FF9 OST Disc 4
Grom's review : As with all FF games, the Airhip theme rocks, and FF9 is no exception. This is a great Airship theme, though I prefer the FF7 and FF8 airship tracks, this one is still damn awesome. Excellently written with a good use of a variety of instruments. 8/10
Grom's review : To be bluntly honest, this track bores me. Its nothing special in the slightest. 3/10
Grom's review : Right ... I cant think of two other instruments that sounds as un-harmonious as these two. A high pitched wind instrument, and some very low pitched 'monk-like' vocals. If these were played seperatly, the track would be SOO much better, but as it stands, their combination just ruins this track completely (in my opinion). 1/10
Grom's review : Like Ipsen's Castle, this is a remix of 'The Place I'll Return To Someday', sadly, its not a very good one either. 2/10
Grom's review : A very well composed track, which could have easily doubled up as a regular 'tension theme'. 7/10
Grom's review : Once again, keeping up with the references to former FF games, this track plays when you are exploring the world of Terra (also the default name of the main heroine from FF6). A very relaxing theme, and also quite sad at the same time, it kind of reflects the silent, slowly recovering world that has only just survived the brink of destruction. 9/10
Grom's review : Plays when you wander around a village inhabited by Zidane's 'tribe', a sad theme, which reflects the genomes daily lives pretty well. Brilliantly composed, and a pleasure to listen to. 8/10
Grom's review : Superb track. The first 27 seconds are pratically identical to 'Keeper of Time' from disc 3 except its slightly sped up. This track really hits the 'evil' spot, and i'm a sucker for Church organs ;). 9/10
Grom's review : Plays when Zidane accepts his fate, and what he was designed for. One by one he turns his back on his friends, only Garnet can talk him around. This is my favourite track on the entire OST. A perfect composition, expertly written, and awesome instruments - Nobuo Uematsu at his best, a clear masterpiece and a top 5 best FF track of all time (in my opinion). 10/10
Grom's review : Another superb track. Plays when the Genomes are given the chance to live a life of their own on the world of Gaia in the Black Mage Village. A very sad theme, brilliantly written. 9/10
Grom's review : All I can say is ... "You replaced the Airship theme with THIS ?!?!" A horrid track, the percussion really doesnt fit the song, and .... yuk. 2/10
Grom's review : A track that plays during an FMV, in game sequences, and eventally a battle. Not much to write about though, Im not too keen on this track at all. 2/10
Grom's review : The first part of the final dungeon. Compared to most final dungeon themes, this one is nothing special (unlike FFMQ ;) ). 5/10
Grom's review : The second part of the final dungeon theme, somewhat better than the first, but still nothing major. Interesting 'reverse' effects used in the intro to this track. 6/10
Grom's review : Essentially, Kuja's battle theme. I think Nobuo over-did some aspects of this track, but its still a good track nonetheless, nicely composed. 6/10
Grom's review : The Final Battle theme with Necron (some guy who shows up and has nothing to do with the game in the slightest ..). Firstly, I hate the intro to this song, its far too repetitive, and lame, get it over with already. Once the actual music starts, it gets much better. 6/10
Grom's review : A sad theme .. a very sad theme. Brilliantly written, this track perfectly fits the atmosphere. 7/10
Grom's review : A short piece, very boring. Yuk. 2/10
Grom's review : Not much different from the previous track, it merely extends it a little and adds more on the end. You cant improve an already awful song. 2/10
Grom's review : A very peacful piece of music, good use of instruments, with a slight sad hint to it. Plays when Zidane reveals his identity on everyone on stage, including Garnet. 7/10
Grom's review : Garnet, seeing Zidane alive and well, rushes out to meet him. Very nice track, especially when Garnet and Zidane embrace (time index 1:16). 8/10
Grom's review : End Credits Theme, with English vocals. The perfect end to a game, excellently planned, and very well composed. Nicely sung too ;). 9/10
Grom's review : The Final Fantasy Prelude theme, which has been in every single mainstream FF game (with the exception of FF8 - though the game-over theme is similar to it). This is my favourite version of the FF Prelude. 9/10
Grom's review : Why dont the rest of the world get kool adverts like they do in Japan. This music accompanies a TV ad aired on Japanese TV which features Zidane, Garnet, Vivi and Steiner chasing after a Coca Cola Bottle cap (FMV style). 5/10
Grom's review : A longer version of the previous track, for a longer TV AD. 6/10
Grom's review : An excellent version of Melodies of Life, which is distinctively more sad than the original. Personally, I dont recall this track playing during the game, and ive heard a few rumours about it originally being made for an alternate 'bad' ending, but theyre just rumours. A great remix. 9/10
Grom's average score : 6.04/10
