Favourite FF music track

Retr0gamer

I don't want anyone telling us what the best overall soundtrack for a final fantasy game is. I just want your favourite pieces of music.

Aeriths theme (FFVII): Probably the best piece of music written for a videogame. Beautiful and tragic. Sums up her character nicely

Terras Theme (FFVI): Simple yet very effective. When you heard this playing as the 3 mechs journey through the blizzard at the start of FFVI you knew you were playing something special.

Aeon Battle (FFX): A lesson in how to do RPG boss music. An excellent track to have the last boss fight to. The ordinary boss music is quite special also.

Remenants (FFTactics): This track just suits the scene it is playing in perfectly. Fighting Mildred (I think) during the rain storm is one of my favourite moments in the game.

Ovelias theme (FFtactics): Another great track to accompany another fantastic character. Quite a tragic piece to accompany a character who is used as a puppet by people in power but shows her true strength towards the end.

In Zanarkand (FFX): I think this is the one most people will associate with FFX. Uematsu's best track on the FFX soundtrack.

Overworld Theme (FFVII): It will probably be ingrained in my memory forever. The golden saucer theme is as well for all the wrong reasons

Fithos Lusec Vecos Vinosec (FFVIII): From the intro. I think everyone will agree that it is excellent.

Crystal Theme (FFIV onwards): A final fantasy classic. The extended version appeared in FFIV first and features in every FF game.

One Winged Angel (FFVII): Another that I think everone will agree is excellent.

Could go on a whole lot more but 10 is enough.

The Free Man

the zanarkand one popped instantly into my head when i read the title of this.
also i loved the turks theme from vii, and sephiroths theme.... and the rest of them....

I don't the name of the track in FFX. But it plays over the aftermath of the first Crusader attack on Sin. Its just a fantastic piece of music that fits the scene (one of despair/hope) perfectly and i think there's pipe-type instruments used.

Its also used in subsequent scenes (and sometimes along the road on the pilgramage).

Someone must know what im talking about...

I do. It's a great piece of music. Wandering Flame is the name of it. Also liked the track that plays during the raid on the Al bhed capital. Can't quite name it. It goes by a different name on the psf album than the official OST. 'Those who got away' or something.

Oopsy! They are the lyrics and the name of another song on the soundtrack. Meant to say Liberi Fatali.

grimloch

One Winged Angel and I Can Hear the Cry of the Planet are probably my two favourites.

Not to overly repeat whats been said already but that Zanarkand song with the bong in it from X, not entirely sure what its name is.

Excellent choice. Love that track myself. The whole FFVII soundtrack is full of classsic memorable tunes. 'Flowers Blooming in the Church', 'Anxious Heart', 'Life Stream', 'Interrupted by Fireworks', 'Mako Reactor' and 'Opening - Bombing Run' would be my other favourites from the ones not already mentioned.

mokeymokey

has to be the oping music the opening musci to ffx (blitzball bit) or 1-winged-angel

Zapp Brannigan

There's quite a few boss tracks. "One Winged Angel" is the one at the end with Sephiroth.

The generic boss music(see edit) is maybe called "Jenova Absolute" but I'm not too sure and "Birth of a God" is played I think with one of the fights preceeding Sephiroth.

EDIT: I'm a fool. "Still more Fighting" is the generic boss music.

Zapp Brannigan

Thanks Grimloch, Still More Fighting was the one I was referring to.

Been listening to the Advent Children soundtrack all day. Standout tracks for me are The Promised Land, For the Reunion, Divinity and of course One Winged Angel.

evad_lhorg

i have also been listenin to it all day pretty much. I love the whole metal element they added to some of the songs.

i think the battle music from tifas fight is cool. beyond the wasteland is really cool especially with the big bassy sounds at the start. just reminds me of that bit in the film where I didnt know what to expect from it.

for the reunion is also cool. I love piano pieces

evad_lhorg

just been playin through FFVII for the first time. just fighting

Dyne. keep gettin destroyed

.

the gold saucer music is great. really gets you in a good mood.


por midi file compared to the superior ps1 sound but anyways

The Free Man

dyne was tough for me the first time i played it. he can be especially tough if you didnt really use barrett. the best thing to do is let him hit u and you keep curing. just unleash limit breaks on him, he'll go down easily enough

evad_lhorg

it was weird. i was typing that whle i had the game paused at the start of the fight. i just used a choco/mog summon straight away and it paralysed him for the entire fight

The Free Man

lol, good ol' reliable choco/mog!
if all else fails, send a hurtling giant yellow bird at it..........

evad_lhorg

hehe thats racist against chinese people.

super_furry

I'd vote for Aeris' Theme, but the Black Mages versions of Those Who Fight Further and Dancing Madness ****ing rule.

Retr0gamer

I don't see what the fuss about the black mages are. i think they are ****e.

don't like metal eh? tbh uematsu's keyboard is amazing with them. imagine seeing that live!

Creamy Goodness

i love jenova's theme from the black mages.

a great mix of guitars, keys, bass .

It's not that I don't like metal. I like any kind of music. I just think it is ****e. He should get himself an orchestra instead of a rock band. The original Nes soundchip music sounds better than some of the black mages renditions.

My favourite FF music track is from the credits and closing screen of Final Fantasy for the original Game Boy. I cried.

Vokes

The title sceen music for FFX-2 is really quite excellent - shame about the rest of it.

spritey

Time I registered...

FFVII - Jenova Absolute - Can't explain why but I adored this one from the get-go. (It played in the last Jenova boss fight, IIRC).

FFVII - Aeris' Theme - do I need to explain? It sounds gorgeous on guitar, too.

FFVII (sensing a theme here) - Sending A Dream Into The Universe - plays during the flashback of Cid and the rocket, with Shera stuck in the engine room.

FFVII - Still More Fighting - It's damn cool

FFVIII - Balamb - sounds lovely on guitar.

FFIX - Melodies Of Life - but instrumental versions, it was all over the place... a couple of others I liked but I can't remember their names off-hand.

FFX - To Zanarkand - just beautiful.

FFX - Rikku's Theme - Just a nice happy tune

FFX - Jecht's Theme - No, not "Overworld", this one was fantastic!

FFX - Auron's Theme - The epitome of Cool.

I think that'll do for now

Cy_Revenant

I don't think that I've heard a piece of FF music that I didn't -Crystal Theme rocks!- like but in my opinion the sound-track to FFVIII was by far the greatest.

By the way where can I get these soundtracks? I heard that they're on i-tunes but I don't have an i-pod.

spritey

Ah you don't need an iPod for iTunes! Just head on over to itunes.com I think it is... but you do of course have to pay for 'em that way... anyway you download the program and you can browse the iTunes music store.

Cy_Revenant

Cool, but I think I might spring for the ost's anyway.

Anto and Moe

Sephiroth's song 'One Winged Angle' has gotta be the best! (I didn't like the Advent Children version, where they change the lyrics and stick in an electric guitar solo! It displeased me muchly!)

sephirosis

probably not my absolute favourite, but noone else has mentioned it......i really liked beatrix's theme from ffix

:Keith:

Have any of you's heard the Final Fantasy Symphonic Suite? Its good.

It is indeed great stuff, love clouds theme on it.

I'll have to check that one out! Ah, still feeling all nostalgic. There's an acoustic tab of Eyes on Me out there.. sounds absolutely beautiful.

'Reunion' I think it's called is the most engrained in my mind, it's from ffvii and bonus points to anyone who can tell me what area you heard it in,
Anyone who completely completed FFvii knows the area well... too well perhaps..

djmike

I love Julia's theme from FFVIII, I alternate between that and chocobo's theme for my ringtown.

That and MBros Capture the Flag tune- always brings a smile

GLaDOS

Cosmo Canyon...

miss_cheif

Suketi de na, Final Fantasy X, the orginal lyric version and not all that mix stuff they have throughout the entire game. Very nice song.

hyperali

em from final fantasy viii- the opening cutscene, liberi fatali. so kickass the morning of my leaving cert i played that when i was stressing out and it made me think "hell yeah!"
also from viii- "Eyes on me" when rinoa and squall are floating round in space is so good in a horribly cheesy way
otherworld from starting blitzball cutscene in X

OTliddy

Electric de Chocobo is kickass.
