    I havn't listened to the album as such but it goes without saying that Gilgamesh's theme owns all. But i love all the music of FFV from the opening theme to the ending theme (speaking of which... a tune played during the ending is the same that is played during FFVIII's ending if im not mistaken) Also... the tune played during a flashback in Bartz's village (when stella dies) is almost identicle to the opening of the song "a little's enough" by angels and airwaves (im sure of this though i need to double check) Im also fond of the chocobo theme (cant help but hum it when it comes on) X-deaths theme is great too

    Dear Friends mostly has good songs that stay true to the original versions, although there are a few I don't particulary like there, such as "Critter Tripper Fritter" (I know it's supposed to be funny, but that's too much for me!), "As I Feel, You Feel" (the music is very beautiful, but the speech sounds quite off). The others are enjoyable, though, especially Lenna's Theme, "Pirates Ahoy!", The Land Unknown and Dear Friends. I like the references to Finland in the CD, such as "Waltz Suomi" ("Waltz Finland" in English), the lyrics sang in Sami and the Lappish chanting in some of the songs.

    As for the actual soundtrack, that one has lots of great songs. Here's a list of songs that I like on the OST: Ahead on Our Way, A Presentiment, Four Valiant Hearts, Lenna's Theme, The Battle, Victory's Fanfare, Requiem, "Pirates Ahoy!", Tenderness in the Air, The Fierce Battle, The Dragon Spreads its Wings, Royal Palace, Nostalgia (my favorite song on the OST, it's very sad), Reminiscence, Musica Machina, "My Home, Sweet Home", The Airship, The Evil Lord Exdeath, The Four Warriors of Dawn, Battle with Gilgamesh (this is excellent too), Unknown Lands, "As I Feel, You Feel", The Land Unknown, The Book of Sealings, Searching the Light, The Decisive Battle, The Last Battle, The Silent Beyond, Dear Friends, Final Fantasy, A New Origin and The Prelude.

    If you're talking about the song that plays on the forest when (FFV Spoilers)Galuf makes a flower field around the party at the end of FFV and during (FFVIII Spoilers)the big SeeD party video at Balamb Garden while FFVIII's ending credits are playing, that song is called "Final Fantasy" (at least in FFV), and it plays in a lot of FFs, such as FF1, FF3-9, FFVII AC and FFXII.

    The Land Unknown is pretty much sex turned into music and then played thoroughly.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    My favorites are definitely the Land Unknown, My Home Sweet Home, Fate in Haze, and I Feel As You Feel. For those who want to hear the music, you can go to this website: http://xenogamer.com/v5/

    I'm playing this right now, I like the Remniscence, I think that's the one that comes in whenever they talk about The Dawn Warriors/what happened in the past. Possibly one of the best aspects of the game, when this kicks in.
