  • Brings many memories...

    Think im gonna play it again....

    Right After I will finish FFXIII-2 :)

  • So serene. This song actually made me think over on if I should play the game again. My first time playing and beating it was just in the Fall...

  • One of the saddest, most beautiful compositions in Final Fantasy music. It brings a tear to my eye.

  • What are you guys talking about? FF XII has hands-down the best, most mature plotline in a Final Fantasy game to date (it's only competitors being FF VI and FFVII). Yes, I agree the characters lacked character development, and were a little dull in nature, but when you get a chance to explore the land of FFXII, you'll surely get engrossed in the lore and characters.

    I love the gang: Balthier, Fran, Vaan, Penelo, Basch, Ashe.

    Lengthiest, biggest, most BADASS Final Fantasy to DATE. No contest.

  • @mariodude25 i agree with you completely they put alot of work into the game u can definitely tell

  • @mariodude25 When you say "mature" I kind of can guess you hate Tidus. But am guessing since many people hate ff10 only because of Tidus' attitude to ruin the vibe at times. FF12 is epic, I still have its collector's edition case and cds. Still, the nostalgia of ff7 overweight ff12 when it comes to majority. But, me personally, I have most vibes off of ff10. Tidus' attitude made it actually realistic. :/

  • @enlighteneveryone Haha, buddy, where are you getting the idea that I hate Tidus/FFX? FFX was my second favorite Final Fantasy. Great game as well, just in a different way.

  • @mariodude25 Can i buy some of the drugs you are smoking............. best to date? you need to go outside sometimes and get some sun, mabye play some sports get a girlfriend. Best to date i dont even think the developers thought that..............lol

  • @watcherofthings I'm sorry, was I talking to you hotshit? I'm pretty sure I was just stating a fact here. FFXII > any of your crap FF games

  • @mariodude25 ill just take the hotshit comment as a sign of your withdrawl sysmptoms from the crack you smoke. Nice to know this is the attitude of the ff fans these days. Your just proving my point with every word, thank you........................

  • @mariodude25 ever since 9 the series isnt the same its getting worse and worse each game 12 had a good soundtrack but was pretty mediocre

  • @l3054

    Taste and opinions my friend, taste and opinions. Imo 12 is the best FF in the series, but that doesn't make it generally true, does it?

  • @ChakaZoltan i shouldve put it differently theyve felt less and less like final fantasy i know one of the main directors though i forget his name left after making 9 alot of people still like the series but to me its been dead since 2000 but yea that is personal taste although alot of people will agree with me it might as well be a completely different series with a completely different name for where theyve gone with it

  • @l3054

    Sorry, but that sounds very deadlocked. Series crossed over on much more powerful consoles and thus it's only expected to see much bigger difference in graphical style. They chose the good way, with high end graphics the game could have ended looking like a prime kitsch (like FF9, it looked awesome with graphics at the time, with modern graphics that style would be unbearable to look at).

  • @ChakaZoltan i didnt mention graphics once although with todays graphics they get away with things they never wouldve before and the story suffers greatly

  • @l3054

    I'm talking about 'graphical style', not graphics themselves. Would you care to explain what's not "FF" enough anymore?

  • @ChakaZoltan the storys and characters have become generic and the series has become unoriginal twelve was actually an alright game but it still felt really different from the series

  • @l3054

    Well I find FF12 story to be more mature, characters are more mature and it is well done imo, 13 has some really good story and characters which people don't seem to understand, but the game is generic in path and short which takes away a lot from the experience.

    Some systems (like battle) have been overhauled a LOT which I can understand the hate over, but I like 12's battle the most (and I play FFs from the 1st).

    I definitely respect your opinion too, however, this is just mine.

  • @ChakaZoltan what i didnt like was the first thing i heardabout ff13 is about lightning basically being a female copy of cloud i understandthe story and the game engine but i havent played it andhonestlyfromwhat iveseen i know i wouldntwant to and yea while the battle system in 12 was different it didnt really change things all that much so i didnt mind it and the whole license thing was ok too i like when theyre not afraid to do something new i think thats why i liked 8 so much when it came out

  • @l3054

    Well those were probably FF7 fanboys tbh, I saw no resemblence with Cloud whatsoever, not every character with short hair and cool temper is a copy of Cloud. :P Game's biggest problem is that it's linear as hell, you basically have one straight path until chapter 13 (which is near end game) and you can't visit old areas.

    As an FF title, game is a wee bit disappointing, I admit that, but game as a game is much more than solid and imho still owns a high amount of quality content.

  • @ChakaZoltan i beleive it was one of the developers that said that but it was a long time ago but i know the games problems and someone told me most of the story so i have an understanding of it yea you gotta play it to really experience it but with all the best ffs story was the biggest thing at least to me

  • @mariodude25 i meant to say after 9

  • really high quality ^^

    FF XII is one of my favourits of the serie

  • So peaceful. i luv it even though i'm not into final fantasy

  • best music from all ff series

  • @mypurpletie yup! Love the battle system. ooh that's awesome. I know you will have a lot of fun replaying ffxii ^^

  • Jesus. How much more provocative can females in Final Fantasy get? It becomes just a little awkward after a certain point. xD

  • @Elena9525 LMAO I loved this comment. It's so very, very true. We've played all of them I bet.

  • @mypurpletie I played ffx right after ffxii. Ffxii was my first big scale final fantasy game ever. And I loved every minute of it. However when it came to ffx.. everything just paled in comparison. The graphics and the battle system were just meh and bad compared to ffxii. So bored of turn based battles (thx a lot Pokemon) Yes I am so superficial. But perhaps it was a bad idea to play a game from 2001 in the year 2011. I hear that a remake of ffx is in the works so I may give that a try instead.

  • @lovedestinyz Oh I see lol, thats understandable. I enjoyed everything about both games, what mainly caught my interest in FFXll was the battle system, some didn't like it but it was amazing to me. All of the stages were great, I actually just started a new file of FFXll yesterday after not playing it for about 3 years. Good times :D

  • @lovedestinyz

    Unfortunately not a remake, only a remaster- we'll get practically the same thing but in higher res version. Though I'm sure we'll also get more content too, cause we're talking about Japs here, they don't re-release anything without extra concent. Heck they don't even release the normal game the same to every continent, europeans get this stuff, americans get that and they themselves get all of that + two times more :P

  • @mypurpletie well it was probably a bad idea to start out with ff12 first. Reading reviews it seemed like that ffx was the superior game over ffxii. And so i decided to play the "crappy" game first fxii. It was my first big scale final fantasy game. And everything about the game was PERFECT. (OK maybe the storyline needed more work) but the graphics were stunning, the battle system was a breath of fresh air. I started ffx after beating fxii. Big mistake.

  • SO BEAUTIFUll

  • FF12 HD please

  • p PLEASE! SQUARE! I just want to go to Eruyt Village Just for a Day!

    I promise I won't rape a single Bunny while Im there,

    

  • Brings back so many memories <3

  • good music

  • to lovedestinyz i get you every time i listen to this i want 2 be there love this melody :

  • @daz1499 opposite for me, FFXII was my first FF game and was so amazing, played FFX afterwards and thought it was so boring. Stopped playing it after 4 hours into the game. Wish i had played FFX first

  • @lovedestinyz I actually love both FFX and FFXll, but I like FFX more. What was it about FFX you didn't like?

  • This game would have been a masterpiece for me if I hadn't played FFX first

  • Beautiful, calming song with a hint of melancholy... Eruyt village is so gorgeous... I want to live in there! XD

  • It's norm for comments like "this game is awesome and whoever doesn't think so is retarded" to be retarded, but this is one of those cases where it's totally valid.

  • A peaceful and calming bit of music, helps the mind to feel more at ease for me.

  • people who dislike the song doesn't know the meaning of peace and harmony..

  • @eitee1204 or grammar!

  • I LOVE THIS GAME!

  • this nearly put me to sleep i think it i infused witha sleep spell

  • Although I would have rather had a Bangaa in the party... I really like Fran @___@

  • I have serious goosebumps :)

  • The only thing I don't like about Final Fantasy music is that after about 20 minutes of listening to it you look at your watch and realize you've been playing for 3 hours. Always makes me feel like i should just download the OST and listen to it while doing something else...

  • wow, all instruments blend as one o_O

  • why? why is the music in this game so good!?

  • This was the perfect game

    Need More

  • This will be played after the world is at destruction

  • @emiko21 Totally the most helpful thing ever :3 Thank you very much for the tips ^_^ I'll keep in my mind not to let anything go to 0 ^_^

    I think I've already gotten used to it, thanks to my friend, who owns the game that I play. Although I don't get to play it as often as I want to, I just concentrate on the game itself while she gives couple tips.

    But so far I have cursed only, Flowering Cactoid (for nailing Vaan) and Demon Wall. Learning the quickenings = toughest thing in my gaming history.

  • Gambits... You need a licence to wear clothes.

  • Speed of Doom is fucking amazing :D

  • I JUST LOVE FFXII B/C OF FRAN!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 :)

  • hmm i think the way the characters talk makes it harder for ppl to understand, i mean who the heck sais ''my leave, i take'' yet ?! just say ''ill go away'' or something xD

  • @drkcrstl different dialects simulate the experience of a vast world, which is FF12

  • Although I haven't played the game this far yet (but I intend to!), I love this music. It is peaceful and sometimes makes chill of relaxation go up my spine.

    As for the gameplay, I think it is only good. As far as I have played it, I've been able to go peacefully elsewhere and know that nothing bad is going to happen. Gotta love gambits for that. I've actually gone enough far with those that I've managed to draw while playing, letting my left hand's thumb handle the moving as I sketch some art.

  • J'ADOREEEEEEEEEEE

  • How can you guys say the game play and characters suck I really doubt that half you that spoke bad about the game ever completed it im so tired of rpg and mmo false players who never beat a single game or maxed out even one character speak bad about great titles like ff12.

  • In my opinion...This single piece is the best song in the history of the series yet. With Eidolons on Parade a VERY close second.

  • Playboy bunnies are in this game.

  • A pleasant lie, that.

  • @woodwart Freaking wonderful dialogues. Don't get why people complain about the story and the characters when they are so wonderfully taken care of.

  • This music is so calm and peaceful. I love Final Fantasy XII OST

  • Wow! At least what FFXII lacked in gameplay, it made up for in music, somewhat.

  • @zevex747 I thought it had the best gameplay in the series actually. Didn't feel interrupted all the time like the others.

  • @Deffpoised - Well, I was totally bored by the battle system. It felt like an MMO battle system, where you practically do nothing at all. And the dungeons were HUGE and even more repetitive than previous games' imo.

  • DAT ASS.

  • best song in FFXII

    i love the Vieras^^

  • Damn why did I sell this game?

    Anyways FF-12 has great music:)

  • Bunneh ppl are mean.. D=

  • Mr. Sakimoto has produced yet another melody that will haunt me for the rest of my days. So beautiful...

    Along with the FFT OST, FFXII's many themes live inside me now, and will never leave.

  • @Cancer8006 mine oo this tune is fucking sick!!

  • I really love this theme. I spent hours and hours in Erupt village because of this song - and kept coming back!! ='(

  • FF 12 was a fun game but (to me) the high was the music, allot of it is calm or a little sad at times, this feels a bit of both. Personally i would spend hours on end listening to this song, and it didn't help that the boss was a challenge at first, still none the less this is by far the best town song I've herd.

  • I love the part exactly when 1 minute passes.

  • my 2nd best thank god so peaceful and relax pure intelligence

    

  • Although this game lacked story, and back-stories for the characters. It has to have the most unique and fun gameplay, you have ABSOLUTE freedom. You don't have to do anything the game tells you to. I <3 this game.

  • @mavadoman Agreed. The story was lacking but I loved the exploration and battle system.

  • @gunpei true i missed this game's exploration..i feel like playing it now but i never bought the game only borrowed it..

  • @mavadoman It makes the game feel like another place you could quickly go to whenever you plan to relax. The music also gives this pleasant feel.

  • @mavadoman I wouldn't say that ffxii lacked history, it's more that the history is more focused on wars, reigns and empires than on the characters themselves.

  • Fran is my alltime favorite character of FFXII :)

  • Hitoshi Sakimoto composes great music for great games.

  • I want that wallpaper !!!

  • best sawng in the game.

  • It is a shame SE fucked up so badly on 13 and 14.. Other FF's among with 12 for certain were total masterpieces.

  • Its been 4 years and I still haven't completed this game--what in the hell is wrong with me?

  • the only problem i had with final fantasy 12 and its music is that the music wasnt loud enough during game play for me like it was to far in the background which sucked cause it was good music

  • @kitsunade Same here! Like you'd be in the middle of some badass cutscene (or a lovely one) and the music would be so faint in the background! >:(

  • @kitsunade it was perfect the way it was. You could hear all the sounds from the battles, and it still creates a particular ambient and mood.

  • This song puts me in a sad trance. What an inspiring yet dishearting story Fran has and the music projects it perfectly.

  • I feel so peaceful every time I hear this music.

  • FFXII has some of the most beautiful music ever created. some of the music can actually make me sleep better at night lol

  • Gotta say the piano version does the composition more justice.

  • This should be called "Fran's Theme"

  • this is my favourite theme from FFXII :)

  • i really failed at this game.... got up to the part where you have to beat the group of tomatoes right before arcadia and i was WAY too underlevelled!

  • love tis........ i dont think i can beat the game even if im on level 50 something. but it doesnt matter, u need ta think just ta beat tis game. but i hav ta say the game is a 5 out of 5.

  • @lang2135 u can if u have the right skills and gear i beat the game around lv 55

  • yupp, i suck. and damn ur good, my brother didnt even beat the game yet and hes like at lv 73. but now all he do is play modern warfare 2 and people make fun of him for havin the name "monkeyman3"

  • Fran may be a bunny, but she's a hot and dangerous bunny!

  • @zulu012 she's the real playboy bunny!

  • epicness too high....overload..error

    x)

  • This song reminds me of a full moon in the night........for some reason.

  • the quiet beauty of the tone of the music gave me the same feeling as well..

  • makes me wanna play the game all over again.

  • This song makes me wanna cry.  It's so beautiful.

  • This is a sad song, but I think is beautiful, I love these area, the trees, the mistery of that race...

    I love this song too

  • Great area design!

  • It's not a sad theme in the slightest. More like a composed chronicle of an epic adventurous hero. nostalgic, yes; mystical, yes; sad, no.

  • I think it's sad

    True, it seems like an adventurous epic song, but there's a slight notion of time in this song in my opinion, like if time passed too quickly and the world was getting older. Even you said it :"nostalgic, yes"

  • Maybe it's the tale of the earth. The only way I see this as a sad song is if the spirit of the earth told its life during its death. The stories would include the passion and experiences but it would be sad because a death is involved. Of course, this song could be the bgm and then I would consider it sad. It seems like a very heartwarming song. It cools calms me down during the heat of stress and the cruelties of fate. This song is very impeccable.

  • goosh i love her theme... :(

  • It's not Fran's theme. It's the theme of the village she is from.

  • oh i see but still her theme too** :p

  • can somebody give me this song :(

    I hope somebody can help me.

    Thanks :)

  • Take the URL to mediaconverter and convert it to MP3.

  • Best song in FF12

    imo

  • this is one rare gem in the XII ost, nobuo didnt compose the OST, nuff said

  • ...well, Fran's sister seems to be the leader of them so she's pretty old.

    And the cocktrice from the village says something like Mjrn, Fran and their older sister have really long ears because they're really old. D:

  • wonderful..

  • I used to always love it in the village, partly caus of the gorgeous music =]

  • nice music.

  • FF12 didnt have that many songs... many ppl missed the the battle music like the other ff when u get in a battle.i think this game was lacking that cuz playing the game with the same bgm except bosses got annouying. Seriously i would just summon my esper to change music while fighting or press mute on my remote controll. But then again this game had some good music just not many.

  • like this song it was good.

  • this was by far the best BGM in the whole game. The rest were too much like elevator music and lacked strong melody or a good fit to their locale. The one that really puzzled me was the thing at Raithwall's Tomb and Old Archades, just seemed to be used whenever they were too lazy to compose a new theme.

  • I hate this game

    Cant stop playing it though

  • I love the game but hate the fighting system they made wish it woulda been more like deirge of cerebus

  • this song is so beautiful...with this music Eruyt seems so peaceful....i think i visit Eruyt Village so many times because of this music xD

    it makes me feel so relaxed

  • i always go shop here :D

  • im gonna cry again oohhhhh so beautiful :)

  • Peace has no name, yet i wish to call it Eruyt.

  • Comment removed

  • @Thahksis I thought it was "peace"

    (I agree, anyway, nice peaceful song)

  • I think this song fit its context perfectly in FF XII.

    It gave me the melancholy feeling that I could only get from the Veira race.

    I mean seriously, it was either live out your life never knowing what the world has to offer you in fear of being shunned by your own kind, or throw your societies laws to the wind, accept their silence, and figure out who you were outside of walls that protected you for years.

    Thanks for choosing the second option Fran! <3

  • I'd love to hear this in a concert hall.

  • yeah but how.. do i download it :/ it just kinda pops up in another internet tab :(

  • This has gotta be one of my favorite songs from this game. Haunting and beautiful!

  • anyone know where to get this soundtrack online?

  • Blue laguna webiste. Has the whole OST.

  • Does anyone else think this song is REALLY sad and depressing, then it's kinda happy for a few seconds, then it goes back to being depressing? It's like a conflict between the blessing and curse of having an extended life. Also, Fran's voice is hot. :)

  • To me, it's pleasant entirely throughout. It's interesting seeing what other people think about it. This is definitely one of the few songs I truly enjoyed in FFXII.

  • I like Fran's bow and arrow it looks like she's playing a musical instrument.

  • When I first heard Uematsu wasn't going to be doing the music for FFXII, I was worried frankly. But this and several of the other pieces from the game showed me that the change wasn't a bad thing at all. Though Uematsu still rocks.

  • Fran's an awesome character, such depth and beuaty, and I'm not talking about the beuaty of the female body though she CERTAINLY has that, I'm talking about the beuaty of a character well written, well animated and well performed

  • best character in the game in my opinion. followed closely by balthier and fran as far as storylines go im still halfway through the game so hopefully ill be pleasantl surprised

  • my favorite part is 1:00 to 1:37 X3

  • mine too

  • i like it too

  • Everytime I listen to this music,I feel like im in Wood.Its so beautiful <3

  • I love Fran she is fricken awsome :D

  • i wish i knew where to get this music :<

  • Blue Laguna . net

  • Get the soundtrack. Pricey but worth it. Then rip the CD. Now I have this wonderful tune on MP3.

  • beautiful theme

  • This song is soothing feel like i'm floating on a cloud.

  • This melody is serene and sad Fran can no longer hear whispers of the wood. :`(

  • I know it's so sad oh Fran! :'(

  • yeah... tho I wish I knew how old she was T_T

    just so that I know a background of Fran.

    btw, she ROCKS!!!

  • Fran is AL LEAST 50 ;)

  • yah I know that :P

    But I'm pretty sure she's a lot older than that (which is what I want to know exactly) haha
