Atma Weapon and the WT all shared that boss theme.

I believe they indicated somewhere that Amano's artwork is actually based on the sprites.
