![]() The soundtrack was given a rearrangement under the oversight of original composer Nobuo Uematsu, and you can tell. The nostalgia is deeply entrenched, which made the opening moments of Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster somewhat odd. Likewise, Final Fantasy IV has a sound all its own, and that style is burned into my memories. It’s like how the Quintet games like Actraiser and Soul Blazer have a distinct style. Like a color palette for an artist, it felt like the original game drew from a suite of sounds that intertwined throughout the soundtrack. ![]() The original game has a very definitive sound to it. The remastered opening track carries that same power, but there was something about it that felt off. Final Fantasy IV has what is easily my favorite soundtrack in the series, or at least the one that has stayed with me the most. You get that sense from the very opening notes of the game’s theme music. The changes feel more subtle, like a delightful companion to the original rather than something that feels like a definitively better version. Here, we see the fourth game get that same treatment, although the jump from the SNES is not as drastic. That remaster felt like it completely reinvigorated that game with its gorgeous visuals, stunning take on the soundtrack, and an auto-battle system that made grinding levels and gold so much easier. I went into Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster with very high hopes after playing the original Final Fantasy.
