Anyone who knows this feeling? One is in a cafe, at a restaurant or in a disco and listen to a title that appeals to a true, but you do not know which title it is. The music that is played there, one would not leave it at that and "enjoy" at home can - so it is with the FF soundtracks.
You play the ingenious game and running in the background such a good, harmonious and mostly wordless music, of which you get a catchy tune, it hums or just do not want to forget. You know the feeling? Playing this series I feel that way.
The music is just a delicacy for the ears. One might think that the music one perceives when playing only partially or even completely replaced, but it is not. The attention is attracted automatically, once you hear this so harmonious and well-composed pieces by Nobuo Uematsu.
The game is characterized by various circumstances of life, emotions, experiences and adventures. For each situation, the music was so mixed, so that one with closed eyes can put itself into the world of Final Fantasy VIII also listening this title. One feels at once with the characters and can understand them - a prerequisite of course is that you know the game very well. I can say that this soundtrack with me still stands on the top shelf and is inserted regularly by me. Especially after a stressful day, some titles can do very well and relax the soul. With "Eyes On Me", one of the few tracks with acoustic, Endorses the young Japanese woman who sings the song, a great name and gives all lovers a very good song for the background of Gellüpte.
Well, but I do not want to just talk from the perspective of one who knows the game. I wrote this soundtrack to a colleague who is really a music enthusiast and probably his doctoral thesis on the whole notes, instruments etc. could write. Result? He was Hochauf excited about this soundtrack that he even "analyzed" a few titles to themselves to play on a piano and these contribute to its videos. It this probably needs no further explanation.
Conclusion: Guaranteed not only for those who know the game. Also soundtrack fanatics should give this collection a chance and listen at least samples. It will really inspire you and you will be amazed at the diversity. Guaranteed!
