Does this kind of commonality help when trying to string the song together to make medley or similar?
i think you really could've taken this further by pointing how not only do the beginnings of each of these themes start with a perfect fifth, but they all feature the cascading downward melody while also maintaining that interval. this video made me realize that the melodic shape of all these themes are extremely similar in a way that i had never consciously recognized before
Dawntrail is a pretty good 5th expansion for me so far, tho i'm not sure it's "perfect" 😉 heehee hoohoo
okay seriously they might've had this in mind though, it's a lot of perfect 5thing going on in that one
I wonder if any of this could be found in FF16's tracks

This was eating at me ever since I noticed it in SB and HW. Thank you for confirming that I'm not crazy!
Uematsu only did answers and revolution songs. Rest was Soken. But still enlightening. I never noticed that. I'm no composer, musician, or anything related to music but soken has made me want to learn.
