Chaos Shrine (theme)

"Chaos' Shrine" (カオスの神殿), also known as "Chaos' Temple", is a background theme from the original Final Fantasy, composed by Nobuo Uematsu and originally released in 1987.

Final Fantasy
"Chaos Shrine" is the background theme for the first dungeon of the original Final Fantasy, the Chaos Shrine, and the Sunken Shrine. An arrangement of this theme, "Sunken Shrine", is the background theme of the final dungeon of the game, the Chaos Shrine of the Past, and unlike its name might imply, it has no relation whatsoever to the aforementioned Sunken Shrine area.

"Chaos Temple" and "Undersea Shrine" are, respectively, the sixth and eleventh tracks of All Sounds of Final Fantasy I & II, the soundtrack for the NES release of Final Fantasy. "Chaos Shrine" and "Sunken Shrine" are, respectively, the eight and thirteenth tracks of Final Fantasy I & II Original Soundtrack's first disc, the soundtrack for the Final Fantasy Origins release of Final Fantasy.

An arrangement of "Chaos Shrine" by Tsuyoshi Sekito appears in 012 as "Chaos Shrine -arrange- from FINAL FANTASY I". It is the third track of the original soundtrack's first disc. The original NES version of "Chaos Shrine" is also part of the Final Fantasy Music Pack DLC distributed through the PlayStation Network.

Both tracks can be used as the default background theme for battles including Warrior of Light or Garland, or any battle with the Chaos Shrine as the arena. However, the downloadable NES version of "Chaos Shrine" will only be automatically selected for Arcade or Quick Battles.
