Final Fantasy IV
The first game in the series to be released on the SNES, Final Fantasy IV was actually known as Final Fantasy II in the West for some time, as II and III were originally Japan-only releases. Huge in terms of cast, scope and world size, the game is one of the franchise's best, and sees the dark knight Cecil turn on his homeland of Baron when it is taken over by the ruthless Golbez, who seeks to engineer the end of the world through the collection of crystals and uses Cecil's best friend Kain and love interest Rosa as part of his schemes. The undying love that many fans have for the game resulted in an almost constant stream of remakes throughout the mid noughties. These tracks are the ones featured in said remakes, remastered from their SNES originals.
The Final Battle Given that he doesn't appear until the very end of the game, Zemus (and his final form, Zeromus), doesn't get the opportunity to make much of an impact as a villain. The music that scores the battle against him, however, has an instant impact, being a rollercoaster ride from start to finish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUGoPBQmVVs
Theme Of Love Final Fantasy IV was the first game to feature a love story between two playable characters. Though said story wasn't brilliant and felt like an afterthought in places, this musical theme that Cecil and Rosa share is nothing short of sublime. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h2V8CFtGZE
The Lunarians Given that they are a mysterious race, you'd expect the Lunarians to have a mysterious theme. Said theme does not disappoint, intriguing the ears throughout its runtime. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjfOGpByqSQ
The Red Wings From Baron rather than Detroit, the Red Wings of Final Fantasy IV not only have an excellent name, but an excellent theme to go with it, which comes across as both authoritative and ruthless. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iriyIrK9e14
Four Emperors Minions of Golbez named Scarmiglione, Cagnazzo, Barbariccia, Rubicante appear throughout the game's narrative to battle the player's party. This piece makes them stand out greatly from their regular boss counterparts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvJkKwk8qYE
