“Etro’s Champion,” Masashi Hamauzu - Final Fantasy XIII-2 Original Soundtrack

In an interview with Destructoid, Masashi Hamauzu revealed that his battle theme, “Etro’s Champion,” which chiefly plays during Lightning’s opening battle against Chaos Bahamut, was inspired by the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan.

Last year, Japan faced a major calamity she had never faced before. Immediately after that, in a meeting with the director, Motomu Toriyama, he had asked me to write a battle song that would encourage the listener, and I had an idea of a song flash in my head right then and there. It was in a major chord, with a chorus that involved a melody with half notes that sounded as if they were taking one step at a time to climb to the top…I was very worried if I could create a battle song of the same caliber as “Blinded by Light,” but I believe this has become something that’s in no way inferior.
