Even though my one favourite tune of all time resides in FFVII's, I'll still go with VI. I've never been entirely sure why.

Even though my one favourite tune of all time resides in FFVII's, I'll still go with VI. I've never been entirely sure why.
8 and 9 are too different to choose...
FFVI is definitely at the top. IX and VII are close behind, but nothing touches how amazing almost every track is on the VI soundtrack, and how well they're used in game.
It still amazes me that even though I detest Final Fantasy VII and pretty much everything that involves it, its soundtrack is my favorite in the series. VI, IX, and IV are all tied for second place, and Liberi Fatali from FFVIII gets an honorable mention.
Overall, FFVII.
FFX definitely! There were only two tracks that I didn't absolutely love.
It's a tie between VI and IX for me. XII's is nice as well...
Its hard to choose as I tend to think which ever soundtrack I listened to last was the best. However it seems that VI gives me the most "heart skips a beat chilling moments" than any other FF soundtrack.
I'd say FFIX. While they were some underwhelming tracks, ones like You are not Alone and Melodies of Life just topped it off. There's also the great use of A Place to Call Home. FFVII is a close second, just because of the amesome bad-assness of some of its tracks, but I feel it lacks emotion compared to IX.
Thinking more about it, i'm going with FFIX because it's an overall great OST with no bad tracks and it has the most memorable songs for me.
Oh man, this is a real hard one. There are songs from EVERY final fantasy that are just amazing, and some final fantasies that may have an overall lacking OST have one or two songs that are better than all the rest.
But the best overall OST would have to go in this order I think:
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy II (yes i said it :) )
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy VIII
Oh and XII comes dead last even though I really liked the game.
I've always considered Final Fantasy IX's OST to be Uematsu's magnum opus. That being said, I also adore the music of VI which comes in close 2nd. VI is my absolute favorite game overall of the series and I hold all of it's aspects in high regard, but I can wholeheartedly admit that IX's OST is superior.
