[ForceStealer]

The Veldt, You're Not Alone, and Coin of Fate.

(It won't win of course, but I did always think that Elfe's Theme is surprisingly good.)

 

[Roger]

Aria de Mezzo Carattere and The Veldt were locks. You're Not Alone inched out Coin of Fate after much deliberation.

 

[CrashOuch]

Shinra (hooollyyyy shit one of my favourites!), You're Not Alone! (another massive favourite) and Vivi cos damn <3

 

[Kingdom Hearts530]

Okay so I went with Prelude (since because of the rhythm game I've basically memorized this song), You're Not Alone (because I can *still* hear the awesome version with lyrics in head), and Theme of Elfie (cuz I'm a compilation whore)

 

[Flare]

I voted for~

• The Extreme, I've always liked this boss theme, nice intro that builds up into the fight.
• You're Not Alone, only one of my most favorite FF songs ever. Nostalgia coupled with an excellent music piece and my god, the scenes when it plays? It has so much meaning in it.
• Vivi's Theme, this theme suits Vivi so much. Just listening is enough to give me the whole IX intro. It's amazing. <3

Honorable mentions: Honestly I like all the songs in this poll. I'm surprised by how good Elfe's Theme is and was tempted to vote for it but felt my votes would be better elsewhere. Moebius, Shinra Inc, Prelude, and Aria are all good in their own rights as well.

 

[Obsidian Fire]

Elfe's Theme, You're Not Alone!, and Mobius.

I have to admit, I did feel like trolling when I was putting together the nominations and almost put in all the FFXIV Alexander themes (Metal, Locus, Exponential Entropy, Rise, etc.)...

 

[Flare]

^I was tempted to nominate one or two of those Alexander themes myself. XD I'll admit, if Rise was in the polls, I think I would've had to have voted for it.

 

[Obsidian Fire]

Lol, yeah. However, all of those songs have lyrics, and I know how a lot of people on the forums think about that FF songs that have lyrics (as opposed to ambient choir). So Mobius it was; it at least had parts of Metal and Locus in it.

I do think it's funny how most Final Fantasy games don't have songs with lyrics in them unless the song is "important" to the story (mostly likely a result of MIDI technology back in the day). And then you get to Final Fantasy XIV and most of the songs everyone thinks are good have lyrics in them. It's probably one of the easiest tells that the main FFXIV composer is not Umetsu.

 

[Ite]

This one was hard because it contains some of my top all-time faves. I remember burning CDs of the FF7 OST and just listening to Shinra Inc. on repeat walking down the halls of my highschool. The Extreme is tied with OWA for my favorite final boss themes, and Vivi's Theme is so so so so so good. I figured You're Not Alone would get enough votes without my help (glad to see I was right) so those were my three.

 

[Sasren]

The extreme, coin of fate, vivi's theme

 

[HylianMogget]

This was tough. Shinra, Inc. was a definite. My other votes went to The Veldt and Vivi's Theme. You're Not Alone is a favorite of mine, but I'm sure there'll be another chance to vote for it later. I like Aria de Mezzo Carattere a lot, too, and I almost chose it over Vivi's Theme (and if it was the FFVI opera as a whole it would've been a definite).

 

[Channy]

My mind was totally blown when Vagrant told me Aria uses parts of Aerith's Theme... or rather.. vise versa...

Still voted for it though

 

[Carlie]

Prelude VII, and two of my favorite IX songs You're Not Alone and Vivi's Theme.

 

[Flare]
