    Not directly part of Square-Enix. Nobuo Uematsu got them done.

    What do you mean
    "Swordchucks Yo." - Fighter

    "Every time I cast Hadoken it siphons a little bit of love out of the world to create a massive destructive explosions. They say the divorce rate goes up with each cast." - BM

    How many swords could sword chucks chuck if sword chucks could chuck swords? Same goes with Nuns! :rolleyes2

    "I cast Ice-9!" -RM

    "I can steal stuff that isn't even there" -Thief (Yet he can't steal in the game)

    wow I didn't know he actually played keyboard himself in that. i don't think this guy could write a bad theme if he tried.

    I don't think Meridian Dance was composed by Uematsu though
    Problems playing downloaded videos? Try CCCP

    I dunno, I guess the FFIII boss music, and the FFIV boss music would be good, though seems kind of hard in a rock theme, but who knows.

    Better yet, I'd rather have a new great game released with music by Nobuo and company. A game called Gun Hazard had some awesome music by him, and it even looked a lot like FFVI. And it was an action game. We need more games like this.

    My favourite is Jenova and Those who fight further.

    Maybe I'm a lion wasn't that good.

    I have One winged angel though.

    The second album was more experimental, which was a good in some places and not so good in others, especially when they started using vocals.

    I like the Black Mages. Even some of the songs they do that just mimic the original, it just sounds much better being played by actual instruments than in MIDI or whatever format. I was very surprised by how much better Dancing Mad and J-E-N-O-V-A sounded in that fashion.

    I would like to hear them do a chocobo song, the one from FFVIII would probably suit them the most, but just do a chocobo song. I think The Sword of Doubt might sound good in a rocked style, and maybe The Extreme. Songs from the earlier FFs sound good when they redo them, it's just that I kind of can't tell beforehand that they would, the constrast is only apparant in hindsight.
