It smurfing is. At the Distant Worlds concert I went to this past weekend, a combination of visuals paired with The Dalmasca Estersand blew me the smurf away, despite having not played the game. It was lovely.
It is absolutely amazing. Have you listened to the Piano Collections album? It's a very nice listen.
The Piano Collections of any game are amazing. XII is one of the great ones though.Quote:

My favorite tracks tend to be one-off tracks that get maybe 15 seconds of air time in the game such as:
It is kind of amusing to listen to how many tracks actually sample stuff from FFTactics and other Ivalice titles.
FFXII had a fantastic soundtrack. I was especially fond of the boss themes.

No mention yet of the completely awesome, one-of-the-best-in-the-series Final Boss battle theme? :eek: eoff, I am dissapoint!
You didn't click my link :cry:
White Room is one of my favourite tracks from any FF game. When it is played at Mr Bur Omisace it gives me such a feeling, it fits so well.
The soundtrack overall is probably my second favourite of the whole series.
FFXII didn't get everything right, but when it did, oh man, it was the best! The music is incredible. Best version of the FF theme.
I can't believe nobody's mentioned how awesome the boss themes were yet!
Well, to my defence, you said "boss themes", not "final boss theme", so I assumed your link would lead to one of the boss themes, not the final boss theme.Quote:

That song is just so beautifully eerie.
Gonna be honest here, it took me a long, long while to be sold on XII. Everything at the beginning was so boring - just desert and more desert and you couldn't really explore or do anything. However once you can finally begin to explore the fabulously constructed world of Ivalice ie. once you head for the Garif village, you begin to comprehend XII's greatness. Every time I replay this game, I just wander about and listen to this song, breathing in how addictive and atmospheric and expansive this beautiful world is.
Have you heard the piano version of the Great Crystal theme?
The Mosphoran Highwaste is a jaw-dropper. I want to record a black metal take on it someday.
This is definitely a top 5 OST for me. I can't hear The Dalmasca Estersand without immediately wanting to stop what I'm doing and start a new game.
Phon Coast always makes me feel great whenever I hear or think about it. Sakimoto's one of my favorite composers and I like the lulls and rises in the songs to complement both the wonder and curiosity of exploration as well as the danger of combat.
My favourites are...
- Royal Capital Rabanastre
- Giza Plains
- Final Fantasy XII Theme
- Secret Practice
- Clan Headquarters
- Rebellion
- Nalbina Fortress Town Area
- Chocobo XII Arrangement Version 1
- Basch's Reminiscence
- The Skycity Of Bhujerba
- Ozmone Plain
- The Mosphoran Highwaste
The only downside of this kind of thing is that they don't stand out as much as the Uematsu's VII/VIII/IX/X works tended to. But I feel these pieces age much better than the majority of Uematsu's works.
Aaack! Debateth ye this topic without me??
I basically agree - this game's soundtrack is surely the one I'm most likely to enjoy playing at a concert myself, in a symphony orchestra. While no single track beats Liberi Fatali, the whole has real qualities. By far the most concert hall compatible FF-soundtrack to date. It's... just a damn shame I don't truly enjoy listening to a single minute of it... :(
BoB: I agree 900% with what you say about aging - couldn't have said it better myself.
I've been listening to the piano collections lately, it's fantastic! After playing FFX HD Remaster and listening to FFXII's music, I really must have a PS3 HD Remaster of this game! I MUST HAVE!
Anyone noticed that Final Fantasy Tactics Advance A2 uses some of the same songs from FF 12?
For eample
Final Fantasy 12 - Salikawoods and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 - Into the Fantasy
Final Fantasy 12 - Esper Battle and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 - Determination
I think there are about 5 more or so, but these are the two I know off the top of my head.
