notes: 'Development of the album began in summer of 2015. It was planned to be released
  through Materia Collective under the title "Synthetic Origins: A Final Fantasy IV
  25 Year Anniversary Tribute Album" but ultimately was released as a free download
  via tssf''s YouTube channel. The arrangement intends to recreate what the Final
  Fantasy IV soundtrack would have sounded like had it used arranged instrumentation
  similar to that of the "Final Fantasy Mix" soundtrack released by Nobuo Uematsu.

  Track 57 – Battle for the Planet (Original) by Mark Reichwein and Mathew Valente

  "This track is featured on the album ''Boss Battles for the Soul'' by Kyo (Mark
  Reichwein). He approached me one day back in 2014 to help him create a song that
  sounded like it was playing from FFIV. He gave me a song he wrote, I retooled it
  from scratch and added the second half of the song (where it starts to use the main
  theme). It turned out great. This is the arranged version of the song."

  Track 58 – Theme of Despair (Original) by Mathew Valente

  "So this is a bit of a derivative work made to sound like a sadder version of Theme
  of Love, and Lena''s theme from FFV. You can hear the influence in the bass line
  from Lena''s theme as well as some other influences from Aerith''s theme from FFVII.
  I also used some legato techniques that Nobuo Uematsu used in FFVI and VII''s soundtracks."
