Sound test Saturday: Final Fantasy VIII – The legendary beast

5 Comments

Dark Diamond sound test - Final Fantasy VIII - Legendary beastIn light of me posting an in depth interview with Nobuo Uematsu, it’s only fair that I honor him for today’s Sound test Saturday.

Final Fantasy VIII was a pretty weak soundtrack in my opinion. There were probably only 3 pieces from it that stood out, one of them being “Liberi Fatali”. I would’ve posted that tonight, only Uematsu wasn’t responsible for it and I wanted to honor him this evening.

I’ve decided to post “The legendary beast”. For years I thought this was from Final Fantasy VII and even posted that it was until Dark Diamond regular Link pointed out to me that this piece was indeed from Final Fantasy VIII. So excuse the mishap and my lack of knowledge regarding shit such as which game this piece was from. Even now I cannot remember what you fight when you hear this piece. I just remembering it moving me and thinking to myself “Shit! I cannot f**k up…” The Final Fantasy fans amongst you with better memories than mine: Please enlighten me as to what you had to fight when this played. I cannot remember for shit.

As hot as this piece sounds as it is, I’d love to hear this orchestrated live. That would most definitely rock…

    Legendary Beast was from FFVIII… Oh well, its still a great song.

  2. J says:

    Cheers mate… *blushes*

  3. Oh man FFVIII is still my favorite of the series. Youre right in that its soundtrack is far from iconic but the story was one of the most cinematic, both in script and in execution. Plus the lead wasnt some blonde ladyboy… sure it was a brunette ladyboy but he at least had some guts not like the FF males thereafter.

    Why do people keep picking on poor Tidus?? Oh wait, he was a like a pregnant lady. Never mind.
