Yes. It's a great soundtrack because it's fun and something way different then what FF normally does. It's different then what most games do actually. It's pretty awesome.

Mog going on a rant about how he's not a toy (in Bresha or Academia I think) was hilarious.

I liked it when he/she
starts dreaming about money from the government if ever they complete their task... Only to get a 10-year supply of toilet paper and starts sulking at a corner.
I don't know. I appreciate many left field soundtracks like Katamari but I guess I just expect something a bit more cohesive and subtle in a game that is narrative driven.

Well, no it it isn't that. I also don't care that it isn't. It's not like the actual narrative has any point to it.

Yeah, I'm pretty glad it has such a wide variety of genres like this. It's rare that FF does something this different with the music and I think it's worked out well. Probably my favorite in the series behind XIII.

Co-signed. I've been playing FF for 20 years, and I think this soundtrack is wonderful.. One of the best in the series.

Last boss fight is a little pain in the ***, both characters are level 39 in all the jobs... is that low?
Well I suppose if you look at it like that...a game that you are really only playing for mechanics, sure the soundtrack is serviceable. I just don't think any of these songs are good enough to stand on their own and be played outside of the game. Not that I'd do that with any other game soundtrack but you play something like Deus Ex or Halo where the score is an obvious mood/atmosphere setter that reacts to what is on screen and I just wonder whether something like that would be possible in a game like this.

I dont think im the only one here who has been listening to the tracks on my phone nonstop...
Music is subjective dude. It's like taste in the opposite sex, or taste in food. Arguing over it doesn't go that far.

Considering I own both the Japanese and English soundtrack releases, I'd certainly say that they are.
Yes... I had both characters with 3 roles at 99 by this point.

No I would listen to these tracks outside of the game. It's Halo and Deus Ex that I wouldn't, because the only have meaning when playing the game. Take them out of the game and they are just boring and not something I would enjoy listening to on a car ride.

What does "Kupo" mean and why does Mog always say it?!
You know I do agree that arguing over music usually doesn't go very far, but I'm entitled to an opinion.

Yeah I thought that was a curious example to make. Vocal pop, rap and metal songs = you wouldn't listen to them outside of the game, but orchestral film score style = you would listen to them outside of the game? Dont agree with that...
It's like film score music to me. Just evocative ambient music. When Halo gets into the dramatic butt rock stuff I start snickering.
No I would listen to pop songs outside of the game, assuming they were good. You would listen to this over Sigur Ros? You think the instrumentals here are better than Hauschka?
Mogs have been saying Kupo ever since...
...Moogles have been saying Kupo since long before that.
You are not, for sure. It's been my most played album since it came out, I love it to death.

You know the background song that plays at Yaschas Masiff? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IURKLkJrAI
Some parts of the song sound vaguely familiar to the Crystal Theme.

I haven't heard that song yet. That sounds great to me. I suppose I just dislike the vocals and attempts at genre music.

They've been saying Kupo ever since Secret of Mana and FFVI in English... I bet they said クポ in FFIII as well..

Don't see why it has to be one way or the other? Can I not watch Shoot Em Up if I want to watch The Godfather?
No I don't know those musicians you listed, so yes I would listen to this over them. Because I like game music and I like this soundtrack,
No, they say "nyaa" in FF3 on Famicom.

The worst song for me is probably the one that plays during the Historia Crux menu.

When did the moogles start saying Kupo?

^ I love that track but the Time and Space part is bombastic
Lol, interesting. Did Kupo start in Seiken Densetsu then?? Now we must know!

In Japanese games, FF5 was the first to have "kupo."

Different does not equal great. The soundtrack is ok, too much singing bullshit. Persona 4 style ruined this soundtrack.
I'm assuming you heard Crazy Chocobo? That's not a track that's meant to be taken completely seriously. From what I've understood, it's kind of a joke in the game too.

I stopped moving around that part of the game because I loved this song so much. I thought/think it is fantastic
People have been finishing the story anywhere from 20 - 40 hours. With postgame content going up to 60-70 hours.

Super-late, and sorry... I went to sleep early since my right eye was really really killing me... Go with the bonus first for Noel, and then go to Syn and Sab (though for Serah, I'd recommend unlocking Sab first, and then going for the Rav bonus).
Encounter rate is annoyingly high and you can't evade the encounters at all due to the Mog Clock running faster. Stupid. Good place to grind, but the place is just annoying in that Rav works more than Com's Blitz more in certain areas where the enemies evade Phys attacks. I should've used Serah as the leader there, but I just like controlling Noel a lot better since I can cancel his quick attacks anytime and use other attacks quicker.
Yes. Absolutely. You do know about the Clock Stopper shortcut Cheska and I found a few pages ago, yeah?
I have to. I have two exams and an essay due on Monday, and another exam on Tuesday. Likely not going to finish this off with the plat until during our Reading Week.
God, no. Mieu is the worst Tales mascot next to Mormo, and Japanese Mieu is even worse (I don't know what's worse; DESU NO or MIEU MIEU). Tenebrae, Tipo, and Repede are the best ones out there, though.
Mieu, Mormo, and Mog are probably the worst mascots I've encountered lately.

Hence I also had the word fun in there.
And yes I like the sininging. Those are the best songs. I also liked Persona 4's soundtrack a great deal. I always wanted Persona 3/4 music in FF.

I'm not sure if someone has posted this yet but I was running around in
and decided to stop and throw Mog over the railings, so I did then watched him for a little bit before I decided to run off and about 10 seconds later I got a message over my screen
"Item acquired
You obtain 1 gil!"
I went back and tested it a couple times and it seems to work everytime. I thought it was a pretty cool easter egg. lol
EDIT: Also, after a couple more throws I've seemed to score some potions
EDIT 2: Actually I've come to the conclusion that I'm stupid and it's because I've got the
turned on. I completely forgot about those!
