For #vgmwednesday here is the Boundless Ocean from #FinalFantasyIII #DS

This game (and this remake) are somewhat maligned within the series. The music arranged by Sekito and Kawamori doesn't take big risks and can feel a bit muddy sometimes.

This specific track is one that enhances the original quite a bit. It is first heard when the player leaves the self-contained floating continent to reveal a massive, un-ending ocean. This arrangement does a good job capturing the sad loneliness of the moment.

FF3 is a personal favourite of mine. This moment in the game has always made an impression on me.
