The usage of the classic FF themes were so well done in this game. Gets ya right in the feels

34:50 This is the best OST for me. Hearing that part and thinking of that scene with Jill, just hits different.

[@hermonylee6123]

17.Jill’s offering is probably the most beautiful love scene that I’ve seen in all games so far

[@OracleGrouse]

Fr thats soooo beautiful 😄

[@zayallday29]

Jill’s offering….so many emotions

[@BeslindPolisi]

Wait.. you mean to tell me this is not the official piano soundtrack, but YOU?? The game just came out like how o.o

[@lucastan3926]

41:35 That scene made me cry especially when the violin started along too. Hands down, an amazing game that has my vote even if it may not be GOTY but it will have a special place in my heart of video games. Btw, thank you Chewie for the video

[@SnuSnu91]

This game truly deserves to be GOTY - this is easily one of the best games I have ever played. You can see and feel how much love and passion went into this game!

[@mr.nattyolimpia6437]

This is the greatest video game I’ve ever played… it’s not only been a great experience playing but some of the music I’ll be listening to probably for the rest of my life

[@shiroalter8975]

the entire ending like scene had me in tears

[@FBI_Not]

surprise, hes not dead. See the red star when Jill's Crying, and then dawn approaches. the Res star disappeared, which means Jill's Prayer has been granted. You may not see clive, but thats the point of the whole game. its a story about hope and believe

[@deoxysajaib3826]

@@FBI_Not is it confirmed ? (please its confirmed and have dlc after it explaining clive is not dead, and reunite with jill please square enix)

[@hehecat853]

​​​​​​@@deoxysajaib3826 ofc it's not confirmed yet, but realizing that Yoshida told us to focus on some symbolism on the game gave us hope tho! With those endgame side quests, and those important dialogues, if you know, you know that Clive's alive:) but remember it's not confirmed yet, but surely there's a high chance. But What for? Yoshida said to focus on some symbolism if not for the ending? The story is soooo rich that we must focus on some details... And unfortunately people don't... Side quest was trash and they skipped it, even though it has some important dialogues just like what I said :) Remember the book on the post-credit scene? Theres a side quest when Hippocratus gave Clive a pen, and he (Clive) will write all their journey into a book. And that's it! I dont care if it was written by Joshua, remembering that Clive is too kindhearted, even put Cid's legacy to his name, soo yeah

[@deoxysajaib3826]

@@hehecat853 YEAAAAH THX, i've already read at that the reddit tho, everything all details together just make sense already. hypothesis That clive is alive, are very strong when we snap all the details given. Thx man, appreciate so much for the comments

37:15 This track is absolutely my favorite of all the piano tracks I think

[@yomly]

everyone stanning the OST, and here's me thinking about how someone speedrun a game at a release which minimum takes 20-30 hours to complete, tracked down every roll (and maybe had to grind gil for them) right at release (where there's limited info about the game). Then sat down, transcribed every tune and then RECORDED them, all in like a week from the game coming out. That's some serious hard graft and serious musical ability, the musicianship in these recordings are pretty professional too... Credit where credit's due folks...

[@HN-fb6md]

IM crying, this game was a 10/10 even with its flaws.

[@user-rk8np4sl6d]

Joshua's theme for some reason just hit my heart so hard every time it came up, no matter the context, no matter the version (be it epic or sad), just tears would immediately start rolling down my face.. I have no idea why but this theme just so easily opens me up and gets me very vulnerable and emotional.. truly something special❤

[@BGzGamersVoid]

Indomitable is an absolute masterpiece.

[@edendavis6835]

Yes, a kind of reminds me of the tune of Destati a bit which is super nostalgic.

[@lillianskatana]

Founder's Footsteps #1 for me! Always my main BGM. Loud and proud, FFXVI is my game of the decade!

Amazing. I love the FFXVI ost. It is criminally underrated.

it won best soundtrack at the game awards lol I don't think anyone's underrating it. Everyone, FF fans and otherwise, admit that Soken is the goat and his music is next level

This is by far the best and I think also the first full FFXVI compilation soundtrack done from a fan and I take my hat off to you. If it wasn’t for these long form song videos from Final Fantasy I don’t know if I could crank out my 100 cases at work so easily. They help me focus so much.

Such beautiful playing. Knowledge of how to play a piece is much more than reading notes on the page. The interpretation of the musical feeling is what separates the good from the great. You captured this incredibly well.

[@tontj]

Just realize that "Joshua and Clive" is literally a combination of "Away" and "Find the Flame" But from all of this soundtrack Jill's offering is the saddest knowing the context of the story. Just finished the game and now I feel satisfied but at the same time empty. Just like when you finally experienced something amazing and do not know what to do next.
