The victory fanfare comes from the first Final Fantasy, released in Japan in 1987 for the Nintendo Entertainment System and later remade and re-released many times. It plays after the player's party defeats enemies in battle, and because the series became one of the most influential role-playing franchises in gaming, the short tune became widely recognised far beyond its original game. Today it appears in edits, streams and memes as a shorthand for success, instantly signalling that a challenge has been cleared.
