    Probably the most engrossing story of any video game of all time. The music was done by Yasunori Mitsuda, who also did Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. He's probably an even stronger composer than Nobuo Uematsu, if not as prolific.

    i agree, i love mitsuda. the work he did on chrono trigger is the best of the best of jrpg soundtracks. nobuo did some of the soundtrack for that too, i know he was involved in the music for the reptite lair, but i'm not sure what else he did. I never finished Chrono Cross but I always thought that world map song was really gorgeous, i think it's the Another World theme.

    for me, Final Fantasy 9 is Nobuo's crowning achievement. also, Dancing Mad >>>>>> One-Winged Angel. Not that sephiroth's theme isn't baller as fuck, but Dancing Mad is like Bach meets The Joker, so damn good.

    someone i know described Xenogears as the Tolstoy of JRPGs... I'm down with that description, haha. That prologue alone is heartbreaking.
    Free your mind and your ass will follow.
