"Caius's Theme" (カイアスのテーマ, Kaiasu no Tēma?, lit. Theme of Caius) is a prominent theme from Final Fantasy XIII-2. It was composed by Naoshi Mizuta in 2011.
It is a dramatic orchestral piece with a Latin chorus. "Caius's Theme" had a hard time getting approval from the director of Final Fantasy XIII-2, and Mizuta created more than four different tracks, spending nearly a month on this one track.[1] The director wanted to make the song into something that could surpass Sephiroth's theme "One-Winged Angel" from Final Fantasy VII.
