Best OST? - Page 3

Hmmm, i would choose FFVII, with IX and X coming in second.
I sometimes listen to this sountrack to chill out.
The Cosmo Canyon theme is awsome, Beach Boys-like Chocobo theme, the chilling Those Chosen By The Planet, Boss Battle theme, Opening/Bombing Mission are just some of my faves, not to mention the absolute brilliance that is One Winged Angel...

Chosen By the Planet is damn good...Cosmo Canyon's alright...the chocobo songs annoy me though.

I forgot to metion FF IX's Vamo Alla Flamenco, and Kuja's theme, love those, and maybe Vivi's theme.

X easy, matter of fact i think its the best game soundtrack ever made, IX is next, beatrix theme is awesome.

hands down, would have to be VIII.

when I first put the game in the disk tray and turned it on, I had wondered whether this soundtrack would rival or best that of VII (I play video games primarily for the musical aspect, focusing less on graphics and playability). I was in for a treat. Liberi Fatali struck me as the best opening theme song for a video game, and I still stick to that belief. later on, I listened to things like The Landing (Dollet mission) and (Balamb city), and just became immersed into the game; I could hardly put it down, wanting to know what awesome and beautiful track would come next.

of the tracks, The Landing and The Legendary Beast would have to be my favorites. I can just imagine a full symphonic orchestra in a stadium filled with Uematsu fans...it gives me chills just typing about it, hehe.

VIII's soundtrack is immensely better than VII's, and i managed to download several songs from one of Uematsu's concerts, it sounds quite impressive live. Of course i'm sure nothing could ever compare to actually hearing it firsthand...but i doubt i'll ever get the chance for that.

IMO it's gonna be IX. every piece seems to be inspired and not just any random melody, it has the most number of arranged albums. It's even reported twice that Uematsu claims it as his favorite among his works.

FFVI's soundtrack. I can pretty much listen through the three CD's and only skip a track occasionally. The other ones have great music too, but with them I find my self fast forewarding through many of the tracks.

For me, FFVIII’s soundtrack is by far the best as well as the most memorable followed closely by FFIX and FFX.

Anyway, VIII’s soundtrack is one I can listen to over and over, especially the ending of disc 4.

I really can't decide on my favourite. They're all full of emotion and beautiful pieces of music. Sometimes I like one better than the other. It really does depend on my mood.

I suppose I could say I have a favourite three. Those would be VIII, IX and X. Don't get me wrong, though. One of my favourite songs of all time is 1000 words from X-2. It's just I don't like many of the songs on X-2s OST.

The music in VIII always reminds me of a particular moment or place. The emotions expressed there, or the discoveries. It fits in so well with the story and I can almost play back scenes in my mind when I listen to certain tracks. I have to say, I didn't enjoy it so much before I played more of the game. It's an OST that's better appreciated after thorough gameplay.

IX is much the same. There are some tranquil pieces in there that I like regardless, but to find a deeper meaning in each piece it's necessary to play the game.

X has always been an OST I've enjoyed listening to. To Zanarkand remains one of my favourite instrumental pieces of music, and the Ending theme is just wonderful. Haha. I can't decide between those three.
