Thread: Favorite Vocal Theme

  1. #1

    Default Favorite Vocal Theme

    Not counting OWA, obviously.

    There is:

    Eyes on Me (FF8)
    Melodies of Life (FF9)
    Suteki Da Ne (FFX)
    1000 Words (FFX-2)

    Which do you like the most?

    We have a video game music forum for this.

    *moves*

    The only ones I ever liked and felt were appropriate were:

    Eyes on Me and Melodies of Life. The ending ballad themes started to get grating afterwards. Though I do like Otherworld as well but the rest have been pretty terrible.

    If you count stuff from the Arranged Works, I also adore Aria Di Mezzo Carattere

    1000 Words isn't terrible. It might not fit but it is a good song.

    Eyes On Me is, as Spoony rightly said, more fitting of Laguna and Julia than Squall and Rinoa...but I guess that's supposed to be part of the whole Love theme of the game. It fit their parents when they were in love so now it fits them.
    But we've already been over how I hate SquallxRinoa so moving on.

    Melodies of Life fits Zidane and Garnet because it's the song Garnet sings.

    Aria De Mezzo Carattere is my favourite though not technically vocal.

    I didnt like the sudeki da ne at the spring scene but I liked it during the credits, similarly with 1000 words, I really hated the Jpop version but adored it at the credits.

    Melodies of Life was very well integrated in the game but though it isnt sung with engrish atleast, there are still some pronunciations that stop it being perfect.

    I'd say I liked Melodies of Life and the credits version of Suteki Da Ne the most. Eyes on Me and 1,000 Words make me Hulk out.

    Hmm, probably Eyes On Me or Melodies Of Life. I just become nostalgic whenever I listen to them.

    Suteki Da Ne was also nice, though. If I knew Japanese It'd probably make a lot more sense.

    What about Kiss Me Goodbye from XII? I like that one a lot too. I don't even remember any of the other ones. My Hands is awesome too ~~

    If we're venturing outside the stuff you get in just Final Fantasy, I love the stuff Gust do for the Ar Tonelico series games. "EXEC_EP=NOVA/." is my favourite from the most recent game, and certainly not something you expect to hear when fighting a boss

    I had to look that up on Youtube, gotta say I now I really, really, really hope we get this game. It really does sounds unfitting for a boss fight, it's really up beat even for Ar Tonelico xD

    "Small Two of Pieces" is the greatest vocal theme ever to accompany any video game.

    Why not OWA? Is it overated?

    I've only really heard 1,000 Words and Suteki Da Ne. I like Suteki Da Ne better but it didn't seem fitting for the end of FFX, if you know what I mean.

    That and I'm thinking more of the "romantic" vocal themes. A lot of ominous songs have vocals in them but I'm trying to stick to just the love themes.

    I personally think Pain is better.

    I was originally just thinking of FF vocal songs when I made this, though.
