We all know which the best game is, but which one has the best soundtrack? They're pretty different.

VII has the best ambient music for sad scenes and melancholy areas
VIII has great boss battle music and some other good stuff, but it pales compared to the other two
IX has the best boss music, the best themes for the individuals characters and a few of the best tracks in FF history (Protecting my Devotion and Not alone)
Ethan Bailey
I think VIII has the best soundtrack, followed by IX and VII in last. VII sounds a bit underdeveloped. IX is a great soundtrack, but it's very typical and safe, which I'll admit is the point of the game so it's just a matter of taste.
VIII has a great atmosphere to it that really fits the world. It doesn't sound like cliche'd medieval music, but doesn't go too far into the sci-fi esque soundtrack with heavy electronic songs like you'd expect it to. It's just really nice and calm for the most part.
Blake Clark
either 8 or 9, 7 was pretty underwhelming Tbh in terms of music
Aiden Reyes
VII and IX had great soundtracks, but VIII wins it for me. I was obsessed with the OST when it first came out, and it still holds up today.
Mason Richardson
Ryan Martinez
VII is the best overall
Logan Hall
I love all of FFVIII's SHIT'S HAPPENING tracks
Aaron Hernandez
None of the other songs hit me with as much nostalgia as Balamb Garden and this is coming from someone who played VII as his first JRPG.
I still prefer VIII's soundtrack just because of this one song. Sometimes I wonder if that one user went through and killed himself so he could live there.
Xavier Hill
Didn't expect people to like VIII. I always thought IX was considered the peak, followed by VII.
Joseph James
As much as I love the FF9's chill tracks and love its oldschool homage battle music, FF7's songs start to play in my head every now and then. It has such a great range of memorable songs.
Matthew Allen
There is something comfy about the pre-rendered backgrounds of VII. The slums in particular.
Guess it's that cyberpunk vibe. It's a shitty place, but I kind of want to live there.
Levi Edwards
7 had superb locations and BG artwork
Samuel King
IX > VIII > VII
Josiah Miller
IX has the best soundtrack. The best music of VII and VIII are as good as some of the best music from IX, but IX has so many high quality tracks compared to the others.
Isaiah Thomas
VIII easily has the best OST.
The sheer quality and variety beats out anything any other game in the series offers.
Only one close is legitimately XIII.
Kayden Jones
Based on number of 10/10 tracks:
FF VII - Let the Battles Begin, Force Your Way, Main Theme, Cosmo Canyon, Aerith's Theme, JENOVA, One Winged Angel
FF VIII - Liberi Fatali, Balamb Garden, Don't Be Afraid, Force Your Way, The Landing, Fisherman's Horizon, The Man with the Machine Gun, The Castle, Maybe I'm a Lion, The Extreme, Eyes on Me
FF IX - Vamo alla Flamenco, Sword of Fury, Jesters of the Moon, Battle 1, Over the Hills, Village of Dali, Hunter's Chance, Freya's Theme, Rose of May, Terra, You're Not Alone, Memoria, The Dark Messenger, The Final Battle, Melodies of Life
VII < VIII < IX
Jaxon Murphy
Meant Fight On instead of Force Your Way for VII.
Jayden Jenkins
Which game is the best OP?
Henry Green
Everyone already knows this, so there's no point in discussing it.
Jose Jenkins
I came here to post FFVIII, but I can't argue with the facts. IX really did have a shitload of great music. I think I personally still prefer VIII though.
VII is trash-tier as usual.
John Flores
VIIfags on suicide watch.
Carter Cooper
Off the top of my head, my favorite songs are don't be afraid, trust me, both of freya's themes. All three games are goldmines of soundtracks. They don't make em like this anymore.

OWA is honestly worse than Birth of a God. Doesn't fit in the series at all.
Alexander Clark
>FFV
>bad OST
I don't know why a single mediocre boss theme makes it the worst OST ever.
Aiden Kelly
This.
Birth of a God is pure ludo, the way it incorporates the classic battle theme bass line and Sephiroth's theme is unmatched.
Daniel Nguyen
>2, 4, 3, 7, 6
>better OST than 8,9,10
Jack Wright
I can't understand why people find it even remotely decent compared to all other OSTs that came before and after it.
Not a single track is decent, they're all fucking shit.
The battle theme feels like it's dying in a fetid swamp. The overworld theme is annoying as fuck and all other tracks make me want to vomit.
Worst thing is, it's my favourite FF apart from music, but I keep replaying it with no sound on.

good list
I'd put 14 in amazing their though if only for the variety
Logan Harris
>Vamo alla Flamenco
17 years later, I still need only hum a few seconds of this and it'll drive my mother up the wall. I played so much goddamn Chocobo H&C it's ridiculous.
It'll always be FF9 for me.
Evan Clark
Didn't Nobuo Uematsu say he liked 9 the most?
Isaiah Bell
yes
Nicholas Brown
ffvii is best everything case closed
ffviii's music is good too
but ffix has too much of the main theme rearrangement, they kinda all feel the same
Gavin Clark
>14 arrangements is too much from a 100+ OST
Ethan Peterson
Yes it is, jesus why so many
Charles Cox
Almost every FF game is like that, the main theme from VII is used a bunch too. Almost any plot relevant music has that 1 2 3 motif in it.

Sealed Castle theme
Moore Forest
Exdeath's boss theme, which is one of the best boss themes in the whole series.
Void pre-crystal area
Neo-Exdeath's theme
VI has the worst boss and battle themes in the series and my least favorite final battle theme. V has a mildly annoying danger theme and world map theme, a bunch of good songs, and a bunch of mediocre ones. Why the fuck would I think the latter has the worst soundtrack ever? It may not be IV levels of quality but claiming that it has no good songs and is the worst soundtrack in the series is just retarded.
Oliver Collins
Dancing Mad is your least favorite final battle theme?
Juan Roberts
Yes. The only even acceptable part of it is when you fight Kefka himself and considering that he just rolls over for any halfway competent party while you have to deal with getting your ears raped by bad orchestral samples for the three fights prior, it doesn't even come close to making up for it.
Xavier Price
>V
>Shit tier
I have been on this fucking site for thirteen God damned years. I have seen depravity nigh peerless. I have argued with and insulted a vast menagerie of retards. Yours is it. Yours is the new gold standard in fucking shit taste. Kill yourself. I'm not being ironic. You are a zero sum. Remove yourself from the ecosystem.
Carson Adams
The Extreme is still arguably the best final boss theme of the franchise: just classic Uematsu composition at it's finest that screams Final Fantasy more than any other battle theme.
Cooper Nguyen
All work for their respective themes really. You can't really swap them into each game except maybe final boss fight music.
Each game visually inspires a different set of music. When it comes to 9, making a new game you have that old timey feel to it, that you know this is going to be a midieval feel to the game.
7 had that first of its type feel. You never had an rpg where medieval type powers and styles was pushed into a scifi setting, you were not limited in creating an ambience for that.
8 had the it's thing where it tried to do what 7 did, but falls flat since 7 already did it. 8 will always be the lesser to 7 in that regard amoung many others.
Justin Johnson
VII, no contest. And it wasn't my first Final Fantasy either, the music is just in another dimension compared to VIII and IX. IX is the weakest of the three and VIII has some really good standout tracks but overall it's not as good as VII's.
Jaxson Ortiz
The Extreme was a better theme and One-Winged Angel. Prove me wrong
Eli Jenkins
You miss the airship theme of FF8
Brayden Morgan
Move FFIII to at least great tier and you got yourself a solid list.

Ayden Rogers
Personal opinion ff7 has the best boss and final boss theme, final fantasy 9 has the best worldmap theme.
I don't really like any of ff8 song
Gabriel Jones
People like the music for VIII. While mixed on the gameplay and systems within it, there is no doubt 8 has the best soundtrack and minigame.
Austin Brooks
Best song for best waifu

Wyatt Brooks
FF8 would've been a masterpiece had it actually stayed on the level of Disk 1 quality throughout. That's seriously the best early part of any Final Fantasy game in my opinion.
>you will never be a member of SEED undertaking fleshed out missions throughout the entire game

Brody Peterson
Everyone already agrees that FF8 has the best OST.

Christopher Gonzalez

Daniel Harris
The writing really fell apart on the later half of the game. Like, goddamn, the plot holes that are introduced here are insane.
I would say it's intentional and buy the whole ''Squall is dead'' theory, but it's clearly too clever to be true. They just fucking dropped the ball.
Jack Perez
Zidane's rewards is fuckingnothing-tier. Both Freya and Vivi have better rewards.
Nolan Murphy
There was only one track in all of Final Fantasy 7 that impressed me and it was this one: youtube.com
Adrian Lopez
8 is the GOAT FF soundtrack
Camden Phillips
Whatever....
Hunter Scott
I'd say Freya's reward is best seeing as it will be a long time before you can get Coral Rings normally.
Jaxon Barnes
Ironically, that's the structure Type-0 went for, but that game had other problems.
Jason Butler
VII is my overall favourite but also has the weakest OST of the three. IX is the best in that regard, and Uematsu feels it's his overall best work too, even though I think X has the best OST of the franchise.
Jeremiah Nelson

Sebastian Morgan
How bout straight from Nobou who fucking said 9 was his magnum opus and he would never work as hard on a soundtrack ever again.

>Eyes On Me

I would love to see what kind of music you listen everyday, you know that.
Leo Ross
While I enjoy Eyes on me at a the thematic level, the engrish is too distracting to be a good track, I agree.
Dominic Sullivan
You dont talk about soundtrack if there no FFVI
Hudson Foster
But, VI's soundtrack was so inconsistent and it has some really shitty orchestral sampling.
Joseph Gutierrez

VIII's soundtrack is the only thing that game has going for it but my stupid brain plays VII songs in my head almost every fucking day so that wins for me.
