Wasn't a huge fan of FF8 at the time, but as the years went on I slowly realized the music was fairly amazing, with The Extreme in particular ranking near the top of my all-time favorite battle themes.
Back in the day, this game got 10/10 for everything.. theres a reason why. Without being bias, as ff8 is one of my top game to date. This game is something special.
Agreed. FF8 Has (in my opinion) the best soundtrack; I mean it's considered one of the best out there in gaming history or at least that's what I feel most people have said. The music itself encouraged me to play piano and remix/compose and whatnot! I grew up with it, and I'll always have a love for it. ...Who on earth would rate it as 'less than good'..?!?!? -.-
It sounds like vincen't theme in the begining, but now that I compare the two, there is a slight difference in the pitch, but the two are very similar, compare them for yourself and see.
@mooofalooof that's not my words as I find 8's to be the best. 7 had some highly memorable ones but 7 also had tons of annoying/passable songs whereas 8's were always good/great or not annoying.
Im shocked o.o seriously... i grew up with these masterpieces and every time I hear them I find another detail that adds epicness to these songs... I seriously cant believe people can say they're the "worst in the series"... I mean... ok we can compare thoughts about this soundtrack and ff4, 6, 7... but worst than 3? 5 (minus clash on the big bridge)? really? still shocked o.o
@dragames people say ff8's soundtrack was the worst in the series... are you fucking kidding me? FF8's is possibly the best, it is DEFINATELY up there.
because it's not a lie, and I heard it often in game clubs, forums and chatrooms and such that it had the worst soundtrack (now by saying worst, it doesn't mean it's bad, since no FF prior to 12 had ever been considered bad.). I never said that I felt that way as FF8 I think had the best music out of the series.
@Hynria Ah, i see a flaw in your arguement,you say ultimecia is better than seph and kef, and i agree'd with you, yet you say naaa in a form of disagreement, as if to say, no ultimecia is not better than seph and kef, therefore YAAA KUJA IS TEH BEST I SO 1337
Personally, I think I like FF8's the best, partly by process of elimination. FF1-6 suffer from the (S)NES audio capabilities, FF7's is only good in comparison to its graphics or story, FF9 was fairly staid, and by FFX Nobuo's music was getting pretty samey - and the new team, while pretty decent, has never done as well. FF8 also has an interesting story premise - you start off as mercenaries and quickly are given cause to wonder about your superiors' motivations.
FF8s soundtrack was alright, but Chrono Trigger, Earthbounder, Mario 1 and 3, Ocarina of Time, and even some Pokemon games have better soundtracks. And they're all also good games.

I used to listen to the FF8 soundtrack every morning in the car on my way to school. Great stuff.
Seriously, the startup play with the guitar and the piano is just so creepingly epic, I wish the entire song was like that.. :)
They are all at the top, dont waste your time debating which is first because Nobuo is a beast...

That solo in the end is INTENSE lol!
I didn't breathe through the solo ... I'm so amazed lol!
The black mages are awesome :K.
why wont this album come out on itunes yet
Damn... this is some badass music! :D
i dont know why, but the rock version reminds me a little to dream theater, i love this song
This music is secretly fkn awesome
Good point. I never realized that!
I didn't know Vincent's theme had a name!

@Stellarcirclefive Not to mention possibly the best basic battle theme of the whole series.
God i love it! TH-cam to mp3 NOW!
BLACK MAGES FTW!
@kamfrass I think its some armor and esp for me it appears to be some dragon part
@LiBRa473 Yeah, the original song was awesome. Probably the coolest final fantasy final boss battle ever because of the music!
@zombiescarecrow I know! This is probably my favorite end boss theme from all the final fantasy's!
@dragames Guess people's ears were burst by the awesomeness of the FF8 boss theme and didn't get to hear it... Tragic.
@command76 You sir, are the coolest person EVER
I agree with you
@zombiescarecrow Don't forget The Legendary Beast. FF VIII and IX have been Uematsu's musical absolute masterpieces anyways :)
@Hynria naaaa... wait what was I "naaaing" again?
It sounds like vincen't theme in the begining, but now that I compare the two, there is a slight difference in the pitch, but the two are very similar, compare them for yourself and see.
@dragames Whoever says that is on crack. In my opinion The Extreme is the best piece of music Nobuo Uematsu has ever composed!
Long live Nobuo Uematsu!!
@Hynria *gasp* you had a "yaaa" and "naaa" with someone els! And in the same comment section! How could you! I thought we had something special!
@Hynria yaaaa
*tingly*
@SilverSora790 As the whole game is ;P
@KamikazeCactus099 I like the song a lot too... but that is a bit wierd lol
@Hynria & Conscript626
Maybe......I'm a Lion
@Xarscum fair enough
@Hynria yaaaaa
@KamikazeCactus099 No, not the ULTIMATE, it's the EXTREME :P

The Black Mages= and i JIZZED in mah pants!
Ultimecia's Final Form!
@mooofalooof that's not my words as I find 8's to be the best. 7 had some highly memorable ones but 7 also had tons of annoying/passable songs whereas 8's were always good/great or not annoying.
Darkness And Starlight Is the best album imho
@Hynria something about ultimecia being better than kefka and sephiroth... please continue
how did u upload it?
Better than Dancing Mad and One-Winged Angel: The Extreme.
Better than Kefka and Sephiroth: The Sorceress Ultimecia.
Im shocked o.o seriously... i grew up with these masterpieces and every time I hear them I find another detail that adds epicness to these songs...

vincents theme and the extreme share a similar sound.
@dragames people say ff8's soundtrack was the worst in the series... are you fucking kidding me? FF8's is possibly the best, it is DEFINATELY up there.
This art of Squall is kinda like Kuja...mmmm
@SolWannabe Getsuga Tenshouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

@escortingmen naaaa
@GamingIdiot42Neo Change eet.
She didn't have a face.... but man what a sweet sweet Rack!
ya know, everyone says ff8's soundtrack was the worst in the series... Yet this song I think proves otherwise :/
One dislike. Someone wants to stand out.
great rendition, but..what the FUCK is up with dudes hand on the album cover? looks like he has the leg of a deer for an arm.
@Hynria naaaa
It is creepy .. yup
@NibelAlex naaa

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK >_< INCLUDE THIS IN DISSIDIA 012
FF8 was a terrible game in my opinion, but I won't lie, the soundtrack was amazing, it was probably the games saving grace.
meh everyone is entitled to their opinions, so.. meh..
that is a creepy ass cover.....
who the fuck is everyone?! I've never heard, in my life, that ff8's soundtrack was less than good... thats a horrible lie, why would u say that o.o
Not Bad ... but the junction system ..... MAN it Was BORING AS HELL.. pretty much that is why I actually never finished it.
FF8s soundtrack was alright, but Chrono Trigger, Earthbounder, Mario 1 and 3, Ocarina of Time, and even some Pokemon games have better soundtracks.
And they're all also good games.
@Hynria naaaa
@Hynria naaaa
