I genuinely think that FFV have the best soundtrack in the series. I have been playing FFV Advance a lot recently, and the music just struck me like never before. I have always liked the music, but I just didn't pay that much attention to it, and now as I sit, I wonder why that is. I have been listening to the piano album as well, and it only confirms what a truly magnificent soundtrack Nobuo put together for the game.

My favorite tracks are hands down:

- Ahead on Our Way (Main theme throughout the whole game - STUNNING!)
- A Presentiment
- Lenna's Theme
- My Home, Sweet Home
- Dear Friends

Just to single out a few!

Can't disagree with any of your choices. "Unknown Lands," the world map theme for Galuf's world is also really good. So is "The Dragon Spreads Its Wings." And "Battle with Gilgamesh" just won the FFV music rumble.

The music to Final Fantasy V kinda sounds like an old cheesy hentai. Especially the overworld music. I would also have to say that the battle music, even the victory fanfare is probably the worst in the series. Sorry to disagree. Play Final Fantasy IV and then we can talk about some of the best music in the series.

I loved the music for FF5. I think its very underrated. Its an underrated game altogether. But yes, the music is very well composed. I love the overworld theme, and Lenna's Theme.

Clash on the Bridge, otherwise known as Gilgamesh's theme, is one of my all time favorites of any FF game. My absolute favorite in FFV

I agree with MAZZ0Murder. Battle at the Big Bridge is definitely one of the best BGMs in the game imo.

FFV music is very underrated. My favourite song from it is "Walking the Snowy Mountains".

Battle With Gilgamesh is my all time favorite Final Fantasy song. Considering that is was associated to a very awesome boss, and the fact that it flat out rules. However, FFV has many other awesome tracks, like Mambo de Chocobo, and the Silent Beyond.

I think FFV has a very underrated soundtrack. I love in particular ExDeath's theme (the one you hear in the final battle) and also the one that plays while you fight Neo-ExDeath.

YES! Those are pretty nice themes, and they suit him well. It just seems like FFV doesn't get a whole lot of attention in the series

The way the instruments in FF5 soundtrack sound is just plain weird, FF4's sounded better. But FF5's composition is what makes its music great in my opinnion.
What I liked in FF5 soundtrack is that many tracks have references to other tracks and that gives it althogether a very nice consistency.
Apart from the obvious popular one's my favorites are:
-The ancient library
-Tenderness in the air
-As you feel I feel (don't remember the name, it's the forest one)
-"Love will grow" disc has a sung version of "my home sweet home", I don't know in wich langage it's sung, but it's one of my favourites.


"Unknown Lands," the world map theme for Galuf's world is also really good.

Yeah, that one sounds somehow similar to FF4's underground map to me.

Troian Beauty is the best song ever, but for some reason I can't recall as which ff game it is from...

It's from ff4.

Clash on the Big Bridge will always be my favourite, but I also liked Critter Tripper Fritter (The moogle theme), and What?. Both are awesome songs.

I have been listening to the Piano Collection a lot recently, and it is, quite frankly, amazing. O:

Magic Missile-- good choices. I love "What?" as well-- it's quite amusing and it really works well for the scenes it's played in. Like when everyone falls and Butz, Faris and Lenna are off in one area and Galuf's in another and they all start to move on and Galuf starts freaking out.

It had a lot of great tracks. I must say that it's probably the best tracks in the series. Yet I feel FFV is overlooked a lot.

Sure. You're right, but both pieces to anthology had great soundtracks. FFV, I went into that game during an unstable period in my life so the only themes I really remember are the crystal caves, the Pirate Theme, and the main theme. I recall there being some good town music in the game as well, but VI/III sits vividly in my mind as even the greatest works of Kano or Mitsuda. I am tempted to troll this thread into a Chrono Cross praise topic, but I digress.

I wouldn't say FF V is my favorite OST in the series but there are certainly some tracks that are timeless in my opinion, such as:

-Intentions of the Earth (my favorite)

-Ahead on our way

-Battle with Gilgamesh

-As I feel you feel (The remake is from the album "Final Fantasy 1987 - 1994" and the song name is "Legend of the Great Forest")

I can't rank Uematsu's FF OSTs (other than VIII, my favorite) because they all have things I love about them. The main thing I dislike is how the instruments sound, which I suppose is to be expected from older games. The songwriting is still very good. I also enjoy how the main theme is so omnipresent throughout the soundtrack. I do believe Uematsu is capable of much better battle themes than the ones present in this game. Although I really enjoyed "Clash On the Big Bridge" and the two X-Death battle themes, the regular battle and boss themes leave something to desire, and they are very important parts to an RPG soundtrack for me.

My favorites...

"Musica Machina"
"Nostalgia"
"Reina/Lenna's Theme"
"The Dragon Spreads its Wings"
"The Final Battle"
"Unknown Lands"

My favorites from this soundtrack are "Unknown Lands" and "Musica Machina". "Unknown Lands" (the theme for the second world) is probably my favorite overworld theme throughout the entire Final Fantasy series. "Musica Machina" was just a very creative idea on Uematsu's part and fit the location in which it was used perfectly.

How could you talk about FFV's music and forget about "Battle on the Big Bridge"?
IMO, that's my favorite track in the game.

Other notables; sorry but I don't know the official names...

The World 1 Ronka Ruins music
Exdeath's theme
Neo Exdeath's theme
The music in Carwen

CLASH. ON. THE. FREAKIN. BIG. BRIDGE.

'nuff said.

EDIT: My second favorite music in all of Final Fantasy, behind Seymour Omnis battle.

"Clash on the Big Bridge" is excellent, but it's also overhyped. There are other, better tracks on V's soundtrack.

I played this game while I was a gangster.
Youknow, moonsidegangster

I second with -|Persona|-
Except that.. I never liked the ronka ruins theme.
Besides, I like the FFVI music better than FFV.
ESPECIALLY
Terra's Theme
Cyan's theme
Relm's Theme
Celes's Theme
And a lot more i won't even mention. Ha Ha.

I've played all the classic Final Fantasy games and I enjoyed the music from each and everyone of them.

My top 5 music from FF5 would be

1. Battle at the Big Bridge (Gilgamesh's theme)
2. Ending theme (a rendition of Spreading Grand Wings)
3. In Search of Light
4. Battle 2
5. Spreading Grand Wings
