Game appearances[]

Final Fantasy[]

"Chaos Shrine" is the background theme for the first dungeon, the Chaos Shrine, and the Sunken Shrine. An arrangement of this theme, "Sunken Shrine", is the background theme of the final dungeon, the Chaos Shrine of the Past, and unlike what 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. "Chaos Shrine" and "Sunken Shrine" are, respectively, the eight and thirteenth tracks of the Final Fantasy I & II Original Soundtrack first disc, the soundtrack for the Final Fantasy Origins release.
