Final Fantasy!

Chrono Trigger would beat out any FF for music in my opinion.

Chrono Trigger would beat out any FF for music in my opinion.

But if we're talking Final Fantasy, then I'll root for FF6 (US).

FF4 or FF6 would be my choice.

you really need to specify the topic!
i almost had a heart attack because i thought this is about FF7 and 8 are finally released on steam

topic:
overall: final fantasy tactics
musicwise: FF8 (i played so much damn triple triad, it took ages to get all the cards)
this song is burned into my brain

TL;DR: FF7 & FF4

Man, asking me to pick best FF music is like asking me to pick a favourite child! ...There are some I am not proud of (FFX-2, anything Post FFXII) but other than that Nobuo Uematsu did a great job with scores. (Some good tracks not by Nobuo, but...Mostly meh to downright awful)

If I had to pick a favourite it would be FF4, but then the PS games (VII, VIII + IX) also have some beautiful music...ARGH! And FF1's score is underrated, like Chaos Temple, Matoya's Cave, Gurgu Volcano it all had that...epic adventure feel to it!

My favourite individual piece is this short one from Final Fantasy III (that's III overall, not III as in VI!) Lute of Noah

and Maybe I'm a Lion is my favourite if we're talking remixes, though their Clash on the Big Bridge comes close although Kate Covington does some amazing fan covers. Her acapella cover of the Cleyra theme from FFIX is pretty fantastic.

...I'll stop being a fanboy now.

Final Fantasy VI's, though honestly I prefer Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross and Super Mario RPG's soundtracks to any of the Final Fantasies. I didn't quite understand the popularity of FFVII's soundtrack (outside of Still More Fighting, J-E-N-O-V-A and a select few others), mostly because a lot of them had painfully off-key sections like "Shinra Army Wages A Full-Scale Attack".

FF7 and FF9 had my fav music... non-FF Chrono Cross had amazing music!

I have never played final fantasy. O.o is it like Dragon Quest?

Final Fantasy VIII. Beautiful songs, beautiful world.

FFVI. 'nough said.

I played most of them (up to FFXII). And I can say that despite the love for the first ones of the series, my favorites are FVIII and FFIX

Everything Nobuo Uematsu has composed is amazing to me.
But out of all of the final fantasy games, I would have to say 8.

Final Fantasy IX and XIII.

Without a doubt, One Winged Angel.

Best songs... Hardest FF question I have been asked. I like music from all of them, its hard to find a FF that doesnt have at least 1 memorable song.

i liked FF7 ones FF12 was cool but... FF7 was almost my first game so 7 will win anyways

firstly i find it sad that while it clearly says FF music, the first two comments are saying a different game which is un-needed and dumb as the idea was to pick FF games not chrono trigger, no matter how perfect it is in your eyes...

now onto what i see as memorable music in Final Fantasy:

FFX international was the first one i played so it stuck to me like glue

FFVI with the opera scene and ultross was also very memorable to me...

beyond that pretty much anything made for FFXII, FFVII, FFVIII, FFX, FFVI, FF- lets just go with all and save some time... is memorable to me as it was the first series which made me interested in video games even slightly

FFV & FFVI.

FFVIII

I'd say Final Fantasy IX had the most memorable OST for me.

Vivi's Theme.
The Place I'll Return To Someday.
Vamo'alla Flamenco.
Dali Village Theme.
Qu's Marsh.
Bulmecia's Theme.
Treno's Theme.
Immoral Rhythm.
Black Mage Village.
Esta Gaza.
Skirmish of the Silver Dragons.
Dark Messenger.

...and my absolute favourite Uematsu piece, You're Not Alone.

Some of the best work he's done, I think.

FF VI, all of the music. Especially Aria di Mezzo Carattere.

Though, in general, every FF that involved Nobuo Uematsu, including the Final Fantasy that's not titled Final Fantasy, Lost Odyssey. Uematsu is a genius, plain and simple.

Final Fantasy X

How can it not be FFX?
