The victory fanfare comes from Final Fantasy, the long-running role-playing game series created by Square, later Square Enix, with music by Nobuo Uematsu. It has played after victorious battles since the original game in 1987, becoming one of gaming's most recognisable short melodies. As the series grew across consoles and generations of players, the tune travelled into streams, edits, and memes, where it now stands for any hard-earned win. Its longevity comes from that shared memory: even people who have never played the games often recognise the triumphant brass pattern.
