The Fabled Warriors made by Ocremix.org team will be released in five parts over the course of the next 2-3 years starting in 2010). The first four albums will follow the four crystals in the game, with themes arranged for all of the corresponding jobs, and the last album will cover new jobs introduced in the Game Boy Advance release, as well as serve as an endcap to the project.

The Original Soundtrack music of the video game Final Fantasy V was composed by Nobuo Uematsu. Uematsu had originally calculated that the game would require more than 100 pieces of music, but managed to reduce the number to 56. He has stated that he developed the ideas for the music by first reading through the script and creating the titles for all of the tracks, then composing melodies to match the themes of the story and titles. Uematsu felt that the sound quality of the soundtrack for Final Fantasy V was much better than that of Final Fantasy IV. He also claimed that this resulted in the soundtrack release requiring two CDs as opposed to the one CD required for the Final Fantasy IV soundtrack. Uematsu has stated that he would have preferred to keep the soundtrack to one CD, in order to keep the price of the album low.

Message from Project Leader

The Fabled Warriors is a series of five free albums from OverClocked ReMix that celebrates Nobuo Uematsu’s classic score for Square’s Final Fantasy V. Each album is comprised of themes for important characters in the series as well as the myriad of job classes that made the game famous.

I have always felt that Final Fantasy V‘s soundtrack has a bit of lightness to it that other Final Fantasy soundtracks eschew in favor of darker, moodier themes. This game always struck me as more of an adventure than any of the others in the series, and Uematsu’s score grabs that and runs with it. This is nowhere more evident than in ‘Ahead on Our Way,’ Final Fantasy V‘s main theme, and in my opinion, the best main theme for any Final Fantasy game.

I hope everyone enjoys this tribute to Nobuo Uematsu’s wonderful score. We hope to make each album better than the last!
