Final Fantasy XII OST : The Royal City Of Rabanastre

[mckamike]

i wish games nowadays would stir this kind of emotion in me. just awe inspiring. unless anyone has any ideas of games on ps3 or 360 that have this kind of quality music. i can't think of any on the top of my head. if anyone asks which game i think has the best soundtrack it'd definitely be FF12

[TheTom5ive]

the city.. the music.. sweet :)

[PicturelessStories]

gahhh this song is so good. Just bought tickets to see FF music live... Nobuo Uematsu will be in attendance!!!!

[RonyClay]

FFXII didn't have such catchy tunes as most of the others ff's, but they were incredibly well made.

[lolli00lolli]

@luvfunnyjacii it is use ww.vidtomp3.com and it wil download any youtube track for you

[wiilover55]

FFTA 2 still owns this game, sorry, I know they both take place in the same world and have linked stories, but FFTA 2 is better.

[RickygoesRawrr]

@wiilover55

i found the first tactics better :)

[wiilover55]

@RickygoesRawrr Me too, I'm glad I still have my copy of it :)

[CHARLITO227]

Final fantasy 12 certainly has the most expansive music list of any other FF, and any other game ive played. I still cant understand why game review sites like ign, dont even put this one in the top 3 FF games!



[boifuel]

when i hear this music the first thing that comes to my mind is the sound of vaan's armor walking in the streets and that sound when you walk up next to a npc and talk to them :D

[EurasianWolfSpirit]

@boifuel XD Thank god I'm not the only one that does that.

[azura13liss]

this song plays when you hopping around the market place! LOl! such a good music to shop to!

[Luvfunnyjacii]

Thumbs up if you wished that this awesome song was available on download!!!!!!

[ffajx]

Final Fantasy XII

Episode 12: Home sweet home!

After travelling in the desert, our heroes return to Rabanastre in order to upgrade their equipment and checking any new Marks when...

[julex234]

Rabanastre feels so homey... I wish I lived there

[drunktarutaru]

One of my favorite things about FFXII was that it had music from the FF Tactics Advance series :)

[gringolazlo]

Right... FFXII, here we go. Lets talk to that big weird creature there see what he's got to say. Might check out that desert next.. though better get some supplies from the store once I find it.

[n543576]

Im still captin bash.....

[JaceXander]

12 has the best music I've ever heard in a game. Absolutely incredible for me anyway! The Estersand <3

[kanshiketsu89]

@JaceXander

Idk if you've played FF 4, a lot of people say it had the best soundtrack of all FF, and I totally agree.

[BDaDennis]

Genius!

[93vincentvalentine]

We totally need a HD remastered version for FF X,X-2,FF VII DoC & FF XII :)

[n543576]

I LOVE THIS FUCKING SONG lol

[eddiegness]

Is still waiting for FFX and FFXII to come out on PSN...

[inamerica55585]

For those that don't like the new Final Fantasies, it's probably because, like with many gaming companies, Square Enix is making its games easier to play and more accessible to appeal to a more casual audience, thus removing part of the geek factor.

[indieglee261]

does anyone else agree with me that this sounds like music from a jewish celebration or something like that?

[tiomigue07]

I wish my memory of FF12 can be erase, so I can play FF12 all over again.

[TheShiroShini]

@tiomigue07 good point *-*

[Milomia9]

@tiomigue07 Thats what I think about every FF game.

[Wystearya]

Haaaahhh, such memories this theme brings forth...

I need to continue my game now. >v>

[acicon]

dat Viera ass

[Krazytaco34]

This reminds me of when me and my brother play FF12 on our PS2, when he attacks he sometimes goes "Reh!" or something xD lol and then my brother makes fun saying "coem here and get a bottle of Reh-juice >:U!" and im like o.0 wdf lol

[michaaltje]

AGREE WITH THE COMMENT WITH SO MANY THUMBS :D

[bubbaXzone]

i disliked ff12 for alot of reasons. But doesn't mean i appreciate the game ;).

and vaan is in final fantasy dissida 012 (psp) WOO!

[SammEater]

Oh yes so many good memories, wait I'm still playing since 2006, AWESOME. :P

I love the world of XII its so huge (maybe that's why XIII is so "linear").

[antholeon87]

@SamiFFXIII Absolutely! :D

[93vincentvalentine]

i really want to get the international version of this game :(

[SpaceFilmStudios]

Graphics under gameplay.

[kmxloco]

i kept going to south gate to take a look if it was raining in giza plains or not

[bubbaXzone]

@kmxloco yea i <3 rain haha

burmecia is my fav place in FF9

[TheGuardianCore]

I love the fact that Vaan doens't talk at all in the game XDDDD It's so stupidly awesome.

[h445]

Totes love this game. Brings back memories of staying up late with my girl, playing well past our bedtime.

[DangoPup]

...brings back so many pleasant memories~<3

[inamerica55585]

This is great music for conveying the idea of a thriving city.

[juanaloulehoux]

Brings back great memories of when I was a freshman in high school, playing this game every weekend when I was kind of shy and not brave enough to go out and do what the other people my age were doing. This made me smile automatically! The good old days.....

[Zentai88]

I want to live in Rabanastre!!! :)

[BeLikeWater1000]

All hail Montblanc

[Jabbiwocki]

Please Check Out My Lets's Play of Kingdom Hearts!!! :D

[idontcarel]

i fucking loved this game

[TheKenolaBar]

WELCOME TO THE MOOGLING, KUPO.

[oulietas]

i have this game at DS i want it at my ps2 as well :)

[idontcarel]

@oulietas the DS is a crappy version, its a totally different game

[oulietas]

@idontcarel its the same man just worst graphics better as ps2

[HardStyleCivilianHSC]

god theres no place like home i loved comming back here when i'd finish my missions or spent a long time away from Rabanastre it just feels like freedom.......

[VenomFrogX]

Rabanastre looks like the place at the end of Star Wars: Phantom Menace. (The part when Vaine Solidor appears). ^^

[HardStyleCivilianHSC]

@VenomFrogX it also kinda looks like the wedding scene after they get married right!

[VenomFrogX]

@HardStyleCivilianHSC

Yup. :)

[VenomFrogX]

@HardStyleCivilianHSC

Actually, come to think of it, Gabranth is very much like Darth Vador and Balthier is like Captian Solo.

[MetalGearSolid578]

@HardStyleCivilianHSC The thing is, it is. Rabanastre is where Rasler and Ashe got married.

[brainjuice654]

great soundtrack for a horrible game, sorry guys didn't like it

[xSpellSingerx]

@brainjuice654 if its different the best graphic on ps2 is not ugly who are u god or something?

[brainjuice654]

@xSpellSingerx graphics mean nothing.

[DJVirgoNeun]

This one, Battle on the Bridge, Dalmasca Easternsand theme, and Clashing Swords had to have been the only best songs in FFXII including the main title theme. All the others felt a little boring ^^;

[0Banjo0]

Started playing this again yesterday. When I heard this music I was like :D

[Stingerbot]

I love how the FF games people always "attack" as being weak tend to be the ones with the best overall musical compositions. On a technical level orchestral pieces are always harder to compose and perform perfectly for an audience.

This is by far one of my favorite pieces to come out in any game. I love how each instrument comes in, specially what happens at 0:17 - 0:22 (listen carefully) and at 2:17+.

I loved the characters. First games I loved the NPCs who joined you. ^_^

[XxXEmirIXxX]

I LOVE THIS GAME FUCK MY CHILDHOOD I MISS IT =(

[Andyfletcher1]

Y'know... I do like this song... The most bizarre thing about it though, whenever I go into town for whatever reason this gets stuck in a loop in my head. All themes considered this isn't bad for going from shop to shop and what-not

[CitanKainUzuki]

3 people are Imperials.

[darklighter315]

this was my first sinal fantasy, and at age 11, this was a GREAT introduction to the series. i've fallen in love with 3 and refuse to think of a class with more power than a geomancer.

[TheKrustaceox]

I like XII the best mainly because theres almost no Sci-fi bullshit enviroments.

[EquineFreak]

The OSTs are definitely one of the best features of the game, second only to the unique free-roam system that differentiates it from all the other games in the series.

[2BWholeAgain13]

Rabanastre FTW

[airbendergal]

2 People do not have a gaming conSOUL.

[2BWholeAgain13]

@airbendergal 3 apparently >.<

[PolishedMetal]

I don't know why but when I ALWAYS see Fran I think on Playboy! LOL

[darkarrow3]

@PolishedMetal they designed her like that on purpose xd

[theeman0]

How many people here think that if FF13 didn't have HD graphics, it would have been a trillion times worse than FF10/12?

Other than that, really great theme. Always stuck in my head when I play :D

[RevanMarek79]

Best FF ever made! I love it!! Th music, environments, story...ahh.

And characters are cool, especially the women, ahh so HOT!!! Fran, Ashe, Penelo, wow-whee babies! :D

[centraluv14]

What I like about FFXII is the unique gameplay and you can move real freely.

[Shadowstorm8]

I'm so glad I picked up FFXII, as soon as I heard this song I knew it was going to be awesome.

Best town theme ever.

[6114882]

@lifeisdead01

It isn't "one" of the best, IT IS THE BEST.

[XGiftedGamerX]

My only complaint about this game is why weren't there any moogle and/or a bangaa characters that joined your party? Games like these should have almost one of every race join the party...

[renatonovis]

@XGiftedGamerX well I think they covered that in the FFtactics advanced and FFTA2 but it's just what I think xD

[cne4ever35]

Beautiful!! As every FF music!!

[SeanNelsonIsTheBomb]

I hated this game but loved this song.

[Volviert]

Too bad they need to complex VA and soundtrack due to DVD space ( 4.7 gig ). Here is in much better quality.

[XessenceXt]

I love this song, I can just imagine an symphony playing it! ^^ One of my favorite songs of all time~

[mavadoman]

There's no way this game is worse than FF13... 1.FFx 2.FF12 3.FFX-2 4.FF7 5.FF9 6.FFt 7.FF6 8.FF8 9.FF3/FF4 10.FF1

[invaiderzen]

I love the feel of the game; and I also love the steampunk look of the clothes and machines, and last but not least the awesome characters :)

[Volviert]

@invaiderzen

Yeah, always have a crush on Ashe...

[NASTAR01]

Whilst I thought that, overall, the soundtrack wasn't as good as other games in the series it did have some beautiful pieces present; and this was definitely one of them.

[wilowitch]

Do you know who composed this track? :D

[PsychoKrazyTime]

@wilowitch Hitoshi Sakimoto.

[wilowitch]

@PsychoKrazyTime Thank you!

[aquapendulum]

Home sweet home baby, it's the Royal City of Rabanastre!

[holycrap989]

:) this song cheers me up for some reason...

[hernajb185257able]

@holycrap989 :)

[ccdrev99]

Uhgg, i want to play this game but i cant find it anywhere around my house :(

[movielover19f]

amazing, definately in my top 3 games EVER, who else is testing bad company 2? :) U can get your own pre release beta copy of the game @ BetaTestGamers 2 thumbs up!

[Wimpywrath]

This is THE BEST GAME in the RPG genre for PS2..!!!

[Yamibooze]

alongside tales of the abyss

[dilandauomi]

Wow... So I'm playing Legaia 2: Duel Saga, and in the town Kravia, the music REALLY reminded me of Rabanastre in FFXII... so I wikipedia it and find that Hitoshi Sakimoto was the composer for both games...

[Pissant950]

ah ah ah ha i remember this song i loved it. this game brings back memories

[heartlessman554]

penelo...omg ... so retarded in this picture

[Gunner193]

@heartlessman554

DERP

[heartlessman554]

@Gunner193 What is DERP??

[Gunner193]

@heartlessman554

An expression for retardedness. It's according to your comment about Penelo.

[heartlessman554]

@Gunner193 Yeah I already knew that was towards my comment about Penelo...I just didn't know what it meant...K then

[123Megasavage]

this game always made me nervious because it was really bad if did something wrong in the beginning, this song makes me more nervous

[lifeisdead01]

One of the best games on PS2, and, subsequently, on of the best games of all time.

[ImLikeEpic]

@lifeisdead01 More truthful words could've not been written.

[LeMelleKH2]

@lifeisdead01 My favorite is 4

[saber919]

hey this song is brilliant! any ideas where i could get it? please?!?

[donsargent]

ff tactics has one of their greatest worlds. ivalice. they made 4 other games off of it lol.

[Kain5th]

This song has that Fiefel (yeah the mouse) sound to it. Like an innocent little kid has just stepped into a huge world of near infinite dimensions.

[Runeless]

I agree. That's a great description of this song. It does have a childlike innocence, and gives you a sense of curious exploration.

[talorandrew]

great song

[murderisg]

this song reminds me of Final Fantasy Tactics

i love it

[Dunkanta]

As much as i disliked the mechanics of FFXII, the music was of high standard and this is one of those great tracks.

[Videoboy45]

I LOVE THIS SONG. A huge sense of peace and adventure.

[yousini]

i hate this song

[Pissant950]

it hates you to

[yousini]

cretin, get a life and stop reading months old comments

[Pissant950]

got it

[Worldowner123]

Where can I download it? I must have it =D

[Worldowner123]

I love it! =D

[Worldowner123]

I love it!

[GarredHATES]

gawd I wanna bang penelo's tight ass! XD

[arterialshadow]

lol! That's...strange O_o.

[GarredHATES]

slap it then?

[arterialshadow]

Thats more like it :D lol

[mikesiebold1]

it was a good score, but I still think eight and ten had better music.

[marthedge]

i prefer these orchestras,FFx and FFVIII were memorable too,but they just dont seem to compare to this game for me

[dancer857]

I like it, its jolly =)

[darkshadowsXtreme]

this music's bringing back memories....

[ZeldaFreak1987]

I remember watching my friend play this game, wandering around lost. None of us could figure out where the fuck to go lol.

[arterialshadow]

true dat man. Most confusing city i swear.

[zeroartist1]

That's what makes a great RPG city though I think.

[Worldowner123]

That's what makes a great RPG city though I think

[zeroartist1]

...right. : /

[Everstarknight]

thats what maps are for......

[BlackDeltorDelore]

it makes me so happy!

[Ghostlywolf]

LOVE IT!

Very very very Final Fantasy-ish

[kingdomhikari01]

This music is so friendly. xD

It eased me after coming back from places like the Necrohol of Nabudis or the Pharos (ugh).

[Hanayoru]

the end iz the the best!

[Tiifa90]

cool that reminds me of the game :))) thx for uploading

[LinkDaphanes]

Ahh memories of FFT and FFTA

[ShyRangerSMRPG]

This has gotta be my favorite town theme in FFXII - and, actually, one of my favorite town themes from the Final Fantasy series altogether. The main riff is perfectly suitable for the town at large, and the song *feels* like it should be playing throughout Rabanastre.

[justin0185]

agreed 100% friend me, you said it for me.

[Snakemast345]

@ShyRangerSMRPG "and the song *feels* like it should be playing throughout Rabanastre." Lol, the Gorons felt that way about Lost Woods in legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Poor Gorons.

[xdreamerxxgirlx]

@ShyRangerSMRPG Totally agree!

[cne4ever35]

@ShyRangerSMRPG agreed!! very good comment!!

[jettmanas]

Now that is a soundtrack setpiece.

[nabar123]

ace song, i dont know how they do it, in every single one they get the music spot on

[pops4u95]

I loved this song while exploring
