>> No FF Victory Fanfare??

[black orb]

>>> I was listening this game`s soundtrack and I didnt find the classic Final Fantasy victory fanfare.
Im fearing for the worst, if they really took away the classic victory fanfare this game is dead for me..

[Loony BoB]

Just think of it as a non-FF game and you should appreciate the whole thing a lot more.

But really, I do miss the FF fanfare. At the same time, I can understand that it probably wouldn't have fit into the music style for the game in general... not that I was overly impressed with the music style in general, admittedly. I think in the voice acting era, music has taken a massive back seat.

It certainly doesn't ruin the game on any level, but it is a bit of nostalgic music that you always enjoy hearing. Not having it was a bit of a shame.

>>> Damn, Squarenix went too far this time..
The victory fanfare fitted perfectly in FFX, there are no excuses for this..

[Loony BoB]

You know what music I missed the most, though? The boss music from FFVII. I loved that. I was hoping a version of it would feature somewhere, but alas, no.

[Freya]

Yeah I was wondering if it was near the end or something since I haven't beat it yet but it's gone altogether? Now that's sad, the Fanfare is likthe best FF thing ever behind chocobos and moogles

[black orb]

>>> Now that i think of it, I dont remember listening the main FF theme or the Prelude theme in this OST either.. WTF?.

[Loony BoB]

Which ones are they? As in, when are they played in other FF's? =x I should probably brush up on this stuff...

[black orb]

>>> FF Main theme
FF Prelude theme..

[Wolf Kanno]

My guess is that the composer chose not to cause all those tracks are from Nobuo. XII had all of them but I think part of the reason is because Nobuo did help a little with OST and also its obvious the team was filled with long time fans.

Some of the music does sound familiar... I wonder if a few tracks are remixes of themes from X and X-2.

There are two Chocobo themes on the soundtrack: Disc 3 Track 10 and Disc 4 Track 4. Otherwise, there are no references to Uematsu's work.

[Ontibile]

The only piece of music I really miss in the Victory Fanfare. It would have fit fine.

Fortunately, being as I am, I hear it in my head anyway. I usually am humming it to myself and getting weird looks from anyone passing through the living room.

[SuperMillionaire]

I just heard the track; it was nothing compared to all the previous fanfares.

[Flying Mullet]

As long as you resort to violence to solve your problems no one is victorious.

[Fynn]

The new one is still very similar, though. The melody goes in the same directions. It's what I would have imagined as Hamauzu's take on it.

>>> My guess is that the composer chose to break with a 20+ years tradition and no one at Squarenix give a flying smurf..
