My friend Joe, over at the Raving Luhn, wrote a piece titled The Siren Song of Gaming Music. At the end of the article, he asks, “What are your favorite video game soundtracks?” For me, I’m going to cheat and mention a single track: Florence + The Machine’s rendition of Stand By Me, at the beginning of Final Fantasy XV (starts at 1:00 mark). So good!
How about you?
As someone not versed in anything Final Fantasy, everything about that video was bizarre. Moderately alluring, but bizarre.
That’s why I love it! Game is essentially The Lion King with a bro-trip mixed in. Sooo good.
