Zanarkand is, arguably, one of the most haunting pieces of music ever composed for aFinal Fantasygame.
According to Uematsu, “Zanarkand was actually not meant to be the theme forFinal Fantasy 10.
When I wrote the piece, I thought perhaps this sounded a bit too sad for a recital.
So I set it aside for the time being.”
Uematsu went on to describe the theme’s strange route intoFinal Fantasycanon.
So since that flute piece was unused, I just kinda meekly handed it to them.
They listened to it and said ‘Yes!
This is brilliant!"
Uematsu is famous for his towering accomplishments as a video game music composer.
