9 for sure. 10 is good too, but it is a lot less impactful. Though the Remaster makes it slightly more frantic, but I still feel 9 beats it with that theme. No FF game has beaten 9 in that aspect for sure.

Hmm, that's a tough one. I think FF9's battle theme has a stronger beginning, while FFX has a more memorable "main chorus": https://youtu.be/C34BzC7rnos?t=46
I'll probably go with FFX as my fav of the two, but it's pretty close. Only problem with FFX's theme for me is the first few seconds that you get tired of hearing so much. lol

Good choice. Best rpg I've ever played.

Well I also feel like 10 does overall "feel" better and definitely has a more memorable main chorus, but heres my problem: I believe in FF the beginning of the battle theme is the most important part to nail because once you get to a high enough level you're never going to hear the mid/end half of the battle theme. At least for me, during battles I don't usually hear the whole theme more than maybe a handful of times the entire game, and 10 has a pretty slow start compared to 9's more energized beginning.

That might explain why I started hating FFX's battle theme a while after playing the game. Because whenever I think back on it, I think of the beginning part and how often I heard it. But when I listen to its entierty, I remember how good it really was, and the feelings and memories I associate with it and FFX.
Though at the end of the game there were those tough enemies in the monster taming facility, so at least there you'd hear the full theme. lol

That's a good point XD But they're both really great in their own right. Thankfully 10 is very close to my fave FF battle theme.
