Wow, this soundtrack has it all. I found the Waterside theme very disappointing when I first heard it in trailers, but now it's grown on me. Nobuo Uematsu wrote a new, memorable main title again that resembles nothing I've experienced before
 I've heard a lot of disc 1 in gameplay videos already, and while the Lamenting Bell Toll and Land Shark is Coming are great themes, the next highlight is Mysterious Village for me. This reminds me so of Final Fantasy IX, but in a good way. It's the proof Uematsu is still able to come up with some oldschool tunes. Dragon Fight just rocks. I've made it my new ringtone the second I got the OST. Starts out great, but as it advances it's more and more boring: perfect ringtone I love the melody, typical Uematsu, but the second part is kinda chaotic. It could have at least looped for more coolness.Exceed the Land is the worldmap theme, and it sounds as if he's tried to copy Sakimoto's FF12. I think he failed, yet the instruments will still blow you away. Disc 2 is even better in my opinion. Zola's Theme is an excellent character theme, Cavern is an excellent cavern (?) theme, but what's the highlight of 2006: State of Emergency and The Seal is Broken Just wonderful. I'm not a fan of big choirs, but in the Seal is Broken it just feels right (just like in FFXI Main Theme, but nowherere else). I hope this is gonna be the new One Winged Angel. To sum it up, I'm highly pleased with the soundtrack, I didn't find a bad track and enough new classics that returned my faith in Uematsu. Jam it back in, in the dark.  |
