Let light fill your heart with courage and hope.
For DS Version:
Victory Fanfare and Normal Boss Death for the Final Boss, that's my only complaint. Faithful to the original? Then have that freaking boss sink away into nothingness, will ya?!
And at first I foudn the Boss Music And FBOss music not that great, but since I downloaded the OST, I take back those words. Final Battle DS rocks.
That's all, maybe I'll have more once I get the game.
For Original Version:
Final Boss has only 2 attacks... And she only uses 1 of the two, just great...
Really only the poor treatment of some songs in the game (Noah's Lute, and the final boss theme...) disappointed me.
I'm not going to argue, but I thought FB DS sucked too in the beginning, but now with Headphones and a good quality OST track, I find it to be pretty good. Well, very good actually. I had to take back my words.
So, simple question, did you face the FB yourself or did you watch a crappy recorded video? The difference was so big between the two I nearly fainted. Just asking...
Yes, I've completed the game. Like alot of the rearranged music for the remakes/ports, the emphasis on certain melodies/beats/whatnot seems different, and in this case, the final battle track doesn't seem to focus on the melody enough to give it the same epic 'OMFG FINAL BATTLE' feeling the original had. This might also have to do with the orchestral direction in the rearranged soundtrack, too.
Not that I really hated it, I just prefer the original. Maybe if I had a nice pair of headphones it would sound better.
Now, Noah's Lute, on the other hand. It doesn't even sound haunting or mystic any more. It just sounds like the beat to an Irish folk song. I guess if that's really how they wanted it to sound, but I don't really like it whatsoever.
Well, overall everybody agrees that with headphones music sounds better. Headphones + Final battle + VERY LOUD = Well, pretty good, it does, at least for me, indeed sound like that 'OMG FINAL BATTLE!'. What really didn't make me feel 'OMG FINAL BATTLE!' was the victory fanfare and the normal death of the boss.
*Listens to original Lute of noah and DS one*
You know, you're right. The original sounds more mysterious. The DS sounds just... normal?
Anyway, thanks for clearing this up.
What i dont like about the game is the fact that you need wi-fi to unlock basically all the side quests at the end of the game. I know theres a couple but none that compare to the Wi-fiable stuff. I dont understand how anyone years from now will be able to unlock this stuff if they fire up the game. I dont see the reasoning on having to send a bunch of messages out to people that you dont even know. My guess is the majority of people just send something stupid like maybe the word "spam" or other stuff like that. Maybe thats just me though.
As far as the music goes, i've played through the whole game with headphones and i really like it.

*SPOILERS!!!*
Two things I dislike about the game: no save points in the final dungeons (if you die or want to play the final parts again, you'll need to play through at least Sylx Tower and Dark World again), and the fact that you'll need to use the WiFi to get most of the side quests done.
As for the DS final battle music, I think the parts leading to the final battle (when the Dark Knights sacrifice themselves etc) are pretty good, but the actual battle theme could have been better, IMHO. The good parts start when the strings and cymbals hit, but they last for a really short time, and I think the song is also too short.

"One-Winged Angel" is far and away the best final boss song ever

I don't like the fact you can't buy ethers.
The fact that you can happily get by without spellcasters for most of the game until the end, at which time spellcasters become the most godly characters in the game (NES version only).
There is no signature here. Move along.
The fact that now that I finally manage to save almost enough money to buy a DS, I can't find the game anywhere in town. >_< So now I'll have to order it online and wait more days before being able to play.
Alright, before I start, keep in mind that I'm an extreme purist.
The only thing that really bothered me in this game was the weird magic order.
I mean, it does look weird when Bolt3 and Fire3 are placed in the first column, while Ice3 appears in the second column for some damn reason.
And it's even placed after Break!
Break - Ice3 - Shade
Bolt3 - Kill - Erase
Fire3 - Bio - Warp
Why?
It doesn't make ANY sense whatsoever!
And yes, you all know this matters to you as well, because wouldn't you feel annoyed if the base spell Cure was listed after Esuna, Soft, Life and Wall?
Yeah i think it just shows up in the order you learn it, but if you one in the front and then learn it again it will be in the back and you can move them around however you want.
