It actually makes alot of sense to use video game music from well know Japanese developed games like the Final Fantasy series. They're good instrumental pieces that are at least somewhat recognizable to people around the world.

Kingdom Hearts as well

Olympus coliseum was a super on the nose pick but it's perfect

The bbc commentary mentioned before the parade started that there would be orchestral versions of video game music used as the background music. Been great to hear it all

The Belgian commentators said it's "manga music". Cringe, I feel like writing an angry letter to our public broadcaster.

Hey guys, I think they tricked us gamers into watching the damn opening ceremony of the Olympics! WTH!?

The line for the 2025 remake for Crono Trigger, replete with 3D cel shaded and 100% hand drawn Toriyama sprites starts here

Article that goes in depth as to what was played and why. Apparently they switched out a composer and director due to controversies like bullying children and joking about the Holocaust.

The hero we needed.

Oh no, must've missed victory fanfare!

Woah, I never saw Soul Calibur spelled that way.

Holy fucking shit, I was also listening and I was going all "what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck???" It was the battle victory music and another well known song!

10 : Anonymous2021/07/23 11:47 ID: h68l7ca

I audibly gasped when I recognized it. I am fucking here for all of it!

ID: h68w1so

I know. I was only half paying attention looking at my phone. And I sat up agog. Like. Did I just hear that correctly. Lol.

Anyone know the song thats playing now? It's sooo soo familiar I feel like I should know it.

Edit; I got it, Monster Hunter theme!

Other games as well! Heard one from dragon quest. Seems like the whole athlete introduction will be backed by video game fanfare from japanese composers.

13 : Anonymous2021/07/23 11:47 ID: h68l5o0

Was played during Iceland and Ireland’s entrance if that helps 🙂

ID: h68su8a

As an Irish lad whos always loved final fantasy this has made my year lmao

14 : Anonymous2021/07/23 11:56 ID: h68lz5n

Omg, when the flag bearers came it was Dragon quest, and I also heard Kingdom hearts 😀

15 : Anonymous2021/07/23 12:51 ID: h68rf8p

wouldve been cooler if they played the junon parade theme hahaha

Apparently its SEGA, Capcom and Square music being used. Love the homage, although I find it really odd that Nintendo gets no representation.

ID: h68ntsm

Probably didn't want to send themselves cease and desists

ID: h68tw6g

Potentially Nintendo get played at closing ceremony? Maybe even exclusivity

ID: h68nnmf

To be fair, didn’t Mario actually appear and get a whole segment during the opening ceremony for the Winter Olympics in Japan a few years back?

But yeah, a little Mario, Zelda, and Pokémon representation would’ve made this even cooler.

Posted this in another thread, but they played Frog’s theme from Chrono Trigger too! The perks of being in Japan! Playing JRPG music. They played it somewhere between Iran and Uganda

ID: h68mw03

18 : Anonymous2021/07/23 12:33 ID: h68pgfu

They are playing a lot of video game OSTs. I heard Chrono trigger, Monster Hunter, Nier Automata, Sonic the Hedgehog and Kingdom Hearts so far

19 : Anonymous2021/07/23 13:17 ID: h68ua19

And I just heard the final fantasy theme song. Soo cool! If you ever look it up, look for the Hong Kong athletes that walk in.

Edited to show where to find it!

It's happening! It's happening!

I got a bit emotional when I heard the theme music. How much these games and music mean to me and hearing it at a ceremony like this is pretty special.

24 : Anonymous2021/07/23 12:03 ID: h68ml6e

I heard that Victory Fanfare too and Dragon Quest's Full Overture was played before it!

25 : Anonymous2021/07/23 12:39 ID: h68q2sw

They should play Suteki Da Ne at the closing ceremony.

26 : Anonymous2021/07/23 12:55 ID: h68runb

I heard a theme from Kingdom Hearts 1

27 : Anonymous2021/07/23 13:15 ID: h68u3cm

I noticed it as well! Was wondering if it was really it or if I was hearing things xD

I had the impression of hearing Kingdom Hearts' Coliseum music as well, but I think it's just my imagination

ID: h69nfzv

but I think it's just my imagination

Nope, it definitely played!
