[Video Soundtrack] Julia [FINAL FANTASY VIII]
JuliaUematsu Nobuo

An arrangement of the song “Eyes On Me,” synonymous with Final Fantasy VIII.

It’s a piece tied to a woman named Julia who also appears in the main game.

The gentle, warm melody makes you listen in a blissful daze—so soothing that it almost lulls you to sleep, a track that pleasantly sinks into your ears.

One Winged AngelUematsu Nobuo44rank/position

Just hearing the title “One Winged Angel” (Japanese title: “Kata-Yoku no Tenshi”) sends chills down the spine of any fan.

It’s the theme song of Sephiroth, the breathtakingly beautiful final boss of Final Fantasy VII.

A perfect track for such an overwhelmingly powerful foe—this song alone is enough to make you tremble.

It also appears in the Kingdom Hearts series, and that supreme battle theme never fails to set your heart racing and your excitement soaring—your palms won’t stop sweating on the controller!

Staff RollUematsu Nobuo45rank/position

Along with the Prelude, this is one of Final Fantasy’s signature pieces, used throughout the entire series.

On the URL, the well-known melody starts around 3 minutes 30 seconds, and it was even used in a recent TV commercial.

I feel like I’ve been hearing it more often than before.

Since it plays over the staff roll, you used to only hear it at the ending, so it seemed less well-known than the Prelude.

But lately it’s become a quintessential FF track, and its high level of polish really stands out.

Aerith’s ThemeUematsu Nobuo46rank/position

Among the Final Fantasy series, this is a particularly popular piece.

It’s from VII.

It’s the theme song for the heroine, Aerith, and the music beautifully conveys her harsh, tragic life while also capturing her steadfast spirit that never loses hope.

Since it’s rare for composer Nobuo Uematsu to create character-specific theme songs, the track is also regarded as a rare piece.
