This is the track that was renamed Battle on the Big Bridge for the Black Mages album, which is my favorite track on the CD, and the original song is also my favorite track on the Final Fantast V OST. Overall, though, I found the FFV OST kind of disappointing; there's not nearly as many tracks on it that I really like as there are with most of FF soundtracks.
After having heard both the FFIV and FFVI soundtracks before this one, though, I can kind of see the transition between the themes of FFIV and FFVI; FFV's themes are similar to FFIV's, but they also feature other sounds that FFVI borrowed from, making FFV's soundtrack seem almost like a cross between the two. You can also see the progression of the sound quality as Square got better with the SNES's sound capabilities over the years; if you listen to the OSTs for FFIV, then FFV, then FFVI, and finally Chrono Trigger, you can really notice the improvement from game to game.

Anyway, I guess I'll also use this post for a quick update on what I've been doing lately, since I haven't posted anything else for a while. Basically, I've been playing PlanetSide ... and not doing much else. My brother finally agreed to pay half of the monthly fee, so I went out and bought it a few days ago; $6.50 each per month isn't bad, and we're getting the first month free.
I still can't wait for Metroid Prime 2 Echoes to be released on the 17th, though. And then I'll be getting together with a friend on the 19th, so I'll also get to try out multiplayer almost right away. But then I'll have both MP2 and PlanetSide vying for my free time, so don't expect to see me online much for a while, heh. I still check up on my section of OB, however, so if you really need to contact me, PM me or use e-mail, which I also still check nearly every day; just don't expect to catch me on AIM very much.
Though speaking of free time, I'm fast running out of it at the moment. I've put off a writing assignment for school till today, my last day to work on it, so I guess I'd better do it. Whee for procrastination and the distracting powers of PlanetSide.
