I didn't know you lived in Atlanta.
That's a FFIX song though! Tttly counts
Okay, so like Skyblade and several others, I find it so hard to pick my favorite anything, but especially my favorite FF song. There are so many amazing songs that speak to the range of emotional storylines in the series that when I was going through them last night I just got lost in it all.
In the end, I'm choosing this:
Within the Giant is an amazing, forthright and determined accompaniment to the beginning of the fight for Gaia. I'll never, ever forget the amazement I felt as a child when, just prior to entering the Giant, representatives of all races on the planet came together as one to defend themselves.
As much strength as the melody of the song has, there are still background notes that promote a sense of wonder and astonishment for the characters, as they battle their a gargantuan robot and, eventually, restore the sanity of two allies. I love this part of Final Fantasy IV's story, this turning point where everything begins to come together to a riveting climax.
My runners up are The Landing from FFVIII. SeeDs are badass and fight giant metal spiders and ride speedboats.
And I really wouldn't be foaish if I didn't mention a FFX song. I love To Zanarkand, but almost equally I love The Path of Repentance from Via Purifico. Because smurf you, I beat the Via Purifico Maester Mika. Bastid.
