This is my cover of the second overworld theme in FF5. The track was originally composed by Nobuo Uematsu.

Galuf is by far my favourite character in Final Fantasy 5! Though he didn't have a theme song in the game, I consider the original track, "Unknown Lands" or "World 2" in FF5 to be his unofficial theme. "Dear Friends" also makes me think of him, but this theme seems very... Galuf- especially after we learn more of his incredible backstory!

I wanted the song to sound kingly, proud, tempered and solemn. It sort of represents to me Galuf's fatherly devotion to not only his kingdom and remaining family and compatriots, but his lifelong quest to restore the balance to the world and repair the wounded fabric of reality. He is a noble warrior, a fearless leader and a selfless comrade in arms who fights side by side with his subjects and considers nothing to be beneath him.

In this arrangement, I also tried to recall the Main Theme from FF4, which I think is aesthetically and thematically very similar. In many ways, Galuf's World could be considered the "true" setting in FF5 and "Unknown Lands" is the truest "main" overworld theme, for although the merged world was the original world and Bartz's world is the one the player starts the game in, during the current events of FF5, the merged world is sort of a long forgotten golden age and the events in Bartz's world, epic as they might be, are side effects of the great struggle between Enuo and the Dawn Warriors. Thus, in this track, I attempted to encapsulate the very heart of Final Fantasy 5- one which beats deeply and sombrely underneath the cheerful and colourful veneer.

I do not own any of the images I used in this collage art. I also don't know where that lovely image of Galuf came form, so if anyone knows, can they please link it to me so I can credit the artist?
