| So for the last 6 months, I'm working as a massage therapist in a well-known spa. As of late, I began adding video game music to the spa's playlist, starting with, of course, Final Fantasy, as I absolutely love the series (here's a real shocker), but mostly the soundtracks (which, when you think of it, drove me into playing the actual games). I started with the Piano Collections series and the and "Potion: Relaxin' with Final Fantasty" duo (although I prefer the first one, because it doesn't have any vocals, only instruments), which sound like they were actually made to be used in a spa. ...But, these are clearly not enough, and I feel like using more VG music, to feel "at home" while working, while still keeping the calm, relaxing atmosphere during the massage. Basically, I'm looking for calm, ambient, slow, flowing music, using mostly instruments such as the piano, violin, flute, harp, etc... Less jumpy songs, without any surprising parts, and a minimal use of vocals (nothing more than a few spoken words, that is. I want the tune itself to be the dominant part). ....Also, NO orchestras. I adore orchestral music, but it tends to be too epic and grandiose, and I want my patients to... Well, relax. Sorry people. Thank you very much!

Both XIII and XIII-2 have a lot of slow piano themes, maybe you can find some tracks there. There's also some tracklists on youtube called "Final Fantasy melancholic tribute" which are basicly slow piano covers of final fantasy themes.
