Control - Garuda vs Ifrit (Piano) Benedikta's Theme: Final Fantasy XVI (FF16, FFXVI)

I did not actually recognize Garuda's theme during the gameplay at first, because the first line sounds a little similar to one of the boss theme - On the Shoulders of Giants. Just the first few notes, and initially I thought it's just another version of the same melody. Benedikta is a good villain, and the way it slowly builds up from her sisters' fight, to later Clive vs Benedikta, and then vs Garuda, and at the end, Ifrit vs Garuda. I think it is very well done. The quieter version of this theme suits her character very well, considering her sad backstory. This theme can be heard in many tracks including: Gathering Clouds, Domina, Shepherd's Lament, Downburst, Against the Wind, Control, and A Pendant Darkly. Almost as if the entire Disc 2 of the OST is for Benedikta. Subscribe to my channel for more piano arrangements of music from Final Fantasy. © SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.
