Answers - One of the best? The best?

[Fantasia]

I was obsessed with Answers before the final video was even up, so seeing it match the video so well blew me away (I was crying almost as soon as it started >.<)

I've got (almost) every OST, but Answers has quickly risen through the ranks. I'm a little ashamed of myself, pushing aside such amazing classics like Suteki da Ne, but I think Answers has grown a place in my heart. I can't push it away =(

Distand Worlds, definitely. <3 I'll never forget the feelings I had when I was done with CoP and went to watch the final CS.

My favorite FFXIV track is To Zanarkand. I like Answers a lot and I will try to learn to play a rendition of it myself. I think a violin version would be a-pretty-pretty good. :>

FF6 - Terra's Theme, The Opera (?)
FF7 - Aerith's Theme, Tifa's Theme, Main Theme, Sending a Dream into the Universe
FF8 - Eyes on me, Julias Piano
FF9 - Melodies Of Life, You're not alone
FF10 - To Zanarkand
FF11 - Distant Worlds

All the music from FF's are great. I'll list my favourite per game and go OTT on VI because it's my favourite.

I - Matoya's Cave

II - Emperor's Theme

III - Crystal Tower (I'll be upset if this isn't remixed for XIV's Crystal Tower)

IV - Zeromus

V - Battle on the Big Bridge (I hope this gets used in XIV)

FFVI has too many good tracks to list them all, but my personal favourites are Kefka's Theme, Dancing Mad, Terra's Theme, Cyan's theme. That's not to say that the rest aren't great, the entire OST for VI was a masterpiece. I'd talk about Slam shuffle, but Zozo? Never heard of it!

VII - Overworld theme

VIII - Liberi Fatali

IX - Dark Messenger (oh god this song was so good)

X - To Zanarkand

XI - Ronfaure

XII - Esper theme

XIII - lol

XIII-2 - I really enjoyed the Gilgamesh remix.

XIII - lol

XIII did have a great soundtrack. The Final Fantasy community fiercely clings to Uematsu — and with good reason, don't get me wrong — at the expense of the other composers who have worked on the series. All things considered, Hamauzu (who did all of XIII, as well as a lot of great tracks from X) is a better composer than Uematsu: texturally, harmonically, and structurally, he's a lot more sophisticated than Uematsu. But Uematsu writes stronger and more accessible melodies, and melodies are easier to latch on to for most people.

Exactly. Don't get me wrong, Uematsu is amazing , but things do seem to get a bit more 'bland' and repetitive after a while. Hamauzu really does seem a lot more 'next gen' with his music and seems to offer more. Also, I love that the new soundtracks have a lot more vocals in them... they keep my attention more. Some new characters' theme songs are lyrical too, just offers a lot more depth in my opinion.
