The new Arvale game is well underway and now has its main battle music finished.
Along with the Overworld music, the Battle music is one the most important themes in the game (as it will be heard many, many, many, many times). As with Arvale 1’s battle theme, this music gives a big nod to 植松さんの (Uematsu)’s work in the earlier Final Fantasy’s (and touches of 光田さん from Chrono Trigger). That is, a brash, fanfarish trumpet melody, tense strings, complex bass guitar, and a solid rock beat. I can easily imagine Duncan slashing monsters (or killing garden weeds) to this. What can you imagine?

Thanks for listening! Next up, Boss music and then on to Town themes 🙂
