Cool, right ahead of you.

I went ahead and turned the entire OST into a playlist. I also have the full OST for Xenogears on there -- but since it's a disappointingly-truncated 43 songs (seriously, it's missing like 30% of the songs augh) I added the arranged Celtic album Mitsuda did and some good ocremix tracks too.

I'm waiting on those rankings, ratings, and writeups.

Final Fantasy VIII Original Soundtrack is a soundtrack of the music from Final Fantasy VIII; composed and produced by Nobuo Uematsu. The soundtrack spans four discs and 74 tracks, covering a duration of 4 hours and 9 minutes. It was first published by DigiCube on March 10, 1999 with the catalog number SSCX-10028, and subsequently published by Square Enix on May 10, 2004 with the catalog numbers SQEX-10005~8. Unlike most other Final Fantasy soundtracks, Final Fantasy VIII Original Soundtrack is composed completely of English track names. The album was also released in North America under the title Final Fantasy VIII Music Collection: Music From The Final Fantasy VIII Video Game. It features changes such as packaging design, translation, and additional images. In addition, a limited edition was produced, which has a beige background instead of a full motion video montage.

The soundtrack reached #4 on the Japan Oricon charts. It received generally positive reviews from critics; New Zealand PlayStation magazine claimed Final Fantasy VIII has "one of the most memorable scores you will ever hear". Reviewers from multimedia news website IGN stated that much of the game's impact is owed to its "terrific" musical score, but were disappointed by "yet another" variation of the traditional battle theme.IGN later named the Final Fantasy VIII soundtrack as fourth best in its Final Fantasy Soundtrack Countdown feature. GameSpot considered the game's sound its weakest point, but still commended it, claiming it has "more 'quality' songs than Final Fantasy VII". Lastly, Game Revolution stated that "there are only a few tracks that really stand out", including "Eyes on Me", which it deemed a "cliched, but beautiful love song".

Final Fantasy VIII Original Soundtrack has sold "more than 300,000 copies" in Japan according to Square, or 259,000 physical copies according to the independent chart company Oricon. Adam Corn of SoundtrackCentral.com claimed the album shows similarities to previous Final Fantasy games, but asserted he was "not overly impressed with this one". A reviewer from Square Enix Music Online claimed the soundtrack is "unique and very special" due to its contrasts—"When signs of age of the Final Fantasy franchise are shown", Uematsu counterbalances this by creating something "weird and wonderful[...] when the soundtrack becomes too serious, a light-hearted number is inserted to liven up the mood". Ben Schweitzer of RPGFan said in his review of the album that "the main flavor of Uematsu's compositions, his melodic style, remains consistent, and more importantly, consistently good". He criticized, however, the more minimalist pieces, which in his opinion were bland.

Overall: 5/5 Moogles

Are you thinking I haven't read everything there is to read about FFVIII on Wikipedia?

Because you're wrong!

Oh, was my write-up eerily similar? How bizarre. I guess I have the taste of the masses in mind.

The Oath

it's really good and like you feel really good when you listen to it like BAM BAM but not really BAM BAM more like BUM-BUM or BRUMP BRUMP like you feel really triumphant and like you are the great but the miracle never happen even though Squall wants to because Rinoa and everyone so happy but the miracle never happen anyway it's very stoic.

5/5

Force Your Way

a very good song if you are to talk about like musically but there is a big glaring flaw with this song is that it advocates rape which I do not believe in if you think about it force your way sounds like something an evil rapist would say because he is bad bad man I don't appreciate that I think Nobuo Uematsu should not have gone that particular route however musically it is still very good you really feel like you are fighting bad men maybe Nobuo Uematsu thought you would want to fight rapists I guess so I forgive him MOSTLY.

4/5

Well that's all for now. Writing these snippets is pretty intense, I'm not gonna lie.
