FF1 clearly had the best soundtrack. Being, serious, and starting from the top, this is my list:
1) FFVI
- The Battle music is addicting, the overall theme, and all the songs captivate me. It makes me want to learn the piano
2) FFVII
- I played Trumpet and the battle theme has a calling for me. 'Nuff said.
3) FFIX
- Simply Beautiful
4) FFX/X-2
- I was a sucker for the voice songs, and the themes, and everything BUT THE BATTLE THEME. Hated that
5) FF: Crystal Chronicles
- Sigh of the wind is an amazing song, aka the intro. That's a beauty
Those are my top 5.

FFVII is maybe my favorite videogame OST ever. All the games have good songs though. Here are my favorites
FF1's opening is so sad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqmDtgz0o1c&feature=related
and Matoya's Cave (FF1) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQp3g5AxzS0feature=related
Man With Machine Gun (FF8): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2vpqd9gKXk
Liberti Fatali (FF8): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eSrBMsIw3s&feature=related
Anxious Heart (FF7) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMvHTlWyxH0&feature=related
Rufus Welcoming Ceremony (FF7) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-fleXlIRbs&feature=related
I could list more but I don't know the names of any of the other songs from the other games, hahaha. I also haven't played an FF since 9 so I'm probably missing out on some good music.

Rufus/Shinra theme has to be one of my favorite themes. If I could have a theme irl it'd be that.

FF7 battle theme.
FF9 boss theme.
FF9 I. Castle theme.
FF13 battle theme.
FF9 Garland's theme or w/e the name is. (it plays in his dungeon in Terra)
Im a sucker for battle themes XD.

I did the same thing. I also named Rinoa's dog in FFVIII "******l".
That didn't happen to me.
Dissidia is more like a Kingdom Hearts game with no Disney characters than an FF game. And I'm pretty sure someone did mention it earlier.

It happened to me. Twice.Gates said:
My personal favorites are VI and VII once again. Terra's theme is so..."whistle-able". In a way, VI had a rather haunting soundtrack. VII on the other hand was just as memorable. For such a simple sounding song, J-E-N-O-V-A is so addicting.felipe_9595 said:
One of the first songs I ever learned to play on my electric guitar was Matoya's Cave. With heavy distortion and some nice bends, it sounds riveting.
I'm all for these Carmina Burana-esque songs but I never quite cared for Liberi Fatali. It would have been fine if there weren't a thousand renditions of it in the VIII soundtrack. It became overkill.

Oh man I should make a video of me playing the JENOVA battle theme on my guitar.
The music in FF games is such high standard.
I can't list my favs because there are WAY too many.

This being said, can anyone think of a bad soundtrack. I personally cannot think of one.

The one I like the least is 12's. Even though it did have a few good ones anyway.

XII might've been my least favorite soundtrack out of the numbered FF games. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't memorable. None of the songs really stood out.

Pishposh. XII. XIII. I've ranted enough about those games to explain why the OSTs were not as worthy as anything Uematsu has composed.

Everyone knows that nothing beats FFVIII.

I did not know 12 and 13 were done by another composer.
What is this heresy!
I also realised I probably spent more time playing blitzball in 10 than the actual game......god I love blitzball, but not as much as I loved triple triad.

Ematsu leaves FInal fantasy after X, that was the music in Ps2 sucks :S
Pd: I loved Tetra Master, that game was SO adicting

I liked FFXI's music a lot. I know it's a mmo, but still. It was all so addicting. FFXIV will probably have a good OST too,but I won't play it.
They make it for PS3, they make it for hybrid computers, but not for the meh computers. They needed to make a lower quality XIV for people like me >_>.
Really? What platform were you playing it on? I've been playing it on PS3, so there is a chance they forgot about that while porting it.

The very original, of course. Am I really the only one who has noticed this? I'm sure I've seen it in a game guide before as well.Gates said:
I hated all those mini-games. They were all pointless busy work. But if I had to single out my favorites among all of them, I'd choose Triple Triad -- the only one wherein the game does not mandate you have to play even a single game of it.Nick Schovitz said:

I'm pretty sure it's happened to me as well and it wouldn't let me use the name Garnet. It has been awhile since I last played it though. I'm not sure if you can bypass it by putting it in all caps. You probably can.

Out of all the Final Fantasy games I've played (1-4, 7, 8, 13.) I really enjoyed FF2 the most (the one with Firion as the main character.)
I find it had a really unique leveling system which I enjoyed, and the music was very well done, in my opinion. But all Final Fantasy music is amazing

Outside the Final Fantasy fanaticism, it's understandable to like FFXII. Likewise, it's also understandable for a FF freak to hate the unconventional XII.
For me, it's a matter of entertainment. I was not entertained. Therefore, I hated it.
Ryu Shimazu
Smash Master
It's one of my favorites, and I'm a hardcore Fan.
I'm a huge fan as well, but I've always leaned more towards Matsuno/Tactics in terms of the style that I prefer, so it's only natural. I just thought XII made enormous strides forward in terms of gameplay, and then XIII just...ignored it all. I also thought the political storyline and excellent dialogue made the game more interesting than the other "melodramatic" titles, or at least until Raithwall, where it then becomes noticeably mediocre (probably because Matsuno left production).
The game also had the most fleshed out world of any FF game, by far. By far. Each locale has so much history and makes so much sense and you get little tidbits of interesting information by reading or talking to NPCs (something FFXIII did very poorly)
But I will confidently say that the first 15 hours of XII is the best experience any FF game has offered...ever

The content was amazing as well. I logged 280 hours to get a full 100% game. (Full Grand armor x2, full mage armor for 1 character, and everyone lv99 etc) It's sad my file corrupted, but I had everything. I loved the political storyline as well, it really had me interested. I never got to see Vayne die =/
WiyamMang
Smash Journeyman
Thank god this is just an opinion. Thinking of playing that game still fills me with dread.
Ryu Shimazu
Smash Master
Why? It's better than XIII. All XIII was good battle system filled with way to much AI (yet again, they need to stop that). Everything else sucked. A good story, but so linear and movish whats the point in it being a game, lol.
I will admit, the older ones are better.
Final Fantasy VI is rather unqiue in Final Fantasy, as its romance is subtle.
TLMSheikant
Smash Master
You're a very open 13 hater, arent you? lol I hated 12 but I dont bash it every post. :/
WiyamMang
Smash Journeyman
You misunderstood me. I was thoroughly disappointed with XIII. It's amazing how the common complaints of the game are absolutely undeniable: it's too linear, the characters are boring, the story is stupid, etc.Shimazu said:
On the other hand, I went into XII with little expectation. I just tried to manage it and I despised every second of the game. The gameplay is by far the worst aspect. If XIII had anything that it excelled it, it was the gameplay. Sure, everything else botched the game but all in all, the combat was enough to get me hooked. XII's gameplay was "unique". But it was also atrociously boring.
So, I go back to what I said: "Thank god it's just an opinion".
VI? Not to my knowledge. What romance?XDeath said:

12's opening wasnt as bad as the rest of the game...if only it didnt have Vaan. Such a whiney char. It totally ruined the opening for me at times. I got rid of him as soon as I could. The lack of characterization, political story...in FF and the weird voice acting made it so bad for me :S. The unexciting last boss was also pretty...unexciting.
Minato

Wait a minute... weird voice acting? XII's voice acting was pretty good.
TLMSheikant

It's like they had stuffy noses while talking. Especially the judges. And dont get me started on Vaan. The only VA I liked was Fran and I kinda liked Ashe's too.
Minato
穏やかじゃない
Yeah, you're actually right about that. The acting was good, but the sound quality on the recording was off. Everything was a little stuffy for some odd reason.
The highlights for me in XII were the License Board, the acting, and the maps/exploration. It was a good game on its own, IMO, but it didn't excel compared to other FF games.
XIII only had the battle system going for it. For me, XII and XIII kind of feel close to the same level. I enjoyed them, but not nearly as much as I was hoping to.
Ryu Shimazu
Smash Master
Yes I am. From XII's release I tracked that game in anticipation of the best thing ever. In fact, I love the story. It has a very compelling story, and it's probably one of the two things I love. I've never been so let down before, so I guess it makes me cold.
Sorry, I get what you're saying. Thinking about it, I had similar feelings back in the day.
I didn't get to kill the boss, but I share the hatred of Vaan. He didn't even need to be in the game.
Voice acting yes, but the quality and etc was a bit low.
Pretty much what I meant. Also, I liked Baltheir's (sp) as well. He had quite a sarcastic tone about him I just adored.
WiyamMang
Smash Journeyman
It wasn't all across the board. Fran, for instance, was hideously mismatched for that voice.Minato said:
I also didn't like Balthier but that's just me. I didn't mind the voice acting but the character himself was always a problem for me. I tried my best to like the character but he just resonates with the vibe of "douchery".
