I never said that XII's soundtrack was on par with Uematsu's best (which for me are VI, VII and VIII). It isn't, but not because Sakimoto's much worse than Uematsu, but because it wasn't Sakimoto's best. I consider FFT's soundtrack better than any soundtrack ever composed by Uematsu (in fact, better than any soundtrack EVER except for Suikoden II, which are tied), so I know Sakimoto can be as great as Nobuo (he may need Iwata at his side, though).

 

Not a fan of IX's music? j/k

Now that we started talking about soundtracks you got me all worked up! VG music just makes me horny!

I have never played any Suikoden, but since you seem to think that the soundtrack is superior to Uematsu stuff, I might just pick up a few of those... any suggestions?

 

Actually, now that you say it, I think that the Battle theme and Boss battle theme in IX are (with V's Battle theme) the best Uematsu has composed. I can't say I remember much of the rest of the soundtrack though.

About the Suikoden soundtrack, do you mean individual themes? Check the link in my sig (the Suikoden round), and download the Mp3 there is, those are 10 songs (cut to 30 seconds each, though) I picked from the series. I'll think some more for you

 

About IX's soundtrack: The Place I'll Return To Someday

That was pretty good stuff.

And for overall themes Uematsu has composed I have to say, I prefer Cosmo Canyon from VII. But for battlethemes I like IX's as well.

Of course I prefer Cosmo Canyon theme, that's Nobuo's best ever. I was referring only to battle themes. I'll check your video

Cosmo Canyon rules. I think is one of the few themes on vgs that actualy captures the essence of a place.

But now going to my favorite soundtrack ever: Chrono Trigger... now that is how you make an OST.

There is not a single track of CT that is not good. How do you feel about Mitsuda's work?

To be honest, I don't remember many songs of CT, not because I didn't like them, but 'cause I played it only once and fairly quickly. Though the Main Theme is simply breathtaking. I remember more Cross' soundtrack (still not as well as, say, Suikoden, where I remember every single song), and it was amazing too, Time's Scar is just fantastic (I have it as ringtone). Mitsuda is a fantastic composer too. But as I don't have the entire soundtrack but just some few MP3s, I can't remember it very well. I need to download it entirely

Sorry but the soundtrack of FFXII was horrible X_X. You can let me hear songs from FFVI till FFX and I can name them and say from witch scene they are from and sometimes even which disc but I can't do that with FFXII. Their is really no song in FFXII that sounded great for me.

He is referring to Ogre Battle and Tactics Ogre, Johann.

Oh, ok. Haven't played any Ogre game. Are they good?

 

They are delectable. The envy of every Final Fantasy. My avatar comes from one such game, Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber, easily the best RPG on the N64 (arguably the best from that generation).

There were RPG's on the N64? xP

I had no idea there were any worthwhile (besides Paper Mario), though that game wasn't exactly popular, I imagine. I was more into my PC those days. Seems I'll have to check the Ogre stuff out...

edit: Have to comment on CT's soundtrack - the character themes are alone are amazing. I'd hang out at the End of Time where you could select your characters just to listen to em...

You have another game to check out first, remember? And after that more games from the same series will follow. Then you can check Ogre Battle

That is just a sin. Chrono Trigger and Cross (Cross music was mostly based on CT music) both have a GREAT soundtrack. Mitsuda's work also includes Xenogears, which is great too.

Funny thing... this thread started as a Kitase and Nomura might leave thread, turned into a Sony might take them if they do thread, which turned into a Amano's art vs Nomura's art thread, which turned into a vg soundtracks thread.

Now THAT is how you get offtopic!

Hybrid Heaven was a decent N64 RPG too...

The story was like an action movie Scfi-story... but the battle system was... and still is pretty unique.

Starts off slow until you start getting combo moves but after that it's all sorts of fun.  If it ever got a very unlikely VC release i'd be pumped, since i hate the 64 controller and rarely have it hooked up.

Ha, of course. To be honest, FFXII wasn't exactly my favorite, so I'd go into the Ogre series a bit skeptical. I'll still give it a chance, but there really are a ton of other old games I've missed out on, so...

I wonder if I'll ever have time to play them all. Thankfully there aren't many new console games on the horizon I have much interest in (some games I'd like on the 360, but I don't have one).
