      I remember being sooooooo young and using a baby monitor and a karaoke machine to record the songs onto tape (the karaoke being my sister's who lived upstairs and the SNES being in the basement). With the Internet I learned that the soundtrack could be had on CD. My dad got it for me as a gift. It was $45 shipped from Japan.
      I think that was 7th grade. 😂 Such a damn good album and something that Distant Worlds did an awesome job turning in to symphonic masterpieces.

    Do you remember these days? The days when Final Fantasy was a play on Dungeons and Dragons? When the music was so soulful and emotional that it's been immortalized in so many ways? When priority was given to the writing and the story, not the flashing effects, bloom, and shakeycam? When the protagonists were more complexed than a scowl, or an emo fringe? When the developers understood that the conflict of Light and Dark meant more than just if a light switch was turned on or off?
    I miss the days of Final Fantasy 6. God I miss them so much.

    TES! Final Fantasy holds a special place in my heart. Endless weekends, me n my friends DEEP in walkthroughs. Playing for literally 48 hrs straight.. oh the hours put into each release. I only made it to 13 and have every release available in the U.S. I remember when I got the FF13 xbox elite on my birthday from my parents right after I went and bought one myself. Kept em both.. lol. Anyways, I love all of the storylines of each one but I have to give it to 7. Hands down FFVII. Ya gotta do a breakdown. I cannot express the level of impact it had on me at the time. Put it this way, I will still watch gameplay on YT to revisit that memory. You can even borrow my copy if ya need to . Lol

    Final Fantasy VI is the greatest Final Fantasy game of the entire franchise, YES it’s my opinion, but damn!!
    Just that final sequence in this video of the epilogue where the heroes just finished slaying Kefka, and are all working together to leave Kefka’s Tower is just a scene that gives me goosebumps/chills and can definitely make a grown man shed a tear with how beautifully written the characters are, and how they interact with each other as the music in the background of that epilogue scene wonderfully hammers it in the emotional strings being pulled with the characters and perfect timing masterfully tells you a story with the names of the characters being displayed within the epilogue’s end credits that show us all the main cast of characters that we took this long journey with, and witnessing the long good-bye just as the characters are all just being themselves as they are working together to try and find a good easy way out of Kefka’s Tower after they slayed him & put an end to his Nihilistic rule.
    I still get chills while watching the end of the game’s story, it’s so emotionally amazing.

    In case you did not know, you can actually recruit Mog much sooner, back in the World of Balance! After Terra regains her memories, in Narshe, visit the rightmost house thst had a locked chest. The Lone Wolf will allear and pick the lock and grab the chest's contents and runs off. Go north in Narshe to chase after him.
    Walk all the way to frozen esper and you'll find Lone Wolf taking a moogle hostage, demanding you to hold still or he'll kill it. If you wait, the moogle will break free and both will fly off on opposite directions and dangle on the sides of the cliff. The Lone Wolf will inform you you'll never get this Gold Hairpin (relic that cuts MP consumption by 50%).
    If you talk to the moogle, you'll recruit Mog and the Lone Wolf will fall off, not seen again until World of Ruin. If you talk to the Lone Wolf, youll nab the Hold Hairpin and both will fall, both not seen again until the World of Ruin.
