One listen, and with this one I don’t know what was going on. I’m pretty familiar with the game and so I ended up channeling where I remember this piece of music being used, though I strongly suspect I was remembering incorrectly.

Hitoshi Sakimoto’s (崎元 仁) “Destiny” (“宿命”) is from  the soundtrack for Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy XII Original Soundtrack. The soundtrack was composed predominantly by Hitoshi Sakimoto, and features contributions from Hayato Matsuo (松尾 早人), Masaharu Iwata (岩田 匡治) and Nobuo Uematsu (植松 伸夫).

As a side note, this song reminds me a lot of the Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter soundtrack, which Hitoshi Sakimoto also composed.

I hope you enjoy.

A dramatic moment held on the steps of strings. The weight of expectation is something to now shake off. Realisation and acceptance come forward and reveal themselves, for doubt allowed for thought. Allowed for questioning and coming to accept that there are other ways to walk forward, and in a way it is comforting.

Knowing that someone isn’t going to lose themselves; that there are things greater than tunneling down into one thing helps bolster resolve to see things through, and it isn’t seen alone. It is seen with others, and so one path is walked away from whilst another is now followed as the sounds fade and the song ends.
