Hmm.. How did I become 'obsessed' with FF music. Well, it happened about the same way as Abe Babe. I really liked the Aeris theme (beautiful song with that excellent flute/piccolo in between sections) and the music used whenever you fight a boss(some kick-ass techno!).
I also liked that song Birth Of A God (is that the name?) and that song used when you fight the final form of Jenova (forgot the name of the song). The mix of digitally generated notes and an orchestra created a really cool song. That song used for the battle with Bizaro Sephiroth.
As for later, I got swept away in FF8 music... particularly Eyes On Me and all the variations and remixes. My favourites are the voiced version (Faye Wong has a lovely singing voice) and the ballroom type version (the one used as background music when Squall is at that SeeD inaguration party/ceremony. The strings in that were truly excellent). I also liked the different types of music used for the 4 battles with Ultimecia. There was this orchestral music, which then slowly changed into different orchestral song (like what Stravinsky used for the Firebird Ballet). And then, suddenly, when you fight the Ultimecia/Griever hybrid thing, it changes to this contemporary techno music and then finally (through the clever use of background noise like the falling comet thingies in the background etc.) changes to the song used for the final, faceless version of Ultimecia (Time Compression was it? I'm not sure) which was like the Birth Of A God: a mixture of digital music (electric guitars, keyboard noises/chords) and orchestral and chamber music.
