Well i am a music major and i have to say that the words and melody actually go together pretty well, like you said it was originally in japanese, which makes it hard to fit all that stuff together, but they a pretty good job, it doesn't seem like one of those old godzilla movies does it? Oh and about the Italian thing, I believe that the FF opera is actually loosely based off a real italian opera. And i know you guys think that it would be cool to have real words, but it wouldn't have fit very well back with those old snes graphics and 16 bit midi sound capabilities just don't really work with actual vocals, so haveing it all the same "quality" so to say made it all flow together very nice.
