Random: Closing Fantasy 16 Theme Music’s Official Music Video Equal Components Sombre, Melodramatic

Closing Fantasy XVI is at present making a house inside tens of millions of PS5s, even when gross sales seem to have slackened fairly severely in current days. One of many highlights of the sport (we thought) was its soundtrack, and the title’s theme, referred to as “Moongazing”, simply acquired an official music video. Written and carried out by artist Kenshi Yonezu, it is a fairly grim providing, however we suppose that matches with the sport’s extra mature setting.

We cannot faux to know the precise nuance of what is going on on, however all of the melodrama and angst which has made the Closing Fantasy collection beloved by generations of melodramatic, angsty sorts are on full show right here. We aren’t prepared to guage the place this entry falls amongst the pantheon of all-time biggest Closing Fantasy themes simply but, and certain will not be for a while. Such issues bear deliberating on, in spite of everything, with Uematsu’s magnum opus (particularly) ageing like a effective wine.

In a tangentially associated matter, Closing Fantasy XVI is the seventh greatest one (in response to our readers), which is a state of truth unlikely to trigger any dialogue or disagreement in any respect. How are you having fun with XVI now that it has been out within the wild for some time? How do you suppose its theme compares to others within the franchise?
