I didn't think it was bad but I honestly do not remember a single track from it. I just finished Persona 5 and I could hum 15 tracks from it's OST right now. I guess it could just be fresh in my mind but I can do the same for Ninja Gaiden and I played that game 20 years ago.

 

[Timeaisis]

Then why did I play all the other soundtracks literally every chance I got?

 

[Squire]

Maybe I'm alone but hearing stand by me in final fantasy just felt fucking weird.

"Stand by Me" is a good song and FATM did a good cover of it, but it was actually "Weight of The World" in Nier: Automata that reminded me how great SE can be with theme songs, in FF especially.

Wait is this true? which ones ere hers? aside from the ones since the versus days.

I think the best track from the game is "Love Lost."

Just hits me emotionally the right way. It would have even more impact if I cared more about the characters, but it still gave me all the feels.

I don't have the OST in my top 5 for mainline titles though.

VI
XIII
X
VIII
VII

Love the ost, but it's a hard no from me. XIII, XII, X, X-2, VII in that order for me...

 

[JBwB]

Definitely one of the best in the mainline FF series. I'm not sure if I could actually pick one above the rest though.

Most of them are amazing.

I wouldn't say it's my favorite mainline soundtrack but it has some very strong tracks throughout. My favorite is one of the late-game tracks, Hellfire.

I came to the realization a few weeks ago that this is probably my favorite villain theme in the entire franchise.

This song has so many stages, it's as if I'm going on a journey every time I listen to it.

 

[AzureFlame]

i disagree, the ost was was lacking, only like 4 to 5 amazing songs the other were very mediocre and not memorable and generic.


for me best ost top 3

FF9
FF8
FF10

 

[Kai Ozu]

Not even close.

Valse di Fantastica

First time i heard it in the overworld i was like what the fuck that tune was the shit.
It really captured how i felt when realised how open the initial overworld is.

I would even wait till the track was over before finishing hunts or entering dungeons.
So good.

 

[Scotia]

It's good, but I think FFVII and FFVIII have the better soundtracks. Mainly VIII.

 

[notaskwid]

IX and XIII are my favorites.
XV comes in the next pack with X and VII

 

[rochellepaws]

Still good but I felt it was the weakest mainline FF OST since V.
Even a few months later I feel Persona 5 and Nier Automata both have superior soundtracks when older FF's used to be so far ahead of the pack in that regard.

 

[Asd202]

Not really it has some of the best battle themes but outside of that it's rather weak. For example town music suck ass.

 

[HMD]

FFX + FFX-2 is by far the best in the series imo.

[Nestunt]

It's not. Simply for the fact that is more enjoyable to listen on your commute than on the game.

 

[Ochibi]

Hellfire

 

[R0nn]

I felt like the soundtrack was incomplete in a way. I was under the impression that it features way fewer tracks than any FF since FFIV at least. Maybe I'm wrong about that though.

 

[Nakazato]

14 and 11 would laugh at this

 

[yamaneko]

Nah fam

FFX is the best FF Soundtrack.

are you serious dude?
