Best three tracks in the entire game.

Find Your Way is blatantly the best song in this game

Probably 'The Castle'.


Liberi Fatali is the most overrated song in Final Fantasy history. O:

'Those Who Fight Further' (VII). Overrated song from an overrated game.

'The Castle' plays in Ultimecia's Castle on the 4th disc of FFVIII.

It can be heard here as uploaded by some dedicated fan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czn2_ngX6_k

the landing
edea's parade
trabia garden
the man with the machien gun

balamb garden

boss theme.

"Drifting" (Very simple, but beautiful all the same.)

"Lunatic Pandora" (Very unique and just plain awesome.)

"Man With the Machine Gun" (I love electronic stuff like this. One of my favorite battle themes of all.)

"Never Look Back" (What other RPG would this song work in? Perfect for FF8.)

"Only a Plank Between One and Perdition" (I like danger/escape themes a lot... hehe)

"The Extreme" (I'll take this over Dancing Mad and One-Winged Angel any day.)

"Timber Owls" (I bet this didn't even cross anyone else's mind. I tend to like some of the more underappreciated themes, I guess... I love it. :D )

Of these, my favorite is probably "Man With the Machine Gun".

the landing
ending theme
liberi fatali
the oath
find your way
force your way

damn its just too much
all songs in final fantasy 8 are great

Hmmmm..

Liberi Fatali
Balamb Garden
Force Your Way
Find Your Way
Battle Theme

I dont know why people rate Man With the Machine Gun so much. I swear they just like saying the song's title. :P

The Man with the Machine Gun is a great song! Especially in Dissidia (now it has some electric guitars <3)

Liberi Fatili
The Landing
The Loser
Premonition
Force Your Way
Succession of Witches
Fisherman's Horizon
Julia
Amy
The Castle
Ending Theme
Eyes On Me

...and others :D!

Goddamn it...

No one has even mentioned Fear.

It plays in the Training Area of Balamb Garden.

It's so...moody.

Residents trumps all FF8 tracks, and the fact that no one else mentioned it is saddening.

1. Premonition
2. Maybe im a lion
3. Force your way.

My top 3 so far

Breezy
My Mind
Fisherman's Horizon
Trust Me
Ride On

Actually I really like A Sacrifice as well.

Force your Way
Balamb Garden

I'm surprised no one has mentioned.... The Legendary Beast. It's my favorite fight song on this album, shame it's only used once, and not so important fight.

The mission.
Balamb Garden.
The Extreme.
And more.

You know, the normal battle theme is pretty cool as well.

Have you heard the black mage's verson.

Have you heard the black mage's verson.
Of what? Considering The Black Mages were created by Uematsu, they don't really sound that much different except some electric guitars.

I know, I have all their shit (got it from a torrent).

Well thanks for telling me. I was actually considering downloading their music.

I also have heard some negative things about the Black Mages.

Their first album is brilliant. The second was interesting (Overworld with a chick singing is hehe). The third was a bit of a letdown.

motherfucking martial law

# Fisherman's Horizon
# The Landing
# Waltz For The Moon
# Force Your Way
# Balamb Garden
# Timber Owls
# Ragna Rock

Under Her Control is quite jazzy as well.

Obviously Eyes on Me. Y'know, that bit actually made me cry! The only other game that has managed to do that is Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations.

You people are crazy. It's all about Residents.

Fuck that shit. It's all about Timber Owl's!

Man with the Machine Gun.

It makes me happy face yes it does.

....Boxxxy?

Hey, I'd choose Man With Mashine Gun too.

It almost makes me want to dance and I'm not the dancing type.
Some other are...

Liberi Fatali,
The Landing,
Force Your Way,
Premonition,
Compression Of Time,
The Extreme.

Huh?... No one mentioned The Spy, nor The Salt Flats? >_>

Huh?... No one mentioned The Spy, nor The Salt /Flats? >_>
Because the ones mentioned are for winners while the others are for losers, see?

I can't believe no one besides me still hasn't mentioned Residents. I'm not sure I can handle this anymore, I might be forced to make a "Residents appreciation thread" so you'll all be limited to that. Watch for it tomorrow.

Balamg Garden, SeeD, Breezy, My Mind, FH, and The Oath.

The Castle is pretty cool as well. Certainly is a great build up to the final battle.

motherfucking Martial Law

The only one who named this one, Yes it's my fauvorite as well.

Dead End

Bumping this thread up from the bottom of the list a bit because I've been listening to so much FF8 music recently. Good thing I found this thread before I started a new one!

Anyway, here is my list of favorite music on FF8:
- The Extreme
- The Castle
- The Legendary Beast
- Premonition
- Residents
- Liberi Fatali
- Succession of Witches
- Silence and Motion
- Lunatic Pandora
- Eyes on Me

Only two stand out for me:

Liberi Fatali
The Man With A Machinegun

Pretty much all of it, with a few exceptions only. Nobuo Uematsu knows how to make music.

liberi fatali forever ! just because it's the opening sequence and it's so beautiful !

Liberi Fatali, it has always been one of my favorite video game songs. Maybe I'm a Lion is definately a good one, too, imo.

Mine is a 3 way tie between The Landing, Eyes on Me, and Breezy.

I can honestly say that I can play this game from beginning to end and feel like every piece of music perfectly fits the part of the game where it's played.

Subjectively speaking, it's a masterpiece in this respect (then again, I suppose that's because I haven't lost the childlike wonder of and love for this game).

Fragments of Memories
Silence and Motion
The Oath
Ami
Breezy
Roses and Wine
Julia
These are without a doubt some of the best songs I have ever heard.
Also, I'm listening to Silence And Motion now, it reminds me of Steampunk for some reason.. >_>

Final Fantasy VIII is one of only two FF titles (the other being FFIV) in which I love EVERY SINGLE SONG from the game. Each and every one fits its respective scene flawlessly.

Balamb Garden
Never Look Back
Liberi Fatali
Roses and Wine

just to name a few

Top 10 are:
1. Liberi Fatali
2. Find your Way
3. Balamb Garden
4. The Music for Triple Triad
5. Eyes on Me
6. Edea's Parade
7. Force your Way
8. Man with a Machine Gun
9. The Castle
10. Dollet

My Top 5 of FF8 scores are:
1. Ami (Trabia Garden) <--This track bring tears to my eyes reminding me what a good year it was, when i was introduced to ff8.
2. Under Her Control <-- YEAH! DELING CITY!
3. The Man with the Machine Gun
4. Only A Plank Between One and Perdition
5. Waltz for the Moon[COLOR="Silver"]

Find Your Way, especially good orchestrated

The Salt Flats
Man with the Machine Gun

My preference keeps changing. A few weeks ago, it was The Landing. Currently, it's Compression of Time. I can't stop listening to it.

I love this game, it brings back good memories of my childhood. I would love to play a release date for the end when I have time, lol. Very good game.

I agree with CC. This game's soundtrack is perfectly matched, and I think it's flawless. I think this and Chrono Cross both have that quality to them (though I didn't care for Chrono Cross's main battle music "Gale", it seemed.... clownish. Other than that, Chrono Cross was perfect.)

I like:
The Man With the Machine Gun
Force Your Way
Never Look Back (but it did get annoying at times)
The Stage is Set
The Extreme
Julia
Compression of Time

The FFVIII soundtrack was kinda dissapointment to me.
Don't take me wrong though, it has great tracks that fit in the game and it's mood,
but aren't really the style I like to listen.
However, there are some tracks that I do like.
The songs like Ami, Breezy and My Mind have relaxing and calm melodies,
which I happen to like.

I said that the OST doesn't have many tracks that fits my style,
but there are exceptions though.
Martial Law and Mods De Chocobo are that styled tracks I like.

However, the best track in my opinnion is this soundtrack is Find Your Way,
I just love themysterious feeling it gives.
Amen.

no one choose "eye on me" ???

Eyes On Me is great. For the first song in the series to feature actual vocals (screw One Winged Angel) with lyrics you can understand, which I also heard got released as a single in Japan, Eyes On Me is one of the best pieces in the whole series! It sure took me by surprise when I first heard it in the game.

Balamb Garden
Don't Be Afraid
Blue Fields
Fisherman's Horizon

Far, far too many to list, as I like a significant portion of the soundtrack. :)

But, here's a few of my particular favourites:

Overture (a clever tip-of-the-hat to Ravel's Bolero)
Liberi Fatali
Don't Be Afraid/Victory Fanfare
Find Your Way
SeeD
The Landing
Dance With the Balamb Fish
Waltz for the Moon
The Mission
The Man With the Machine Gun
Under Her Control
The Stage is Set
Fithos Musec Wecos Vinosec/Succession of Witches
Movin'
Mods de Chocobo
Silence and Motion
The Castle
The Legendary Beast (of all the FF tracks I'm still waiting for an orchestral arrangement this one is at the top of my list ;)).
The Extreme
Ending Theme (as pretty as [i]Eyes on Me is, the song is basically about Laguna so it's completely irrelevant where and when it appears during the scene on the Ragnarok. I think it worked far better as part of the game's ending, a beautiful track that was quite poignant as well.

Even though FFVIII's OST is not my favourite of Uematsu's works, (I prefer the FFVI and IX OSTs myself), but it's still a beautiful soundtrack all the same. :D

For me, Blue Fields, The Castle, and Liberi Fatali both orchestrated and piano versions. (theres a youtube version a fan made of liberi fatali) Wow. I cant say enough good things about this soundtrack, Nobuo Uematsu is my unsung hero

Good choices :) Welcome to the forums bro.

Good choices :) Welcome to the forums bro.

Thanks i'm really glad i found this forum :D

For me, in no particular order:
Liberi Fatali
Force Your Way
Breezy
Shuffle And Boogie
Martial Law
Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec
The Salt Flats (love it)
Silence And Motion
Resident (TOTALLY)
Eyes On Me (Definite like)
Lunatic Pandora (class)
Compression Of Time
The Extreme (possibly my favourite)
The Castle
Ending Theme (I love this one so much. Contender for favourite)

And tht's all. ;)

That last one was me. Just made a little error. Sorry...

Find Your Way is FF8's best track. =] Quite melancholic and slightly mysterious.
Then Breezy. I guess the laid-back peacefulness is what I love about it.
The other tracks I like most I prefer out of the Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec album, where most of them are orchestrated so nicely, but I still prefer the two above by a wide margin.

Junction, Eyes on me, Balamb Garden, Waltz for the moon,... the fighting themes as well :O

As many faults as there are in the game, I think FF8 has one of the best soundtracks of the series.

Liberi Fatali (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5f_VBd_17M)
Blue Fields (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQFiOq4VcRc)
Breezy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB30RVWeuP8&p=FFA173B51D7D483F)
The Spy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txs-MnMiP2w&p=FFA173B51D7D483F)
Balamb Garden (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eU0tRBHnE0)
Martial Law (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjTw1Wcjzf8)

Also, check out lonlonjp covers of the songs, such as this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCN-0b_qfXc). He's a fantastic guitarist and just a genuinely sweet human being to boot.

Liberi Fatili
Balamb Garden

The theme that kicks in about 12 seconds into this video. Anyone know what it is called?

Sorry, video doesnt appear to be working

FFVIII - Galbadian Biker - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sPHW-Z_FbQ)

Sorry, video doesnt appear to be working

The video works for me, and the song is called The Landing (about 50 seconds into it, actually), which first plays when Squall, Zell, Quistis, and Seifer arrive at the Dollet beach. Apparently, the fact that gives it's playing when the Galbadians are launching from their garden to Balamb garden give the song's title a dual-reference. Interesting.

Ahah! Thank you! I must have added about 200 views to all the FF8 OSTs on Youtube, and it was hidden 50 seconds into The Landing (which, I must state, I did also like)! I definitely like the dual meaning too, and the entire fight is one of the most awesome I have ever seen (you can see the rest of the fight on this channel MattWensley1992 (http://www.youtube.com/user/MattWensley1992)). The way you can watch a different part of the screen and see a different part of the entire fight! Quite a bit like the final Harry Potter film.

Anyway, thanks again!
