Hello there anons!

My name is Nobuo Eumatsu! I created the soundtrack for Final Fantasy VIII. Kneel.

Good choice
I always thought that was his peak.

13 was also good, but meant 8.

He peaked during the PS1 era.
In fact FF peaked during the PS1 era.
Actually Square peaked during the PS1 era.
The entire videogame industry peaked during the PS1 era.
Human civilization as a whole peaked during the PS1 era, the mid-to-late 90s.

In fact FF peaked during the PS1 era

I can agree with this. X started the downward trend for me, despite it being overall a good game

For me IX's OST had many bad tracks and was a sign that Uematsu was being overworked with such a tight deadline to meet, especially coming right off the heels of VIII's soundtrack. It was good to get some fresh blood with the series and whoever at Square made the decision to bring in Hamauzu and Nakano made a good one.

This has to be the absolute most zoomer take when it comes to square enix.
Soken isn’t a bad composer by any means but ALL the songs he is known for are his bad songs.
Tell me how the fuck the phase 2 song for shiva is better than the phase 1 one, the same goes for Alexander. How are leviathan or titans themes good in any way and not zoomer trash on the level of dubstep they are literally just fucking noise

8 was his best, by a lot
7 was below average though

8 > 7 > 11 > 6 > 9
this is the correct order

8 was definitely his best as a whole soundtrack.

As for individual songs though, Dancing Mad from 6 was his magnum opus.

I liked it the least when it came out but over time it's become my favorite

I think people mostly disliked it because it was so stylistically different from the Nomura/Kitase influenced style that had dominated the series since 7.

XII felt more like a WRPG in some ways, which gave it a unique vibe.

8 had the worst soundtrack out of any ff

get the fuck out of my thread

nobody asked

what's your favorite track?

this man knows

What was the best song he ever composed?

I won't say best, but my favorite is

The way it builds is so good
Based, favorite XIV track

Eumatsu! What are you doing spreading these lies???

basado

7 was below average though

retardo

I love gambits and ivalice

didn't know he worked on 14

He did on 1.0, which is where that track came from

God, I love FF8 so much. I readily admit that 7 has its advantages over 8 and I know 6, 9, and 10 all have their passionate fans but 8 is home for me. I have a few of the toys (Odin, Ifrit, Bahamut) and even a metal replica of Squall's necklace. It was heavy and every time I bumped against my chest, it hurt.

that's sick. I remember I had squall and seifer when I was a kid.

I have the 6" figures that Bandai produced for each of the characters except for Edea. That one came in a boxed set with other characters that I could never track down at the time.

I wanted to get the Omega Weapon or Ultima Weapon toy but that shit was always sold out and when I found it in stock finally, it was like $80. Too rich for my blood.
