What Final Fantasy has the best music to you?

Let me just say for starters that all FF games have great, great music. I was just commenting in the PS3 forum that the thing that stuck out in the new FF13 demo was the battle theme and how awesome it was.

For me, it's a toss up between 4 and 7. 4 had that epic adventure style to it and I still find them stuck in my head from time to time on random occurrances. 7's score brought so much atmosphere to the game. The tunes were creepy and eerie in many cases and added a lot of emotion to the game. Both games had the best overworld map themes... especially 7's.

I am only part way through FF12 and love the music there as well.

All I know is that FFVI's battle them music is my favorite and I haven't even played the game yet. I've only played 3, 4, 10, 10-2, and 12 so my views are limited.

Yup, it sure does. I'm personally hyping Final Fantasy XIII as being one of the best FF soundtracks we'll hear in a while, mainly due to who's writing the bulk of the music. As for a FF game that Uematsu scored, my favorite has been FF VI, namely due to the number of themes the game used, and how it developed/restated so many of those themes in clever ways. In addition, it also had several long/extended form pieces, like the Opera Scene, and the Final Boss music.

This is hard. I guess IX had the best (barely). IV, VI, VII and VIII were also excellent.

Honestly, I'd say Final Fantasy VII. It was varied, catchy, and sometimes emotional. And nothing sounded like it. It had a very unique quality. But I wonder how Final Fantasy VI would sound on a modern system or in an orchestra.

EDIT: Nevermind, Terra's Theme sounds amazing when it's orchestrated. I guess it's a tie now between FFVI and VII.

Ooh same here! Both have really amazing soundtracks. Sometimes if my ipod's with me, I'll play the tunes right as I'm jogging.

Although I love all of the music from each of them, the ones that stick with with me the most are VII's track and XI's. (Yeah it's the MMO, but the music was still great.)

All Final Fantasies 5-10 had great music. (4 had some nice ones, too, just not as much as 5-10, IMO)

But the best for me would be FFVII, with FFX very close behind it, and then FFVI very close behind FFX. :P

I liked the music from Fianl Fantasy XIII. That music was awesome. Can't wait till the soundtrack comes out.

It isn't a mainline FF game, but I'd give the nod to FF Tactics.

I've never heard such consistent variety of high quality music as I have in VI. Almost every track in that game is catchy and unique (especially the Veldt, where Gau is found.)
