Ian Stocker
This game has some _really_ good music considering it's a licensed game. The composer-arranger Ian Stocker was given Jeremy Soule's (yes, that Jeremy Soule, the guy who did the music for the Elder Scrolls series) soundtrack to the PC 3d-platformer-slash-almost-metroidvania game and tasked with turning it into a soundtrack for a JRPG.
He did an outstanding job of it. This battle theme in particular pulls thematic elements from Soule's main theme, but then subverts expectations going down a completely different path and turning it from a mysterious, atmospheric piece, into an active, even intense battle theme.
This game, with no exaggeration needed, quite honestly has some of the best music the gameboy has to offer. And it's a _licensed_ game, from _EA_ of all people!
