Holy Zalbags!

Jean-Marc Giffin

6 minutes • January 13, 2017

Hitoshi Sakimoto, the composer for Final Fantasy Tactics, has referenced progressive rock bands as part of his musical influences. The game features an exclusively orchestrated soundtrack, however you can hear these prog rock influences throughout.

This prompted me to think: what if Sakimoto had gone with an entirely 70s-style Yes-inspired soundtrack for FFT instead? Is this what it would have sounded like?
