Also I will try and keep them in order according to games.

FF game: Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII
note: Best ending songs, in my opinion(excluding FFXII's ending.. of course). This song might throw me back at J-rock someday.. maybe.

title: White Room
artist: Hitoshi Sakimoto
album: Final Fantasy XII - Original Soundtrack
FF game: Final Fantasy XII
note: Very emotional. With the visual event the game placed on you with this song, it was very sad.

NOTE: This is where FFXIII will start. I will stress this series and display a lot fo songs. Not only because each song is awesome but because many people skip this series and the great music included.

title: The Yaschas Massif
artist: Masashi Hamauzu
album: Final Fantasy XIII - Original Soundtrack
FF game: Final Fantasy XIII

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kkz6JwE3xE

title: The Sunleth Waterscape
artist: Masashi Hamauzu
album: Final Fantasy XIII - Original Soundtrack
FF game: Final Fantasy XIII
note: Some songs in this game+XIII-2 have, in my opinion, the perfect blend of classical, techno and vocal aspects. This being one of the best..


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucX7dKzLE2g

title: The Archylte Steppe
artist: Masashi Hamauzu
album: Final Fantasy XIII - Original Soundtrack
FF game: Final Fantasy XIII
note: By far my favorite classical piece in this series. Might be the fact that the region in the game fit it so perfectly(sometimes it's all about presentation).


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7TB_6mEnwg

title: "Blinded By Light" (Extended Version)
artist: Masashi Hamauzu
album: Final Fantasy XIII - Original Soundtrack PLUS
FF game: Final Fantasy XIII
note: My favorite battle theme


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPEzumonJv4

title: New Bodhum
artist: Square-Enix Music
album: Final Fantasy XIII-2 - Original Soundtrack
FF game: Final Fantasy XIII-2
note: Definitely my favorite town-theme. I couldn't estimate how many hours i spent driving home from school listening to this song.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twjprvhoumc

title: Crazy Chocobo_Ustream Edit
artist: Nobuo Uematsu(unsure, confirm for yourself..)
album: Final Fantasy XIII-2 - Original Soundtrack PLUS
FF game: Final Fantasy XIII-2
note: Don't like your current chocobo song? get a music device and replace it with this.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbXusNChCgc

title: Clash on the Big Bridge - Oriental MIX - (Big Bridge no Shitou -Oriental Mix-)
artist: Nobuo Uematsu(unsure, confirm for yourself..)
album: Final Fantasy XIII-2 - Original Soundtrack PLUS
FF game: Final Fantasy XIII-2
note: Whenever I play this song to someone new they immediately say "NARUTO!". Are you one of them? lol




That's all I got for now.. I could have done more but this kind of takes a while. =_= Maybe I'll do more sometime?

[Altijacek]

Nice thanks

[HakuroDK]

Mind if I contribute some of my favorites?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNpM8IAfPBA

Title: Castle Pandemonium
Artist: Nobuo Uematsu
Album: Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls OST
Game: Final Fantasy II
Note: Easily my favorite final dungeon theme in the entire Final Fantasy franchise and definitely one of the most memorable. It captures so much of what's going on in the story at the time this music is playing. The Emperor has captured the Throne of Hell and it is up to you to put an end to his rule!
Fun Fact: Final Fantasy IX's "Pandemonium" is actually this very song at 50% speed, making it sound darker and more ominous to better fit the tone of that game.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5JVevDDiUs

Title: Battle Scene 2
Artist: Nobuo Uematsu
Album: Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls OST
Game: Final Fantasy II
Note: One of the two best battle themes of the NES era Final Fantasy games. I always found this theme to have such fantastic amount of both gravitas and nobility while still being high enough tempo to constitute a boss theme.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtrJoV31xOw

Title: The Cloud of Darkness
Artist: Nobuo Uematsu
Album: Final Fantasy III DS OST
Game: Final Fantasy III
Note: The second of the two best battle themes of the NES era Final Fantasy games. The original was good, but this theme pays homage to the original by constantly phasing in and out between 8-bit-inspired chiptune and full-blown symphonics.
Fun Fact: With the entirety of Crystal Tower being put into FFXIV, a remix of this song will very likely be played during the boss fight against The Cloud of Darkness in Patch 2.5.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz2_by51DU4

Title: Moogle Village
Artist: Nobuo Uematsu
Album: Final Fantasy V OST
Game: Final Fantasy V
Note: To fit in with the demeanor of the moogles, this song is very upbeat, cheery, and almost silly in its construction.
Fun Fact: This is the first appearance of the Moogle theme song. Variations of the song can be heard all across the Final Fantasy universe, such as in FFVII during the "Mog House" minigame, FFIX at Mognet Central, and most familiarly to all of you, is actually the melody behind the theme of the boss battle against Good King Moogle Mog XII!

Title: Ancient Library
Artist: Nobuo Uematsu
Album: Final Fantasy V OST
Game: Final Fantasy V
Note: This song is the "Lavender Town" of Final Fantasy music. It's almost inappropriately creepy for when the song is played, and has often been made the butt of jokes for that very reason. Though it does make me hope for an Ancient Library dungeon in 3.X if only so we can hear what a remix of this theme might be... and so we can have a shot at fighting Byblos.

Title: Wind Shrine
Artist: Nobuo Uematsu
Album: Final Fantasy V OST
Game: Final Fantasy V
Note: Definitely a relic of the time, but it is one of my favorite dungeon themes of all time. It's very rhythmic, almost like footsteps climbing up a tower. Wouldn't you agree?

(That's it from me for now.)

[LadyVal]

I'll post my favorite. ^^

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rfx0...id=JOSqLVdGB1A

Title: Waltz for the Moon
Artist: Nobuo Uematsu (Remake by BitSymphony)
Album: Final Fantasy VIII OST
Game: Final Fantasy VIII
Note: The song from Final Fantasy VIII's most famous scene, the dance scene.

I was really disappointed that FF14 didn't have a moment like this, where you just forget the world is out to get you for a bit. :P I mean even our own personal feast was set up by ourselves in preparation for fighting Titan. lol. BitSymphony makes some great remakes of all kinds of FF songs, so check out his other work if you get a chance. ^^

[Evangela]

we all know that FF games have good theme songs so I'll tell you guys to try some awesome fanmade.

search for FF Violin on youtube.

Title: Gold Saucer (Beer SQ Remix)
Original Composer: Nobuo Uematsu
Remixed by: Elequesta of Tabla (obviously a pen name)
Album: Beer SQ
Game: Final Fantasy VII

I always listen to this when I'm just wasting time, like for a DF Queue as DPS or a FATE for an Animus book, while /sdancing.

Edit:

Title: Stone Drum (Cyan)
Original Composer: Nobuo Uematsu
Remixer: Radiowar
Album: Final Fantasy VI: Balance and Ruin

Just simply awesome. Probably gonna have this on repeat when they release Samurai and I do the class and job quests.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmoLL9TMmC4

Title: A Fistful of Nickels
Original Composer: Nobuo Uematsu
Remixer(s): Zircon, XPRTNovice, Jillian Aversa, and Jeff Ball
Album: Final Fantasy VI: Balance and Ruin (again)

Who knew Shadow was secretly a Spaghetti Western cowboy underneath all that black cloth? But seriously, another awesome one, and likely what I'll be listening to during the Ninja job quests.

In the end, Evangela has the right of it. We all know there's plenty of awesome official FF music, why not try out some of the fan stuff?

Title: Awakening
Artist: Kumi Tanioka
Album: Final Fantasy XI STAR ONIONS
Game: Final Fantasy XI
Note: always loved the shadow lord music but this remix is awesome :3

[Morzy]

Thanks guys. I'll get around to yours once I have time! But I also wanted to link a blog I made on IGN!

Seem you are quiet new to the series, most are XIII

[whoopeeragon]

If there's one thing that the XIII trilogy excelled in, was the superb music through all 3 games. I'm glad to see someone else agree with me.
