DAY 1599) Sigma Harmonics - Guided to the Finale Dance of the Moon Spirit

Composer: Masashi Hamauzu

This is one of those “it barely qualifies for this blog” ones, probably one of the most extreme cases of that, the odd time (polymeter) is only present at a tiny portion of it and actually kinda hard to hear but it IS there and i like this song so i want to include it........!

The whole track is just 4/4 really but that tiny high plucky synth in the background from 1:08 - 1:16 / 2:24 - 2:33 is doing 7/16 polymeter on top of everything else~!

Espers in World of Final Fantasy

List of known Espers or “summons”. Espers can have familiars or guardians. They can also merge with select humans of their choice. On the other hand, humans can have familiars, and can merge with Cogna to become Cyborg (ie. All Exnine Knights). Cyborgs can merge with other humans.

Bahamut Kingdom: Bahamut Brandelis (From ??? World; Merged with an Exnine Knight aka. a man named “Efrawg”, and some unknown Cogma; 1 of 16 “powerful” Bahamuts), 

Bahamut Tiababylos (One of the Pleiad; 1 of 16 “powerful” Bahamuts; From World of Dragon Kings), 

14 other “powerful” Bahamuts, and any other Bahamut variants appeared throughout the franchise.

The Bahamuts were fighting for the title of “King of Bahamut” in their home world. That is why Tiababylos had such a rivalry with Brandelis in the game.

Alexander Kingdom: Alexander Big Bridge (Eiko as its Guardian), 

Alexander Enna Kros (Creator of the A-Worlds; Merged with a female soldier named Roksanne and her familiar Tama; Merged with a fierce young man named Aris and his familiar Serafie; Takes the physical form of Roksanne in Grimoire),

Fun fact: Enna Kros is actually an anagram for “Roksanne”, the girl Alexander merged with. And it’s also implied that Enna Kros may take the appearance of a man (”Aris”) if you meet her in another A-World.

Battle Arena Alexander (The entire actual Coliseum in the game; Generates a special mist that can connect to parallel worlds through a possibility array; Guardian is the Master Tonberry),

and other variants of Alexander in the franchise... (One example I can think of is “Alexandria Alexander” from FFIX).

Proof: There was a scene where Enna Kros was talking with Big Bridge about the times when they were young. They were competing in the Alexander Kingdom for a Godly position. They destroyed a lot of things and made a mess apparently. But Enna Kros won in the end, which explains why she had world-bending God powers but other Alexanders don’t.

Diabolos Kingdom: Diabolos (One of the Pleiad; From Grimoire; Used to serve the twins aka. ”Demon Dyad”; Power of dreams/nightmares),

The Girl Who Forgot Her Name (Even though she is technically Nene/ねね from Sigma Harmonics, an extraverse, she is actually part Diabolos),

The young man Aris (who is now merged with Enna Kros) caused trouble in the Diabolos Kingdom long ago. The Diabolos-King lost control of his power over fantasy which opened a pathway across universes, allowing the girl to travel to Grimoire and absorbing the king’s powers at the same time.

and other Diabolos variants from the franchise.

Eden Kingdom: Eden of Balamb (The entire Balamb Garden structure; Guardians - Squall, Quistis, SeeD),

and other variants of Eden in FF... (ie. Guardian Force Eden from VIII or Fal’cie Eden from XIII).

Leviathan Kingdom: Leviathan (One of the Pleiad; From Grimoire),

and other variants of Levianthan in FF.

Midgardsormr Kingdom: The Midgardian Ormr (Sleeps beneath Figaro Castle; Edgar as Guardian; Converts Grimoire’s geotic energy into mako),

and other variants of Midgardsormr in FF.

Odin Kingdom: Odin (One of the Pleiad; From Grimoire; Used to serve the “Demon Dyad”/twins),

and other Odin variants in FF.

Ragnarok Kingdom: The Lute of Ragnarok (From Grimoire; Guardians - Cornelian people, Warrior of Light, Princess Sarah; Merged with the familiar named Lute; Asleep until woken by Ramuh),

and other Ragnarok variants in FF.

Valigarmanda Kingdom: Valigarmanda Pellinore (From ????? World; Originally merged with unknown Cogna, and Ex9-III-4 of the Exnine Knights named “Pwyll”; Forcefully merged via copy with the human named Lusse Farna aka Twin’s mom; Can only access a portion of her original power due to Lusse’s will of resistence; Attained some of Lusse’s Breaker abilities),

and other Valigarmanda variants in FF (ie. FFVI).

Zona Seeker Kingdom: Zona Seeker Segwarides (From ????? World; Originally merged with Ex9-I-3 of the Exnine Knights named “Epona” and some unknown Cogna; Forcefully merged via copy with the human named Rorrik aka Twin’s dad; Can only access a portion of his original power due to Rorrik’s will of resistance; Attained some of Rorrik’s Architect abilities),

and other Zona Seeker variants in FF (ie. FFVI).

Carbuncle Kingdom: The Unlucky Carbuncle (Originally Hauyn’s pet esper from Grimoire/Nine Wood Hills; A 3rd Exnine Knight named “Ywain” from ????? world forcefully merged with Carbuncle; Ywain was already part-Cyborg before the act; His power is creating visual illusions; His powers are limited due to Carbuncle being a weak vessel; Takes form of the Carbuncle while the Masked Woman is simply a hologram),

In this instance, the human is definitely possessing the esper since the original Carbuncle was on Hauyn’s side. However, with the other Exnine Knights... Did the espers agree to merge with the knights or were they forcibly taken over, like Carbuncle? 

and other Carbuncle variants in FF.

Ifrit Kingdom: Ifrit (One of the Pleiad; From Grimoire),

Ifreeta (A different tribe of Ifrit; Has traveled to other A-Worlds before),

and other Ifrit variations in FF.

Fun Fact: The genderbender version of espers are noted to be extremely rare within their respective kingdoms. 

Shiva Kingdom: Shiva (One of the Pleiad; From Grimoire),

Shivalry (Has traveled to many different worlds before; Another Shiva tribe),

and other Shiva variations in FF.

Fun Fact: Apparently, the Nether Nebula, like the Coliseum, is a place where the barrier between worlds are thin. That’s why you meet the main summons in those areas the most. If a human conduit is available, Clever espers can summon themselves there.

Ramuh Kingdom: Ramuh (One of the Pleiad; From Grimoire),

Remewl (Grimoire Ramuh’s granddaughter; A young Ramuh still learning to grasp her powers),

and other Ramuh variations in FF.

Fun Facts: The Pleiad guards places like Nether Nebula so that other entities don’t easily come into Grimoire. Though there are times when one or two sneak through.

Question: So apparently there aren’t simply variations of espers in the kingdoms. Espers can somehow reproduce? Could that mean that each Esper Kingdom contains an entire organic population of espers?!? I want to see those worlds!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Others: Tycoon and Bismarck may be espers (mentioned in Leviathan’s entry). Rydia has Mist Dragon as her familiar. Eiko’s familiar is Fenrir. Faris’ familiar is Syldra. Terra’s familiar is Maduin (esper in FFVI; familiar in WoFF). Bartz’ familiar is Boko. Gilgamesh’s familiar is Enkidu. Hauyn’s familiar is Siren. Yuna’s familiar is Valefor.

Sigma Harmonics Soundtrack - Who is he Anyway

One of the most beautiful and calming soundtracks I ever heard.
