Main article: Music of Final Fantasy I and II

Final Fantasy was Nobuo Uematsu's 16th video game score. The score was released on CD together with the score of Final Fantasy II.

A few of the game's tracks became mainstays to the Final Fantasy series: the Prelude, the arpeggio played on the title screen; the Opening Theme, which is played when the party crosses the bridge early in the game and later referred to as the Final Fantasy theme; and the Victory Fanfare, which is played after every victorious battle. The opening motif of the Battle theme has also been reused a number of times in the series.
