I think the song fits (sorta) in the moment, huggin' in the cockpit and whatnot. There's absolutely no way I'd listen to that song outside of the game's context, though -- don't really care for it. Still, not a bad fit for that one scene.

Generally the Orchastrated comes first. I mean look at the Game OST's, I highly dought those came out as Midi's.Quote:

up to that point he was still only a game music programmer. A great one, but he was by no means above the rest. Until eyes on me, i would say, that's when he came into a class of his own and it's probably the reason he was able to become so successful outside of games. It was the milestone.

process of game programmers, much less Japanese ones.
Regardless, it still doesn't change the fact that he was a MIDI programmer up to this point.
Yes, I may not be the best Judge, however it seems far more likely he composed them, or at least wrote up the compositions, before making the Midis. And HE wasn't just a Midi Programer.
Music of Final Fantasy IV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1994, An FF IV Soundrack composed, arranged, produced and performed by Nobuo Uematsu.
FF VIII wasn't released until 1999. So no, we was not Just a MIDI Programer before that. He's been a popular composer for a while now.
They list motion-capture actors, but not voice actors. If they *did* have voice-acting in that scene, then the internet would be filled with millions of geeks condemning Squaresoft to eternal damnation for ripping the hearts out of their American customers by denying them this most crucially important feature in their version of the game...Quote:

I found the song was just in the wrong place.........I mean the Ragnarok scene is kinda morbid, they're both all sad and this happy little love song starts playing...I really really preferred the orchestral version.
I also didn't like the normal version of Suteki da Ne either I always preferred the orchestral versions they play at the end!
I know a song that's cheesier than Eyes on Me...and that's 1000 Words. Want cheese? Look no further. I didn't even like the orchestral version and that's saying something.
In my opinion the best FF "song" made was Aria di Mezzo from FF6. Just cos it's opera ;)
I thought it was okay though could have been in a more apropriate place
I thought it was totally appropriate; (SPOILER)Squall just saved Rinoa and they where heading back to Gaia, it actually got me a bit misty eyed at the time, first game to do so :o.
At that time I was into pretty much just metal/rock bands like Korn, Slipknot, Metallica etc. After this game (my first final fantasy) I've greatly expanded my music tastes.
Faye Wong has a brilliant voice and singing style.
I very much liked Eyes on Me. I agree that its timing is a little strange on the ragnorak though... but hey like gothic fantasy said - there's much worse and cheesier songs in ff's history than this one!
its brilliant! and it fits in perfectly, its the best ff "theme" really brings back memories hearing it.
I think 'Eyes on Me' is good but not the best! I think it was a cleaver idea to put a song in the middle of that scene otherwise I'd die when I'd be playing it for the 18th time! :D
It's timing was completely appropriate.
Chico y chica hanging loose after a desperate struggle for survival and then salvation, and then another desperate struggle for survival, and then finding out that someone else is going to take care of them. The emotional let down and realization that they're alone and no one else can see them makes it a perfect time to start getting intimate!
round of applause please everybody!;)Quote:
