Final Fantasy VIII The first game in the series to consistently use realistically proportioned characters, FF8 also threw more of a futuristic mix into the old (Hi-)potion that is Final Fantasy.

The Music

The Music:
i am a very emotionally deep person usually falling into depressed silences which generally makes final fantasy 8 quite a spectacle for me. The music on final fantasy 8 has a lot of feel to it one of the strongest examples of this is the track Love Grows ever listened to it a really felt the emotion in it and also the balamb garden track that makes me go quiet also take a couple of minutes to really listen to any of the tracks on any final fantasy and you'll be surprised to find quite a bit of emotion in there. so here's a couple i found quite emotional
Ragnarock/Ride on= feeling of airyness and want to be with friends
Love Grows= want for a couple of moments with someone very close to you
Timber Owls= want for a couple of days with friends to pull off a prank of some sort
If you chose to listen to any of these i hope you found a bit of happiness or other emotion inside it.

Yep Nobuo is a genius. I loved the final battle music (The Extreme) that was nothing short of epic also The Castle was great very "Final Dungeon"

I Thought IX had some really powerful cool music in it too, particularly these:

Terra
Bran Bal The Soulless Village
Dark Messenger.

+
Keeper of Time (hence my screen name )

I've never really been a fan of the music from VIII tbh. I just find most of it pretty bland. I used to like Eyes on Me, then I heard Angela Aki's version, and I find that to be 50 times better than the one used in the game.

Only piece of music I actually like is Liberi Fatali.

I loved all the music in this game... But how he'd miss those first two I pointed out is beyond me.

Eyes On Me will always have a special place in my heart. I guess I can kinda relate to that. I love the lyrics and Faye Wong did an awesome job singing the song.

Waltz for the Moon is just great! I love the whole piece and whenever I hear that song, I am always reminded of Squall and Rinoa's dance. Heh, terrific job too.

Fragments of Memories reminds me of Bittersweet Romance in a way. I like how delicate the music sounds.

Eh, havent you just contradicted yourself and said this was a thread for music, yet you ask us why people forget about 8 ...


Anyway, excellent OST although Im not a huge fan of Eyes On Me as it reminds me of my first boyfriend. It was our song in a way. I love The Man with the Machine Gun, so 80s glam rock!
