7, 10, and 13 all have the best music in a game ever. And it’s a split tie. These games shaped my child hood greatly and the nostalgia is overwhelming when I hear this music
FF XIII was where my Final Fantasy adventure began, and I have to say, they gave such a fitting ending to the series with Lightning Returns and we were accompanied with this amazing soundtrack through all 3 games. People by bash XIII for being linear and disliking it's gameplay style, but it'll always be one of my favourite Final Fantasy games I've ever played!
Its was also my first journey into a Final Fantasy game. My uncles would always play it and i i was hooked from the beginning! XIII was wonderfully made and the story is intriguing. I instantly fell in love with everything and it gave me feels. And it also influences my art style as well! Its indeed a Golden game that is unfairly under rated for change sadly.
The game definitely had its flaws with gameplay, in the fact it was VERY linear until the end of the story, in which pretty much you were only 50% done with the game and had this huge open world now to explore with 0 direction aside from the achievements. That being said it was still wonderfully done with both the story and artwork. There is no reason to bash the game completely over something that doesn't really take away from the overall story and experience of the game. VII, IX, and X are my top 3. XIII Definitely sits at a solid 4 only because my childhood is also connected to those 3 games lol.
this will never stop to be one of the most well done masterpiece in the franchise... the music, the ambient, the spells, the story, the emotions the emotions the feelings.... the lecture of the will to defy ones own fate... you're bad in something but you have to deal with it if you want something? well thats too bad THEN DEFY YOUR OWN DESTINY, this was so badass when i entered to biochemistry in the school, even tho i almost never passed chemistry in the low school, i still decided to fight back and get into biochemistry, as a challenge and defy my own fate, because i love biology, but is not enough science without chemistry.... and i decided the hard way, took me a while and a lot of lifespawn, but i did it.
13 years....13 years of FF 13 has been a journey of a lifetime. The soundtracks are Masterpieces and whenever i feel the need of being HYPED for a big boss fight on FFXIV, i normal come back to this video. Thank you so much for this and it never grows old.
Ff13 was my starter ff and when I got it I wasn't sure on playing it I'm glad I did. Loved the whole series and story's including ff13 lighting returns' finish to it all. Personally my favorite ff game.music is also amazing and has a special place in my heart. Overall way ahead of its time.
Thank you for that mix, Im chilling out in my beanbag with my music boxes on max and I'm feeling sooo nostalgic, I'll always love that game and it's music. It's always something else 😍
Lightning. In gaming, she has become the most amazing character ever, only tied with Caius for Most Awesome Character Ever. Actually, scratch that. She even surpasses Caius!
Caius Ballad Well... Lightning Best Girl and Caius Best Antagonist. I even prefer him over Sephiroth, but that's only due to their personalities. Otherwise, both are awesome.
Lightning.... They may have gone a little heavy on the angst, but aside from that, she was one of the few good things to come out of a mediocre (by Final Fantasy Standards) series, along with the perfection that was Caius.
probably one of the most underrated series of all time.i really loved the tracks you decided to pick up......and awesome video. sorry for my bad English I'm Italian xD
***** World of Final Fantasy is coming out and it looks like Lightning is going to make an appearance. I'll be counting on you to upload her theme song :)
This video is ... amazing. You have done a wonderful job. I do not even know what to say, you left me speechless by listening to the finest music of this trilogy in a single video. I can only say thank you for giving me thirty minutes full of emotions. Sorry for my very bad english, i'm italian.
You know... I love Lightning. I really do. She's like... my favorite character in video game so far. And I think you did a great job with this mix. *Thumbs up with this. And also subscribes.*
+Akeno/Jibril She comes 2nd to zidane for me lol. my first and second favourite video game characters are final fantasies =p Lightning became my favourite in lightning returns, her character development was amazing. And that final smile. o_o
I am unfortunately not so familiar with the Final Fantasy series so I wouldn't be capable of comparing Zidane and Lightning. However, I can say for sure that Lightning in Lightning Returns was the best of the three. She had her moments of doubts in FFXIII, then you see her less in FFXIII-2, but which sort of prepares her for her motivation to fight once again in LR: FFXIII. Her character development goes from a strict and almost cold sister to an eternal warrior who fights for a deity in a realm where time doesn't exist only to become a half goddess who saves souls before becoming a full fledged goddess herself and finally meet her "end". Yep. She has a great character development.
It is hard to believe it has been three months since I first discovered your masterpiece. The music of the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy (and your masterful transitions) are so gripping that every time I listen feels as though it's the first.
@@mizuvocal4759 Hé si y'en a ! Quelle Trilogie fantastique ! J'ai 37 ans et j'étais un fan pur et dur des 7,8 et 10; mais les 13 c'est tout autre chose...
How has it taken me 8 years to hear this mix. This is incredible. I have a bit of a love and hate relationship with the XIII trilogy as a whole, but they absolutely smashed it with the soundtracks to all three. They have some of my all time favourite FF tracks, and you've provided a great compilation here. Thanks.
This makes me wonder if SE intended for the songs between the 3 games to flow so seamlessly together I mean. Forever fugitives into To Hunt L'Cie is beautiful. Prologue into The Warpath Home as well. What am I forgetting? Oh, right, 5:42. That. i mean, it gives me goosebumps how well the link is. Great job, man!
Would like a Serah's Theme/The Promise/ Fabula Nova Chrystallis Mix... I think it is one of the most poignant themes of the final fantasy series and it appears in so many arrangments throughtout the FFXIII OST
Dude, thank you. While not the best FF game out there, imo, the experience of this game is truly one of my most cherished moments in gaming and was one of the last times I ever really felt magic from gaming. And you just caused me to relive all of that. Hard to believe this is almost 10 years old. Thanks for the nostalgia trip. The transition and mixing of this is so spot on. You should be working in audio production.
Severely underrated series. Fantastic Music, Fantastic Story, granted the combat could have used a bit more polish and I wish they had actually delivered on the reactive-combat in 13-2 that they had for like, all of two bosses.
Amazing, I'm only on the second piece but I already know im in for a real treat. I finished the final part (lightning returns) early this year and the final scene was perfect for me. And the end of two was heartbreaking and unfair. So I played FFXIII 2 until I had 100 percent completion so I could access the true secret ending and guess what! It still was not right. Very good ending but still not right. And when I finished FFXIII I was straight up annoyed. But thats a whole different story. Anyway, the music rules. One of the best. Serahs theme - memory? (I think) is my favourite but they are all wonderful. Even the chocobo song. Yeah, I said it.
the first time I heard of FFXIII, I liked lightning because of her rose-colored hair (according to LRFFXIII), then I began playing the game and realized just how amazing her character is, it was a letdown when the series ended because I'll never get to see her again in future FF games (unless they did something like a crossover series like Dissidia (with better plot)
Lightning easily DESTROYS most FF protagonists as the most in-depth, compelling, badass character to ever grace the FF name. With the exception of MAYBE Clive(from FF16). Any other protag could barely hold a candle to those two when you compare the sheer depth of their respective stories/arcs.
What up been quite awhile. Was just looking around on RUclips and wanted to see if you were still around. Haven't been really in mood much last few days. Still hoping to see another ff mix from you sometime.
I passionately disliked the storylines of the XIII series but the characters were so well done ( I think which is why I disliked the story so much; I wanted better for them all ) and 13 produced some of my favorite FF music. Thank you for this awesome compilation!
My first foray into Final Fantasy was XIII. Lots of people disliked Lightning for being brusque and apparently having the personality of driftwood, but one of my most favoured character types are the cold, aloof, unemotional kinds. Because seeing their hearts soften as the game or story goes on is always a treat. Seeing her finally smile at the end of XIII, and later at the end of Lightning Returns, was so cool and gratifying. Not to mention the story was nowhere near bad. I really liked XIII's story best out of the trilogy. XIII-2 wasn't as good in my opinion, and Lightning Returns was slightly less impressive to me. Still, all in all, I don't regret dropping the money I did to get the trilogy for myself. Sure, having played FF7 Remake and FFXV, I can see where the "it's a hallway simulator" comments are coming from, but I stuck with the trilogy for the characters and the story. Lightning will always be my first and favourite Final Fantasy protagonist.
The "nostalgic fans" just focused on the negative points of the game and not seeing the incredible quality in therms of music and graphics that brought us. An example of what this fans did to this triology: So the sequel fixes the "errors" what the fans said and still got hate. The "nostalgic fans" criticized all the errors in FFXIII, so Square fixed them in FFXIII-2, but they found more errors and Square fixed them in LR:FFXIII and then I don't know if that game got hate xDDD. The point where I want to get to is that Square Enix could have continued with the Fable Nova Crystallis and put out a lot of more and better games because lately the only thing it receives are comments from people, basically the nostalgic ones, who have disliked the games from FFXIII minus FFXIV. I hate that people basically. By the way, I agree with you in all, I love Lightning in all ways.
@@juanpedrogarcialopez3586 Most people do not engage in online debates on which FF is the best or the worst. I don't. I could not care less who thinks what about the experience I had with a game. I like all Final Fantasy games equally. My mood dictates what number i want to play next and I played them all many times. They are all like great books I love coming back to over and over.
The music from FFXIII still stands out to me as one of the best I've ever heard in a video game, amazing!
I'm so happy to hear this opinion. It is how I have felt.
@@TriFireR I agree. I hated the FFXIII series personally but the music is definitely top-notch and some of the best in the series.
7, 10, and 13 all have the best music in a game ever. And it’s a split tie. These games shaped my child hood greatly and the nostalgia is overwhelming when I hear this music

don`t hear to the others. FFX was LInear too but everyone loves X. My most beloved Final FAntasy will always be XIII.
@@shirokasute1520 Most FF games are linear they just give you the illusion of openness with the world map.
@@shirokasute1520 but 10 did better. You can be linear and still manage to make the player feeling invested in the story. It felt like a true journey.

It's 2023. This video is almost ten years old.
I was looking for the OST of FF13 and found this video. It's fantastic. Thank you so much.
I will never forget the story of Lightning and her friends. Thank you so much for this wonderful video, Elflyfreey!
No, I do too, lol :)
Even now Lightning is reviving my soul lol! Love you Lightning!!!!
I love you more.
So... Claire Farron loves Claire Farron?
Ff13 was my starter ff and when I got it I wasn't sure on playing it

Personally my favorite ff game.music is also amazing and has a special place in my heart.
Overall way ahead of its time.

Caius Ballad Well... Lightning Best Girl and Caius Best Antagonist. I even prefer him over Sephiroth, but that's only due to their personalities. Otherwise, both are awesome.

Lightning.... They may have gone a little heavy on the angst, but aside from that, she was one of the few good things to come out of a mediocre (by Final Fantasy Standards) series, along with the perfection that was Caius.
Caius Ballad I think Lightning is okay, i never like the main protagonist of things much anyway.
There was something so dreamlike about FFXIII ost, easily one of the best if not the best in the entire series
probably one of the most underrated series of all time.i really loved the tracks you decided to pick up......and awesome video. sorry for my bad English I'm Italian xD
Liang Cui, Shouldn't Lumina's theme be on here because Lumina is Lightning's soul, or part of it at least
Year 2023!!
still listening
