From this gloomy setting, the piece transitions to the soundtrack's unforgettable main theme. A dark imposing organ solo is used to introduce this theme while not all that enjoyable, it sets the scene for the soundtrack well and introduces a crisis motif that recurs during the game's biggest turning point. It would be fitting to begin the core of this review by discussing just how fantastic the "Opening Theme" is. Nobuo Uematsu has a fine way of communicating with mainstream audiences through his highly accessible music and this soundtrack exemplifies this talent more than any other work. Stretching 16-bit sound quality and the SNES' limited hardware capacity considerably, the album features three discs of memorable themes that mostly develop fully without losing the listener's interest, are always appropriately emotional, and occasionally have highly experimental leanings. It was the completion of a game music revolution that was initiated by Nobuo Uematsu's previous Final Fantasy efforts and saw N Generation Final Fantasy at its very finest.
Outstanding themes are abundant, there is near-perfect musical interpretation of the game's artistic images, and some of the warmest melodies in any game soundtrack feature here. The Final Fantasy VI Original Sound Version is undoubtedly the most consistent Final Fantasy soundtrack and perhaps also the most enjoyable.
