Music of Final Fantasy X-2

{{short description|Music from the video game Final Fantasy X-2}} {{DISPLAYTITLE:Music of ''Final Fantasy X-2''}} {{Music of Final Fantasy}} The music of the video game ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]'' was composed by [[Noriko Matsueda]] and [[Takahito Eguchi]]. Regular series composer [[Nobuo Uematsu]] did not contribute any of the music, despite having composed around half of the soundtrack for the first game, ''[[Final Fantasy X]]''. The ''Final Fantasy X-2 Original Soundtrack'' was released on two [[Compact Disc]]s in 2003 by [[Avex]]. After the release of ''Final Fantasy X-2 International + Last Mission'', an album entitled ''Final Fantasy X-2 International + Last Mission Original Soundtrack'' composed of the songs added to the soundtrack for that game was released in 2003 by Avex. ''Final Fantasy X-2 Piano Collection'', a collection of [[piano]] arrangements of the original soundtracks by Noriko Matsueda, Takahito Eguchi, Hiroko Kokubu, [[Masahiro Sayama]], and Febian Reza Pane, was released by Avex in 2004.

A [[single (music)|single]] by [[Koda Kumi]] entitled ''real Emotion/1000 no Kotoba'', based on the theme song for the game and the ending credits song, was published by [[Rhythm Zone]] prior to the game's release in 2003. Another single, titled ''Kuon: Memories of Waves and Light – Music from Final Fantasy X-2'', was released by Avex in 2003 along with the original soundtrack. It consisted of live arrangements of several of the game's songs, composed and arranged by Noriko Matsueda and Takahito Eguchi. A set of three singles entitled ''Final Fantasy X-2 Vocal Collection- Paine'', ''Rikku'', and ''Yuna'' was published by Avex in 2003, with each single including vocal arrangements of songs from the game, sung by the respective character's voice actress.

The soundtrack received mixed reviews from [[Music criticism|critics]]; while several felt that the music was good and keeping in tone with the game, others found it to be odd and shallow. Several reviewers attributed the change to the lack of participation by Uematsu. ''Final Fantasy X-2 International + Last Mission Original Soundtrack'' and ''Final Fantasy X-2 Piano Collection'', on the other hand, were very well received by critics, who felt that they were far superior to the original soundtrack. The singles for the soundtrack were poorly received by critics, who found a few of the songs to be enjoyable but all of the singles to be overpriced.

==Concept and creation== ''Final Fantasy X-2'' marks the first soundtrack where former [[Square (video game company)|Square]] composer [[Nobuo Uematsu]] did not contribute a single piece, despite having composed around half of the [[Music of Final Fantasy X|soundtrack for the predecessor]], ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'', as he was already busy with other projects.<ref name="igndeveloperinterview"/> None of the pieces from the ''FFX'' soundtrack were re-used in ''X-2''. [[Noriko Matsueda]] and [[Takahito Eguchi]] were brought on board to compose the music for the game, as the developers felt they were the "perfect fit" to incorporate a "pop" style into the music.<ref name="igndeveloperinterview"/> The game includes two songs with vocalized elements, one of which, the [[J-Pop]] song "Real Emotion", was written by Ken Kato and composed by Kazuhiro Hara. The other, [[J-Pop]] [[ballad]] "1000 Words", was written by scenario writers [[Kazushige Nojima]] and [[Daisuke Watanabe]]. Matsueda and Eguchi composed and arranged the track. Both songs were sung by [[Jade Villalon]] from [[Sweetbox]] in the English version of the game, and are available as bonus tracks on the Japanese release of her album [[Adagio (Sweetbox album)|Adagio]].<ref name="u-1"/> In the Japanese version of the game both the songs were sung by [[Koda Kumi]], and were released as a single entitled ''real Emotion/1000 no Kotoba''. Kumi also released her own English versions of the songs on her CD single ''[[Come with Me (Kumi Koda song)|Come with Me]]'', with slightly different versions of the lyrics than Jade.<ref name="u-2"/>

==Singles== ===Real Emotion/1000 no Kotoba=== {{main|Real Emotion/1000 no Kotoba}} {{nihongo|"real Emotion/1000 no Kotoba"|real Emotion/1000の言葉|riaru Emōshon/Sen no Kotoba}} is a [[A-side and B-side|double A-side]] by [[Koda Kumi]], consisting of the songs "Real Emotion" and "1000 no Kotoba" (lit. "1000 words"), which are used as the opening and closing themes respectively of [[Square Enix]]'s game ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]'', which was used in a [[cut-scene]] in the game as well as its ending credits.

"1000 no Kotoba" was [[musical arrangement|arranged]] by Takahito Eguchi and Noriko Matsueda. The CD contains the two songs in addition to their instrumental versions, covering a duration of 20:02. It was published by [[Rhythm Zone]] on March 5, 2003, with the catalog number ''RZCD-45080''.<ref name="RPGFRE1000"/>

''Real Emotion/1000 Words'' was poorly received by critics, with Patrick Gann declaring himself to be "not too impressed".<ref name="RPGFRE1000"/> It sold 283,000 copies.<ref name="Oriconsales"/>

===Kuon: Memories of Waves and Light – Music from Final Fantasy X-2=== ''Kuon: Memories of Waves and Light – Music from Final Fantasy X-2'' is an arranged single consisting of the songs from the game "Kuon: Memories of Waves and Light", "Besaid", and "Yuna's Ballad", composed and arranged by Noriko Matsueda and Takahito Eguchi.

It covers a duration of 9:37 and has a catalog number of ''AVCD-30444''.<ref name="RPGFETER"/>

Gann was more receptive to the album than to "Real Emotion", feeling that the tracks were three of the best tracks from the soundtrack, and that the single was worth purchasing if only because it was the only release of arranged music from the game to date. However, he felt that for the length, the single was overpriced.<ref name="RPGFETER"/> Chris of Square Enix Music Online also felt the single was overpriced, but additionally felt that the arrangements were "unremarkable musically" and that the album as a whole was "a cheap production".<ref name="u-14"/> ''Memories of Waves and Light'' reached #32 on the Oricon charts and stayed on the charts for eight weeks.<ref name="ORIWAL"/>

===Final Fantasy X-2 Vocal Collection=== ''Final Fantasy X-2 Vocal Collection'' was a set of three singles, each consisting of two tracks sung by the voice actress for one of the main characters of the game and two instrumental tracks. The singles, ''Paine'', ''Rikku'', and ''Yuna'', were released by Avex on July 16, 2003. The songs were composed and arranged by Noriko Matsueda and Takahito Eguchi. [[Characters of Final Fantasy X and X-2#Paine|Paine]] was voiced by [[Megumi Toyoguchi]], [[Rikku]] by [[Marika Matsumoto]], and [[Yuna (Final Fantasy)|Yuna]] by [[Mayuko Aoki]]. Each single was produced with an accompanying DVD which included a music video, an interview with the voice actress, and a montage of scenes from the game. ''Paine'' covered a duration of 16:19 and had a catalog number of ''AVCD-30485/B'',<ref name="RPGFVOCALP"/> ''Rikku'' had a duration of 16:09 and a catalog number of ''AVCD-30483/B'',<ref name="RPGFVOCALR"/> while ''Yuna'' covered a duration of 18:59 and had a catalog number of ''AVCD-30481/B''.<ref name="RPGFVOCALY"/>

The ''Final Fantasy Vocal Collection'' singles received mixed reviews, with Patrick Gann praising ''Paine'' as "sophisticated" and applauding the instrumentation, while also approving of ''Yuna'', terming it "peaceful" and the best of the three.<ref name="RPGFVOCALP"/><ref name="RPGFVOCALY"/> However, he also derided ''Rikku'' as "cheesy" and disliked the lyrics of one of the two tracks from ''Paine''. Additionally, he overall found the singles to be very overpriced for the small amount of material included.<ref name="RPGFVOCALR"/> ''Paine'', ''Rikku'' and ''Yuna'' reached #30, #25, and #21 on the Oricon charts, respectively, and stayed on the charts for four, six, and seven weeks.<ref name="ORIP"/><ref name="ORIR"/><ref name="ORIY"/>

==Legacy== Unlike the music from the main ''Final Fantasy'' series, no songs from ''Final Fantasy X-2'' have been played at any of the numerous [[Final Fantasy concerts|''Final Fantasy'' concerts]]. Selections of music from the game have appeared on Japanese remix albums, called [[dojin music]], and on English remixing websites.<ref name="u-15"/>
