Bow (Final Fantasy XVI)

"Bow" is a musical theme in Final Fantasy XVI. It was composed by Masayoshi Soken and arranged by Takafumi Imamura, with lyrics written by John Taylor.
It contains "Logos", the leitmotif of Ultima.
For Imamura, "Bow" is his most memorable track on disc 7 of the Final Fantasy XVI Original Soundtrack as it gives the sense of "heading towards the final stage". Final Fantasy XVI has an axis of dark fantasy reminiscent of medieval Europe, but "Bow" creates a slightly different dimension from that world with its sound. The instruments used do not sound orchestral to begin with, the sound alternates between three and four beats, and the panning of the sound is moved from left to right for a very different feeling. It represents the unsettling nature of what is about to happen in the game.https://natalie.mu/music/pp/ff16ost/page/3
