Ever since Final Fantasy VIII, Square has graced almost each FF game with wonderful vocal themes (or, for the most part wonderful at least). Which is your favorite? My personal favorite would probably have to be "Eyes on Me", because it was so much a part of the story and added so much to the Julia/Laguna story, for me at least. :D
Also, what do you think about the now series staple of adding a vocal them? Yay or nay?
Theres a vocal in FFV and FFVII :)
But yeah, "Eyes On Me" is a beutiful song, and I rate the scene it plays in as one of my favorite FF moments ever.
And yes, I think it's good to have songs.
I like 10's the best. It's the only one I can remember the basic theme of.
I think they were interesting in the beginning, capitalizing on the "big movie song" that Titanic moved to the forefront. The problem is that I feel only VIII and IX got them right cause their music is actually part of the story. The later entries seem to have music for the sake of it, X-2 excluded but in my opinion X-2 should be disqualified cause none of it was good... *runs from his GF*
Favourite would be Suteki Da Ne from X, just over Eyes on Me. Both were done really well, they fitted in with the game/story and added that extra something to the mood. I probably just favour Suteki Da Ne becuase I recently played X and enjoyed it more than VIII.
IX was also good, and fitted but, it only worked in the end.
Wow, I dislike all of them. I didn't come here to hate, but after looking through the list I can't pick a single one I liked.
You practically took the words out of my mouth. Especially for the last part.Quote:

I really like Eyes on Me, but Melodies of Life is my favourite, it's a lovely song.
Eternal Love, like Get Down? I know the song's name is Promise, but that meme popped in my head when I read that.
Anyway I voted for Melodies of Life from IX. Really like that song.
Me too!Quote:

Suteki Da Ne, the background music is just so nice
Kiss me goodbye, I think this one gets underrated as it doesn't seem, on the surface of it, to link with the game. I think it does, an underlying theme of the game is losing love (dead husband for Ashe, Dead families for Penelo, Vaan and Ashe, estranged families for Fran, Balthier, Basch and Larsa). Its sad but realistic in a way, sort of like the end of FFXII
My Hands, took a few listens but i love it now. Love the lyrics and Leona sure can belt it out!
I loved the FFVI opera scene though thats not really vocals,
One winged angel is pretty epic
Eyes on me would probably be my favourite if we didnt include FFVI
I liked the ending credits orchestral version on Sudeki da ne, the one at the springs was ok
Hymn of the fayth was short and sweet
Couldnt understand anything in Otherworld Until i looked up the lyrics
Real emotions felt like a refreshing change
didnt like 1000 words on the thunder plains, loved the version in the credits
Why are One Winged Angel, Otherworld and whatever the name of FFV's one not on the list?
One Winged Angel didn't have any vocals in FFVII, only in subsequent version.
And yeah, why isn't Otherworld on the list? It and the Advent Children OWA are the only vocal ones I really like.
