the captivating storylines
characters and visuals aren’t the only
things that make Final Fantasy
fantastical the music is out of this
world it’s so popular orchestras have
toured internationally performing sets
from this JRPG series and now it’s time
to listen to the best of the best
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
ten final fantasy songs and themes they
granted my wish your wish for this top
10 we’re looking at some of the most
iconic well-known and well-loved tracks
from the main series we’re looking at
the songs that truly captured the moment
and that would be stuck in our heads for
years to come
naturally with a series as prolific as
this one narrowing down a list of ten
was no easy feat especially seeing as
most recent games had over 100 music
tracks so keep in mind that we’re giving
priority to the truly iconic songs that
scream Final Fantasy but not literally
number 10
Tara’s themed Final Fantasy 6 kicking
off the list is a theme of Final Fantasy
6 is beloved protagonist Tara Brantford
hearing it for the first time as the
brainwashed Imperial soldier marches
across the narshe snow fields in her
magitek armor is downright haunting and
sets the mood perfectly for the game
the piece is melancholic at times
hopeful at others and perfectly
encapsulates the mysterious half Esper
and her journey in one of the most
timeless RPGs of the series
number nine you’re not alone Final
Fantasy nine
Final Fantasy 9 earns a reputation for
being on the lighter and funnier side of
the spectrum but when it wants to do
pathos Final Fantasy 9 goes hard
maybe it’s because we’re so used to
seeing sedan being upbeat and cheerful
that this scene and its accompanying
piece of music is so powerful
it’s an intense moment of introspection
for the protagonist as he learns the
truth about who he is
and you’re not alone fits the mood to a
tee
number eight dancing Mad Final Fantasy 6
final fantasy 6 may be one of the most
musically ambitious games ever need
proof just listen to its final boss
theme
a nearly 20 minute long piece divided
into four movements synchronized with
the bosses four forms getting more and
more insane as it goes on which sounds
just about right for a villain like
kefka
it’s the longest battle theme in the
series and by far one of the most epic
number seven one winged angel Final
Fantasy 7
speaking of super epic final boss themes
it’s the most iconic final boss theme
for the most iconic final boss
featuring a Latin choir making it the
first time actual voices were heard in
Final Fantasy game and played during one
of the most memorable battles in the
series
sephiroth’s one wind anthem is as
beloved to gamers as the one winged
angel himself
number six theme of love Final Fantasy
four if you can imagine it Final Fantasy
four was actually a significant step up
in RPG storytelling and at the center of
the story of moon visitors and spoony
bard z’ was the budding romance of Cecil
and Rosa one of the series first canon
couples
sure it was a pretty standard love story
but for a 1991 Super Nintendo RPG it was
pretty darn sweet
and it’s sweetness is captured in this
theme song which has come to represent
the game as a whole
number five opera Maria and dracco area
de mexico de terre final fantasy 6
so let’s say that’s hypothetically
dancing mad didn’t convince you that
Final Fantasy 6 is a musical masterpiece
in that case look no further than Maria
and dracco a complete opera coming out
of the super Nintendos primitive sound
systems
it has singable lyrics for impressive
movements and a whole lot of character
and if you’re still not convinced then
there may not be hope for you at all
number four clash on the big bridge
final fantasy 5 running for your life
with a horde of monsters on your heels
in a strange alien world has never been
so fun thanks to one of the catchiest
jams in final fantasy history
not only does it intensify this already
epic sequence from Final Fantasy 5 but
it’s come to be known as the theme of
Gilgamesh one of the goofiest and most
memorable recurring characters in the
series
and every time he appears so too does
this epic theme appearing in as more
recent as Final Fantasy 14
number three the promised Final Fantasy
13 even when the man behind the music
Nobuo Uematsu passed the reins on to a
new team for a new generation of Final
Fantasy they still delivered on all
fronts
featuring vocals by Frances Maya this
melancholic and sentimental piece serves
as the main theme for Final Fantasy 13
and as the character theme for
lightnings sister Sarah
whether you love 13 or hate it you can’t
deny that that’s some pretty music
number two aerith’s theme final fantasy
seven
don’t worry take a second to compose
yourself it’s hard to argue this one
matching one of the most emotional
scenes in the series history with one of
the most emotional pieces of music ever
composed and you can be sure you’ve made
an impression on the hearts of gamers
everywhere
as soon as those first familiar piano
notes start playing gamers everywhere
know to grab a tissue
remembering the sweet loving flower girl
from sector five before we reveal our
top pick here are a few honorable
mentions
number one to zanarkand Final Fantasy 10
it wasn’t an easy pick but here we are
the main theme of Final Fantasy 10 and
the very first thing you hear before
starting your unforgettable journey
through spera
if you hadn’t noticed by now emotion
counts for a lot in making a piece of
music work and the haunting lonely
melody of two’s Anakin’s has emotion in
spades and once you get to the actual
moment in the story you start to really
understand the tunes emotional impact we
can all agree that there’s nothing quite
like starting a new Final Fantasy and
being sent off with this magical theme
promises an adventure like no other do
