The victory fanfare comes from Final Fantasy VII, the 1997 role-playing game from Square for the original PlayStation, with music by Nobuo Uematsu. In the game it plays after a successful battle, as experience and rewards are tallied, and it became one of the most recognisable sounds in the series. As clips, remixes and gameplay videos spread online, the short tune moved beyond its original context and became shorthand for any small triumph. Its bright, unmistakable melody keeps it popular with gamers and video creators today.
