I dont own gamecube and the last final fantasy games I played was FFX. I dont even know such game exist. It's just when I was browsing rpgfan to read their review about soundtracks, I clicked the review about FF CC soundtracks. Rpgfan gave a good review for this cd and I eventually interested in it since Kumi Tanioka using a lot of traditional instrument and renaissance style compositions.

Don't expect the romantic and dramatic music from uematsu in this soundtrack. Kumi Tanioka proves she's brilliant composer. The 2 cd contain 52 tracks which will bring you to the atmosphere of perfect mediaval fantasy. Tanioka used a lot of flute and string instrument in this cd. I couldnt tell whether they are synthesizer or not. They sound so real, so they must be a real performance.

The problem in this cd is might be the using of traditional too much which might tires your ear. The 2nd cd also have too much ambient tracks which mostly less enjoyable compared to the cd 1.

My favorite track in this soundtrack is "Annual Festival". A perfect music which describes the atmosphere of people celebrate festival and having some kind of folk dance party.

All I could say, the music is almost perfect, I only wish the 2nd cd is more musical instead of giving ambient atmosphere.

4/5

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I forgot to mention, 125 Water of Life also one of my favorite. The beautifulness of the song really matches with the title. It's really relaxing and peaceful song, as it's associated with the element of water.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The only thing gives me curiousity is whether the recording of this soundtrack done by sequencing or streaming. Does anyone know some information in the making of this soundtrack?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
