Now, I may no longer worship FFIX like I once did but I will not for a second deny how completely and utterly satisfied I was when i first beat it. It's an indescribable feeling to watch Final Fantasy IX's ending for the first time. So many thoughts, so many feelings, so much love...
And Melodies of Life was a huge part of that. And given that I live in America and only speak 'murrican, I heard it in English.
Then I get online and hear people say they don't like the English version at all.
WHAT UP WIT DAT?
And also, I own (or rather, owned, for a decade or so) the FF S-Generation Album, which contained the Japanese version of Melodies of Life. I heard it, it was good, but I just don't understand the whining about the English version.
