There’s a marching band version of the Final Fantasy theme, a remix of Final Fantasy III’s “Eternal Winds” with English and Japanese vocal versions that don’t do much for me, and lots of kazoo arrangements of classic Final Fantasy tunes. There’s the melancholy “Lost Souls – Caius & Yeul,” the glorious and classy “Serah’s Theme (Piano Ver.),” and a tumultuous theme for Snow. “Desert Lullaby (Instrumental)” is super dreamy and sleep-inducing, and while the vocals never bothered me, I think I prefer this version. “The Captive Saint” surprises with its serene-turned-terrifying progression, while the playful and upbeat multi-part “Sazh and Dajh” also traverses a lot of territory.
The pounding percussion and gritty electronics of “Soul Seeds,” the powerful “Lightning Returns (Aggressive Mix),” and dark and ominous “A Dying World” also hit the spot.īut it’s not all electronics here. I think electronica fans will enjoy the explosive “High Voltage (Game Ver.),” the dreamy ’80s synth work in “Death Game (Synthesizer Ver.)” (one of my favorites), and the glitchy “The Ark (Soundtrack Exclusive Ver.)” with its tick-tock piano notes and cool atmosphere. I can’t say I’m as intimately familiar with the Lightning Returns OST as I was with the first two Final Fantasy XIII OSTs, but that’s likely because the original soundtrack was more ambient in nature. I think as has been true for most of these albums in the past, if you’re a fan of the original soundtrack, there should be some cool stuff to find here.
#Lightning returns – final fantasy xiii ost plus plus
While it didn’t feature the catchy pop music that made Final Fantasy XIII-2 so endearing, it did sport its own unique blend of electronic ambiance that provided for a great listen.Īs has been customary for the Final Fantasy XIII soundtracks, Square Enix released an additional disc of trailer music, instrumental versions, cut tracks, and variations on themes presented on this PLUS album. I quite enjoyed the Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII OST.
