This is the field BGM that plays in Chapter 5 of Dragon Quest IV.

Matching the sad story of Chapter 5, where the Hero’s village is attacked, the music has a somewhat lonely tone.

This is the battle theme that plays when you face boss-level enemies in Dragon Quest VII: Warriors of Eden.

From the opening, the dissonance and the pounding timpani rolls foreshadow the fierce fight to come and instantly heighten the tension.

It’s not just intense, though—the piece develops into a slightly comical phrase in the latter half, showcasing Koichi Sugiyama’s signature playful touch.

It’s included on the album Symphonic Suite “Dragon Quest VII” Warriors of Eden + Original Soundtrack, released in September 2000.
