The title is pretty self explanitory here. Which game series seems to have the better music?

 

I'm going to have to go with Zelda here. While Final Fantasy has a good many songs that I love, the music in Zelda always seems to embelish the game as a whole. It always sets the right atmosphere and tone, accenting the feeling of the dungeon or world you find yourself in. It just always seem to increase the overall experience of the game.

Zelda by far. Final Fantasy music is starting to get weak with each new game.

ZELDA MUSIC IS THE SHET

That's a tough one.

It might be biased, but for me, it's Zelda

I've been playing it for a loooooong time, k

Whenever I hear Zelda music, I literally get shivers

 

But then again Koji Kondo (the composer of MOST Zelda music) DID compose "Dancing Mad," (Kefka's original boss theme) perhaps one of the greatest video game tracks of all time...

 

So uh

Maybe they're equal

I have to go with Zelda too, it has always been consistent and of great quality. Final Fantasy is still good but not as great as it used to be.

You dont go against Yoko.

zelda

You dont go against Yoko.

 

Yoko never did a Final Fantasy. She's DOING Versus, but that'snot out yet.

 

For me... Final Fantasy showed me how bland Zelda music is. I'd take Final Fantasy VI's Decisive Battle over any Zelda Boss theme

I mean, they both have great music... but Final Fantasy is on an entirely different level.

I love Zelda, but I'm going to have to go with FF here. The music is just so amazing.

Uh, sorry. Final Fantasy. Theme of Love, Terra's theme, Battle at the Big Bridge. Even if you hate where Final Fantasy is going, you have to admit the music is perfect.

hmm even though i love Zelda's music, But it still doesn't give me that nostalgic feeling like final fantasy

sorry for telling this to the zelda lovers but i have to take this out of my chest.... FF MUSIC IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!! JUST LISTEN TO BLINDED BY LIGHT, SABERS EDGE, AND NASCENT REQUIEM.!!!!!!! http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.png

Zelda is awesome and all, but I love Final Fantasy music tracks more. They build up a lot of tension and the music makes the battles intense! I love the thrilling music tracks that Final Fantasy has! And here is an example of said epic music:

i thinks zeldas was a little better.

For me, it's Final Fantasy. But that could be because I have a more emotional connection to the games and that helps me notice the beautiful music more. With Zelda, it's rare that the music becomes anything but background noise. Fitting background noise, but still, I don't often listen to a Zelda song outside the game unless it's this one:

 

tutti frutti. Legend of Zelda all the way. The music seems to be able to fit the situation without fail.

Final Fantsy all the way! Than Kingdom Hearts. Than Super Mario World.

I honestly like both pretty equally.

 

Final fantasy is really good with those complex themes that give depth to what they represent. It's music can paint a picture for you, give you color and emotion with the sounds. It's music is very literal in what it is trying to tell you, and is very beautiful to listen to.

 

Music from The Legend of Zelda is a little more simple, but not any less striking in its straightforward feel. Its music is also very fun in an interactive sort of way. I love how a lot of it will go along with what you are doing, with sound effects that match the background tune. The marketplace theme in the new Skyward Sword is an excellent example of this, and amused me to no end. Most of all, Zelda has always struck me as a very musical video game. It is an important part of the actual plot in most of the games, so it really attaches itself to moments in that timeless sort of way.

Final Fantasy.

FF all the way.

Final Fantasy. That is all.

Final Fantasy.

Zelda. 'nuff said.

Yeesh, hard question; this is like asking whether I like my chocolate chips big or small in my vanilla ice cream!

 

Overall, I'd have to say Nobuo Uematsu's Final Fantasy soundtracks are a tad better than Zelda, but only Uematsu's!

FF has more variety.

 

FF XIII and XIII-2 alone encompass almost every genre there is.
