Theme song for Final Fantasy IV revealed
Square's search for a theme-song has come to its end - an artist and a song have been discovered!
The song is named "Ai no Tema" 「愛のテーマ」 which literally translates to "Theme of Love". The song will be performed by newfound Japanese artist Kunslerin Emi. Fans may remember the company beginning a country-wide search earlier this year to find the perfect song for the game, and after much consideration, this was the chosen theme!
Fans may remember a "Ai no Tema" from the original Final Fantasy 4 soundtrack, composed by legendary Nobuo Uematsu. It is uncertain wether this new vocal track uses the original song as its basis, or for that matter, has any relation to it at all, but with the name similarities, and Square's track-record, we can assume the original song and the background music to this theme are probably almost one in the same.
Fans will have to wait until the game ships for the Nintendo DS in Japan to hear the song, which will be on December 20 this year. No word yet on a US release, or if this song will still be used for non-Japanese versions.
