Wait... what?

I like heavy metal but that seems so unfitting for a Final Fantasy game. On the other hand, in terms of Final Fantasy OST rather than music in general, the bad choice of music makes it sound awesome in a funny way (especially when you're about to ride a fluffy chocobo and are totally not seeing this song coming)

Welp. I had to check whether the uploader was SilvaGunner. Nice one, though.

Ok so now I know why they used heavy metal this time: I checked for older themes and look at how they're called:

Final Fantasy II: Chocobo Theme
Final Fantasy III: Chocobo Theme
Final Fantasy IV: Samba de Chocobo (black Chocobo theme) and "Chocobo, Chocobo"
Final Fantasy V: Mambo de Chocobo
Final Fantasy VI: Techno de Chocobo
Final Fantasy VII: Electric de Chocobo
Final Fantasy VIII: Mods de Chocobo (Beatles style)
Final Fantasy IX: Ukuele de Chocobo
Final Fantasy X: Brass de Chocobo
Final Fantasy XI: Dash de Chocobo
Final Fantasy XII: Chocobo
Final Fantasy XIII: Pulse de Chocobo & Cocoon de Chocobo
Final Fantasy XIII-2: Crazy Chocobo (heavy metal) & Rodeo de Chocobo
Final Fantasy XIII-3: Bluesy Chocobo & Marimba de Chocobo ( @pimathbrainiac might like that one)
Final Fantasy XIV: Eorzea de Chocobo

From Final Fantasy 4 to 10, chocobo themes matches one different music genre each (although in FFIV only the black chocobo theme does). They stopped doing that in Final Fantasy 11 online, but it seems that in Final Fantasy XIII-2 they started again. Basically they went with samba, mambo, disco, electronic, rock 'n' roll, ukuele, brass, heavy metal, blues and marimba over time, with the rest of the themes using standard Final Fantasy style.

Ah, yeah, that explains everything. I did noticed the soundtracks had a lot of Chocobo Theme remixes in different styles. That's pretty cool.

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Yeah I didn't know that at first. Back then I was wondering why most Chocobo themes had music that didn't fit the style of the rest of the games at all, though. Of course there are exceptions, like the first games, due to NES limitations (although I bet they could have made a beach Chocobo theme in FFII or III if they went with Startropics style), and some later themes don't refer to any genre, but it's definitively a cool thing they did.

I wonder if at one point they'll do a dubstep or rap theme, though . They could remix the metal Chocobo theme from FFXIII-2 and make it a rap song instead for Final Fantasy 15. It would be fitting if the game had an urban setting.

Final Fantasy XIII-3: Bluesy Chocobo & Marimba de Chocobo ( @pimathbrainiac might like that one)

I do in fact like it!

It's very rare I share Five Nights at Freddy's things, or even look at these for that matter, I personally hate it, but this has Minty Root and Griffinilla in it. And it looks very 80's-ish.

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Wow that song sounds awesome! I love 80's rock like this so I'm glad people sometimes continue making songs in the same style.

[gameblabla]

Wow, this sounds outstanding !
I never heard something this good for a while...
The singer is spot on too.

Thanks for sharing juju

I'm really digging Dj Omnimaga's music right now!
I prefer instrumentals, so his songs are perfect.
Star Wars tracks are pretty good. I don't have any videos...

@Cumred Dance with the dead reminds me some of the industrial house I listened to from 2002 to 2004 for some reasons. I actually like this song.

@Unicorn I love Asia and Toto, although in the case of Toto for example I don't like the song you posted as much (probably because it's overplayed on the radio here). My favorite Toto songs are the following:

@E37 glad you are liking my songs. Which ones in particular do you like (or which album on Bandcamp)?

[E37]

I liked the Omnimaga, Knight of the Moon and Unfinished playlists. I think the unused version of Die Die Die is better than the standard. I like Destination 1999 but not the intro to it or the title.
Keep up the great work!
