In this video, I compare the boss theme “Battle Scene A,” added in the remake of Final Fantasy II, across different versions: WonderSwan, PlayStation (PSP), Game Boy Advance, and Pixel Remaster. I also tried remixing these sound sources together.

About this “Compare & Remix” Series

These videos focus on comparing original game tracks with their versions on other platforms. By remixing (mashing up) the different sound sources, I aim to highlight their unique qualities and discover new sounds. As a basic rule, I only compare music from the same game, as including all versions would be overwhelming and hurt the quality of the remix. Thank you for your understanding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why isn’t the PSP source included?
A: It uses the same audio as the PlayStation version, so it’s omitted. The GBA version uses the same arrangement, but with different instrument sounds.

Q: Why not include the mobile (feature phone) app version?
A: I don’t have the means to record from those versions right now, so they’re not included in this video. For reference, some apps are pre-installed on these phones:
P900i ⇒ FF1 / P901i ⇒ FF2 / 941P ⇒ FF4 / N900i ⇒ DQ1 / N901i ⇒ DQ2 / F-01B, F-04B, N-02B, P-01B, SH-01B ⇒ DQ3 (demo version only)

Q: Why aren’t other versions included?
A: In most cases, they just reuse existing sound sources, so they’re left out.
