What's Final Fantasy?

I love the OST for this game, but I don't like the music in game if that makes sense. The music is awesome but it doesn't fit in some places. Gridania's music is so sleepy too. Watching these games, FF has common musical themes, and I think next time Nobuo has to do a song for XIV it will fit more, he'll make sure, since he isn't too happy with how well the music fits either.

Thanalan's music and Coerthas' music are both some of the best I've heard :P

And I think this is one of the best boss/battle themes in any video game. But you never get to hear it all because it plays during EDIT: FACTION NM LEVES and you don't do those often enough.

The OST song you linked was actually the Faction NM music. Regardless, it is truly fantastic

...that HAS to be be the raid dungeon boss battle theme. It just has to. That is a true Uematsu boss battle theme...evokes all the feelings you should get when fighting a challenging boss in an FF title.

I really hope Yoshi-P and the team decided to use that track, because it would be sad to see it continue to be so underutilized.

EDIT: It's the faction NM music? In that case, it should be a lock for standard boss battles. In that case, heres hoping the raid dungeon bosses have quick intro cutscenes.

They play this song in some of the bigger cutscenes too, I don't know if it'll be used for a boss theme or not.

i was gonna say.... so far ive heard almost nothing but complaints and even a thread or two on here asking SE to redo the soundtrack using a different composer.
the only music i ever remotely liked (repetitive music will never exist in my world) was xenogears 2... or 3. the game sucked but the music was not bad.

The OST for this game is one of the best in the series, but what they have in the game is not a good representation. There are 72 tracks that are in the files (at least as far as I know) but the GOOD songs are quiet/blinking out as part of the event (Thanalan's theme), tied to specific, short content (Behest boss music is about 4 minutes long but a boss in a Behest lasts about 30 seconds including travel time), or is in a place that lacks content (Coerthas' theme). There is a lot they could do with the soundtrack if they shuffled it but like other aspects of the game it is badly implemented.
