| c0rd said: I can see the preference of FF9 over FF6, I guess they're somewhat close. Cross over Trigger, though? Nevar! Some of my favs, I won't embed since there's already too much on the thread: Schala's Theme Most of the game's tracks is music that's okay on its own, but amazing in context, like Manoria Convent, Underground Sewer or... the sound played in our favorite ending (scarrryyy). It's amazing how great this soundtrack is, it probably has the most memorable unique tracks ever in a game. I've got people that don't really play videogames hooked on many of the songs (Frog's theme in particular, nobody can resist that one). I think his later tracks are good, but they rarely have the unique hook that's loaded in Chrono Trigger's soundtrack. I'm not sure if he changed his style, or if the limits of the SNES made it sound preferable, but... I definitely prefer the older stuff. This goes for most game music nowadays, it seems like everyone wants full on orchestral stuff (just because we can now), when I'd often prefer the synthesized stuff.
Oh, I haven't commented on topic yet. I've only heard the TWEWY soundtrack from Ishimoto, which I enjoyed, although... the tracks Soriku put up are not exactly my favorite, so I dunno. |
Chorno Trigger and Cross are both amazing. And while I do agree that Trigger probably has the larger ratio of good to amazing songs, it doesn't discount that Cross is still one of the best OSTs to ever come out for a Square game.
