What are your favorite Final Fantasy songs/themes?

[Squirrel Emperor]

No limits. Just post your favorite tunes. It can be orchestrated, piano(any instrument really) midi or something someone put together themselves without pay. Doesn't matter!

Here are a couple I like.

"Dancing Mad" from FFVI, Distant Worlds version

"Terra's Theme" from FFVI (Orchestral with lyrics)

 

[Zack]

A few of my favorites:

"Answers" from FFXIV

Cloud's Theme from FFVII: AC

"The Promised Land" from FFVII: AC (always sends chills down my spine when I hear it)

"Epilogue" from Final Fantasy Tactics

"You're Not Alone" from FFIX

 

[Light]

You've certainly asked a difficult question.

Here are just a few that've stuck with me:

"On the Verge of the Assault" - Crisis Core

"Fulfilled Desire (Ending Credits)" - Crisis Core

"Defiers of Fate (OST Plus)" - XIII

"Terra's Theme (Piano Collections)" - VI

"Nail of the Heavens" - XIV 1.0

Honorable mention goes to "Somnus."

Looking forward to listening to all of your tracks.

@Omegaflare: It's not this track, is it?

Or this one?

 

[Omegaflare]

What song do you mean with "it" ? I listed a lot of songs. Which one do you mean?

Ah, right. Where's the antecedent?! I meant "the one that plays when you control Serah for the first time in New Bodhum."

Why are you skipping FF X? It has some of the greatest FF music in the history of the franchise and easily the most beautiful and emotional ones. Nothing matches To Zanarkand (orchestral version), The Dance, Suteki da ne or Ending Theme from FF X when it comes to emotions. It drives me to tears and chills until this day

X's "To Zanarkand" orchestral is indeed one of the best and I should have put that into my top list... But I am not that fan of the rest. They are indeed beautiful but not just in my favorites. I love the game so much, for me X's story was one of the greatest in the franchize and I can't wait for the HD version, but the music never drove me that crazy compared to other titles.

I wanna share something a bit different. I love trance/techno music so when I stumbled upon this guy on YouTube who makes his own remixes of FF music when he gets the chance, I was pumped. I can't get enough of it, and if you're into this kinda stuff like I am, do check his stuff out:

http://www.youtube.com/user/djbetoceba/videos

He's such a legend that he even provides downloads for his music, all for free. And yes, you will need headphones to feel that bass (unless you have a wicked sound system already!).

So, whilst an acquired taste, here's a few some here might like:

FFXIII-2 Knight of the Goddess
FFXIII Blinded By Light
FFXIII Fabula Nova Crystallis
FF Chocobo Theme
FFX-2 Epilogue~Reunion
FFX Besaid
FFX A Fleeting Dream
FFIX Not Alone

...I'm just gonna end up linking them all lol. Go check DJ Beto Ceba out if you're into trance and see what you reckon.
