Rating |
| Airship |
This one's all right. A lighthearted, "flying" theme. Pretty good, actually. There is
an annoying drum effect in the background, though. |
7.6 |
| Airship 2 |
Actually, this one gets a better rating than the first one just 'cause there's no more drum effect. |
7.9 |
| Another Moon |
Man, someone was drinkin' when they wrote this... |
7.5 |
| Bab-Il Tower |
Hmmm... it does kinda get across the feeling of "oh hell, this is a
long climb." It's a good piece, but maybe not for a tower. |
7.6 |
| Bab-Il Tower 2 |
Again, this is better than the first one. Don't ask why. |
7.8 |
| Baron Castle |
Not many FF2 MIDIs get a 10 rating. This is one of the few. |
10.0!! |
| Battle |
This one's great. Actually, all the Final Fantasy battle themes are. |
8.9 |
| Battle 2 |
I don't see much difference between this and the first one. They get rated equal. |
8.9 |
| Big Whale |
I kinda like it. Uplifting theme for the airship which takes you to the moon. |
7.4 |
| Boss Fight |
They don't really get better than this. This piece is debatably the best piece
in Final Fantasy II. This MIDI version's great, as well. |
10.0!! |
| Boss Fight 2 |
This adaptation is good too. There's some cool echoing effects in this one. |
10.0!! |
| Boss Fight 3 |
Man, this one's weird. It definitely deserves to be taken down a notch. What instrument is that, anyway? |
7.5 |
| Calbrena |
I HATE the Calbrena. Maybe I'm prejudiced against its music... |
6.5 |
| Chocobo! |
I've heard better Chocobo themes than this. (But I LOVE the Chocobos!) |
5.8 |
| Chocobo! 2 |
Better than the first one, but still doesn't quite cut it... |
6.8 |
| Darkness (Cave Theme) |
The Final Fantasy II cave themes stand out really well. There's not that many
good pieces in this game but the ones that are good are REAL good. |
9.3 |
| Darkness 2 |
This one's even better. I don't quite know why...maybe it's because it sounds
more like a rushing underground river type of thing... |
9.7 |
| Dwarf Castle (Underground) |
The theme for the underground world. I like it well enough, but I didn't
like the world itself in the game (1 town? Come on!)... |
7.7 |
| Epilogue |
Do I have to say it's a 10? |
10.0!! |
| Epilogue 2 |
Shorter than the first one, and possibly of worse quality, but still a perfect score. |
10.0!! |
| Fabul |
Oriental-sounding, good piece. This is the hometown of Yang, Karate Master. I like it very much,
even though it's short. |
9.1 |
| Fanfare |
The Final Fantasy fanfare is a great, uplifting piece. Too bad this isn't a very good
adaptation of it... |
7.5 |
| Fanfare 2 |
Slightly better than the first, but not by much. |
7.8 |
| Fanfare 3 |
This must be the best version of the 3 I have. Still doesn't quite
meet the standard... |
8.2 |
| Fiend Battle |
For fighting the Four Elemental Fiends, and a few select others. |
8.8 |
| Fiend Battle 2 |
This one's more like a different version of the Boss Fight. I really can't say which
one's better. |
8.8 |
| Final Fight |
For fighting Zeromus. I debated for a long time whether to give it an 8 or a 9, because
it has some good parts and some sucky parts, but is an OK piece overall. I decided to go with
the 9. |
9.0 |
| Giant of Bab-Il |
This piece is heard when you infiltrate the Giant of Bab-Il and again in the Core of
the Moon. This is pretty good. Has that "nearing the end of our journey; morale is high" feeling. |
9.0 |
| Giott, King of the Dwarves |
This adaptation is, in my opinion, better than the actual game music. Heard in King
Giott's underground castle. |
9.2 |
| Golbez' Theme |
Why is it my sympathies always lie with the bad guys in a game? This is the theme
of Golbez, who, in my opinion, is THE MAN of the whole game. |
7.8 |
| Golbez' Theme 2 |
This has a weird "mystical" touch to it. Surprisingly enough, the contrast turns out
quite nicely. |
7.9 |
| Golbez' Theme 3 |
This is absolutely THE MUSIC for Golbez as far as I'm concerned. Mellow, but dark. |
8.1 |
| Hey, Cid! |
A spunky, light piece for the fun-loving, teddy-bearish Cid! Played when he's doing something
to the Airship (i.e. very often). |
8.5 |
| Hey, Cid! 2 |
I like this one less... |
7.5 |
| Illusionary World |
If I'm not mistaken, this is the theme of the Sylph Cave. I think it's a good piece to accompany a magical
cave with weird floors and pixies. |
8.1 |
| Long Way to Go |
This is the theme of the Tower of Wishes in Mysidia. I loved this one in the game. |
10.0!! |
| Love Theme |
This is the theme of Rosa, White Wizard and later, Cecil's wife, the Queen of Baron! |
7.8 |
| Love Theme 2 |
This one's quieter than the first one, but I like it more. Kind of reflects starry nights... |
8.2 |
| Lute (Edward's Theme) |
This is the theme of the useless bum Edward. Despite the fact that Edward is a complete loser, the
music's not half bad. Not enough for a 9, though. |
8.7 |
| Main Theme (Overworld) |
Good. Not great. |
7.9 |
| Main Theme 2 |
I like this one much better, for some reason. Maybe it's because they have that string
part at the very beginning. |
8.8 |
| Mt. Ordeals |
Hmmm... I don't like the FF2 mountain music as much as I do others. Thus adaptation
is okay, I guess. |
7.1 |
| Mystic Mysidia |
Kooky theme for the Black/White Wizards of Mysidia. It's fun and it fits the town well. That's its
saving grace. |
7.3 |
| Prelude |
Ahhhhhhh... listen to those chimes. This one's a classic. |
10.0!! |
| Prelude 2 |
I love this piece. Also called the Crystal Music by some. |
10.0!! |
| Prelude 3 |
For being a classic, this piece gets 10. |
10.0!! |
Prelude 4 |
Relaxing as can be. A bit quieter than the others. |
10.0!! |
| Prelude 5 |
What can I say? I love it. |
10.0!! |
| Prologue |
This one's a good piece. Lightens the heart, and has the feeling of "our huge journey's only beginning." |
8.2 |
| Prologue 2 |
Slightly worse than the previous version. |
7.8 |
| Prologue 3 |
This one gets treated the same as the first one. |
8.2 |
| Prologue, Piano Only |
Don't listen to this. The cheapness will make you cry. |
2.5 |
| Red Wings |
Also known as Cecil's Theme. It rocks. |
10.0!! |
| Red Wings 2 |
Definitely not as good as the first version. |
9.0 |
| Rydia's Theme |
Caller Rydia's theme. I think it's pretty weak. |
6.8 |
| Rydia's Theme 2 |
Even weaker than the first one. |
5.8 |
| Somewhere Out There |
No, it's not the song from An American Tail. Actually, it seems to be a remake of Golbez' Theme.
I don't quite remember where this is from. I assume it's during Kain's meetings with Cecil when they
discussed terms of surrender and suchlike. |
7.6 |
| Sorrow |
Whenever a sad event happens, this plays. It's all right. |
7.5 |
| Sorrow 2 |
This is an alternate version of Sorrow. Happens at different times. I like it more. |
7.8 |
| Suspicion |
I don't know exactly why it's called Suspicion, but it's a pretty good piece. |
7.9 |
| Toroian Beauty |
The music of the Toroian Castle. Can't say I like it that much. In fact, the second version is better. |
6.9 |
| Toroian Beauty 2 |
This is less quiet and has more detail than the first adaptation. |
7.4 |
| Welcome to Our Town! |
Relaxing, boring music for any town you might come across. |
6.9 |
| Welcome to Our Town! 2 |
A slightly better version. |
7.1 |
| Welcome to Our Town! 3 |
This one gets the same evaluation as the first version. |
6.9 |
| Zot Tower |
Another remake of Golbez' theme. This is where Rosa was imprisoned and held captive for Golbez to gloat over. |
7.3 |
