Guitar Collections FINAL FANTASY IV Now Available

Live classical guitar performances from FINAL FANTASY IV by The OneUps guitarist William Carlos Reyes to celebrate game’s 27th anniversary

Scarlet Moon Records is thrilled to make available Guitar Collections FINAL FANTASY IV, the first album in their new live classical guitar series featuring performances by guitarist William Carlos Reyes (of The OneUps). Inspired by Square Enix’s own Piano Collections series, Guitar Collections arranges and performs Nobuo Uematsu’s iconic themes from FINAL FANTASY IV to celebrate the game’s 27th anniversary. The album is licensed and available now:

FINAL FANTASY, and particularly FINAL FANTASY IV, has always been special to me,” explains Scarlet Moon Records producer Jayson Napolitano. “I wanted to celebrate the franchise in the same way Square Enix does with their Piano Collectionsseries, and the performances from William Carlos Reyes exceeded expectations. The arrangements capture all the magic of Nobuo Uematsu’s original compositions while adding new emotional depth that I think every fan will appreciate. Let’s make Guitar Collections FINAL FANTASY a series, as I personally can’t wait to hear FINAL FANTASY V and VI done up in the same fashion!”

The tender “Theme of Love,” the warm and soothing “Welcome to Our Town!,” and the anxiety-inducing final dungeon theme, “Within the Giant,” are featured alongside an original composition by Reyes inspired by FINAL FANTASY IV titled “The Crystals.” The full track list is as follows:

  1. Main Theme of FINAL FANTASY IV
  2. Theme of Love
  3. Welcome to Our Town!
  4. Fight 2
  5. Rydia
  6. Melody of Lute
  7. Golbeza Clad in the Dark
  8. Troian Beauty
  9. Illusionary World
  10. Another Moon
  11. Within the Giant
  12. The Crystals (Original)

The above launch trailer features performance footage of five key themes from the album, and those who purchase the album on iTunes or Bandcamp will also receive a 14-page digital booklet including liner notes, an interview with arranger/performer William Carlos Reyes, and recording notes.
