Sad, sad, sad, sad, sad...
2005-09-21
I purchased this cd thinking that I would be getting another interpretation of the FF concert series which went through the US these past couple of years. Boy was I wrong.
The music on this cd was nothing like what Final Fantasy fans have come to know and love. I am still trying to figure out how this cd ever got made since it is absolute crap. What makes me most curious is that the cd has a paragraph saying "This Recording is Neither Sponsored or Endoresed by the Orignal Arists or Owners." It is a good thing that the artists and owners are not connecting themselves with the cd, but someone still had to give the permission for this cd to be released. Honestly, do not buy this cd unless you must have every cd ever made with the name Final Fantasy on it. FYI, regarding Track 12, this was orignally from a fan-based cd release called "Project Majestic Mix." I'm not sure how a song from the PMM cd became a part of this album, but its about the only good thing here.

This is positively awful. The first track is bearable, the rest is horrendous (can't comment on track 12, my copy is older and doesn't have it). The "instruments" aren't even properly blended. I use quotes because it sounds totally synthesized. Symphonic Suite, Grand Finale, Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec, these are the albums you should look for if you want to hear orchestral Final Fantasy.
Holy Crap!

Wow.
Hollywood Symphony Orchestra MY BEHIND!! This was the crappiest 4 bucks I've ever spent... Immediately after reading the following from the back of the CD... "Earth has been decimated by a meteor... The beautiful and capable Dr. Aki Ross is Earth's last hope against extinction. This new recording, featuring the world-renowned Nobuo Uematsu, captures the excitement and drama of this popular videogame-turned blockbuster movie." a few things... 1) to the right of the above paragraph was this message: "THIS RECORDING IS NEITHER SPONSORED OR ENDORSED BY THE ORIGINAL ARTISTS OR OWNERS." 2) The writer for the CD cover has clearly not ever played any of the FF games--he fails to notice that any of the FF games are continuations. 3) The FF film was not "a blockbuster movie". Look, if you want to have better covers of Final Fanatsy music, scrounge around in ocremix.org or vgmix.com Amateurish digital instrumentation, completely craptastic. I'd give it zero stars, but that wasn't an option... 
A Deceptively Bad Album

I'm not sure how the makers of this CD got away with claiming that this music was performed by the Hollywood Symphony "Orchestra" and "Chorus." In reality, what this package presents as an orchestra is merely a collection of synthesized/sampled instruments playing a smattering of tracks from the series in a not-so-musical way.
Not all of the tracks are horrible, mind you; apart from the Final Fantasy VIII tracks (8-11), most of the songs on this disc are worth a listen. The problem is that this CD feels more like an emulation than an elaboration. Lacking both live instruments and any truly inspired arrangements, it fails to deliver anything beyond the original music. It's cheap price is it's one saving feature. For avid fans, it's worth checking out. Just don't expect anything beyond what you're paying for.
NEVER BUY THIS!

I have ever listen to Final Fantasy 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 original sound tracks.
I found this CD was really trash in a few second. Because all the tracks on this CD were inferior to original ones in quality. Never buy this!  Read for more: http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html%3FASIN=B...
