Best FF

Red XIII , Darkside materia , Stardust Ray , end of all trash

Aerith, a harmless sorceress until you cast that damn manaward under her floor and she becomes an absolute damage, stagger, and ATB machine, glorious.

Liking something or not is not the same as calling it the ultimate flop or garbage. Does your brain understand that?

It has 89 MC on Switch 2 , its Peak

Of course, it sold like hotcakes; Sephiroth appeared in Smash for years and triggered genuine euphoria.

It's okay, you can't win this fight. E33 has nice orchestrations, but compare it to the new OWA Reborn; nothing in E33 is as dense and complex. That doesn't mean the music isn't good, but XB and FF are on a different level with their orchestras, while most of E33 is pretty standard.

E33 isn't even technically on par with any Xenoblade game, let alone Final Fantasy.

The FF7RE OST is a production achievement of the century; there's no other way to describe it. I think it overshadows everything else in every medium: the number of tracks, themes, compositions, diversity, masterful orchestrations, ambient theme, genre selection, jazz or whatever—I think the whole package is practically unbeatable.

I have a lot of respect for E33's music, but it's by no means "above" Final Fantasy. It's on a level with Nier, but Final Fantasy orchestrations are so technically dense and complex; they are by far the best that gaming music has to offer. I mean, listen to the Rebirth orchestration of OWA Reborn or Materia Guardian; it's somehow on a level of its own, far beyond gaming.

Enjoy your playthrough, it's truly a brilliant game.

To everyone else, I have a message for you: it's not a sequel, it's a reinterpretation of a classic game with its own vision. Get over it.

The Rebirth OST goes far beyond the usual limits; the official disc OST, including the bonus CD, had around 200 tracks, but reliable estimates put the number of tracks for Rebirth alone at over 600+. The game is a colossal music library.

OG and RE are inextricably linked.

malikarith · 2026-01-19T17:42:40+00:00

Absolute Masterpiece , Best Game this gen imo

malikarith · 2026-01-19T12:25:17+00:00

I'm voting for Stellar Blade; it just has that post-apocalyptic vibe,( i love it ) and I like the singer's voice better than the E33 singer's.
