Full song?

Shouldn't there be a youtube link to just the song, not a fanvid or anything? All the other final battle music have one.

How is it the fourth section? The page itself says the song has four movements, and that is clearly not the music played during Rest/Lady. Drake Clawfang

...it was you who said it was the fourth section, when it's clearly the third section playing. Anyway, I was talking about the third part of the song, not the third part of the battle. Maybe we should clarify that... Faethinverba volant
But the song has four parts... Drake Clawfang
So?
Sorry, I fail to see your point. Faethinverba volant
The song has four parts, that's part of the last one. Basic math, four parts to the battle, four parts to the song, that's the fourth part. Drake Clawfang
"Basic maths", huh...
Let us define the four parts them, by defining their time intervals.
"Basic maths"... that one stung. Faethinverba volant
Four parts, four battles - one part for each tier. That's how I've always heard the song divided, and that's how it is divided. Drake Clawfang
Well, my statement is based on the different central melodies "Dancing Mad" shows during the battle, not the battle per se. I think, Bluer forgive me, that the BM's version of the theme makes the differences more audible. But hell, they're still present in the original version, I'm listening to it right now and I don't see how can you miss them:
  • 4:29, Intro, with synth voices and stuff
  • 7:35, Organ alone
  • 11:32, Where the wild, jazz organ part begins
  • 13:26, The final section

Faethinverba volant

I hear four parts too.

  • 0:01 - 2:44 - first part, slow, synthed voice, blah.
  • 2:45 - 4:42 - faster, heavier part, more drums and symbol sounds.
  • 4:43 - 6:32 or so - more upbeat, lighter part, more organ sounds.
  • 6:33 - end - final movement.

Which part is not a part, and where is this reasoning coming from? I've never seen anyone else divide the segments like you have. I could see the final part being considered two parts instead of one, with the electric guitar, but that still means the music sample is Part 4. Drake Clawfang 18:18, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Whoa, whoa, whoa....I see the problem in our line of thinking...which version of you listening to, and how long is it? My vers is roughly 11:00, then a minute of "bong" sounds. Drake Clawfang
Which is why I insist we refer to the in-game versions instead of the rearrangements for our songs. Bluer 18:25, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
I'm listening to the original version, taken from the OST, the one fourteen minutes long. Faethinverba volant
Well if we use the in-game version, then it's still four sections, one for each segment of the battle. I don't understand how this is so hard to comprehend. Drake Clawfang
There is a difference between not understanding and not agreeing, bub. And repeatedly stating that there are four parts in the song is moot, since we all agree on that. The matter is, how are the four parts divided. Faethinverba volant
The GBA song player divides this song nicely into four parts. That's where the four songs are divided. (And anyway, doesn't each part end when you reach the next Boss? That's where the sections end. This seems like a stupid issue.) --BlueHighwind 18:31, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
EDIT CONFLICT - Well in your line of reasoning Faethin, the song's flow is entirely independant of how the battle flows, which is not true. Each tier clearly has a seperate piece of the song repeating on it. If the four segments overlap from tier to tier, then dividing them is meaningless and it's just one long song that has random snippets used for the tiers. Drake Clawfang
Beh. I'll admit that I may be wrong then. But I still think it makes more sense to divide them as I have. Change it back if you want to. Faethinverba volant
Unfortunately I've lost my GBA, so I can't verify BlueH's claim. I do recall though, if you check the bestiary, each monster from each tier has their section playing as the fight music. Drake Clawfang

Blue was right. The GBA Sound Player has "Dancing Mad 1", then 2, 3 and 4. Each of those sections is divided as they are divided in the battle itself - by tier. Drake Clawfang

Tsc Tsc, sorry for this but, i unlocked the sound player in Final Fantasy VI advance time ago, and there is "5" Dancing Mad. (Played the american version)

1: is Fist Tier

2: 2º tier

3: 3º tier

4: Omen ~ 4º tier intro

5: 4º tier boss (The kefka theme remix) CookiePinguy 01:16, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

/facepalm
Read what you just wrote. both files 4 and 5 are 4TH TIER. they're discussing the tiers here, not the MIDI files. the game divides the song into five parts, because Omen only plays during Kefka's reveal, while the 5th file is the looping part of the 4th tier. --Adonzo 03:01, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
