Ever wondered why Amarant’s theme feels so out of place in Final Fantasy IX—almost like a modern electronic track in a medieval world?
In this episode, we break down “Arrogance,” the theme of Amarant Coral, and explore how Nobuo Uematsu uses groove, texture, and harmony to set the “lone wolf” apart. From the funky electric bass and jazzy drum patterns to the dense layered synth writing, we unpack how the music reflects Amarant’s defining trait: Shousou (impatience/arrogance).
We connect these musical ideas directly to his character arc, showing how the rigid, driving feel of the track mirrors his stubborn independence—and what changes as his story unfolds.
If you’re into video game music analysis, composition, or deep dives into iconic soundtracks, this episode is for you.
