past as a Summoner of Madan sari and is past as a Summoner of Madan sari and is heavily linked to her identity as heavily linked to her identity as heavily linked to her identity as Princess of Alexandria but combining Princess of Alexandria but combining Princess of Alexandria but combining this nostalgic vocal Melody theme with this nostalgic vocal Melody theme with this nostalgic vocal Melody theme with her main theme in the game that we her main theme in the game that we her main theme in the game that we continuously hear throughout the entire continuously hear throughout the entire continuously hear throughout the entire Adventure is a perfect way to cap off Adventure is a perfect way to cap off Adventure is a perfect way to cap off the entire game of Final Fantasy 9 and the entire game of Final Fantasy 9 and the entire game of Final Fantasy 9 and honestly just leave you in tears in the honestly just leave you in tears in the honestly just leave you in tears in the end credits the prevalence of these end credits the prevalence of these end credits the prevalence of these songs actually makes me think Garnett songs actually makes me think Garnett songs actually makes me think Garnett could actually be as much of a could actually be as much of a could actually be as much of a protagonist as zidon I don't know what protagonist as zidon I don't know what protagonist as zidon I don't know what you guys think but zidon of course moves you guys think but zidon of course moves you guys think but zidon of course moves the story forward as the hero but the story forward as the hero but the story forward as the hero but Garnett goes through so much development Garnett goes through so much development Garnett goes through so much development on her own eventually ending up as an on her own eventually ending up as an on her own eventually ending up as an independent and confident Queen and independent and confident Queen and independent and confident Queen and hearing all these songs and experiencing hearing all these songs and experiencing hearing all these songs and experiencing these two motifs in the game reminds you these two motifs in the game reminds you these two motifs in the game reminds you that this is certainly her story and that this is certainly her story and that this is certainly her story and even though though she will one day be even though though she will one day be even though though she will one day be Queen she will still be Queen she will still be Queen she will still be herself another favorite theme of mine herself another favorite theme of mine herself another favorite theme of mine is Freya it's a very sad and is Freya it's a very sad and is Freya it's a very sad and contemplative and Melancholy theme and contemplative and Melancholy theme and contemplative and Melancholy theme and basically the Perfect theme for someone basically the Perfect theme for someone basically the Perfect theme for someone who is grieving over the loss of a lover who is grieving over the loss of a lover who is grieving over the loss of a lover who they don't know is dead or even who they don't know is dead or even who they don't know is dead or even still alive Freya is a comforting and still alive Freya is a comforting and still alive Freya is a comforting and nurturing character but she Harbors nurturing character but she Harbors nurturing character but she Harbors memories of a lover who she still longs memories of a lover who she still longs memories of a lover who she still longs to find find in a world torn apart by to find find in a world torn apart by to find find in a world torn apart by War the theme of Freya the kingdom of War the theme of Freya the kingdom of War the theme of Freya the kingdom of bermia and her lover sir fratley all bermia and her lover sir fratley all bermia and her lover sir fratley all share the same chord progression and

again but as a flute variation this was again but as a flute variation this was another glaring hint the game was trying another glaring hint the game was trying another glaring hint the game was trying to tell me something about this to tell me something about this to tell me something about this mysterious world and how it relates to mysterious world and how it relates to mysterious world and how it relates to the rest of the game [Music] [Music] and finally you reach the end game you and finally you reach the end game you and finally you reach the end game you enter the planet of Tera and once you enter the planet of Tera and once you enter the planet of Tera and once you explore both Tera and Braun ball it all explore both Tera and Braun ball it all explore both Tera and Braun ball it all hits you you hear that Melody once again hits you you hear that Melody once again hits you you hear that Melody once again you see the genomes and you learn about you see the genomes and you learn about you see the genomes and you learn about zidan's past and you finally realize zidan's past and you finally realize zidan's past and you finally realize that the game was hinting that zidon that the game was hinting that zidon that the game was hinting that zidon never really had a place at home in Gaia never really had a place at home in Gaia never really had a place at home in Gaia and was originally from terara just like and was originally from terara just like and was originally from terara just like Kua this level of foreshadowing was Kua this level of foreshadowing was Kua this level of foreshadowing was insane and it was under our noses the insane and it was under our noses the insane and it was under our noses the entire time right when we start the game entire time right when we start the game entire time right when we start the game up a place to call home the name of the up a place to call home the name of the up a place to call home the name of the title screen track zidon probably never title screen track zidon probably never title screen track zidon probably never remembered teror but he knew deep down remembered teror but he knew deep down remembered teror but he knew deep down inside that he felt out of place and inside that he felt out of place and inside that he felt out of place and longed for a place to truly call his longed for a place to truly call his longed for a place to truly call his home home home [Music]
