Let’s all put the pitchforks down now here’s an update from Powerman5000’s Facebook page:
“UPDATE on the Final Fantasy music controversy.
Fascinated by the level of interest in this. Opinions range from total agreement to extreme hatred towards the subject (and me apparently)
So crazy.
The original post was a two sentence observation about a piece of music that was way too similar to be coincidence.
Since then it has been taken as some sort of declaration of war. Oh, internet…
Anyway. There’s no lawsuit, there’s no cry for attention or publicity. Just an observation.
Going back to my normal M.O of not participating in social media. Thanx for the fun!
See ya on the road in March/April

So there’s no misconceptions from ill-informed parties. This is the actual music from the game, I didn’t make my own remix of World’s Collide and put it over the top, I simply muted everything other than the music and shared the game footage, which is permitted under Square Enix’s Material Usage License. Yes, it does sound quite a bit like When World’s Collide, is it a direct rip off? I don’t think so. As far as I’m concerned Square Enix are the copyright holders for this song.
Sephirot Theme from Final Fantasy XIV Heavensward.
