FF fans are from all the games, the posers are indeed FF7 fans xD, its a good game and all, but since I think the generations before me are usually worth respecting. I'd say the true fans are FF1 fans and those who played the early games. I mean they've been playing stuff before I was born, so respect to them. : )
I'm playing this game, though its taking me a while I am almost done with the second disc and I know I'm not done with the game but I have only this to say:
If Lightning really did exist in real life I'd soooooo try to date her. :)
@NativeAmericanKnight if you tried to date her, shed flip you across the room, pull out her gunblade, and stands an top of you. then she'll say " im not you average Girly-girl." and shoot you in the leg for good measure. GUARANTEED. no refunds allowed.
Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which is electronic music inspired by great games such as the Final Fantasy series. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!
So... I don't think there is THE ff. What I think is, like, the only ffs I ever played were 1, 2, 11 and 13. The only one I EVER OWNED is FF XIII, so, for me, its the best one. However, the ffs don't share the same history, so I might as well like others. But still, for gameplay, for characters, graphics, and mainly SOUNDTRACK, FFXIII for the win :D
What I like about XIII's music, is it's not designed for inducing stress, or increasing the anxiety of the situation.
It reflects Lightning's soldier-demeanor and gives the player a feeling of determined focus, and preventing the enemies appearance to intimidate them. But that's just my two cents.
@JTown465 I do like your two cents. Nowadays FF gamers look back and say how great the old ones were, but what you really have to do is look into the game and find something new to enjoy :D but that's just my two cents aswell.
@typeing321321321 Wow, thank you very much! I think people forget that all Final Fantasy games are actually pretty good at a certain level. 13 has a really nice battle system that makes for really challenging fights that force you to balance between offensive and defensive positions, and encourages buffing and debuffing more so than any other Final Fantasy I've played. The story isn't the best, but they have wonderful character development.
@JTown465 I agree that the story line was complex with the whole l'cie and Fal'cie, but over all the character development was good as you said, and again with the whole buffing because even at your strongest you still can't beat a few higher monsters.
@typeing321321321 Yeah, I remember being surprised that that I was SUPPOSED to actually use sentinel/saboteur/synergist classes. And once I got the ability to add an element to a weapon, made me so happy.
I remember when I first heard this theme playing FF13 in the beginning. I had to pause the game for like 15-20 mins to hear this piece. Fucking beautiful.
I think many people who call themselves FF fans tend to be FF7 fans really. FF7 is a brilliant game, but so is FF13. They're completely different and shouldn't be compared. Also, this soundtrack is quite badass!!
@kcronig I loved FF7, and yes, it's the best Final Fantasy yet. But I agree, set aside being way too linear, FF13 was a very good game: Characters, soundtracks, graphics, combat system - loved all of it.
I agree! Those who don't like FF XIII (and FF XII also) are just too nostalgic! What came after FF VII and VIII are shit to their eyes because of this nostalgy
@leperot FF VII was also the first mass produced Final Fantasy game in the US because it was the first one on the Playstation and the first times always have a big impact on you
@kcronig ill. ffvii is the best in most peoples opionin. IMO i thought FFX was the best. Some of the best music was in th earlier parts JENOVA/ one winged angel/decisive battle/to zanarkand/those who fight/prelude (ffx)/FFvii main theme. The one i really only liked was the main theme is this game. although i do like some of the boss fights. ffvii boss fight i wasn't impressed at all.
@kcronig ... I will grant emphatically that 13 has a really great soundtrack. But honestly, I find the characters annoying (ESPECIALLY that ditz Vanille), the plot is literally just cobbled-together cliches, with only one or two really decent moments, and the art design pisses me off to no end. Especially Anima. The only decent foe is Barthandelus (whose fight-mode design sucks even worse than Anima's), and... just don't get me started on Orphanus. >>
@TheBlackOni1 the only ppl that are gonna hate you for sayn that are the ppl who are stuck back in the 90's lololol things change so they better get used to it cause as you said ff13 music IS WAY BETTER THAN FF7 so if they hate you for writen that then they'll hate me as well to so you wont be alone
@TheBlackOni1 Being that 7 was the first I played, I guess you could say it'll always ho;d a special place for me, music included. I'm not hating on you, don't get me wrong...let's just say that while this is indeed epic, 7 will always be better imo.
@TheBlackOni1 Well, there are different eras to game music based upon the sound rendering limitations of teh time; the reason taht, say, Mario's theme si so memetic is taht it was originally based around a very simple 8-bit rendering tune, which is to say, simple chords that are easily remembered and so you find yourself humming them. To a slightly lesser extent, this is also true of FF7. So regardless of overall quality, game music as it stands will never be as memetic or iconic as FF7.
@TheBlackOni1 its " better" because its newer and you teens these days only think about the simple fact that ff7 was mades YEARS AND YEARS before ff13
@elijahcrazy I like this boss theme It's all about personal opinion-you can't really debate about which one is actually better because that would be like comparing an orange to a peach. They're both fruit but their unique in their own way.
everytime i hear this song...it reminds me of being late to school...brushing my teeth,puttin on my clothes and forgettin my packed lunch.... :D no kiddin...seriously...
i could easily listen to this song 300 million times before i finally decided it was too much, but then i'd be missing out on all of the other amazing songs from final fantasy -.- does anyone else also share my dilemas =S
Hamauzu's work is amazing, but sadly the difference between his compositions and Uematsu's is that the memorable melodies of Uematsu stick with you, but as grand and amazing as Hamauzu's work is, its unlikely that you are going to remember much, but you will instantly recognize it. I like both for different reasons,
@BackToTheFoundation I don't know. I remember it pretty well personally. Maybe most people can't, but I do. Great music doesn't have to be immediately recognizable in order to be amazing.
@BackToTheFoundation Yeah I agree, won't be humming Hamauzu's pieces as much as Uematsu's, but listening to either person's will send equally large waves of nostalgia.
@RCfan234 It's true, but if you take your time, go for the lower levelled enemies, figure out a good paradigm combo for who you're using, you'll get through it! I had the same problem! :) I can now defeat any of those enemies in seconds hehehe! :P
Wrong I am not. Imho ff12 is the worst of the main series. This fame indeed up being middle of the road, great potential but too much remained from ff12, but first half of game was excellent.
Overall, fans hate on FF 13 out of nostalgia because it isn't a clone of the games before it, but that's a good thing because it add something new to a franchise that was beginning to lose it's flavor. It's good that Square is trying to give it a new twist so that we won't expect the same thing from them and get bored.
The flow of the music actually reminds me of Saga frontier 2, like what kristofori said, the expressionist styles that was put in this piece gives an overall feeling to the track. I just cant wait to enjoy this game.
@CrazyNinjaShadow its very active you need to use strategy and has a upgrading system kinda like the sphere grid from ffx and also a variety of charectars to choose after a part of a game and has many side quests with awesome graphics and amazing drama and action
@markd751 i always look forward to boss battles myself. the only thing about ff13 is it eased you into always being strong enough to easily beat every boss though. still a great game.
Looks like Square-Enix has a worthy successor to Uematsu in Hamauzu (Uematsu went freelance). Fear not Uematsu fans, he's composing the music for FFXIV.
I'm not saying I dislike this track in any way. In fact I think it's great... but really for a "boss battle theme" I was hoping for something with a little bit more kick (Ala still more fighting from FF VII)
This sounds like it should be used in the world map or something like that.
It seems to me Hamauzu's music for this game has more overall aesthetic appeal and less thematic focus, unlike Uematsu where he was all about the melody. Take, for example, the very fast atonal/chromatic piano runs at 2:57 and 3:05. Melodically it makes no sense, but its the expressionistic qualities that add to the overall feeling of the track which reflects what is happening in the game.
I like the new style, but I agree it is definitely not what we're used to from the older games.
@orionpk The music fits perfectly with the game, imo. I'm glad I was able to listen to the soundtrack prior to playing the game, makes it all the better :D
@kristofori Uematsu almost gave older final fantasy games a kind of nintendo-ish feel, didn't he? I guess that's where they started but it continued for quite a while into PS1 and PS2.
@MDHmodder I think the biggest thing was technology. Uematsu had to work with 8bit midi instruments, Hamauzu has a ton of space to work with on the PS2 and can work with much better samples and virtual instruments.
@kristofori I totally agree with you and think you talk alot of sense, this is what i've been thinking aswell. in my opinion, Hamauzu's music is more musically clever. He produces alot of of different sounds in the background that you can just grasp and produces and amazing atmosphere

@CrazyNinjaShadow His music might not have done so well for this game. So far every track in FF13 has fit the mood so perfectly.

@Rexhunterj
I suppose. I wouldn't know; I haven't played 13. How is it? I've heard many mixed reviews.
On a side note, this song in particular reminds me a lot of Kingdom Hearts...

@CrazyNinjaShadow its very active you need to use strategy and has a upgrading system kinda like the sphere grid from ffx and also a variety of charectars to choose after a part of a game and has many side quests with awesome graphics and amazing drama and action

One of my friends loves this song. I prefer Desperate Struggle, though. It's the second boss theme that usually plays for the 64 marks on Pulse.

This fits so well into the game. I pray for boss battles when I play so I can hear this epicness.

@markd751 i always look forward to boss battles myself. the only thing about ff13 is it eased you into always being strong enough to easily beat every boss though. still a great game.

Looks like Square-Enix has a worthy successor to Uematsu in Hamauzu (Uematsu went freelance). Fear not Uematsu fans, he's composing the music for FFXIV.

Hamauzu left Square-Enix after finishing FF13 :P

this is very similar to the boss music in ffX i also heard that Masashi Hamauzu was the real creator of the music in ffX which is great news

3:10 this is really awesome. but it is a bit sad that not all of it is that great

I'm not saying I dislike this track in any way. In fact I think it's great... but really for a "boss battle theme" I was hoping for something with a little bit more kick (Ala still more fighting from FF VII)
This sounds like it should be used in the world map or something like that.
BlackwolfD 2 years ago
It seems to me Hamauzu's music for this game has more overall aesthetic appeal and less thematic focus, unlike Uematsu where he was all about the melody. Take, for example, the very fast atonal/chromatic piano runs at 2:57 and 3:05. Melodically it makes no sense, but its the expressionistic qualities that add to the overall feeling of the track which reflects what is happening in the game.
I like the new style, but I agree it is definitely not what we're used to from the older games.

can't say or make opinions till you play the game about the music

@orionpk The music fits perfectly with the game, imo. I'm glad I was able to listen to the soundtrack prior to playing the game, makes it all the better :D

@kristofori Uematsu almost gave older final fantasy games a kind of nintendo-ish feel, didn't he? I guess that's where they started but it continued for quite a while into PS1 and PS2.
MDHmodder 1 year ago
@MDHmodder I think the biggest thing was technology. Uematsu had to work with 8bit midi instruments, Hamauzu has a ton of space to work with on the PS2 and can work with much better samples and virtual instruments.
kristofori 1 year ago
@kristofori true that. Lost odyssey had an amazing OST.
MDHmodder 1 year ago
@kristofori I totally agree with you and think you talk alot of sense, this is what i've been thinking aswell. in my opinion, Hamauzu's music is more musically clever. He produces alot of of different sounds in the background that you can just grasp and produces and amazing atmosphere

@kristofori I agree. It takes a little getting used to but it's still awesome in its own right.
