Final Fantasy XVI is pressing all the right buttons with fans so far. Square Enix just invited the media to show off the game in anticipation for its release this summer, and the general consensus is that this next installment is going to be absolutely fantastic. Most players love to see the series returning to its high fantasy roots, and Square Enix is going all in on providing epic nostalgic essentials from the long-running franchise. Final Fantasy XVI even has its own absolutely stunning rendition of the classic victory fanfare, and you definitely need to hear it.
Footage from the demo shows main character Clive engaged in combat with a variety of different enemies. None of them even come close to the showdown he has with Garuda, however. The boss battle is a visual feast, and defeating her lesser sisters gives fans their first taste of the Final Fantasy victory jingle heard here.
As your ears can confirm, the simple theme is now an orchestrated masterpiece complete with resounding vocals to really hammer it home. The music of FFXVI is created by Final Fantasy XIV’s main composer and sound director, Masayoshi Soken. FFXIV has some amazing music, and it is not hard to see why Soken was given the task of delighting our ears for this installment as well.
