Might as well review them myself, too.
1. It's not Uematsu's first pieces, but considering him working with very limited technology, not a bad effort at all. True, he could have done a LOT more, but we get to see it later in the series.
2. Love the Main Theme. As a whole, can't remember anything too noteworthy.
3. Ahhh, "Legend of the Eternal Wind," how I <3 you so. The battle themes were pretty spectacular, too. Many greats songs here, and some...well....ugh. I'd give it a 4/5.
4. VERY good songs here. Didn't know he was actually rushed here. I couldn't tell, personally. Here we finally hear a more complete version of the prelude (aka "The Crystals").
5. Not too many good songs, here, and some really awful ones, too. I'd almost say this is one of his worst tracks, personally. Only a handful really stick out.
6. I'd have to say a masterpiece here. Almost every song here created mood and ambiance and fit really well on screen. The only flaw I can think in the entire one is the main battle song because it's pretty boring as a whole. Sure, some uplifting parts, but...eh. Boss theme totally makes up for it. FF6 as a whole, regardless, was something fresh and new and entertaining. :3
7. There are some good ones, but...ummm...that's it? Main theme's okay at best, what's Cloud's theme again? I couldn't tell you. In fact, all I remember are Nanaki's and Vincet's and Aeris's themes. And of course, the one winged angel. Jenova's a little too techno. At least battle theme this time around was more entertaining. Boss...eh.
8. Some good songs but not a whole lot. Way too many boring ones, such as the overworld, battle (excluding "man with the machine gun," oddly enough), etc. Mature is a good way of putting it, but, I'd give it a 3/5 overall. Some really good ones and many forgettable ones.
9. Some beautifully memorable ones, and some okay ones. I can't seem to remember, but nothing bad. "Vala de Flamenco" was good.
10. For the most part...eh. Save for like 3 songs, the rest were just bland. Those three are "Road to Zanarkand," the battle theme, and....I guess "Sudeki-dane (sp?)."
11. I've only heard "Memoro de Stono"...remix. Loved the remix. =^.^=;;;;
12. Eh....the whole game was "eh," too.
13. Battle theme was nice..once you get to that really short exciting part. Otherwise...eh. If I could tolerate more of the game, I would critique this part better. :/
My vote goes to FF6.
