How to Write Transitions || Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance has some brilliant music, and frequently features transition segments between the main sections of a piece that gracefully connect each of the main musical ideas. I had absolutely no clue how to do this, and after transcribing some of the music and taking a look at it in depth, I feel like I have some idea! Hopefully this video will help you along that same trajectory. 0:00 - Intro 1:03 - Example 1: Battle for Hope 2:38 - Why Do Transitions Feel Like Transitions? 4:49 - Unexpected Phrasing 6:58 - Example 2: Undeniable Anxiety 8:59 - Writing In Sequence 9:35 - Example 3: Battle for Hope again 10:44 - Example 4: Painful Battle 14:06 - Outro PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/8bitmusictheory NOTEBOOK: https://www.themusiciansnotebook.com/collaborations/8-bit-music-theory DISCORD: https://discord.gg/8bmt TWITTER: https://twitter.com/8bitMusicTheory Check out my album: https://8bitmt.bandcamp.com/album/lets-play Check out my video editor's own channel here: https://www.youtube.com/gamescorefanfare #finalfantasy #tactics #8bitMusicTheory
