The Black Mages have covered more themes from the Final Fantasy VIII soundtrack than from any other soundtrack in the series. The soundtrack received mixed reviews, being called "one of the most memorable scores you will ever hear" by some sources, and yet being pointed as "dull" by others. The song's naming was also inspired by 1986 novel by Chilean writer Enrique Barrios, entitled Ami, el niño de las estrellas. The composition "Ami" derives from the French word ami for "friend". The Final Fantasy VIII soundtrack was the first for all of its tracks to bear English language titles, with minor deviations. The romance between Squall and Rinoa resulted in the creation of the game's vocal theme, " Eyes on Me". The only times he decided to include a personal theme was whenever a character was highlighted.

Uematsu wrote no character themes for Final Fantasy VIII because he found them largely ineffective. It's important to know when their emotions are at their height, but it usually takes until a month before release for them to finish the ending dialogue! He could not express a character's emotions solely with plot, instead using images of appearance and attire. Uematsu wrote notes based on character designs and screenplays, creating a general picture of the songs' moods. Uematsu did not use multiple sources to find MIDI instruments, instead using a Roland SC88 synthesizer for the entire score.

I'd like to extend a huge thank you to all the contributors to the album including the 57 ReMixers the awesome artists at Game-Art-HQ José for working on the trailer Kevin "TheGreyNinja" Merriman for the cover art Flexstyle for a bit of mastering and finally djp, Larry, and the other staff for helping to get everything out the door. Spotlighting the game music you really love is what we're all about here, and I feel like that is particularly true with this album. I'm personally really happy for that to be the case, as I've always thought that you can really hear when people are invested in their tracks. This is because they actually joined OC ReMix just for this project because of how much they love FFIX. One thing you might notice about this album is the amount of new faces (or new at the time) who contributed multiple tracks. Even if you don't agree that it's his best, I definitely think it's the most cohesive effort in the series. Uematsu has said that the Final Fantasy IX soundtrack is his favourite of the series, and you can definitely tell he got carried away given the depth on display. There are so many variations that we actually had to limit the number of versions of similar themes. Final Fantasy IX has a huge soundtrack (over 120 tracks), and the reason for this is the great number of variations on motifs. This is partly because it is humongous, featuring 58 tracks with contributions from 57 artists. Please do check out those, and all of the other Final Fantasy albums!Īs you might have heard, this album has been a long time coming. Travel Through the Mist Director: Cain McCormackįirstly, credit where it is due! This album project was originally started by Brandon Strader, who you might also know as the director of the FFI and FFII albums on OC ReMix.
