Final Fantasy VII was released for PlayStation in 1997, with music by Nobuo Uematsu, and its victory fanfare plays after the party defeats enemies in battle. The tune is a version of the victory theme heard across the Final Fantasy series, re-arranged for the game's larger, cinematic sound. As the game became one of the most influential role-playing games of its era, the fanfare travelled beyond gameplay into streams, edits and celebration videos, where it now works as instant shorthand for a hard-earned win.
