What's your favorite FFXI world-area song (music)? - Final Fantasy XI :: Dreams in Vana'diel :: Community

Ok, there have been many excellant final fantasy scores all throughout Vana'diel. My question to you would be: So far, what is your favorite song, thus far?

Mine would be Oldton Movopolis. It has a really cool mine-feel to it. It's nice relaxing music to listen to while I'm mining down there. :D

Are you sure? I was just assuming he was the composer for 11, mainly because he's done the previous games.

Nope, he composed some of the music for 11. I checked on gamefaqs and his personal site.

Most of the tracks in XI are not by him.

Windurst and Sarutabaruta make me all nostalgic

Uematsu has left SE as an employee. He works independently now, though SE does hire him for some projects (FF:AC for instance). I though the sound tracks for FFXI were done by the Tactics people. Not that that's a bad thing.

Ok, in that case, lemme change the original post.

Taskmage · 06-20-2006, 10:31 PM

He did the opening theme, ronfaure, prelude, the airship music, recollection, anxiety, hopelessness, sorrow, "sometime, somewhere", despair, and repression. So 11 of the 51 tracks. The rest are by Kumi Tanioka or Naoshi Mizuta. That's according to the ID3 tags on these original soundtrack mp3s I'm looking at.

It's a shame he couldn't do all of them. Ronfaure and the airship songs are excellant pieces of music, IMO. He's a great composer.

Area's music I like best as is: Aydeewa Subterrane; although I think that's partially the fact that the first time we heard that song, they announced Puppetmaster. Although it was kind of a let-down, the pure energy in the room when they showed that was amazing.

Area i'd most like to see music for: Riverne.

Taskmage · 06-21-2006, 12:13 AM

I like the music an Aydeewa, but it's so laid back. When I was partying there with my rdm, my party decided to fight this Qiqirn, and the battle was crazy. Bombs going everywhere, people running all over the room trying to corner the little bastard. But I, not engaged, was hearing that peaceful music that was so wrong for what was going on and it really threw off my rhythm.

My favourite zone - Hall of the Gods. The music just chills me out everytime.
