Forgive me for the cliched topic, but what do you think your favorite songs are in the entire series?

I'll start: my favorite FF song of all time is Dancing Mad in FFVI. I'd post a video, but the song itself is too long so I'll just put up the fourth movement (my favorite part).


I would personally consider this to be Uematsu's magnum opus, although you might have a case arguing One Winged Angel as the best song.

In fact, several of my favorite songs come from FFVI (Aria di Mezzo Carattere, Decisive Battle, Terra's Theme)

THOUGHTS.

My personal favorite is "Theme of Love" from IV. However, since there are perhaps more than a dozen arrangements due to the fact that the song itself is often a piece in concert tours, I'd say the arrangement from Game Music Concert #1 back in 1991 would be my favorite.

It's really hard to pick favourites, but the scores for FFVI and IX were just breath taking.






Piano versions, because I am in a piano-y mood. :)

One from each FF since it's impossible to have one favorite. And even one per game is tough!

Matoya's Cave - FF

Generic Battle Music - FFII

Eternal Wind - FFIII

THe Dreadful Fight - FFIV

Clash on the Big Bridge - FFV

The Decisive Battle - FFVI (Only because I've already posted Terra's Theme today.

The Great Warrior - FFVII

The Oath - FFVIII

Terra - FFIX

Some Day the Dream Will End - FFX

No notable music in X-2

The Sanctuary of Zi'tah - FFXI

I don't remember anything from XII

That song is 1000 Words by Jade (in English), Tidusblitz.

The Japanese version is 1000 no Kotoba by Koda Kumi.

I love the Seymour Battle Theme in FFX

Was glad it made it to Dissidia, despite the lack of Seymour himself in the game.

lonlonjp does a lot of RPG music covers and I think some anime. I've posted this before in other threads, but I'd love to see this guy get the recognition he deserves.

Ah, I almost forgot about this one. I especially liked the FFXII version of it. Fighting Gilgamesh was my favorite part in both games XD

Kweh?



Also for the Final Fantasy IX fans~



Final Fantasy IX has a lot of my personal favs in it. Those two are just the first two that pop in my head. Melodies of Life would have just been a repeat.

The ones that come to mind right now:

FF3 - Eternal Wind (Very much due to this ocremix track of it which will always be one of my top favourites)

FF7 - Honeybee Mano--Wait, just kidding. J-E-N-O-V-A, and Jenova Absolute
FF8 - Premonition
FF9 - Terra
FF10 - Decisive Battle
FF11 - Ark Angels
FF12 - Uhm. Seeking Power
FF13 - Cavalry Theme

This list is certainly not set in stone. It really depends on my mood and how I'm feeling.

Aside from the gameplay aspect, I would have to say that easily 60% of my favorite music (ALL MUSIC, not just game music) comes from RPG games. To ask my "favorite" would be asking for almost 20 years of gaming to be put into a single title, and that just couldn't happen. Agreed with Celene in that VI and IX were easily some of the best music I've heard come from a FF game, I'm also much appreciative of a few tracks from X, XIII (shoot me if you must) and IV. All time favorite though? Final Fantasy Pray. I can't find a track that has been composed as how I would compose it minus the mix of it into Final Fantasy's Distant Worlds - Final Fantasy Medley. If anyone can find a full song akin to the way it was played there, please PLEASE let me know.

I've never really been one for game soundtracks.. Final Fantasy is no exception, I just tolerate the music for the most part, or ignore it.

However..



I found myself addicted to this song..

Any of you interested in good orchestral FF music, search for Tour de Japon on Youtube.

I love all FF music, but the two most nostalgic pieces for me are Bastok and Gustaberg from XI. Brings me back to my noob days in 04, wish I could go back :)
