Distant Worlds II: meer muziek van FINAL FANTASY [import-cd]

I’ve been listening to this Disc 2 opening track almost on repeat since it arrived—the orchestration is crisp and the brass sections really shine. The import packaging came in perfect condition, and the tracklist leans heavily on the later titles I grew up with.

Hearing the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra perform these FINAL FANTASY tracks is an entirely different experience—so much richer than the game originals. The arrangement of "Dancing Mad" here is absolutely stunning and gives me chills every time.

The orchestral arrangements are lush and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic plays beautifully, but the track selection feels a bit uneven compared to the first volume. I wish a few more classic themes had made the cut.
