4.0 out of 5 stars The music is great but some tracks are too short., April 4, 2007

This album is a very good sampling of music from FFXII; it captured pretty much all of the tunes from the game that I was hoping to hear. It contains 31 tracks and over an hour of music. It is a good deal if you don't want to spend ungodly amounts of money on the full multi-disc set that is out there. This "Selections" version also comes with another disc that contains a video for the "Kiss Me Goodbye" song, but it was a one-time viewing for me since i've never understood how lame songs like that end up on these Final Fantasy soundtracks. They just don't belong.

Anyway, my only problem with this collection of music is that some of the tracks are a little too abbreviated. I own the full set of FFX music, and one of the good things about that set is that they automatically repeated some of the shorter tracks so that it feels like you're listening to a real song---as a result, some of my favorite tracks, which would otherwise be only a minute and a half, are about 3-4 minutes long. Unfortunately, they didn't take that route with this disc. Some of the best tracks in the collection, such as "The Salikawood" and "Nalbina Fortress," end up being only about a minute and a half long, which just feels too short when you are listening to the whole soundtrack.

All in all, though, i would still recommend this soundtrack for big FFXII fans.

I loved the game and I really love the soundtrack just as much. Nobou Uematsu is the premeier composer in video games and I thought his departure would hurt the game as Square went to Nintendo.

Maybe square enix lucked out but this soundtrack is great for anyone that ever liked any music from Mozart, Tchaikovski or Beethoven. Much more than the classical music angle I love hearing music from the game while I'm working. It makes the day go much smotther.
