    Default Looking back...

    For the first time in a while I have went back to replay FFX. I must say, this game had some of the best music, if not the best, of the series.

    To Zanarkand still blows me away when I hear it.

    AGREED.
    I reckon FFX has easily the best music in the series, followed at a distance by FFVII. Tunes like "To Zanarkand" and "Sutike Da Ne" are awesome for emotional scenes, while ones like "Silence Before The Storm" and "Besaid Island" are excellent background pieces that add immensely to the enjoyment of wandering around Spira.
    I think Nubou Uematsu decided to draw his Square days to a close with a masterpiece.

    Before I started downloading game music I replayed FFX over and over just to hear the music

    FFX has my favorite story and my favorite music, which for me are the two most important things in an RPG

    It really pisses me off that I can't easily get my hands on the Official soundtrack, as they don't sell it over here in NZ. The only place I've ever seen a copy is on eBay, and it sold before I had the money together to make a bid. I can't really download it either, as NZ has about the crappiest internet service in the western world.
    That's my little rant over.

    QFT!
    It's actually sad to think that he will never write a FF soundtrack again...
    Now,please SE,let Yasunori Mitsuda (chrono series) take the FF music reins!

    I have to agree, FFX does have the best music of the series (besides a few choice pieces from some of the other games in the series)

    I love Revealed Truth... I think because of the tone at which it is set & it reminds me of a similar piece in FFVIII. I also enjoy listening to Sprouting & Someday the dream will end.

    Its sad that Nobuo Uematus bowed out after FFX, but at least he went out making some of the best music in the series & he really (imho) summed up his time as the FF composer. It feels a little as though the sad pieces of music kind of contain his feelings towards working on his last one & he obviously put his everything into it.

    FFX does have the best music but joint with VII and VIII in my opinion, maybe VIII a few tracks back.
    EOFF needs a resurgence to it's former glory.

    VI and VII beat this game so badly in terms of quality of music it's not funny.

    I think personally its some of the best music. I especially like the Kilika/Macalania Woods tune, I can just listen to it over and over.

    My only gripe is why with all this wealth of music are we stuck with one tune for random battles (except in Zanarkand)? However good, I had to turn it off/down eventually. At least In X2 there were more for battles.

    Funny how you're the only one who thinks this. Could it be because your father drunkenly abused you when you were younger of your irrational dislike of X?

    I agree with cally. Especially when you're trying to fill the Monster Arena, the gajillonth time you hear it, it gets on your nerves a little. Otherwise I can't possibly fault the music, it's one of the reasons I've replayed this game so much.
    This is a signature.

    All of the Final Fantasies have memorable music...except FF12, which was so forgettable it defies logic. Even after hearing the music umptenth number of times the only ones I remember are compositions originally done by Nobuo. So yeah, I really don't hold out much hope for FF13's music to be as memorable (especially if they get the same dude in to do it).
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    Oh yeah, Nobuo left. Well, I don't think the music will be that memorable then for the upcoming FF installments.

    I agree one battle music is annoying -but- I did find the battle music to be decent, I mean I preferred it over FFVII's its just that, all that battling >.<
