That is what battle music should sound like.

Eternal Sonatas is better.

Another Music thread, and another Tim Follin post from me. Possibly THE most chilled piece of music to ever go into a game. So good in fact, that's it's been my alarm ringtone for the past 5 years.

Soul Edge


Back in the days when Namco used to produce great music. Bring Back Khan's Super Session, dammit!

English Version of that song. I don't like Cooke/Mack, but I thought that was a really powerful moment of the game...

Which time?

It's pretty high up on my list - the music, the remains of Sarah's child around her...The fact that you weren't told (at the start) what that song was, but you could work it out

Although there so many brilliant moments - both plot/character/acting/music wise...

Cooke/Mack were ok, some annoying parts (mainly running off to the Auroa), they just seemed out of place with the rest of the game.

I've got Seth's song on repeat at the moment...

I love this one. Have you ever heard the original tune on which it's based? It's a bit different but Grant Kirkhope pisses all over it.

Nope, don't think so. Where can I listen to it?

Kazenone, I believe is the track name?

Crystal Chronicles was fun. It's a shame that Square have made some very strange changes to the franchise direction for it's sequels. I didn't enjoy what little I played of Ring of Fates, and the Wii title looks... uninspiring. Even assuming that it's still in development, it's never going to match the grandeur of FFXIII, so even taking it in an FMV heavy direction seems like a waste of time that could be better spent recapturing the simple graphical pleasures of the first game.

Life as a King seems like it'd be OK, but I point-blank refuse to pay for horse-armour, and in any case, the whole franchise is moving away from the multiplayer element that marked the original out as a natural successor to the wonderful Secret of Mana series - which is itself another fine example of Square losing the distinguishing features of their much loved SNES games.

It seems to me that the multiplayer elements of FF:CC marked it out as a near perfect hybrid of MMO and traditional jRPG. Social, but still limited enough that the traditional models of playing and selling games remained valid. Essentially, Final Fantasy with co-op play. As far as I'm concerned any lack of success on CC's part was mostly related to the need to have a Gamecube and four GBAs.
