If only most of the game was as good as OST.

It was, the ost was very good but not great.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

This on Spotify?

Only see a few songs

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

I disagree, there are some exceptional tracks. Some of the best in the series imo.
Strong from start to finish.

I've been checking since the games release and all I can see are play lists. The new OS Prelude tracks are new though.

My only problem is they aren’t orchestrated

The synth quality is a little lacking

 

[Heaven Angel]

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Nice added to the OP

 

[sigmaZ]

Most of the soundtrack was functionally good, but not anything I will really revist. Away is a masterpiece though.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

It was

Not for me.

 

[Punished Miku]

Will definitely give this a full listen.

 

[StueyDuck]

Best ost 2023 hands down, and I'd even say 2022

 

[skit_data]

That vinyl set looks very, very tempting but it's probably gonna be too expensive. I already spent waaay to much money on jungle vinyls a few years ago. But this and the Returnal vinyls are really tempting.

 

[Celcius]

Best ost 2023 hands down, and I'd even say 2022

I think I put the SF6 OST over this

 

[StueyDuck]

I think I put the SF6 OST over this

To be fair I only played the sf beta but ffXVI is just such a great throwback OST, it feels like a video game, orchestrated at times, Sci fi throw backs to the future tech titles then hints of original scores creeping in.

Plus this may be controversial but easily the best battle theme in a long long long time.

 

[Lokaum D+]

I think I put the SF6 OST over this

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

I love the battle variants for the top 2 as well.

 

[Hudo]

has Uematsu contributed something?

 

[Kakax11]

Waiting for the ultimate edition to be delivered, 8 CDs

 

[Ar¢tos]

No chocobo song = dead to me

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

I would buy it physically....if I still had a CD player lol.

Where did you see a vinyl set?

 

[Punished Miku]

has Uematsu contributed something?

A lot of his melodies get reworked, so he gets credited. I doubt he was personally involved but I don't know.

 

[Captain Toad]

Very good OST, as always for Final Fantasy. Not the best in the series, though. That probably belongs to XIII.

 

[skit_data]

Where did you see a vinyl set?

Omg, you're right! I just saw the picture and assumed they were vinyls and not CDs

Well, one less temptation then.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Its awesome. My favourite since Fire Emblem 3 Houses

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Ugh, released on 8 CD's instead of Blu-ray Audio like most of their previous releases.

 

[swaffles23]

I'm gonna be honest. I liked the OST but it was kinda underwhelming. FFXIV Soken is still king

 

[Brigandier]

Very good OST, as always for Final Fantasy. Not the best in the series, though. That probably belongs to XIII.

Have to admit XIII OST was seriously good.

 

[KrazyKrelian]

I really like this tune, but it almost feels like it's in some kind of rarely used minor key or something. Kinda spooky but also feels manic in a way.

 

[Poplin]

wonder if it will hit spotify. any ideas how long before FF7R OST hit spotify?

 

[Kumomeme]

I'm gonna be honest. I liked the OST but it was kinda underwhelming. FFXIV Soken is still king

i disagree about underwhelming but yep, his work FFXIV is on whole different level. it is clear that he restraint himself to adhere to certain standard when compose music for FF16. for FF14, he has more freedom and able to let loose. from what i aware, his strength is actually with soundtrack with vocal voice (not orchestrial choir) and rock/metal music which is something, mostly not presented in FF16. but having him work on something different while having him toned down his style abit is breath of fresh air.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

I really like this tune, but it almost feels like it's in some kind of rarely used minor key or something. Kinda spooky but also feels manic in a way.

The piano version that plays later in the game is also v nice.

 

[Pejo]

FF music is the one aspect of the series that's literally always good. Thanks for the update OP, gonna give this thing a listen since I'm waiting for the PC version if/when it gets announced before playing the game.

 

[sigmaZ]

I really liked this one too. Great forest tune. It annoyed me a little because the first local you encounter it is not a forest. You don't get to the forest area it was obviously composed for until after you go through the town.

 

[ARK1391]

Omg, you're right! I just saw the picture and assumed they were vinyls and not CDs

Well, one less temptation then.

Dang it lol. I was really hoping there was a vinyl set that I missed. Oh well, one day perhaps.

 

[Punished Miku]

How much is it digitally? I may just wait for it to get added to streaming services. I looked on Apple Music and didn't see it.

 

[skit_data]

I hope this doesn't count as bumping too old of a thread but I was listening to the FFXVI soundtrack earlier today and while I haven't heard all soundtracks/music in every game this year I think FFXVI should have a pretty good chance at winning or at least getting nominated for "Best score and music" at the Game Awards. The games soundtrack really is outstanding.

My soundtrack of the year.

One of my favorite tracks. That trumpet

It's fantastic, one of the best soundtracks from recent memory. Japanese game composers always excel at bringing classically inspired music into the modern era.

Spoiler tagging as this includes the last boss theme.

[Katatonic]

OST is masterpiece level.

My soundtrack of the year.

It’s basically Searching for Friends from FFVI. Really love the vocals.

 

[Sleepwalker]

OST for this is so so good

 

[Katatonic]

Love the switch up:

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

I love techno theme and also the 3 choir variants in the final segment. Epic shit.

[Synless]

I can’t believe this still isn’t available to stream on Apple Music.

At first I was completely thrown off with that Typhon theme because it sounded very much like "brostep" but it really worked within its context

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

At first I was completely thrown off with that Typhon theme because it sounded very much like "brostep" but it really worked within its context.

Yeah definitely. I felt it was a great choice for that fight. It was unexpected and so was the music.

Another very underated piece of music from the game is Benedikta's theme. I can't find it on YouTube and there are a few variants in the game. But its beautiful and tragic, which suits the character.

I never played FF14, but I'm sold on Soken being a musical god. To Sail Forbidden Seas is enough, let alone the other 200 tracks or so.

 

[Meicyn]

I can’t believe this still isn’t available to stream on Apple Music.

It usually takes about a year or so before they add Final Fantasy soundtracks to streaming. They’re capitalizing on sales.
