5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking Vocals, November 27, 2002

This review is from: Final Fantasy: Pray (Audio CD)

This is an album of vocal versions of familiar Final Fantasy game tunes, from FF1 to FF6. No less than four languages are used throughout, and all are sung with gorgeous clarity by Risa (or Lisa) Ohku, the main vocalist in all of the songs. She sings in her native Japanese, and in English, French, and Portugese. The fourth song on the album, a version of the opening theme from Final Fantasy 6, is incredibly powerful and gripping. The fifth track, the love theme from FF4, is truly romantic and flowing. The final track, "Nao Chora Menhina", is wonderfully tender and soft, like a lullaby. "Once You Meet Her", is from FF3, a game not released in the States. It's sung in English and the disarmingly simple lyrics are sung with a passion and wistfulness that draws me in over and over again. It is tremendously soothing. This is one of my favorite CDs of all time, and I cannot speak highly enough of it. For fans it is a must-have, and for those new to the Final Fantasy world it should be as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Stunning...., December 6, 2003

This review is from: Final Fantasy: Pray (Audio CD)

I knew the moment I saw this CD that it would be an excellent choice to add to my collection, for although there are only two songs on the entire CD that are in English, its unique qualities emerge in the sweet, melodramatic tones only the human voice can lend. Track 4, taken from Final Fantasy 6, in itself is a masterpiece and is by far one of my favorite tracks on the CD, for the flute and the vocals definately add tremendous power to a song that was already great....

If you are a Final Fantasy fan I would recommend you look into this particular title, despite the price, for it can be found at other locations for a better deal, if that concerns you... I found it definately worth my time and money....

5.0 out of 5 stars Great combination: Vocals and Final Fantasy, July 21, 2006

This is an excellent CD of Final Fantasy music. While many songs are instrumentals, this CD shows what it would sound like if an elegant voice was added. The songs are not only selected from the diverse Final Fantasy series, but also sung in various foreign languages (English is also sung). If you enjoy Final Fantasy music, add this to your collection.
