[TOP 100] RPG Battle Themes #83 Final Fantasy Tactics

[JadeDan20]

eh, i hardly remember music from Tactics- but i definitely hear the influence it has on FF 12

[TheEclipse5]

in every other FF, Chocobos are peaceful chicken things that help u get around.... in FFT, they sick a meteor in yur face......

[jinggo78]

Uh oh don't stand there or you'll get hit by Choco Meteor! CRASH!

[Laruku66]

chocobos!! D:

[DarkKnightCessi]

How did Square get so lucky with its composers? All the Final Fantasys have such awesome music that I sometimes spend as much time listening to the music as I do playing the games.

[Millus1987]

CHOCOCURE CHOCOCURE CHOCOCURE CHOCOCURE CHOCOCURE CHOCOCURE

ragequit

[beatsan]

Choco-Cure all around WARK!

[robokou]

Aside from the points made about the Chocobos, I always loved this song. So epic! ...until you find out you're fighting Chocobos.

[smitc21]

People making Tactics and FFXII both worked in the world of "Ivalice..." this game still remains in my top 3 after 15 years... Square come back to making games like this!!!

[Ahluk1]

This reminded me of Final Fantasy XII, and now I know why

[DakkonDS]

there are much better tactics music themes a 100 times better than this one. i hated this one. stupid chocobos.

[jgtc]

@DinoRave888 VELIUS!! That guy was a bitch.

[smitc21]

@jgtc:

Yes he was. But did you know he could be silenced? I didn't know until my third or fourth playthrough. But even then he can 100% petrify you... yes, he was rough.

[42jemini]

The beat dose not quite seem as hard as I remember. Is this the DS version by any chance?

[Iceindra]

What reminds me of this song the most. Going into a plain and finding 12 or so monks staring at me dead in the eye. That was a fight I will never forget...

[sinituuke]

I still haven't beaten the game, but it's just because games like Disgaea with their Item Worlds and super-level-upping have made my tactical thinking quite blurry. I mean, in this game the titular Tactics mean truly mean TACTICS. I'm doing quite nice progress, but not as smoothly as I'd like to. Well, seems like I'm not a pro afterall... xD

[WPCsonikku]

Hey chocobos can kick ass, why do you think they used to be a summon? Its just that people never had to worry about their own ass being kicked by the chocobos, and of different colors with different abilities! Ugh... Choco Meteor I swear lol

[ThinkYouCanPlay]

This game is the only app that I'm looking forward to once it's released in the iPhone. I just can't get enough of this game.

[IzenDias]

It seems FFT taught FF fans to fear chocobos...

[Xyntech06]

@IzenDias if you've played it, u will feel our pain...especially when u get 2 meteors, and 2 choco balls focusing your one and only healer =(

[CimElgor]

Haha I remember xD

Ramsa as Black Knight (or however that class was called)

give him Excalibur II and some other epic Sword and he's invincible xD

God damn I hated it, when he got confused haha xD

[zanazans]

God I remember this game... I miss it so much! D: had razma ninja everyone...

[Razor7343]

MONKS!

[boitahaki]

Video Games Industry: where real musicians are

[Vitallevur]

why the hell do I like this song without even playing Tactics?

Oh I played Blessed by God's of gaming Vagrant Story, and oh what? composer is same dude!

...mhm...like it wtf why? xD tididi ididi

[lpenrike]

do u know where i can find FFT's OST?

[terichio]

I only ever really found the fight near the beginning in Dorter to be rough. Then again after Dorter I ended up force-leveling my party a lot before each new orange dot >.>

[aquapendulum]

Tactics, Vagrant Story, FFXII, Revenant Wings, all in the same world. Should've used the same battle theme for that reason alone.

[caralarms]

Final Fantasy Tactics has such a fantastic soundtrack. Epic, just like the story. One of the best games I've ever played.

[ThanksLeRoux]

@caralarms I am 100% agree, the fact is this game is the closest of what perfection mean...

It would be perfect, if in the story walktrough, it's not getting far more easier when you got Orlandu.. The first time I played this game, I have big memories of tough battle(Like the one against Wiegraph/Velius) but as soon as I got Orlandu, it was too much easy..

At least there was some kind of impossible battle, like the one with King Behemoth, Dragons etc.. ^^

[Vagrant026]

Your more than likely speaking of Dycedarg Beoulve, eldest sibling of House Beoulve who eventually became Addramelech the Wroth.

[TheExcelancer]

Epic Game, Epic Story, Characters, Music. Data Screen music is just hearmelting beautiful

[mrbombasticFF]

fucking hard game but still amazing.. underrated even

[calvinsora101]

I can see where FFXII's music got its inspiration. Very cool.

[sec0ndevolution]

Hitoshi Sakimoto is an exceptional composer.

[Fantasist197]

i....love....this.... THEME SONG!!! YEAH MOFOS!!

[ItsKalas]

to tell u the truth i prefer playing Final Fantasy Tactics for the Ps1 since the one on GBA has some laws which sorta sucks when u just wanna lvl and kill monsters BUT thing is once u die on the Ps1 version u gotta make a new char since u got up to 3 turns to revive him + its challanging like that <:

[broodm]

its actually quite easy (even w/ that factor)

i think PSP is better than psx version

[SuperPandas]

The Laws killed FFTA for me.

But I still played the crap out of it. I got stuck at some point of FFT, it was at a boss that I had to fight and couldn't move anywhere to train. I could never beat him.

[SkyCardis]

@SuperPandas

lol that was the Roof Top Battle with the guy and 2 assassins...was so hard trying to save the brother and sister...bleh

[CandyKoRn]

This is very good music! :3

[KrumpetNylon]

Ramza xD

man without the music and sound effects i would never have gotten through the long battles xDD

[HentaiNek0]

I wanna play this in my Orchestra class! D:

[Hanzo365]

I didn´t know that Hitoshi Sakimoto has composed musics for this game... Some of Valkyria Chronicles´ musics sounds much like this..

[Halaitsame]

Apoplexy! Personally I only like half of it, the normal battles half. Still an excellent choice from one of the best games ever.

[Shalazorthewizard]

FFT had the best music of the series. Of the Tactics series anyway...

[kyuubiKlaw]

i know right!the main battle theme from advance better be up there,it was sooo carefree,yet empowering.

this is great tooXD

[wiegraf9009]

83? Really? I hope to see more FFT up there!

[Laidaeion]

ap⋅o⋅plex⋅y /ˈæpəˌplɛksi/ [ap-uh-plek-see]

 noun Pathology.

1. stroke

2. a sudden, usually marked loss of bodily function due to rupture or occlusion of a blood vessel.

3. a hemorrhage into an organ cavity or tissue.

[moogleii]

Great game. A true classic.

[OmegaChosen0]

Such classes As Dark Knight and others weren´t made for unlocking...it kills the feeling on it..what is next they will let us unlock Holy Swordsmen for anyone?

Ramza being able to take special Jobs would be cool

[OmegaChosen0]

Only Ramza+Final Fantasy can be called Tactics these new ones are for kiddies

[jimbo1983]

tactics.. never to be redone. i hated the remake and thus im scared to try the others {tactics advance 2, etc}. Tactics has so many good memories and such a good system with no load times.. and lets not forget the amazing story; especially the dialogue in the remake for psp

[Anarnee]

Advance is ok.... there are just too many ridiculous rules.

I would just stick to the original, game company's are getting too gimmicky...

[MengoMango]

i only remember this song with the awesome noises player such as "Woooooooo" and "Aaaaaaaa"

[marioriveraestrada]

play mgo , xD

[kevthegreat28]

lol "Aaaaaaa" (dead) ha!

[redwolf481]

one of the first games I ever beat(left many games unbeaten

[AbsoluteZ3R0]

Lol the irony, this is perhaps one of the only games I never beat

[BigDiff7]

I beat it too, took several hours to beat too because each battle could last up to a half hour lol.

[DeathbeastGregar]

This music certainly gave you a sense of breaking through enemy lines.

[Shadowii2]

Especially when you had leveled up your characters enough, that random battles are nothing but massive overkill.

[darksion]

sadly cloud wasnt too great in this game...

[suzaku58]

yeah cause he had to have the materia blade equiped....

chaos blade was better....moreover, some his attacks took FOREVER to initiate.

[AngelRuler1]

I have tactics, but I could never get into it. I remember this song VERY well from FFXII though.

[JonathonRedley]

*looks at the picture of choice*

Man they have thick thighs. o.o

[Exleusa]

The image is shortened vertically a bit--they're designs are stocky, but not that stocky.

[WindTouzoku]

ah this song is like ingrained in my head, it was onnFFXII then on FF tactics and sometimes I'd put my people on auto just to level them. This song is one of the like 3 battle songs they had so it seemed like it was always playing.

[Zadok83]

FFT, one of my favorite games of all time! However, the was the one track that I couldn't stand in the game. Every time I'd go to battle and here this, I would scream!  I guess its just a taste thing, cause I like all the other tracks.

[boonsandrider]

Most addictive game...ever.

[Kletianthewolf]

I HATE, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE, the remake for the psp. Spell effects were laggy, you couldn't fluidly ready the incorrect usage for Shakespearean English, and you could make broken Dark Knight characters. All frustrating elements :(

[Necromancer1230]

I love the game and the music

[CidLuneth]

Final Fantasy Tactics is one of the best spin-off Final Fantasies that isn't part of the numbered series. I love the game play, the story, and everything else about it.

[Prototype1218]

God, my sentiments exactly. Chocobos have never been as feared as in Tactics.

[ShinigamiKyra]

Absolutely right dude, absolutely right...

[WuAgent]

nothing scarrier than having to battle 10 chocobos of all colors and having the red one drop meteors on your people.

love this theme BTW.

[WindTouzoku]

Red Chocobos o_o

Choco meteor....

[terichio]

@Prototype1218 I never hated a chocobo until this game. I still love to hunt Reds just to kill them with my old PSX save files.

[dwoga]

Wow this bring good memories... my favorite tactic game ever!

[dork0holic]

xD i hate this song xD

everytime when i hear it, i know im goin to be fighting nothing but 7 Yellow Chocobos, 2 Black Chocobos and 2 Red Chocobos xD hahaha

[DBLHNDR]

ahaha xD yeah,

i mean like normal chocobos with a movement of like a million is bad enough

and then they pile you with reds and blacks who can use ranged attacks xD

[jinggo78]

@dork0holic I think I found out why this song has this name. Look at what the word means. ap·o·plex·y/ˈapəˌpleksē/Noun

1. Incapacity resulting from a cerebral hemorrhage or stroke.

2. Incapacity or speechlessness caused by extreme anger.

[emochild987]

sounds like ff12

[StormrageXD]

It's the same music composer, it should sound the same. :D

[SymphonicNinetales]

Yup, Hitoshi Sakimoto composed all of the Ivalice FF games.

[ternaldo]

never realized how good this sounds...

[balor66666]

tactics advance 1 soundtrack and story were pretty cool. was great to play as a child as the music itself had a childlike innocence to it. A2's story sucked anal cavities.

[bigjhathaway]

I guess the only Composer that should do any final fantasy game involving Ivalice, whould have to be Hitoshi Sakimoto.

[celexter]

Hmmm... It's been so long... I still manage to remember this theme faintly though.

[XoRandomGuyoX]

I'm just singing to the choir on this, but great game and great music. It was fairly challenging too, until you got you-know-who. XD

[vrfvrf]

called Orlandu =)

[Paulie1980]

Battle on the Bridge is the best battle theme in this game, hands down.

[mariohart]

holy hell where did u get that image for the video

[coscientology]

final fantasy tactics: the lion war

[ElTrain61]

"Trisection" was the best battle music from FF Tactics IMO. But that's just nitpicking, this was still a good choice. This was probably my favorite game, all time.

[FroLogic]

This game is hard as hell, but it sure has some great music!!!

[Ratonga]

AWESOME. All the battle themes in this game are awesome, but this is one of the best. It sums up the entire game on its own. <3

[patsupfan]

FF Tactics had some of the greatest battle music ever.

[ScooterFox1]

Oooh, Hitoshi Sakimoto. If I'd ever do a similar list of my favourite battle themes, Sakimoto's works would flood it. His soundtrack for Vagrant Story is amazing too.

[RocmanRaz]

Best TBS EVER MADE

[SamuraiMasenko]

this game was amazingly brilliant, and they were so right in using the same music for final fantasy 12. the regular battle themes just wouldn't cut it in 12, you know? it was just...

different.

the pylraster was the only thing really hard for me in 12, but yiazmat was annoying.

nice choice!

[AkuMaV]

i liked under the stars and Antipyretic in FF Tactics those were epic

[SnapAEng]

All of the battle themes in FF Tactics are brilliant.

[Nameherexxx]

Meh. In my opinion, this was a good song in FFT, but not the best. Still pretty good though.

[tofiroidetube]

hey, the tactics advance has way better soundtrack than this one

[StewNWT]

LIES

too bad the advance story blew kiddie chunks

[tofiroidetube]

its true!

[superbuggy222]

But you didnt have to wait 9 turns to cast a spell >.> Other than that I HATED the game boy version

[StewNWT]

The soundtrack for advance was also quite good, especially for Gameboy - but COME ON FF Tactics fans want a deep story not this kiddie crap. FF Advance 2 is even worse. The judges were more annoying than innovative and the menu was a little cumbersome (and the mog class of characters just stank). I still played ~60 hours on it but nothing motivates me to go back....now the original tactics on the other hand, that shit is GOLD.

[superbuggy222]

there's 2 advance ones?!

[vrfvrf]

yep there is, for the DS, called Final Fantasy Tactics A2 Grimoire of the Rift.

[superbuggy222]

And how is it?

[Veszerin]

they suck balls tho

[Thevideosucks]

Who the hell gave this guy thumbs down? He's got a point... Tactics was a grown-up's game.

[galenloire]

I know, it had a mature and complex theme that I enjoyed.

[CleverDjembe]

Ahh Apoplexy rocks!
