While some&nbsp;tunes&nbsp;are quite pleasant, FFII\u2019s music is not particularly memorable, and actually includes some very nasty pieces, like the &#8220;Imperial Army Theme&#8221;, which sounds like someone hammering nails, or &#8220;Dungeon&#8221;, with its discordant, vaguely Oriental melody. And &#8220;Temptation of the Princess&#8221; has shamelessly been lifted from <em>Swan Lake<\/em>. Otherwise, the most memorable tunes are perhaps the bracing &#8220;Rebel Army Theme&#8221; and the grandiose &#8220;Castle Pandemonium&#8221;. Apart from those, the &#8220;Main Theme&#8221;, which is the world map music, is cautious and pleasantly aerial. &#8220;Town&#8221; is the peaceful ambient music in&#8230;you guessed it, towns. &#8220;Magician\u2019s Tower&#8221;, from the Mysidia Tower, has a welcome anxiety to it, and &#8220;Ancient Castle&#8221;, the Kashuon\/Kashuan theme, which is also reused&nbsp;in some <a href=\"https:\/\/grafskaya.club\/mysst\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/not-even-Santana-could-make-this-bearable.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-6268\" title=\"Not even Santana could make this bearable\" src=\"https:\/\/grafskaya.club\/mysst\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/not-even-Santana-could-make-this-bearable.jpg\" alt=\"Not even Santana could make this bearable\" width=\"205\" height=\"192\"><\/a>dungeons,&nbsp;has airs of a medieval ballad. &#8220;Battle Scene 1&#8221;, the unimaginatively-titled random encounter music, is also surprisingly rousing, which is probably good, considering how often you\u2019ll be made to hear it. Or maybe you&#8217;ll simply grow to hate it&nbsp;with a passion. Overall,&nbsp;this isn&#8217;t&nbsp;Uematsu\u2019s best effort (N.B. Nobuo Uematsu, main composer for the FF series).
