The Best Final Fantasy Music

Over the past couple of decades, Final Fantasy has done many things very well: stories, characters, art direction, chocobos, all that jazz. But ทางเข้า winner55 ผ่านโทรศัพท์มือถือ​ one thing has always made Final Fantasy stand out among its peers: the music. Most of the credit for that music goes to Nobuo Uematsu, the tremendously talented composer responsible for Yono all app the beeps and bloops behind Square Enix’s ubiquitous RPG series.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Uematsu turns 55 today, and on this Very Special Edition of Random Encounters, we’re celebrating all he’s done for RPGs by posting a bunch of his finest work. Below are some of the best tracks in Final Fantasy, presented in no particular order. (Feel free to post your own favorites in the comments, too.) Final Fantasy – Prelude Classic. The track that started it all. Final Fantasy VII – Aeris’s Theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIqKWLkm2-g I’M NOT CRYING THERE’S JUST SOMETHING IN MY EYE. Final Fantasy IV – Troian Beauty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_9Dc7USBhY One of my favorites. Way underappreciated. Final Fantasy IV – Boss Battle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C6iHlBN_ZM This track is really good at pumping you up. Final Fantasy VI – Epitaph https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ru6s85JZZc 🙁 Poor Daryl. Final Fantasy IX – Crossing Those Hills https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dz6K0iyRAE Almost makes up for the crazy random encounter rate on the FFIX world map. Final Fantasy V – Battle with Gilgamesh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CMTXyExkeI Man, Gilgamesh is such a ridiculous series staple. I hope he shows up in FFXV. Final Fantasy VI – Aria Di Mezzo Carattere https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi0yL_KvW7g The Opera House scene is up there for Best RPG Scene Ever. Final Fantasy VII – Cid’s Theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJzfOA9uV6E Regal, grand, wonderful. Post your own favorites—and other Uematsu thoughts—below.
