Yet when you consider the feat of the format such music was played on at its time from a non-classically trained musician like Nobuo (he never actually majored in music and apparently is completely self taught, meaning he wouldn't have the same upbringing with Western Tonal systems like we would) I feel that VI is a bit more amazing. Listening to V's OST and then to VI, you are completely blown away by the leap in quality. A level of quality that stays consistent afterwards into the Sony generation, including IX .
