Favorite Final Fantasy Music - FFII

3

FFIII is my admitted least favorite (note: not bad! just least favorite! least best, even, c tier at worst) FF game, but I still think it has some good tracks so Let Me Share My Onions (see this is funny because I call opinions onions sometimes and onion knight is what you start as see it’s a good joke))

This is also a case of I think the PR is the absolute best version of this soundtrack but I can’t find a good upload of it so if you can listen to any of those versions of these songs please do so

5. The Forbidden Land, Eureka

I just really like the melody of this one! I think it’s fun. It also sounds very heroic, which I think works really well for the final (4) dungeon(s). Not much else to say I just like it :)

4. Crystal Cave

This is such a good first area theme. Something I think I just like about FFIII’s music is the kind of like, twinkling? I think? I don’t know the music words, but anyways that twinkling that a lot of the good songs have, it makes me think of crystals! And thinking of crystals in FF is good. I also attribute some of me liking this to my first experience with this song being Labyrinth of the Ancients in XIV so when I first got here in my III playthrough I did the soyjak point cause OHHH IT’S THE SONG

3. Eternal Wind

Everyone knows this one. This is like, the one thing that FFIII has done for the world (lie), it’s got 20,000,000 different versions and not one is bad (i’m not fond of the DS one). I do think I personally like this song more because of the connection to the rest of the series (XIV), but I think it has a very nice melody, and is probably the best overworld theme of the NES games. Special shoutouts to the Dissidia version, which sounds something straight out of the early internet and I love it, probably my favorite version.

2. The Dark Crystals

This song is magical. I love the soft harp/piano (depending on the version) backing the song, and the quiet calm melody. It perfectly feels like a dark, empty void realm, walking on crystal, but then it hypes up, reminding you that “oh this is the final dungeon out of my 4 segment long super tower of fun” and that you’re the big heroes about to save the world

1. Last Battle

This song. This song is so good. Yeah sure I might be cliche picking the final boss theme as my favorite song but I do not care and I will most likely continue to do so cause I’m a generic bitch! I love the build up. It sounds perfectly creepy like you are in the dark and this evil force is growing, then it goes into the big epic finale battle, all awesome, perfect for getting hit with 72,000 giant laser beams because it only has one attack

Special shoutouts to Battle 1, Battle 2 and The Crystal Tower who, while good, couldn’t quite hit top 5 for me
