I'm not sure about this but are there themes for every character? It seems that there're not; only some characters have themes (as opposed to how every character has a theme in CT and FFVI).

I definitely know these:
Cecil--march-like military-sounding theme in G minor
Rydia--a beautiful theme in C major
Rosa--a lovely theme in C major
Edward--an excellent lyre solo in C major
Cid--a spirited march in D major/D dorian
Golbez--an evil-sounding organ theme in E minor

But how about Kain, Tellah, Yang (is his theme the same as Fabul's theme?), Palom&Porom, Edge, and FuSoYa? What are their themes?

I haven't played Final Fantasy IV in a while, so I can't remember their themes. I think all the characters have their own theme. At Final Fantasy Gods Oblivion Network, I have found a lot of midi's from this game. Mabye, one of them can be the theme of these characters. I hope this can help, good luck!

They didn't give individual character themes until FFVI.

But let's give them themes anyways
Kain - T-1000's theme from Terminator 2. Or Vader's theme. Meh, they're all Drama Queens
Yang - Kung Fu Fighting
Tella - Hello in There by Joan Baez
Palom & Porom - That song the Osmonds sang in the Pepsi Twist commercial
Edge - Opening theme from "Ruroni Kenshin"
FuSoYa - Ancient of Days

How can that be true when only certain songs play when certain characters are put in the spotlight, and why the song that plays whenever Rydia comes in is called "Rydia's Theme"? Maybe not all of them have themes, but i'm pretty sure there are individual themes for the major characters. I'm not saying your wrong DP, i'm just wondering....

I'll say he's wrong. I don't see how you can see any possible use for a track named "Rydia" other than as Rydia's Theme.

Oh, and Edge Mursame, it's usually appreciated if you utilise the site you're on rather than linking to another site for something we already have: FF4 Midi

According to that track list (which was taken from the OSV), the following characters have explicitly labeled themes:

Rydia
Golbez
Cid
Giott
the Twins

This is not to say that other pieces are not utilised as character themes, but I couldn't tell you off the top of my head.

I think I barely remember hearing that, although I never associated it with the twins. But maybe it is, so scratch the twins off the no-theme list.

Edit: I also found the track "The Lunarians" but I am not sure whether or not to count that as FuSoYa's theme (I don't think I will, though).

well, i dunno about actual themes, so i think ill follow DP and make my own up.

Cecil/DK-"Angel with the Scabbed Wings" Manson
Cecil/PLD-"Intergalactic" by Beastie Boys
Rydia/kid-"By Myself" LP or "The Kids Aren't Alright" by Offspring
Rydia/adult-"Bittersweet Symphony" The Verve
Kain-"In the End" LP or "The Sickness" by Disturbed, and possibly "Where is My Mind" by the Pixies
Rosa-"Fell in Love with a Girl" White Stripes. although it misses the point of the song, i still picture her to the song.
Edge-"Come out Swinging" Offspring
Tellah-"Last Resort" by Papa Roach
Yang-"Wait and Bleed" Slipknot
FuSoYa-"Moonbaby" Godsmack cool.gif
Golbez-Darth Vader theme is nice, but so is "Devil Man" by White Zombie
The Twins. Boy-"Break Stuff" Limp Bizkit and Girl-"Paradise of Rave" Happy Hardcore--cuz i cant think of anything better right now.
Edward-"Homo Rainbow" Ween. (for those of you who dont know, that is a real band).
Cid-"Iron Man" Black Sabbath

I for my part consider the "Theme of Love" as Rosa's theme, as well as the "Prologue" being Cecil's theme, and "Melody of Lute" as Edward's (and maybe Tellah as well, due to the connection between them, through Tellah's daughter).

I think those are the ones that I referred to as Rosa's, Cecil's, and Edward's themes in my first post.

But for Tellah--I don't think he has an actual theme, though.
