This album is a combination of Seiken Densetsu’s Original Soundtrack and the Let Thoughts Ride on Knowledge album.
When you have 4 channels and a very limited sound chip to work with, you really have to work at it to pull off a truly remarkable soundtrack, and that’s exactly what Ito has done with Final Fantasy Adventure. Able to string together memorable, emotional melodies with the little technology available, his music brought that added life to the game and immersed the player in the story, with upbeat tracks such as “Battle 2”, the ever popular “Endless Battlefield”, and the always present “Rising Sun”.
Taking the already strong and evoking melodies created by Ito, Takayuki Hattori applies the magic of classical orchestration and takes them to new heights. Taking many of the main themes from the game, he forms “chapters” that weave the story together, and achieves perfect transitions between each melody that comprises the piece, telling the tale beautifully. Of a particularly worthy mention is the arrangement of “Mana’s Mission” which includes a lead non-lyrical vocal that fits the piece perfectly with the feeling of the melody, and remains one of my favourite Seiken Densetsu tunes.
