That would be cool. Off the top of my head, I think Secret Practice, Theme of the Empire, the Cerobbi Steppe, Kiss me Good bye, Clan Headquarters, and Boss Battle would sound nice for part of a PC.

I only found one track really appealing in the whole game actually and it was Ozmone Plains. I do think it would make a brilliant Piano solo, though.

I'd like to see Kiss Me Good Bye and Rabanastre. There were a bunch of others i liked, but I don't play FF12 enough (or as much as I would like to) to remember where the tunes are.


Where are you? Here. What time is it? Now. What are you? This moment.

Many people say that the FF XII Soundtrack wasn't liked as much as the other Final Fantasy OST's because it did not have many rememorable tunes or catchy melodies.

But I have the original soundtrack and listening to it over and over again, I can understand the pieces a little better. I think Sakimoto did a great job of creating a feel and a good mood of the game through the music. Although it is really different from the other final fantasy series in my taste, I still enjoy the soundtrack overall. It's hard to recognize the tunes without having the (OST).

The soundtrack is indeed quite different. It relies much more on a full orchestra, and Sakimoto's unique style of composition, where as Nobuo's soundtracks relied alot more on smaller ensembles and electronic instruments (in the later titles, anyway, specifically Final Fantasy X).


Blobbery.

all of those pieces you just mentioned have been arranged for piano solo by Asako Niwa, though Theme of the Empire hasn't.

I've identified them all on the sheet book. I Found the mp3 here: http://www.lastfm.com.br/music/Vario...II+-+Piano+OST

(If I'm not supposed to post that, please tell me).

Ozmone Plains - One of the only tracks I liked in the game, unfortunately. I think it's a brilliant song though!

Actually, come to think of it I quite liked A Moment's Rest as well. That might be a good Piano Collections piece.

If they did release the album though I would think that Near the Water would almost certainly be included.

I was amazed by the soundtrack even while I was playing... Boss Battle, Dalmasca Estersand, Giza Plains, Ozmone Plain, A Moment's Rest, Near the Water and Phon Coast among many more blew me away while playing. Life is so much better when there's epic music playing in the background while training on the Phon Coast. Brilliant game :'). I had almost lost faith in the Final Fantasy name after playing FF10 but 12 renewed it fully.

Sakimoto's work in Vagrant Story was soooo captivating aswell. Musicians like him really changed my life.

Now that the KH Piano Collections have been released, I hope they will release a Piano Collection for Final Fantasy XII.

I would like to see in the PC..

Penelo's Theme
Kiss Me Goodbye
The Royal City of Rabanastre / City Ward Upper Stratum
Naivety
Clan Headquarters
The Forgotten Capital
The Skycity of Bhujerba
Eruyt Village
Symphonic Poem 'Hope'
A Moment's Rest

These are my favourite songs from the OST. I think they would produce a balanced enough album. It would be so cool if they did these ones.

In addition to the above, I'd really like to hear Phon Coast and Ending Movie.
