Overall, which "era" of FF do you think had the best music in it? This might be a close poll since so many of the games had great music!

I really can't decide. XIII has my fav soundtrack overall, but there's so much perfection in all eras :ohdear:
PS1 & 2 eras. I can't decide which is better though so I'm not voting. Ha.
Which is funny, seeing how you loathed XIII.Quote:

PS1 followed very closely by SNES.
I'm going to say the PS1 era. The likelihood being steeped in nostalgia. Critically, I'd say that the Snes era was just as strong compositionally. As graphics evolved, there was a need for the soundtrack to take on a more cinematic quality, which in my opinion, has resulted in an ambient soundtrack that *works* but isn't necessarily as musical and enjoyable standalone.
VII and IX had the best music in the series, so that one! :D
IV and X get honorable mentions.
PS1
PSX and it's not even close.
PS2 era, followed by PSX, then SNES, then NES.
PS1 fo sho
SNES easily. But the PS1 era is nice, too. PS2 stuff was hit and miss, but the overall soundtrack to FFX was great.
VIII had the best music. You can't beat Liberi Fatali.
PS1 era FF IX
I'm kinda surprised this is as one-sided as it is! I honestly think the SNES games had the best soundtrack and the PS2 games come in second. Like, not to say the PS1 music wasn't bad, because it was very good, but I guess I just have different preferences than everyone else :shobon:
PS1 era for me! Nothing can beat VIII, and VII's imho. Although Mystic Quest had some awesome music too I must say!
Got to vote for the SNES era ! FF IV, FFV, and FF VI had some classic and beauitful musical tracks ! PSONE era is a close next though.
The way the eras are divided makes this tougher than I'd have thought. FFVI has a phenomenal soundtrack, but IV and V (while great) just don't boost it enough to reach the prestige of a combined VII/VIII/IX.
SNES Era, but I love them all.
I chose the SNES era, but only for the Opera house in VI. If that wasn't there id choose the PS1 era
Bah. went ahead and voted for SNES> Dat FFVI OST.
Ps1. Three solid Nobuo games, doing things he just couldn't have done before. I also think VII is his best soundtrack.
I'm going for IX as best sondtrack, but VII does have some great tracks too.
PS1 era had a consistantly higher quality, though damn do tracks like Dancing Mad and Battle on the Big Bridge make this a hard one to give to PSX.
