Final Fantasy VI Medley - Part 1 (Brendan's Piano #16)

Welcome to another special episode of Brendan's Piano. This time I get to play the soundtrack to Final Fantasy 6, as well as show my appreciation to one of video gaming's best composers, Nobuo Uematsu.
Final Fantasy 6 is a JRPG released by SQUARE and Nintendo in 1994 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Over the years (nearly 3 decades) it has gotten praise for its epic story, larger-than-life characters, time-based battle system, and ruthlessly chaotic villain. Its music is just as revered for how carefully and artistically it's designed, how its main themes evolve throughout the game, and most notably for Dancing Mad, which many consider to be the best final boss music ever made.
