I just want to take a moment to express how great I think the FFXIII soundtrack is

Thank you for making this. I know people love to shit on this game but it's made me emotional so many times, much in part to the absolutely sublime OST. I just listened to The Gapra Whitewood again because of this thread and instantly got a lump in my throat.

^ The second song I posted... these fucking feeeeeeels man. There's something about this game that just gets me every single time.

Edit: Honestly, I think it's the piano that makes it so distinct. The OST has such a unique sound, I've never heard anything like it.
 
I thought Final Fantasy XV had much better battle themes than XIII across the board. The Fight Is On, Up For The Challenge, Invidia, Omnis Lacrima, Hydrean's Wrath, Ravus Aeterna, Magna Insomnia, and especially Hellfire are among my favorites in the series, let alone between XIII and XV. I do really enjoy the soundtracks in the XIII trilogy though.
