Dust to Dust - Final Fantasy XIII OST

[@natohs]

Masashi mastered that ethereal feeling

[@r3q901]

Totally. I'm glad people enjoy the games' OSTs. Hamauzu is a master of his craft.

[@camelxravennova]

ff13's soundtrack is a timeless godsend musical masterpiece

[@michaelgoff4504]

I was disappointed when I found that Nobuo Uematsu wouldn't contribute any tracks, but Masashi Hamauzu did a phenomenal job. I lost interest in the Final Fantasy series for many years and did not get around to playing FF13 until this year (2023). This game, and this track and the scene at Oerba Village in particular, touched a raw nerve. It was not long after I lost my wife to illness, which in turn was not long after I nearly died from a similar condition. I can't think of any scene in any piece of media that more forcefully portrays the fleetingness of life. The first game in the series I played was Final Fantasy I, when it was first released in North America in 1990, at the age of 9. I never could have imagined at the time what the series would mean for me.

[@adam92682]

I didn't play FF13 for the longest time because they replaced Kimi Ga Iru Kara with some Leona Lewis song.

[@Dexmonicus]

I played this game when it first came out, and I rage quit half way through because of how linear and different it was, while not getting what I wanted out of it. Some years later, I tried again, knowing the pitfalls of the "early game". When I made it past the main Gran Pulse area, that's when the game started to shine for me. Past the mechs and then the tower. Then I made it to Oerba, wondering why this music started playing, and we found out the fate of the hometown Fang and Vanille held close in their hearts this whole time. A hometown full of failed servants forcefully converted at the whims of the Fal'cie and empty of any remaining life. I cried for the sheer waste and pointlessness of it all; all these monsters were once neighbors and friends, and now they are nothing more than zombies that will never return to how they were before. I'm glad I toughed this game out the second time around.

[@valentinpla9]

I love this soundtrack, is so nostalgic. I just want to be a kid and play this game again, without knowing what is going to happen and the memorable adventure i am about to experience...

[@normad88]

[@cameraredeye3115]

Oerba... The town where Fang and Vanille grew up, now a desolate wasteland void of human life. What few human survivors remained after Etro's intervention now wandered it aimlessly as monstrous Cie'th. With no one left to ask for help, and no leads remaining, the l'Cie's faint hopes of shedding their brands vanished like dust in the wind. Only one recourse remained for the six outcasts: to return to Cocoon and slay the conniving Barthandelus, the supposed mastermind behind the Purge and the plan to sacrifice humanity to recall the Maker. But their brands have already progressed quite far, and the hour of their Cie'th transformation draws ever closer. Time is no longer on their side, and neither is fate...

[@VictoriaSteelmountain]

Wow, I remember you commenting on FFXIII-2 music videos many years ago, and you’re still here! You’re an absolute legend.

[@biscariot1074]

Alot of people miss out on games that they may enjoy out of time restraints or financial reasons or maybe they got into the series really late.My first FF game was FFX for example and I just got around playing the PS1 classics only this year. 20 years after their initial release. Also it didn't help that the reviews of Ff13 from critics were mediocre at best and alot of people hated it for some reason. I for one consider it one of the best and I've played most of them.

[@DannielSquall100]

This song has the same feeling for me as 'Someday the Dream Will End' from Final Fantasy X.

[@danielburch824]

It was sad to discover what had happened to the entire village of Oerba was done as a repercussion of Fang and Vanille not completing their Focus even though the failure was due to Etro intervening

[@Mezmerize4Tests]

Actually, they achieved their Focus, that's why they turned into crystals before the beginning

[@warriorofdawn876]

Not true. Their focus was to destroy Cocoon, remember? So, yeah, Etro did intervene and stop them from completing it.

[@anda04]

From what I understood from the book, they completed their focus and turned to crystal inside the bodhum vestige, which was brought to cocoon sometime after that. They wake up on cocoon and start looking for their (Vanille's?) new focus. That triggers the events of the game, the purge, Dajh and Sarah becoming l'cie etc. As for the village, I don't exactly remember what happened there.

[@aiblackrose]

In reality, they were about to fulfill it but Etro intervened, forcing them into crystal sleep. There never was a new focus, Vanille had the same focus while Fang had lost her memories of their focus, forcing Vanille to pretend to have lost hers too. The reason why one's brand was frozen while the other wasn't (with Fang having the frozen brand) was because Fang had been the one to attempt turning into Ragnarok. But they never finished that because their focus was exclusively become Ragnarok and destroy the world above. Etro stopped them before that. Their awakening triggered FF13 and the rest of the trilogy events

[@amandaclaireon4065]

my question is how did etro even intervene when Bhunivelze didnt even give her any powers

It was 3 AM in the morning playing this game and i told myself "ok its time to hit the bed" but when I heard this OST, it urged me to play half hour more. Final Fantasy XIII Trilogy are criminally underrated games and I will take them over XV anytime of the day. I hope they get PS4 or PS5 ports one day.

I wish it was that optimistic for me. It felt to me like my last hope was gone for centuries, and I just didn't realize it until now. After hearing it when finding Oerba in the game, I have a lot of trouble thinking of it in any other context

[@paipaisoft3259]

It's funny because in-game this song plays when you arrive at some of the main characters' hometown only to realize that centuries have passed, that everyone they knew is dead, that there isn't a living human soul left in their entire world beside the main cast who traveled from another world, and with that their last hope is also gone.

[@landbeforetimeee]

If you play it in backwards compatibility mode on the xbox one X/Series X all three games are upscaled to 4k and run at a locked framerate with no stuttering. Hell, parts of FFXIII look like they released last year; it's crazy how good it looks. On top of that, Microsoft went and independently acquired the original, uncompressed cutscene video files from Square, so rather than watching upscaled 480p from the 360 era you get (again) absolutely fantastic video quality. For whatever reason, Microsoft really went the extra mile on the entire trilogy; it's above and beyond the quality of most recent remasters, if you're looking to dive back in.

Makes you feel fantasised. Out of the world music by Masahi Hamauzu

[@masterchiefdp]

Looking at how desolated the village of Oerba was, all in shambles, covered in sand, broken roads and bridges, rusted buildings and things that helps them live in prosperity now obstructed and rusted. Cie'th roaming and wandering around that was once their home. How tragic this was especially when Vanille and Fang got hit hard when they looked down below towards their home, now broken and covered in sand, all color, gone....
