    Dancing Chocobo Which "era" of Final Fantasy did you think had the best music?

    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

    Which is funny, seeing how you loathed XIII.

    I didn't loathe it. I just feel pity for it because it's such a hilariously terrible game that could have been something great. Hamauzu is an amazing composer either way.

    PS1 which has IX and VIII which I think are still the best two soundtracks in the series.

    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!

    IV and X get honorable mentions.

    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.
