Your brothers will see through the lie; Tomorrow... they won't ask why... SCENE III : [piano intro] O Maria... Far away now... Will I ever see your smile? As night turns to day, I beg you to stay, I'm down, down on my knees here...

  • The four tracks that play during the sequence are "Opening," "Aria di Mezzo Carattere," "The Wedding," and "Grand Finale?". In the original Japanese version the music is closely aligned with the lyrics, although because of technical limitations the "voices" are created on the SPC700 sound format. The "Aria di Mezzo Carattere," one of the Final Fantasy series' most famous musical themes, is performed within the opera. The development team had an idea to include an opera scene and Yoshinori Kitase wrote lyrics for it, while Uematsu composed the music. Translator Ted Woolsey found the opera scene unique and interesting and thus spent plenty of time on that scene; the scene had multiple files that combined to provide the experience: battle texts, the opera text displayed during the different cinematics, and the usual screen text all had to work in concert.
