To Sail Forbidden Seas - FF16 Orchestral Remix (Dominant Boss Theme)

FF16 remix playlist:    • Final Fantasy XVI Arrangements  

Orchestral arrangement of "To Sail Forbidden Seas" from Final Fantasy XVI.

Composed by Masayoshi Soken
Arranged by Sipi Ovaska
Original arrangement by Soken and Yoshitaka Suzuki

This track plays in boss fights against Dominants and Eikons, such as vs. Benedikta & Garuda and Hugo Kupka & Titan.

This track is quite something, it goes from ominous and oppressive to hopeful and epic. This one features many common leitmotifs from other battle and boss themes.
I had a lot of back and forth with this track. I especially found it hard to get the choir sound good and sit right in the mix. Percussion on the other hand was a slam dunk, and I knew at once how I wanted it to sound. There are a few creative liberties on this arrangement, but not as much as the battle theme remix for example. I hope you enjoy!
