To Zanarkand: Me being a nerd. again.


Nobuo Uematsu is a genius. After playing Final-Fantasy VIII and hearing those tight beats I was in love. And now almost 10 years later I still am. I can listen to it and know exactly what boss I was fighting or what forest I was in. I study best to the FFVIII soundtrack and probably always will. I LOVE it. From beginning to end, the beats are tight. Alex and I played this game so hard. Our Brady Games strategy guide was falling apart, which was fine because we really didn't need it. We knew every monster, HP, MP, weaknesses etc. Something about that game and those characters I will always love no matter how much people try and hate.

Wikipedia says, "Eyes on Me" sold a shitload of copies "placing it as the best-selling video game music disc ever released in that country until "Hikari" by Utada Hikaru for Kingdom Hearts." That's not bad company, not at all.

And if you didn't know already the FFVIII track"Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec" is an anagram for "Succession of Witches" and "Love". try it. cool right?

Also, Final Fantasy X. Good. "Suteki da ne" and "To Zanarkand" being my favorites. haha oh yeah and the Song of the Fayth. I also like the intensity of the crazy German "Otherworld". Haha.

From Final Fantasy X-2 which Nobuo had no part in, obviously; but seriously one of my all time favorites is "Eternity ~ Memory of Lightwaves"/"Eternity ~Memories of Waves and Light". I liked it so much, I even learned how to play it on the piano.

We do know that Real Emotion and 1000 words are tight beats, especially during karaoke.

This is how I avoid studying.

also, you know my squall ring got messed up. that will be getting replaced. also, i will find somewhere to put wings on my body. somehow. i want my PS.

Really?

FF8 and FF10 are my faves, too. Love the music for both.

I was actually just listening to "Succession of Witches", the Piano Version, and was imagining someone rapping to it. I think it could be pulled off and sound kickass!

So I googled it and found your page. Cheers!
