 | Huh, I thought I'd posted my faves before. It's a toss-up between "Antidote" and "Apoplexy" from FFT, and "Great Warrior" from FF7. Unusually moving pieces and very apt for the scenes the play, especially Antidote, whose twinkling sounds really evokes images of snowfall. |

 | Hell; one song? =\ Well, if it comes to that, I doubt I could properly sleep at night were I to offer up anything but the Advent Children rendition of "One Winged Angel". Just entirely too much raw compositional and instrumental power to be denied. In terms of how thoroughly it fills out the soundscape, one would be hard pressed to find a rival in any musical genre, methinks . . .  And it is certainly a feat worth noting that Uematsu managed to add an original verse to the existing piece and invent entirely new lyrics to be set against the old music . . . Peripheral choices would probably include the surreal and utterly despondent "Wandering" from the Final Fantasy X OST, perhaps "Servants of the Mountain" from the same soundtrack, if the mood is conducive thereto, and perhaps "Judgment Day" from the FFVII soundtrack. Three other possibilities just sprang to mind, though, so this post will be summarily be put to death before it has a chance to turn on the hangman and rally the townspeople. <_< >_> |

 | Well, being a person who likes music to be loud, energetic and kinda fast: FF7's boss theme, Sara Ni Tatakau Monotachi (as its original title goes, though people tend to meander between "Still More Fighting" and "Those Who Fight Further"; SMF is an unofficial translation that was used until The Black Mages did the TWFF arrangement, and since the latter is an arrangement it's hard to say if that's the original official title) Although I like most of FF7's soundtrack in general. It takes the idea of a chiptune to a different level. |

| | Most likely an ignorant question, but when you say "chiptune", you are referring to music produced by synths using a sound chip, correct? If so, fully concurred; FFVII is rather in a class of its own (vocal synths weren't much, though; "One Winged Angel" was rather a joke in the original game  ). Things like the Megaman X5 soundtrack (which seemingly continued to use synthesized music for stylistic purposes long after the VG music industry had begun to shift over to genuine instruments, at least until X7 came around and heavy guitars were laid into the mix) may be good in their own right, but few synthesized soundtracks are more blatantly "orchestral" in their sound than that of FFVII. Kind of remarkable that something with such low overall sound quality (FFVII deserved an orchestra, and tracks like "One Winged Angel" and "Weapon Raid" would have benefited greatly from it) was produced in the same year as Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.  Just no comparison as far as sound quality goes. |
