Final Fantasy VIII review

I think this is by far one of the strongest soundtracks for a Final Fantasy game to date. In my honest opinion, it all starts going downhill from here (Apologies to all of you FFIX fans!).

What I really appreciate is how epic the soundtrack gets towards the end of the game. Throughout the discs you continuously assault the Sorceress who is accompanied by various sorceress themes. The sorceress fights are highlights of the game for me because of the music which goes with them.

Disc four is full of quality tracks, but overall, here are some of my picks from the game:

* Find your way
* Blue Fields
* The Landing
* Succession of Witches
* The Stage is Set
* Premonition
* Compression of Time
* The Oath
* Maybe I'm a lion
* The Extreme


I better stop there before I list the whole soundtrack. Anything with the sorceress beats in the background is an instant hit for me. The only part of the game that I bore quickly of is Timber, but that's probably only because the music in that area of the game is pretty dull.

Overall, this is probably my favourite soundtrack from a final fantasy game. Its pretty superb and it pips the FFVII soundtrack mainly because the quality of the instruments sounds superior than the midi classics of its predecessor.
