I bought the tracks from iTunes and I got to hear annoying noises in Final Fantasy VIII OST tracks.
I’ve compared Blue Fields PSF (Portable Sound Format) version with Blue Fields OST version. There are annoying noises in every part like 0:01 to 0:02 from the right side in OST version while there is no such thing in PSF version.
And then there is noise in Love Grows song which is in 0:51 part. The noise come from the right side.
I listened to it carefully using headphones and it’s real. I’m not lying about it.
If you don’t have the OST you could hear it on Youtube.
It makes me feel depressed because I love FFVIII OST. 🙁
The music is loveable, but the quality of the OST version is just really bad.
I believe there are many reasons why the OST quality is horrendous, but I will give a list of some of it:
– The Landing volume is too quiet compared to other songs
– songs loudness are uneven, I need to change volume from track to track (like from The Landing to Martial Law)
– there are constant noise in songs (just listen to Drifting, The Loser, Blue Fields, Roses and Wine for example)
– there are annoying noises in songs (just listen to Cactus Jack (Galbadia Anthem) the noise is pretty clear coming from the left side on this one, The Stage is Set (after 1:10))
This really makes me sad because I love FFVIII music.
What should I do?
And sorry for my bad English.
Why do nobody notice it after all these years?
Why do it seems that it is just me who had these problems about FFVIII OST? 🙁
I’m so sad because I love FFVIII music so much.
Update: the noise from 0:41 to 0:43 is annoying too. It’s from the left.
Come on. Why do people seems like can’t notice the noise?
Use this as a starting point to start believing that FFVIII OST is problematic.

The bold: forget about it. It’s not a problem anymore. Now I think it’s not noise at all I think.
I have the actual CDs and I’m not hearing anything beyond some minor compression artifacts. And before you go "But that shouldn’t be there!" remember, these are 1998 MIDI samples that were designed to fit in less than 512KB of RAM we’re listening to. They were most certainly compressed.
The only minor annoyance I hear on some tracks is a slight hum at the start, but it goes away within less than a second, and that would be consistent with recording from real Playstation hardware.
Um well. I’ve the iTunes version and there are noises in Love Grows at 0:50 to 0:52 and 0:41 to 0:43.
I bought some of the OST tracks. From iTunes….
Physical Copy. Not Digital.
Those are still compressed MP3s.
The soundtrack is the annoying noise. Sounds like something from a shitty bargain bin Gameboy cart.
