FFXII OST Opinions.

I have the whole soundtrack and it's amazing, maybe it is because is not nobuo uematsu who made it and that's why it can sound different and there are some persons that doesn't like, but in my opinion is fantastic, becuase is different from others were they used to use the same music just mixed or remade.

I just got it. Overall it's nothing I really want to sit there and listen to on a CD at the moment. But it's very good music and in a game it's going to be excellent. After I play the game I'll probably like it more for the whole connection to game parts..thing. His Tactics soundtrack was better though.

The 'Loop Demo', the FFtheme remix (' FINAL FANTASY ~FFXII Version~ ') are both nice remixes, which is the intention. I like it better than the X opener, and that was a 'refreshing' theme. Overall I'd rather have remixes than some of the new stuff).

I'm bumping the thread because I don't see a link to the OST's. ALso so people without the game yet could hear the tracks.

I wasn't that impressed by FFX's soundtrack. To many pianos. In the earlier SNES games, and even into FFVII and somewhat in FFVIII, they used the tools that were available, Synths and what not. Well now they have the ability compose full orchestrated music, which even as a composer is more difficult then being able to sit at a Synth and key in notes change cresendos, all that fun stuff. I mean, with a synth, you can change the key or transition different staffs to be flat or sharp. But now, atleast I think, that they have the ability to actually write the music, go into a studio and record, they try to use that and no use of synths at all. Hence most of the songs in FFX and the one's I've heard on this game use strings and pianos, and even Marimbas. Basically the music sounds less video game like and more movie soundtrack like.

The remake of 'Clash on the Big Bridge' has more of a feel to a movie than it does to a game. Mostly when the Marimba's come in as the lower bassline. Uematsu is prolly repeating some of his past works, but hopeing it will work out because now he has the tools to be a music composer for not just video games, but an entire orchestra. I mean.. If I went from Synths to an Orchestra, I'd want to see how my past works could apply. *stops her stupid bandy talk now.* ^^;
