Coming back to this one and having a chuckle as the song in particular has become relevant again thanks to FFXIV. Not even as an "ah man I sure do like the Four Fiends!" thing with Barbariccia turning up, but in a "the newest fight's rendition for Rubicante sounds almost identical right down to instrumentation and approximate lyrics" sorta way. Check it out!

According to the comments and the video description there, it sounds similar because it's actually the work of the same person! Kenichi Maeyamada aka Hyadain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenichi_Maeyamada) who I was personally most familiar with as the artist behind the first Nichijou opening. Following wikipedia links you can reach the ffxiv blog post where he's credited: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/blog/003414.html
It's super crazy and cool how after all this time he got pulled in for an official arrangement.
