[Top 100 RPG Battle Themes] #4 - Final Fantasy

The Top 10!

Game - Final Fantasy IX
Song - Dark Messenger
Composer - Nobuo Uematsu

Notes: I've always loved this track. The intro is amazing enough in itself. (Yes I realize there's a lot of Final Fantasy represented in this list, but you really have to give credit to the games for having great music). A wonderful and somewhat darker piece.

Welcome to the Top 100 RPG Battle Themes playlist. This is a representation of the 100 best songs spanning my gaming history of RPG's. Some of these games, I haven't played, others I have spent countless hours on, but the music has stuck with me for whatever reason. I have tried my best to not have too many from one game or series.

This list was updated in April 2011.

I knew it. I smelled it quite early but it's unmistakeable to notice a person who loves Final Fantasy 9.

And this proves it.

Nothing wrong with the game, it's quite the great underrated gem.

Just surprising to find it take such a high spot. Then again, this is indeed all opinion, and it's nevertheless still Final Fantasy goodness... just a curiously different style of final fantasy goodness.

[tomenaki]

You are incorrect. I don't love FF 9, in fact i think it is one of the worst in the series.

However, the battle tracks to this MADE the game. I have always, always, always loved the battle songs in the game far more than the game, or even the ost as a whole.

So this isn't here because of the game.

@tomenaki which one is your favorite? i'm just asking.

[tomenaki]

@lastblade3

My favorite FF game? That would be a tie between FF VIII and FF XIII. As for battle tracks, well obviously this is the highest one for FF 9. XD

[FallenWhiteSaber]

@tomenaki I can see 8, but be it the developmental shambles it was in, making it a "proverbial Superman 64" I HATE FF13 with a passion in every respect bar the enemy generics AI [A boss design has to be good to even consider the AI behind it], what draws you to it?

[tomenaki]

@FallenWhiteSaber

I'm not really sure, actually, i just love the game and all it has. The battle system is a huge draw for me, since i adore it, most of the characters i like (Lightning being the top one), and I just find myself wanting to play it no matter what. Plus... the music is amazing. ^_^

[wolfguard7]

we will, weee will rock you!! ...oops, lol

[airbender1800]

Oh yeah, he was awesome. His laugh still haunts me to this day XD

[GohanSuperSaiyan43]

I've saw that music on sonic rpg 7 when shadow and nights fight against reala that music is pretty good but not enough to be number 4

[juhjujubacia]

I LOVE FFIX <3 And I don't have shame to say it *u*

[TranceAnton]

By far the best FF in the whole series.

[Zyrallus]

Awesome. Easily my favorite Final Fantasy game. And the music... so good.

[adikkuchan]

@LiBRa473 Steiner and his chinking armor XD *CHINKCHINKCHINK*

[LiBRa473]

@tomenaki WTH -.-

The story was HILARIOUS i bet they should make a remake in the future instead of ff7 "FU**ed up cloud "

i mean ff9 was one of the funniest series i think in my opinion.

[MorroWolf]

love kuja's theme/all the variations of it fucking music for nine was really good

[KaiserdeEmperana]

FF9 is awesome.

[DeanOMiite]

Loved this game. There is an awesome version of this theme on an album by Daniel Tidwell...I forget what the album is called but it's worth checking out, there are actually a couple FF songs on it.

[Dinosaur760]

I've actually only played FFVI Advanced ^^and I like every part of it (from music, to story, characters, even graphic!!!),,, this music isn't bad either, but for me, FFVI Advanced's music is better for me (since I've played that only, and can't and even won't judge other musics and stories), and everyone does have his own oppinion bout FF games ^^ so don't attack me with questions like I don't know what I'm talking about and so on, tyvm ^^
