Best 25 Final Fantasy Songs Ever!

[MattTheParanoidKat]

Hello patrons of the video game universe. You guys probably knew this was coming eventually, it's time for you long time fans of one of the most epic RPG series in history to decide your absolute favourite Final Fantasy songs. Since there are so many of them, you must think hard.

First things first, establishing the ground rules.

Choose your top TEN favourite Final Fantasy songs

I mean, even though it says "Best 25" that doesn't mean you should choose 25 of them. This is merely a voting thread, and once all of the votes are in then I'll declare it in a new thread.

Also...

Only choose Final Fantasy songs

Pretty obvious, but if the game doesn't have the name Final Fantasy in it's title than it doesn't belong. So, no Kingdom Hearts or Chrono Trigger songs, even though they do have great soundtracks, it won't do. Also, don't forget to cite which game your favourite songs are from.

That's pretty much it in a nutshell, also to those unfamiliar with most of the series, and it's songs go here: http://ffmusic.ffshrine.org/

The best place to find songs from nearly ever game except twelve, and a few others.

So, I'll get things started.
-------------

1. Gilgamesh, aka Clash at the Big Bridge [FFV]
2. Celes [FFVI]
3. Terra [FFVI]
4. Aeris [FFVII]
5. Lenna [FFV]
6. Suteki da Ne [FFX]
7. Fanfare [All FF except X-2]
8. One Winged Angel [FFVII]
9. Otherworld [FFX]
10. The Prelude [ALL FF]

Thats it, simple.

[EnconXV]

B-b-but, do I really have to choose...? Ok...

1) Clash on the Great Bridge (V)
2) Terra's Theme (VI)
3) Boss Theme (VI)
5) Boss Theme (IV)
5) Battle Theme (VI)
6) Battle Theme (IV)
7) Zeromus' Theme (IV)
8) Shadow's Theme (VI)
9) Exdeath's Theme (V)
10) Final Fantasy Theme (All)

[ZenGaijin]

I've completed only 3 FF (well 4 if you count X-2) but out of those titles.

1.) JEcht's a.k.a Sins Song (death metal in FF?) [FFX]

2.) The Turks theme [FF7]

3.) Victory Theme [FFXII]

[Dobio]

Not nearly enough FFIX songs. Anyway, I'll give it a go...I have most of the soundtracks on my CPU.

I don't really think I can list them in order, so I'm just going to list the 25 songs that I can think of that I like the best. (Also, it's too bad you aren't including Chrono Trigger/Cross in this list, cause there are some GREAT songs on both those CDs)

1. Jesters Of The Moonless Sky (FFIX)
2. Freya's Theme (FFIX)
3. Rose Of May (FFIX)
4. Maybe I'm A Lion (FFVIII)
5. Protecting My Devotion (FFIX) Seriously, this song is AWESOME.
6. Terra ( FFIX) BEST SONG IN THE GAME
7. Bran Bal, The Village Without Souls (FFIX) Softer version of Terra, still very good.
8. You're Not Alone! (FFIX) Another really good song, probably second best....
9. Theme Of Love (FFIV)
10. Main Theme (FFIV)
11. Into The Darkness (FFIV)
12. Shadow's Theme (FFVI)
13. Celes' Theme (FFVI)
14. Terra's Theme (FFVI)
15. Aria de Mezzo Carattere (FFVI) [The Opera Song]
16. Another World Of Beasts (FFVI) I dunno, I kinda like it, reminds me of Chrono Trigger a bit...
17. Wind Crest ~ The Three Trails ~ (FFX-2) Probably the only song I like on this soundtrack...
18. To Zanarkand (FFX)
19. Other World (FFX)
20. Auron's Theme (FFX)
21. Suteki Da Ne (FFX)
22. Seymour Battle (FFX)
23. Ending Theme (FFX)
24. The Man With The Machine Gun (FFVIII)
25. Nashmau (FFXI)

Oh, and I guess there's a few good songs on FFVII soundtrack, but most are highly overrated....

[54uR0n]

Provide fucking links.

Anyways, here's my top three favorites:

1. Celes's Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMVA6yNTr wU
2. Eyes on Me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8uXWMNri io
3. Original NES Intro Theme: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/6 4459

I'd finish the top 25, but I'm too lazy to locate all those links.

Thanks for contrubuting, and yes FF7's has some great song, just it's a little overated, personally, 5 and 6 assrape it. But, since you ACTUALLY 25 songs I'll guess I'll have to count the first 10. If that's okay. I made it pretty clear about that :/

But thank you.

[Dobio]

lol. I told you they weren't in order, and you aren't going to get enough contribution to make a top 10 list anyway....

Fair enough, and it's true, I really, really could get some people to contribute to the thread. Which is why I put it in the sig. I mean, People do like Final Fantasy, and feedback about the music is usually positive. Except when you factor in a few features. Like the number of people who vist this forum, and the majority of the BBS being complete idiots. Oh well, might aswell roll with the punches so to speak.

Actually, that song was recorded by Rammstein, the metal song you're talking about. It's pretty badass.

Wait, no. Otherworld is not by Rammstein. Definitely not by Rammstein.

[Ragnarokia]

add the decise battle themes from each, take the last boss themes and then add some messenger of destruction, some battle on the big bridge, you're not alone, the landing, one winged angel and jenova from advent children, add a few more occasional ones, add the final seymour battle...how many is that so far?

Hmmmm, you seem to be right. I've always heard people say it was by Rammstein and I've even downloaded it and it had Rammstein as the artist name.....

This is true. Uematsu is the unofficial god of Video Game music. And when X-2 was released and he wasn't there to help... we knew it was bad.

I think it's the actual FF3, also I put that wrong.

It's "Battle 2". It's definitely not FF6, I remember that game quite well.

11) Kefka's Theme (VI)
12) Aria Di Mezzo Carattere (VI)
13) The Four fiends (IV)
14) Figaro Castle (VI)

16) Cosmo Cannon (VII)

And that's all I can think of at the moment.

[WarteryMind]

One Winged Angel owns ALL!
