 Magnificent! January 30, 2007
When this beautiful item arrived at my home, I had no idea what to expect, and frankly I wasn't filled with anticipation. But when I opened the package I was stunned. This is quite possibly one of the most beautiful presentations I have ever seen for a soundtrack (or any other musical presentation for that matter). The bright white stiff paperboard 4-CD case unfolds to lay flat and display all 4 CDs side by side and is adorned on the outside by beautiful full-color images from the game. When closed, the front cover has a full-color rendition of the game's logo centered against a white background. Each CD has a full-color label featuring the main characters from the game. Included with this is a 26-page CD-sized booklet with full-color game images and LOTS of Japanese text (99% of it is in Japanese).
My only misgivings are that the very last song "Suteki da ne" skips for some reason and I had to rip it to be able to listen to it whole. Also, the entire thing is in Japanese and I couldn't read anything in the booklet, which contains a ton of text and I am sure would make for fascinating reading :(.
You can rest assured that if you are a fan of the game and you purchase this you will not be disappointed.

When I recieved my copy of this I was excted but once I opened it I was confused weither it was legit or not. Some of the songs skipped and it got annoying after awhile even though the CD's weren't scratched. Over all it was nice that I got my music but....ehh....was it really worth it?
Several ultimate tracks, but lots of boring background tracks July 28, 2006

The Final Fantasy X soundtrack is Nobuo Uematsu's second greatest work ever, under only the FFVII: Advent Children soundtrack. The FFX soundtrack four-disc collection has several utterly awesome pieces, but (having 91 tracks) there are also many boring background filler songs. However, the soundtrack is still a great four out of five.
With so many songs, a VERY wide variety of genres are covered. Uematsu uses many styles and attitudes throughout the game, even if the tracks are boring. The soundtrack is great if you enjoy not having the same style song after song.
Though it has its boring phases, the soundtrack makes a comeback with several awesome pieces. (Listen to the available clips of all these great pieces) First, "Zanarkand", (track 2, disc 1) a beautiful, emotional piano song performed by Seiji Honda. This is followed shortly after by "Otherworld," a hard rock song that even made me, a hard-rock detester, love it. The next classic is "The Sending," (track 2, disc 2) a very spiritual-sounding, somewhat hypnotic piece. Then comes "Seymour's Ambition," a song that... well, listen to it yourself (track 6, disc 3). It's rather hard to desribe. Then we come upon a calm, traditional Japanese-sounding arrangement of the beautiful, overflowing-with-emotion "Suteki Da Ne," (track 21, disc 3) performed by Rikki (full name: Ritsuki Nakano). This arrangement is inferior to the orchestral one, however.
Disc four has three great classics on it. "Seymour Omnis," (track 15, disc 4) is a pumped-up electric-sounding final battle piece. After that comes the "Ending Theme," a beautiful orchestral score piece that is (just like many FFX tracks) wonderfully emotional. After that comes my favorite song on the entire soundtrack: "Suteki Da Ne," the orchestral version (track 21, disc 4). I cannot describe how emotional this song is, so I won't try. All I can say is that the clip Amazon has doesn't show its power very well at all, since it's the chorus that's the best.
This soundtrack has many other good tracks, and many other bad tracks. But the good, the great, and the totally awesome end up defeating the bad. I definitely recommend this soundtrack.
The Coolest Thing I've Ever Purchased June 27, 2006
I love this CD set so much. The artwork is beautiful and the music is equally wonderful. It brings back so many memories from the game. I would recommend this to anyone who likes classical music, or just video game music in general. Nobuo Uematsu is my hero.
video game music worth many grammys June 19, 2006
Let me not beat around the bush- the music is amazing. i myself have not bought the cd but i have beat the game twice and let me tell you that this is the only game that has kept my desire to continue playing because of the music (although the rest of the game was way better than average). i suggest that you buy the game (its cheaper than the cd) so that the o so perfect songs will transport you to another world...a world withour sucky game music. songs like "to the end of the abyss" and "people of the north pole" are so good and dreamy that i would find myself just not touching the controller and just listening to the music...and the weird thing is that there's like 10 other songs that are that good. So truth be told this is THEE best soundtrack for a final fantasy game (which by way is a tall order) and is hands down one of the top five best videogame soundtracks of all time. couldnt recomend it more.
