Now here's a baby I've been meaning to fully arrange for actual -years-, probably a full decade since I'd wanted to do this, and now it's finally here. This is without a doubt the longest uninterrupted piece of music I've ever produced, arrangement or no!

Nobuo Uematsu's four-part symphonic classic Dancing Mad, also known as 妖星乱舞 | Yōsei Ranbu (Wild Dance of a Calamitous Star) is the final boss theme for the extended finale fight of Final Fantasy VI and one of the most revered classics of game music, encompassing a blend of baroque, classical, romantic and modern musical stylings all perfectly blended together in the maestro's original operatic epic. I don't know if I did it justice - that's for you to decide!

This theme follows the climactic struggle against the ascendant Kefka, one of my personal favorite antagonists of all time usually only rivaled by his fellow Final Fantasy villain peers such as Sephiroth and Kuja, though Ardyn from XV has surpassed practically all of them in my own preference. I will never stop loving to hate the clown however - either way, NO VILLAIN WARS IN THE COMMENTS, THIS WILL BE ENFORCED MERCILESSLY! I welcome discussion of all opinions, but the moment anything starts heating up I WILL step in.

I also took heavily from many remixes and arrangements by other fans, but none so heavily as Arnie Roth's excellent live orchestration made in collaboration with Maestro Nobuo himself for the Distant Worlds suites starting from the Distant Worlds II: More Music from Final Fantasy album, though I tried to put my own little musical spins and nuances on it.
