Someone had the audacity to tell me that Revolutions is worse than Dragonsong or Answers.
This has made me WROTH to a degree you couldn't possibly imagine. Revolutions is in every way a superior piece over Dragonsong. To deny that is to deny Uematsu's genius. It is self-evident that Uematsu poured his soul and his life into this masterpiece. Saying Revolutions is worse than Dragonsong is like saying 20ms ping is worse than 250ms ping, or saying that FC chat is worse than Feast chat.
The pure brilliance emanating from Revolutions is frankly too much to behold for the common folk. It is a musically sophisticated piece, a carefully constructed march that dazzles with its adventurous timbre, juxtaposition between the lyrics and the mood, and presents an ambitious countermelody that shifts from instrument to instrument with grace and virtuosity.
To deny that is to deny existence itself. So far the only people I've seen saying Dragonsong is better are healers who don't use Cleric stance and mentors. No surprise there.

It really comes down to preference...I think Dragonsong and Answers are better songs than Revolutions....but I do enjoy revolutions. It's just a personal preference really.

I think Revolutions is fantastic. It was made by the man himself Nobuo Uematsu, the guy is a legend at this point, how could it not be good? However, I think people are getting a little overexcited about it because of all the footage of things we haven't seen yet.
All of the new stuff which we have been waiting for combined with a solid song certainly amps up the overall experience. But try to remember to separate the song from previews we saw. For the record I like all three songs equally. -

I like revolutions the most out of all three, its got a more amped up kinda attitude whereas the others are really solemn and quite depressing. Revolutions is kind of uplifiting!

I didn't like it on the first play but it really grew on me.

They're all good songs in their own right, though my favourite of the bunch is Dragonsong.

Answers is still the king of themes! The emotions, the metal, it's all there!

I will say that I do like that it's more upbeat but Answers is still my PERSONAL favorite. To each their own.

Dragonsong, only thing that rivals it is Answers, but Revolutions takes a good 3rd place. Perhaps because there is no real emotion with the song yet storywise. The final fight with Nidhogg there was so much emotion and the song was more than a song.
-
05-20-2017, 09:44 PMAma_HamadaCan say the same thing for answers. No song can rival that was played while the game was literally destroyed. 1.0 ended with it, mor dhona's epic music and errie feelings ended with it.. I do not see how anything can ever top it.Quote:

Other than that, I think Revolutions is great too and perhaps my favorite out of the three themes thus far (since I listen to it too many times already). However, I've come across many people who claim that Revolutions will never top mostly Answers (while poor Dragonsong is sort of left in the dust).
Like some have already said, people have their own preferences and you should respect them even if you don't agree. -

This thread seems to be a thread about a fanatic praising his lord and savior Nobuo Uematsu.

05-20-2017, 10:47 PMAma_Hamadaneed more threads like that tbhQuote:

I remember a lot of this forum didn't like Dragonsong for various reasons; the theme being borrowed from Chrono Trigger, it not being epic enough, or too much attachment to Answers. Now Dragonsong is held in much better regard because of how intertwined it was with the MSQ.Quote:
