Final Fantasy VI
epub
pdf
Terra the magical half-human. Shadow the mysterious assassin. Celes the tough, tender general. Kefka the fool who would be god. Each of the many unforgettable characters in Final Fantasy VI has made a huge impression on a generation of players, but why do we feel such affection for these 16-bit heroes and villains as so many others fade? The credit goes to the game’s score, composed by the legendary Nobuo Uematsu. Armed with newly translated interviews and an expert ear for sound, writer and musician Sebastian Deken conducts a critical analysis of the musical structures of FF6, the game that pushed the Super Nintendo’s sound capabilities to their absolute limits and launched Uematsu’s reputation as the “Beethoven of video game music.” Deken ventures deep into the game’s lush soundscape—from its expertly crafted leitmotifs to its unforgettable opera sequence—exploring the soundtrack’s lasting influence and how it helped clear space for game music on classical stages around the world.

About this Bundle
Boss Fight Books produce unique historical, critical and personal Books about the great games that shaped us.
The 20 books in this all-new-to-Fanatical bundle take a deep look at many of our most beloved video games. Some focus on the history of the game’s creation, some on particular elements like level design, story, and music, some investigate the subculture that has formed around a game, and some reflect on the game's role in the author's own life. They’re all incredibly entertaining & a must-read for fans of the classics in modern video game culture.
Designed as a Build Your Own bundle, this brand new collection enables the reader to pick and choose exactly which titles most appeal to them. Of course, the best value is in selecting all of the books and we’d seriously recommend that as whether or not you've played all the games, you’ll love the stories and the writings.
Masterpiece titles include: Final Fantasy VI, GoldenEye 007, PaRappa the Rapper, Dragon Age II, Animal Crossing, Baldur's Gate II and Super Mario Bros. 2 but you’ll also be delighted to read up on groundbreaking older classics such as Day of the Tentacle and even Minesweeper (yes really!)
We complete this packed collection with the Nightmare Mode: A Boss Fight Books Anthology which brings together a series of extra thoughts and personal tales from the books’ authors. Delve into lost chapters and timely essays in which Boss Fight authors return to the games and series that inspired their full-length titles
If you want to explore the series more, you’ll also find here a 15% Off Website Coupon* that can be used on the Boss Fight Books site against a future book purchase.
