So yeah, doesn't this soundtrack just kick ass? FFX was my favorite soundtrack so I was expecting nice things when I heard Hamauzu would be in charge of this one, but wow this soundtrack surpassed even my high expectations.
What is your favorite FFXIII track? I can't pick one. Really there's like, twenty tracks that are my favorite. I'll give a special mention to Feast of Betrayal (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OkbwNy2HTk). The name is a bit unfitting though, that one is pretty upbeat xD

March of the Dreadnoughts always makes me think of the Flintstones.
I mostly found the FF13 soundtrack to be rather miss-able. The only one I really liked was the battle theme. If I could whistle I would probably be whistling it all the time.
I consider it amazing. Hamauzu once again proved himself to be an incredibe composer. This soundtrack is one of the only VGM soundtracks that I've listened to that is actually as artistic as many modern artistic musical pieces (Ragnarok (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a9ML5fZJ_g&feature=related) comes to mind). Also, whille I am not a big fan of electronic music, this soundtrack offers some amazing tunes that fall under this category (Will to Fight (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4h1tf1kPvg) and The Archlyte Steppe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_Y6wJMM1Ek)). I did not like the pop elements, though :(

The Gapra Whitewood
Test of the L'cie
No Way to Live
These are my favourites. Say what you want about the soundtrack as a whole but I reckon it has the best battle themes in the entire series.

Can't listen to those right now to refresh my memory, but as I recall, the battle themes were the only songs in the game I liked. Way too much pop sounding stuff for me over all.

I love how varied the soundtrack was. There was a lot pop as well as jazz and rock. There was at least one track in the game that reminded me of every FF I've played. My favorites were ones that made me think of FFX, FFIX, and the ones that stood out on their own as FFXIII.

Honestly? I found this Soundtrack to be very forgettable. I don't know what it was, but none of the tunes really struck me well. Maybe a replay through will change that though.

I always liked Snow's Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tXtDMdhhIY&feature=related), I don't know why though, maybe it being a heroish sounding song, and Snow always wanting to be a hero.

What's that song again that plays when the Estheim Residence was assaulted by PSICOM soldiers? It's also the same song that plays when you're aboard the Palamecia about to confront Dysley.
Also the Gapra Whitewood.

For me, it's definitely Blinded by Light, and Saber's Edge.
I also love The Gapra Whitewood, The Sunleth waterscape, Born Anew, The Cradle wil Fall... my god there's just so many :p

It was ok. Better than XII but still one of my least favorite in the series.

I thought Final Fantasy X's soundtrack was really bad, and Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII's soundtrack was... decent, I guess, so I was quite suspicious of Final Fantasy XIII's soundtrack. However, I think Masashi Hamauzu finally got it right with this score. There's plenty of great tracks in the soundtrack, they're quite memorable and the production values are high, considering how many songs are fully orchestral or have vocals. It's hard to compare FFXII and FFXIII's soundtracks (or even the games), since they're so different, yet I enjoyed them both. My favorite tracks on the FFXIII OST are probably Final Fantasy XIII - Miracles and Born Anew. Oh, and I actually like Kimi ga Irukara. :p

I like the Sunleth waterscape track and my favourite is ''will to fight'' from the 5th ark. ff13 had rather an innovative OST considering the tracks from previous games. FF13 would be incredibly boring with out the more up beat and modern tunes.
Can't stand the Leona Lewis one mind, completly ruined the ending for me.
The soundtrack was really the only thing I geniunely enjoyed about this game. Specifically, this song:
YouTube - Final Fantasy 13 Lightning's Theme / Battle (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n8gWR7USrs)
Even though this is not the game version, which was also awesome, but one that is a thousand times better. This guy is awesome.

It is hard for me appreciate some of the music from the game whilst playing it, I never really thought much of that track until I heard it out of the game. Amazing the sound you can get out of a bit of wood and strings.
I was chilling on Gran Pulse and this sweet jazz tune came on and I was like fuck yeah this is the life. This soundtrack hasn't embedded in my brain like previous ones, but that's not because it's bad by any margin. I love it, it's awesome.

I really like remixes of Blinded by Light. Blinded By Light is the primary battle theme of Final Fantasy XIII. Does anyone have any remixes of this song that they would like to share with me?

This soundtrack sucks balls, especially that smurfing piano tune that keeps popping up everywhere in the game in one form or another.

I didn't really notice the soundtrack (with very few exceptions) in-game. However when I listened to the various character themes on YouTube, I fell in love with them. For me, voice acting and sound effects are too prominent in the later FF games and this detracts from the music that plays in the background. I wish this could be changed effectively without taking away voice/effects altogether, because I like them, too. D=

People that complain about necroposts are the only thing annoying about a thread being necroposted. If mods don't want a thread revived then they can do their part and lock it :b, otherwise mods and members who complain about it only have themselves to blame.

But that doesn't even happen around here. Who complains about something that dumb :confused:
Anyway, we're more lenient about the lower forums that don't get much activity. Usually if a thread is on the first page, you're okay. Also, I listened to Will to Fight in the car on my way to work this morning. It's great!

*Jumps up and down*
Oo, oo, oo, but I haven't listened that much, yet... D-:bou::bou::bou:, I shall have to listen to it all now!
With some more listening done, I'm amazed to discover I've actually taken a liking to the prelude, for once! (WHAAAT?) Tension in the Air is also nice... And there's Pompa Sancta, No Way to Live, To Hunt L'Cie... Born Anew is all mighty and stuff, but smells too much like an OWA-copy... If Masauzu's trumpet samples weren't so ugly, Determination would be a clear win... (The horn samples are STELLAR! EXQUISITE! ... So why such poor trumpets??)
Hm...

I finally got an optical out cable for my PS3 and surround sound system in the middle of my FFXIII playthrough. And wow. This game's audio production values are through the roof. When you combine that with the graphical fidelity and overall presentation, I'd definitely rank this game among the top entertainment extravaganzas of this console generation.
Anyway, my favorite was probably the battle theme, partially because I heard it over and over again watching the trailer for 3 years before the game came out. I'm that way with a lot of FF games.
I also really liked the boss battle theme Saber's Edge (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbDT4BTOkTc). A lot of it really reminds me of FFXII, whose composer (Hitoshi Sakimoto) I'm a hUge fan of. I can just hear Vaan going "Yah!" over this swinging a sword.
Maybe because of Hope...
