The game is contentious and even 15 years later I'm still pissed at it, but the soundtrack is truly great and very distinctly iconic to me. How would you even call this particular style of music that permeates the game?

You could write book on the troubled production of this game.

>>717932383 (OP)
The music was the best part of the game. Looked good, as well.
Too bad about the gameplay

>>717932383 (OP)
Is this joke? The soundtrack was the biggest dissapointment and I say this as someone who generally likes sakimoto's work

You could argue 13 has the best aesthetics in gaming. I think the fact that its very difficult to name media products that, well, look similar to it, just goes to show how unique it is.

It'd be a light read compared to Versus XIII/XV.

>>717934034
Holy fuck im blind, saw that as xii

Anyway, 13's ost is also meh but better than 12's

>>717934897
i do agree and think that hamauzu was better when working under uematsu

FF "fans" should pick a lane and stick to it.

Yeah

motific?

>>717932383 (OP)
Well the game had incredible dev hell and many things were cut. Wish we would get a real remake or reimagining. But I would be happy with a remaster

>>717933816
this, I've played this for a few chapters and don't remember a single track

>>717934443
it was all related, wasn't it? you'd really need a whole retrospective on se's hd era

why not? why did the in between suddenly vanish during the seventh console generation?

Why? Market became heavily oversaturated with open world games. Nothing wrong with a more focused, linear game. The problem with FF13 was it pushed that towards the extremes.

>>717932383 (OP)
I really liked how the Stranger of Paradise stage actually used part of Sunleth's theme.

maybe if they made a game like XII or X again people would notice less that they're constantly failing to find a balance for the exact same shit every time?

>>717946967
unrelated but what really gets me is
>have exclusivity on a dying console for upwards of 3 years before finally porting, get surprised when no one buys it and your franchise is now irrelevant

>>717932383 (OP)
>NO FF Prelude at opening menu
>NO FF Fanfare after battle
>No FF Theme in opening or credits or anywhere else in the game

Even Final Fantasy 12 which was super distinct from the rest of the series had these tunes. Why ignore it so hard?

>>717937015
People still dicksuck hgss, so no

Vanille

Why are japs still obsessed with consoles and have a burning hate of PC?

>>717947484
I actually really like XIII's prelude, its very underrated and still gets stuck in my head years later
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPEr1cArWRg

I'm still pissed "people" are willing to aggressively push Final Fantasy all over 4chan 24/7 regardless of the content of the threads just to try and keep it in the public conscious.

>>717932383 (OP)
Any given Uematsu ost is better

>>717932383 (OP)
Masashi Hamauzu has a very distinct style and I love it. Otherworldy, but still melodic and easy to like. Still love his original rendition of Besaid Island and a few his tracks in FF7 Remake.

I wish vs 13 happened

FF13 was the last Final Fantasy feeling game from them. Yeah the story was bad and the corridor gameplay sucked. But it truly felt like an FF game. FF15 didn't. FF16 was just edgy Game of Thrones.

Still waiting for XV dlc or XV-2.

>>717949743
That would have required for the team to have an actual vision for it. Nomura reportedly kept changing his mind about it constantly.
Would have been nice to get a more complete XV though. Many things from the rebrand reveal never even made it in.

>>717949837
It didn’t feel like an FF game at all. FF means a cast of memorable and likable characters whom you care about and good story. This had none if that.

>>717950440
Opinions. I think the cast was great.

>>717947493

>>717949837
I think people don't give the story enough credit. Its biggest problems are the lack of explaining itself, and sometimes they turn the melodrama just a bit too far, leaving some scenes a bit silly. But the worldbuilding is really unique, and it was a great subversion of classic FF without feeling like it hated the series (cough cough xvi). I also like how the cast weren't best buddies immediately, it made their character arcs a lot more satisfying because they were all such assholes in the beginning.

>>717932383 (OP)
I legitimately believe 13 has the best OST
Combine that with the trilogy of games and its best collection of FF music.
Its so fucking disappointing how shit 13 is but much I love its soundtrack

>>717932383 (OP)
Its a shame that Vanille is trapped in such a shit game
10/10 pit slut and she has a qt Aussie accent

>>717932383 (OP)
>How would you even call this particular style of music that permeates the game?
Progressive electronic (combines synth music with classical music). Though XIII's soundtrack is specifically choir based, and there's no specific widely used name for that. Mirror's Edge and Deus Ex Human Revolution have vaguely similar sounds

>people still trying to peddle the lie that XIII is better than XV or XVI

13 and 8 fans are almost universally the same exact same fanbase. Dogshit taste, dogshit games.

Everything Nomura has control over crumbles and turns to dust.

>>717953231
8 probably has my favorite ending cutscene in gaming
