VIII. Say what you will about the rest of the game sucking but you need your hearing checked if you don't think the OST is top notch.

FF8 > FF7 > FF9 > FF6 > FF10 > FF5 > FF4 > FF11 > FF3 > FF1 > FF2
X-2, XII and XIII have generic and dull soundtracks in comparison and are disqualified.

VII.

In terms of being iconic? IV for sure

Overall? That's hard

I don't think you've listened to a full FF soundtrack before if this is your favorite. Also, underage pls go.
>>
>>334565463
Nice samefag, but I've listened to and have ever FF OST is FLAC, and in them only a few tracks stand out per game, XVs OST already has much better compositions, melodies and better atmosphere in the music. And like I just told you before those songs are all older than you, it's obvious you are the underage one here desperate to look like an oldfag and can't deal with newer things being better.

I can support this. Though I really love Matoya's cave in FF1 and, though I can't manage it, it does make me want to try and bump it up higher in the list for it.

It'll probably be XIII-tier, which isn't that bad, really.

Ff9

>>334565127
The new prelude is nice. I like it. Rest is kind of lame. FF is now more about ambient or background tracks that don't interfere with voice acting over leitmotif and I am not okay with that change.

Uematsu was the heart and souls of FF. Everything will seem dull in comparison.

>>334567498
I agree, he's my favorite protag so far. If you can ignore some silly moments here and there and the big THIS IS YOUR FAULT scene, he's pretty good.

If you were to fix that a bit, he'd be a dream come true.

Dude XIII has one of the most forgetabble and bland OSTs ever

XV already has more better tracks than 8 does, Omnis Lacrima > Liberi Fatali

>>334566739
Are you deaf? Tell me how Omnis Lacrima, Summon Theme, the Uncovered theme, the Dawn theme, Niflehim base Veiled in black theme etc are "ambient", they are all impactful and intense tracks

Sorry but 13 has a fucking shit OST, XV already shits all over 13s trash OST, Hamauzu is such a fucking hack

Zidane's theme was way better than you're not alone. It defines the entire game centered around him.
>starts off happy and adventurous
>this is the kind of person you see Zidane as when you first see him
>at around the 0:55 mark the adventurous feel is replaced with a confused comfy feeling representing Zidane's insecure unknown past
>at 1:57 the main theme of FF9 begins to play which sounds like a moody melancholy
>this is the point where Zidane recognizes and accepts his origins (end of disc 3)
>the song ends with the initial happy vibe (the ending)

Both are pretty shit though. FF4 had the best music by far.

>>334567498
Tidus definitely seemed a lot more real than the other protagonists even though he wasn't real...kek

>>334565127
XV is shaping up to be amazing. Might even dethrone VIII and XII for me.

Music went to shit post-FFX. Lost Odyssey is an example of what could have been if Uematsu hadn't left, and if Square didn't neglect his freelance status.

All Uematsu does now is compose one or two songs for indie games and shitty cash-in Compile Heart trash. I blame Square.
