It borders on almost *too* sappy, but it's very well done nonetheless. In fact, it's almost a direct copy, the only differences I notice were Hamauzu's fixing some of the weird-sounding voicings and the addition of a more emotional climax to the original. 'To Zanarkand' stays very true to the OST version. It's very well performed, quite technical, and very exciting, but it isn't quite the same. While it is a good song, the lack of orchestra completely changes the mood of the song into something that you would expect to be called 'Happy Dance of the Crazy People' or something like that. Essentially, if you took the piano part from the OST's version of the same song and beefed it up a bit, you have the FFX:PC version. It doesn't exactly have a sense of foreboding doom to it.
This song is a very fun, sort of quirky song to listen to. It departs greatly from the OST version, but is very good nonetheless.Īnd in stark contrast to that we have 'Final Battle'. Sort of like the music of 20th century French composer Claude Debussy, only louder.
It's very pretty, and more impressionistic than anything else. It's a sort of theme and variations track that changes moods all the time, generally being ambient/surreal. And yet, at 6:36, the song doesn't really get boring. The 30 second long hymn of Yevon has been arranged into a song that's just over 13 times as long as the original and sounds nothing like something religious. All except one of them: 'Song of Prayer'. All of the tracks are very well arranged and easily fit the mood to which the OST assigned them. And following in what appears to be tradition, out popped a Piano Collections album, this time arranged by the OST's own Hamauzu, a departure from most of the previous PC's arranger Shirou Hamaguchi. Masashi Hamauzu, Junya Nakano, and of course Nobuo Uematsu worked together to create a pretty good soundtrack. Being the first Final Fantasy (well, at the least of the numbered ones) soundtrack to be composed by more than one person, and the first FF on the PlayStation 2, the Final Fantasy X soundtrack was unique in a number of ways.
