    This was an excellent choice and I'm really glad that I had the pleasure of reading all of these articles. It looks like Jiros dark horse pick for number one took the spot!

    I enjoy the way that you put emotion into every article. What is music without emotion, after all? These were all brilliantly written pieces. Today's article hit me with a nostalgic wave when I thought of the space launch that "could have been". I enjoyed these articles so much that I plan on re-reading them in the future so I can experience the joy all over again.

    Great date to post number one, by the way Lines up with the 25th anniversary perfectly!

    I love this piece, and I'm surprised, but pleased it made your number 1.
    That piano version is just pure Final Fantasy, it almost makes my heart ache a little bit.

    I have a lot of favourite FF tunes, and this is absolutely one of them. That rock version was particularly - and I don't use this word lightly - epic.

    An excellent, if surprising, choice for best overall character theme. This was a personal favorite of mine when I first played FFVII; it's just so damn inspirational and uplifting. I remember in middle school computer class making this theme the background music for some test website I had made. The reprise is also great.

    My top three - Aeris' Theme (despite disliking the character, I adore the them), Snow's Theme, Sephiroth - that is, One Winged Angel. You got the least known one of those three in there, and for that, you get massive kudos.

    Sending a Dream Into the Universe is my single most loved track on that OST. I had a feeling you would appreciate it for the same reasons I do. The ability for Cid's tracks to convey that duality, the sort of fierce and powerful main theme and then the solemn longing of the other shows that he's not just an angry guy because it's funny, he's a well developed character with emotions and dreams.

    A bit surprised when I heard the top one, but at the end, I'm glad you selected Cid's Theme, because like all the characters' themes, this one definately describes him well.

    Ah, hearing the original song brings me back memories when I first heard of Cid. Yeah, I thought he was kind of a dead-beat man who mistreat his wife. But after getting to know his troubles and his dreams, I understood why he is the way he is now. In fact, I had grow to like him because I know how he feels of having dreams come true. Those themes you provided in your articles made me remind that.
