05.19.21 | Blasphemy. XII's is one of the top 5 easily. |
Bandit1786
05.19.21 | I do hear you! But I think it's more a personal nostalgia for me, since I didn't play it right away. Plus, there is a very bright, shimmery quality to that album that has always stood out to me and not in the best way. Definitely a lot of solid tracks on it though, the calm, peaceful ones in particular. |

05.19.21 | Wait, you're talking about the Zodiac Age version aren't you? |
Bandit1786
05.19.21 | It's possible - it's the only version I have. Is there a better sounding version you can link me to on youtube or wherever? |
SteakByrnes
05.19.21 | Top 5 I'd probably go FF6 > FF7 > FF8 > FF13 > FF12 |
Bandit1786
05.19.21 | Steak - if the FF6 score got revamped with some modern midi software or even real instrumentation it would score sooo much higher for me. So many amazing tracks on that one, it's just the 8 bit sound that brought it down some in my ranking. |
SteakByrnes
05.19.21 | I looooove the 8 bit sound lol so it's always been a favorite of mine, I get not vibing with it tho. Kinda funny how 13 as a game isn't too good but the soundtrack is so stellar |
botb
05.19.21 | Sleeping on Matoya’s Cave tbh |
Bandit1786
05.19.21 | Steak - I hear you, still love going through 6. But yeah totally agree, 13 has such a stellar soundtrack and such a meh story lol |
Bandit1786
05.19.21 | botb - Matoya's Cave is solid, though the original doesn't compare with the Black Mages version of it! |
ConcubinaryCode
05.19.21 | Yeah, the ff7 remake was incredibly respectful and improved drastically. I know I saw someone on here saying it was shit which boggles my brain because its basically just the same ost but improved. |
Bandit1786
05.19.21 | Completely agree! Even the new stuff was done well, especially everything going on with the 6/7 annex and the plate collapse |
GmemberKills
05.19.21 | I'd have 9 & og FF7 above remake but otherwise this is perfect.
FF8 is one of my favorite games of all time, even though it seems to have varying opinions I feel like most can agree it has one of the best soundtracks and shows nobuo uematsu riding his creative peak. |
Bandit1786
05.19.21 | Gmember - if I was to re-rank this right now based on nostalgia it would definitely look a bit different. 7 and 9 would certainly be ahead of 7R. Just right now with 7R there's so much freshness and yet still accessible with all the old favorites.
What's your top track for 8? I was between Fisherman's, Balamb Garden, and Tell Me |
WatchItExplode
05.19.21 | Playing X remaster right now and the tunes bump |
Bandit1786
05.19.21 | Prefer the original X music but mostly love both either way. I think the new one's version of Luca was just odd to me with the random trumpet fanfares lol |
WatchItExplode
05.19.21 | I didn't play it when it originally released so I have no point of reference |
Bandit1786
05.19.21 | Still solid regardless! One of the best games. How far along are you? |
ConcubinaryCode
05.20.21 | You can change the soundtrack to the midi based one in the configuration menu for X btw. |
Trebor.
05.20.21 | 9 is by far my favorite.
6/7/8/10/12 are all close behind
nobuo uematsu is a fucking genius |
Bandit1786
05.20.21 | Concubinary - oh nice I didn't know that!
Trebor - agreed, to have that mans music brain. And 9 is amazing, with the PLUS songs included of course |
Sharenge
05.20.21 | disgusting |
Bandit1786
05.20.21 | Lol okay okay what are your top 5 then? |
Sharenge
05.20.21 | sorry, I was just channeling my "fuck remake" sentiments
'VII' and 'X' are really the only ones I can speak on... I mean I did recently play and beat 'I' within the last year or so, but I can't really remember anything standout in regards to the music, though to be honest I probably spent a lot of that playthrough with other music playing |
WatchItExplode
05.20.21 | I have crossed the thunder plains or whatever they are called and moved into the forest. I knew I could switch to the original soundtrack but am enjoying the new one well enough. A ton actually. |
Veldin
05.20.21 | I'd personally have 4, 6, and 12 in the top 5 |
Evreaia
05.20.21 | Top 5 music: VIII > IX > XII > X > XIV
Top 5 Games: Tactics > VI > IV > IX > XIV |
