I've already got a set of custom music for most of FFH's leaders, taken from my various soundtracks (FFVII, Bioshock, Kingdom Hearts II, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Oblivion), but I'm stealing the ones for:
  • Perpentach (I never thought I'd hear one better then his current... I like what you found, though. It's a bit light-hearted, but somehow, that fits Perp)
  • Faeryl (nothing I had seemed to fit... although I'm still not sure of this one, it's an improvement)
  • Tasunke (same as before)
  • Basium (but I'm using it for Decius, especially since Lost Painting from SOTN fits Basium too well IMHO)
  • Charadon (I had been using a battle theme from Oblivion, but what you have for Charadon is way more Doviello)
  • Cardith Lorda (but for the Bannor; it's too militaristic for the Kuriotates)
  • Falamar (I'd been using the battle tune from the Pirates of the Caribbean world in KH2, but it always felt way out of place)
  • Garrim Gyr (I was going to stick with what I had at first, but the more I listened, the more I liked it. Really, I'm a sucker for piano.)
I'd use the ones you picked for Einoin Logos, Arcturus Thorne, Flauros and Dain the Casselwain if I wasn't already so satisfied with the replacement tracks I'm using for them now.

You definetly wanna re-roll on Hannah, though. Try "Pirate seas chaos battle" or some such. Something piratical, something warlike, and maybe something Lovecraftian. I mean, really! This woman would eagerly slit your throat for a few gold coins! She's the chosen of the Octopus Overlords, the twisted nightmares of a slumbering god! She's the Kraken of the Fields, not some new-age music loving softy!

About Cassiel: I always pictured him being less new age and more... Jewish? Something about the the idealogy, his original music and of course the flag. I don't know why, but whenever I hear his "original" theme, it reminds me of a synagogue. IMHO, a replacement should do the same.

Amelanchier's theme should have a slight edge of savagery, if you ask me. There is nothing "gentle" about Amelanchier. Remember his pedia entry? Where he kills a holy priest (although with a good reason)? This is not a tree-hugging elf, my friend. This is a hunter and a warrior, the sort of man that could probably earn the respect of the Doviello.

Somehow, I see Tebryn standing upon the ruins of a modern city when I hear what you picked for him...

I think that the song you picked for Decius actually fits Cardith Lorda better, and vice versa.

Alexis' theme actually sounds a bit Balseraph for some reason... it's the laughing/screaming. Anyways, I'd say switch Alexis' and Flauros' themes around. Each matches the other perfectly.

And if anyone has the FFVII soundtrack themselves, trust me: try giving the Sheaim "Those Chosen by Planet." The very first time I played FfH, I found myself humming it when dealing with the Sheaim, even before I changed their soundtrack to it.

Oh, and where have I heard Hyborem's theme before? I feel like I should know, and I'll feel like a fool, but I can't quite place it.
Great Northern Cave could probably fit somewhere. Slow and portending of imminent disaster. But, yeah, Those Chosen By the Planet fits real well, especially, for plot similarity reasons, for Os-Gabella.
 
IMO Tebryn's ROCKS! I'm mostly saying that though because I recognize the track and it's from one of my favorite games :P Honestly though, I think it does fit him well.
 
I misunderstood your thread too. Yeah, awesome music, I don't have time to offer a rank, but yeah, some are clearly great and others not-so-great, so definitely think this through.
 
Great thread and excellent music selection. It's always nice to discover such large music exists outside my tiny world.
I had to choose Keelyn (other) for best fit. Eerie!
 
Can't say alot of the tracks I listened to really fit with the game. Way too upbeat for the most part. When I listened to Dain's theme I felt like I was on my way to Hogwarts or some other children's school of magic. Just doesn't seem like you really consulted the pedia for some of them esp. Amelanchier and Auric Ulvin.
 
This only is my opinion :) :

Alexis - 7 original is better
Amel - 6 it fits but not a great song
Aren - 9 great song could fit with ethne too!
Artur - 7 good
Auric - 2 doesnt fit but good song
Basium - 10 excellent but the original too!!!
Beeri - 8 very good
Capria - 8 very good
Cardith - 4 doesn't fit but good song
Cassiel - 10 idem than basium!
Charadon - 7 nice start bad end : cut it!
Dain - 2 horrible fitting and the original is so excellent
Decius - 10 perfect
Einon - 9 excellent
Ethne - 5 it fits but very boring song
Faeryl - 9 excellent
Falamar - 5 original is not great too but more fitting
Flauros - 9 very good
Garrim gyr - 7 good
Hannah - 1 hannah is not an angel...but the song is pretty good
hyborem - 3 not demoniac enough for hyborem, the first part could fit for Auric!
Jonas - 0 where is the uglyness!!! (ur tebryn theme could fit very well)
Kandros - 5 hmmm i really dont know...
Keelyn - 7 i prefer the original theme
Malaha - 5 2nd part is not evil enough
Os - 9 very good
Perp - 8 fits perfectly (i prefer mine ;))
Rhoanna - 10 excellent (and mine too ;))
Sab - 8 good
Sando - 5 strange, why not! i prefer the original one
Sheelba - 3 not evil enough
Tas- 8 very good but i prefer the original theme by far!
Teb - 8 good
Thessa - 9 fits perfectly
Vale - 7 i only like the intro
Varn - 2 i dislike this song and original is perfect!
 
Everyone has their preferences for music styles, and it's hard to seperate preference from artisanship. Rhoanna's music shows good musicianship, but poor composition. It's too dull, and the transition too sudden. MY presonal preference goes to Charadon's tune.
 
I will close the link to the themes now since its been a long time for any replies and someone decided to start downloading them just recently. Thanks for everyone who replied earlier :)
