The music of the video game Final Fantasy XIII was composed by Masashi Hamauzu. Former regular series composer Nobuo Uematsu did not contribute any pieces to the soundtrack. Music from the game has been released in several albums.
I love this soundtrack, is so nostalgic. I just want to be a kid and play this game again, without knowing what is going to happen and the memorable adventure i am about to experience...
I nearly platinumed this game as an adult over 11 years ago. I'm still an adult, and miss those times. Nostalgia doesn't disappear with age. It's a frequent occurrence, kid.
@@ItsSauIGoodmanyo he did rebirth!? Damn that makes me really happy to know he's still making fire, that also explains some of the tracks I've heard were kind of familiar
I was disappointed when I found that Nobuo Uematsu wouldn't contribute any tracks, but Masashi Hamauzu did a phenomenal job. I lost interest in the Final Fantasy series for many years and did not get around to playing FF13 until this year (2023). This game, and this track and the scene at Oerba Village in particular, touched a raw nerve. It was not long after I lost my wife to illness, which in turn was not long after I nearly died from a similar condition. I can't think of any scene in any piece of media that more forcefully portrays the fleetingness of life. The first game in the series I played was Final Fantasy I, when it was first released in North America in 1990, at the age of 9. I never could have imagined at the time what the series would mean for me.
Alot of people miss out on games that they may enjoy out of time restraints or financial reasons or maybe they got into the series really late.My first FF game was FFX for example and I just got around playing the PS1 classics only this year. 20 years after their initial release. Also it didn't help that the reviews of Ff13 from critics were mediocre at best and alot of people hated it for some reason. I for one consider it one of the best and I've played most of them.
It was sad to discover what had happened to the entire village of Oerba was done as a repercussion of Fang and Vanille not completing their Focus even though the failure was due to Etro intervening
From what I understood from the book, they completed their focus and turned to crystal inside the bodhum vestige, which was brought to cocoon sometime after that. They wake up on cocoon and start looking for their (Vanille's?) new focus. That triggers the events of the game, the purge, Dajh and Sarah becoming l'cie etc. As for the village, I don't exactly remember what happened there.
In reality, they were about to fulfill it but Etro intervened, forcing them into crystal sleep. There never was a new focus, Vanille had the same focus while Fang had lost her memories of their focus, forcing Vanille to pretend to have lost hers too. The reason why one's brand was frozen while the other wasn't (with Fang having the frozen brand) was because Fang had been the one to attempt turning into Ragnarok. But they never finished that because their focus was exclusively become Ragnarok and destroy the world above. Etro stopped them before that. Their awakening triggered FF13 and the rest of the trilogy events
@@OnPatrolFan I agree, the trilogy definitely needs a remaster. It gets far too much hate than it deserves. Admittedly the games weren’t their best but they still have something special of their own and I’ll always enjoy the time I spent playing all 3 of them.
@@ryanrushford7918 Remaster what exactly? If they make Gran Pulse bigger than yeah but otherwise the game doesn't need a graphical update. Still looks amazing.
Oerba... The town where Fang and Vanille grew up, now a desolate wasteland void of human life. What few human survivors remained after Etro's intervention now wandered it aimlessly as monstrous Cie'th. With no one left to ask for help, and no leads remaining, the l'Cie's faint hopes of shedding their brands vanished like dust in the wind. Only one recourse remained for the six outcasts: to return to Cocoon and slay the conniving Barthandelus, the supposed mastermind behind the Purge and the plan to sacrifice humanity to recall the Maker. But their brands have already progressed quite far, and the hour of their Cie'th transformation draws ever closer. Time is no longer on their side, and neither is fate...
If you play it in backwards compatibility mode on the xbox one X/Series X all three games are upscaled to 4k and run at a locked framerate with no stuttering. Hell, parts of FFXIII look like they released last year; it's crazy how good it looks. On top of that, Microsoft went and independently acquired the original, uncompressed cutscene video files from Square, so rather than watching upscaled 480p from the 360 era you get (again) absolutely fantastic video quality. For whatever reason, Microsoft really went the extra mile on the entire trilogy; it's above and beyond the quality of most recent remasters, if you're looking to dive back in.
@@landbeforetimeee I know, I remind that I was glad 'cause Microsoft brought back the trilogy and it looks gorgeous, but sad 'cause I'm a PS user and Sony didn't the same. 😂💔
Listening to this soundtrack sends me back to December 2015 when i played FFXIII for first time. It was 3 AM in the morning playing this game and i told myself "ok its time to hit the bed" but when I heard this OST, it urged me to play half hour more. Final Fantasy XIII Trilogy are criminally underrated games and I will take them over XV anytime of the day. I hope they get PS4 or PS5 ports one day.
Top 3 of my fav emotional FF songs are Dust to Dust FF13, A Broken World FF7 Remake and Liberi Fatali FF8. For pure rush Valkyrie FF7 remake, if you have grown up around Final Fantasy games then you know where I am coming from with these songs.
Say what you want about XIII. This game has one of best graphics and soundtracks of the entire series. And I for one actually loved the game. I always put the radio of the Regalia to the ost of XIII. I love the vibe of this. Very remanacient of Hack//GU.
I love these songs.... I went through a hard time in life *while* playing this game... A huge transition. As an adult male, I can proudly say this made me shed some tears. It did back in 2010 too.
This song makes me feel as if I’m drifting through the heavens upon a cloud of tranquility. Not that I know how any of that feels but I’m sure this is pretty close! Amazing.
I wish it was that optimistic for me. It felt to me like my last hope was gone for centuries, and I just didn't realize it until now. After hearing it when finding Oerba in the game, I have a lot of trouble thinking of it in any other context
It's funny because in-game this song plays when you arrive at some of the main characters' hometown only to realize that centuries have passed, that everyone they knew is dead, that there isn't a living human soul left in their entire world beside the main cast who traveled from another world, and with that their last hope is also gone.
I watched the walkthrough of this game and I like it. I never played or heard any final Fantasy game before. I watched its' walkthrough and then played FFXV also. Although I was born in 2001, I love all the old games too. This game FF13 was very good game with good soundtrack. This song is also found in FF15 car radio. So soothing and amazing this song is. Makes you feel fantasised. Out of the world music by Masahi Hamauzu
Looking at how desolated the village of Oerba was, all in shambles, covered in sand, broken roads and bridges, rusted buildings and things that helps them live in prosperity now obstructed and rusted. Cie'th roaming and wandering around that was once their home. How tragic this was especially when Vanille and Fang got hit hard when they looked down below towards their home, now broken and covered in sand, all color, gone....
This hits right in the middle of the heart mah boi... right in the center, beautiful and at the same time so sad, like a last kiss to your dear beloved.
I can imagine myself naked wandering through the sparkling mists of a frozen valley, my nipples hardened by the biting winter air. This sweet agony gives way to bliss as I succumb to the lose of sensation in my mortal coil and I open my spirit to reclaim it's place in the crystal skies that lie above.
Still remember playing 13-2 first (since it was on sale best buy) loved it. Had to go buy 13 when i saw battfield (at the time) on sale as well. Still great, not as good as 13-2 imo. Had to get lightning's return day 1. Man was it fun too even if i missed having a party, but really highlights how badass lightning is as a one man army paradigm shifting with outfits
@@Othillde there is A LOT of NieR tracks that I think similar to this. One of them is "Fleeting words" you can try listen to some of the original Sountracks and search for other tracks because in my opinion, over 70% of NieR tracks are superb.
Semeru mountain and village around it theme , right about now..the eruption from that mountain turned all of the people into Dust.and also the legendary bridge that's broken down..(silver gladak) may I pray that their souls would be rest in peace..
Any space footage or looking through artists' depiction of space it reminds me of this song. A world out there in any of those paintings/pictures/videos is just another world just like us. Waiting for us to discover it or them to discover us.
Final Fantasy X = Return to Zanarkand ruins - A Someday the Dream Will End (Fleeting Dream) Nobuo Uematsu + Masashi Hamauzu I suppose that Hamauzu was inspired by that
Ironically one of the best FF games out there this game was really great and fun all the way to the very end and it Definitely didn't need any sequel those sequels were pointless and they add nothing to the main story of the first game Overall i love this game very much can't say the same about its sequels tho
