Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec: Final Fantasy VIII[Audio CD, 1 Disc]
Source: Final Fantasy VIII [PS1]
Composer: Nobuo Uematsu, Shiro Hamaguchi
Release Date: 1999
Label: DigiCube
Nobuo Uematsu did some fantastic composition work on the soundtrack to Final Fantasy VIII, arguably making the soundtrack the greatest asset of the game. In this arrangement album, Nobuo Uematsu and Shiro Hamaguchi use a full orchestra and even utilize some operatic vocal work to faithfully expand upon the original soundtrack. This approach offers a lot more depth to the original tracks and gives them an invigorated but familiar feel. Despite the wordiness of the title, Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec: Final Fantasy VIII is a very straightforward and listenable album. The arrangements are masterful and definitely up to Uematsu's usual standards.
