| Trouble with the audio sample? | |
The Victory Fanfare (勝利のファンファーレ, Shōri no Fanfāre?), also known as simply "Victory" or "Fanfare", is a recurring piece of music that appears in many Final Fantasy games and is used often after a battle is won. While the same arrangement since the original Final Fantasy has been used repeatedly, certain titles contain different arrangements after the intro, or a new arrangement entirely.

| Trouble with the audio sample? | |
"Fanfare" plays after the player defeats an enemy encounter. Final Fantasy VII is the first game to use a different arrangement after the intro. Two variations of it are played at the end of of a chocobo race, "Jackpot!" which is played after a victorious race, and "Tango of Tears," which is played after a loss. This is also the first case where an arrangement plays on the victory rewards screen, instead of the rest of the fanfare.
Final Fantasy VII: Advent ChildrenEdit
Loz's ringtone is the "Victory Fanfare" and plays during an interrupted portion of his fight with Tifa Lockhart in Aerith's church.

|
| |
| Trouble with the audio sample? | |
Named "The Winner," the track plays at the end of a successful battle against an enemy or boss and after winning the card game Triple Triad. The track also uses a different arrangement after the intro.
Final Fantasy IXEdit
| {{{image}}} | |
| "Fanfare" | |
|
| |
| Trouble with the audio sample? | |
The track is titled "Fanfare." As the nature of the game was in many ways to return to the series' roots, and in doing so, make connections with some of the previous games, Final Fantasy IX recovers the old Fanfare melody after two (main series) games of absence (excluding the variations heard at the Chocobo Square in Final Fantasy VII). In addition, the fanfare associated with key items or plot points from the earlier games is played simultaneously with the victory fanfare.
Final Fantasy XEdit
| {{{image}}} | |
| "Victory Fanfare" | |
|
| |
| Trouble with the audio sample? | |
The "Victory Fanfare" plays after defeating an enemy encounter. Like Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII, the fanfare uses a different arrangement after the intro. A short version consisting of the intro may also be played after obtaining certain key items.
Final Fantasy X-2Edit
| {{{image}}} | |
| "Mission Complete" | |
|
| |
| Trouble with the audio sample? | |
An entirely different arrangement not following the original motif, this track is named "Mission Complete" and is played after successful battles and missions.
Final Fantasy XIEdit
Since battles are very frequent, the Fanfare only plays when the player character Levels up; though other players can see the level up graphic only the player in question hears the fanfare.
Final Fantasy XIIEdit
| {{{image}}} | |
| "Victory Fanfare ~FFXII Version~ | |
|
| |
| Trouble with the audio sample? | |
Named "Victory Fanfare ~FFXII Version~", it is played after winning boss battles. It brings back the old ending used in the classic Final Fantasy titles from Final Fantasy to Final Fantasy VI as well as Final Fantasy IX.
Final Fantasy XIIIEdit
| {{{image}}} | |
| "Glory's Fanfare" | |
|
| |
| Trouble with the audio sample? | |
An entirely new fanfare is used, entitled "Glory's Fanfare." Composed by Masashi Hamauzu, it is aptly followed by "Battle Results," a soothing vocal track accompanied by piano and synthesizer.
Final Fantasy XIII-2Edit
| {{{image}}} | |
| "Honor's Fanfare" | |
|
| |
| Trouble with the audio sample? | |
Similarly to its predecessor, "Honor's Fanfare" is an entirely new composition containing a synthesizer, which draws similarities to "Glory's Fanfare" and "Battle Results" being a rather peaceful tune. It was composed by Naoshi Mizuta.
Another track, titled "Blessed Fanfare," is Mitsuto Suzuki's composition and draws similarities to the traditional "Victory Fanfare" being an upbeat tune. It also uses synthesizers like "Honor's Fanfare."
In a departure from previous Final Fantasy games, the two pieces of music serve an in-game purpose: "Blessed Fanfare" is only played when the player has finished a battle with a five-star rating, and "Honor's Fanfare" is played when the player has achieved four stars or less.
Final Fantasy XIVEdit

| "Bell of Victory" | |
|
| |
| Trouble with the audio sample? | |
In place of the standard Victory Fanfare, Tactics Advance's original tune, composed by Hitoshi Sakimoto, is "Bell of Victory". It is the eight track in Disc 1 of the original soundtrack. While the soundtrack features two versions of a track; a GameBoy Advance original version: synthesized from the console's built-in sound engine, and the "Full Sound" orchestral version, there is only the GameBoy Advance version for this track.

| {{{image}}} | |
| "Grasp Victory" | |
|

| Trouble with the audio sample? | |
Though not as a song, Hurdy mentions it in the quote "I have to play the Victory Fanfare when we win, right, kupo?" during the final battle.
There is also a track called "Grasp Victory" that plays whenever the party wins a battle. It is composed by Hitoshi Sakimoto.
