Nobuo Uematsu - Final Fantasy VII


This is it. It ain't my favourite entry in the series, but the internets gave me reason to believe it sure is everyone else's. I do have to admit that it comes to a second place, but my FF numero uno is still to come.
Musically, this is solid. For me, this is what set the standards on every Final fantasy soundtrack, even the ones from previously released games, just because this one is the first one to truly feel like it is complete. Nothing that Nobuo Uematsu could have composed extra would have fit in, every published track on these discs has its own purpose, its own addition to the whole of the soundtrack, the whole of the game, the story is told completely, so there could be no extra things to tell us.
If you haven't downloaded any of the other soundtracks, I do recommend you to download this one.
