"This soundtrack is probably my favorite right next to FF7. To me it's hard to tell which one is better. They are both my fav at the time of their release. FFVI is the best SNES release and FF7 is the best PS release. Both have just extremely beautiful music. If you like Final Fantasy you will absolutely love the soundtracks. GET IT NOW!!!"

A Great Set of Music

"The music was very beautifully written, making it easy to become part of the music at times. The love themes are very heartfelt and perhaps the most touching of them was Aria Di Mezzo Carattere on Disk 2. I found certain songs such as Techno de Chocobo to be a little rough on the ears, but it is the only techno song in the entiire set(also on disk 2).

The music is entirely instrumental, therefore sometimes a bit lengthy and othertimes fairly short. The longest song is the ending theme(counted at 21 minutes, 35 seconds. It is a blend of all the music in the entire set, but still good if one enjoys instrumental movements.

Overall, a great set. I'd recommned it."

It Really is the Best Final Fantasy Soundtrack

"Even in the year 2006, Nobuo Uematsu's score to Final Fantasy VI is regarded by fans as his best music score to the Final Fantasy series. Forget that Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX and X are out there, fans are still coming to the FFVI soundtrack and listening to it as if it's modern day music. Is it say... Beethoven's 9th Symphony? Indeed, it is not, but as far as video games go, Final Fantasy VI has a music soundtrack that is worthy of praise and fame.



Final Fantasy VI was a game on the Super Nintendo. Originally released int he states as Final Fantasy III, gamers were imediately blown away by its memorable characters and storyline along with it's complex, insane, kill-for-sport main villian, Kefka. Final Fantasy VI has a large cult following. Long time Final Fantasy fans regard Final Fantasy VI as the best one in the series (a shock to those who keep blabbering Final Fantasy VII is the best). Yet what really compliments Final Fantasy VI and Nobuo Uematsu is the soundtrack to the game. Composed for the Super Nintendo, you won't hear anything quite as good as what you'll hear on a playstation (the Super Nintendo simply wasn't capbale of such), but you'll still find a few goods songs that not only make you feel good and remember the game, but that you'll want to listen to for the sake of listening to them. You don't have to be a Final Fantasy fan to enjoy the music, just a music lover.



There are plenty of memorable tracks. From Kefka's theme all the way on down to the classic ending prelude that's played in just about every Final Fantasy game. However, of all of Final Fantasy VI's tracks, the best of the lot is without a doubt the opera smash Aria Di Mezzo Carattere. The music of Aria Di Mezzo Carattere is often remembered as the music to the opera scene, spotted by many Final Fantasy fans to be one of the most memorable moments in Final Fantasy history (perhaps even video game history itself). This track quickly makes you forget that you are listening to the music of a Super Nintendo game, and you'll think you really are listening to Symphony.



I will agree with those who say that the Final Fantasy VI soundtrack is the best. Remember, this is a soundtrack for a game on the dated Super Nintendo, and it still sounds good, even in this day and age. This is Nobuo Uematsu's crowning achievement in Final Fantasy!"
