I wouldn't mind an HD re-release of Parasite Eve on current platforms. I'd really liked to revisit that game. I remember that game having such a chilling atmosphere and great music. Also, Aya Brea was such a badass.

Happy 35th Anniversary Final Fantasy

35 years ago a man name Hironobu Sakaguchi wanted to create a RPG game which will become one the most influential video game of all time. During the 80s the company called square was on a verge of bankruptcy. So the people at Square decided their final game will be a RPG.

Release on December 18 1987 Final Fantasy was born. Which began a gaming franchise that will continue to live on in spinoff,movie,merchandise and Etc.

35 years later it has capture the imagination of gaming around the world. Ever since 1987 when the four warrior of light cross the bridge to began their journey to restore the light and extinguished the darkness.

Thank you Hironobu Sakaguchi,Nobuo Uematsu,Yoshitaka Amano for 35 years of Final Fantasy

How much of a role do you think Sakaguchi had when creating FF7?

Probably quite a bit. I mean, this was kind of Square's golden era, right? They were coming in hot, right after Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger. I may not have loved it a whole lot, but many people consider Final Fantasy VI part of where the franchise peaked, and Chrono Trigger was a legendary collaboration with the people behind Dragon Quest, which was also at its peak around this time, so it was kind of destined to be a game that shook the pillars of creation.

Square slid right into production on Final Fantasy VII after that and as I understand it they kind of went for broke. They heavily invested in extremely expensive computer graphics workstations in what was basically an all-or-nothing approach. If Final Fantasy VII failed, it might have actually killed the company.

The urban legend is that Final Fantasy VII's themes draw from Hironobu Sakaguchi's experiences he had when dealing with the death of his mother. If you do some searching about that, many are quick to debunk this, claiming his mother died in 1988, during the production of Final Fantasy III. But Sakaguchi's own words say that his mother's death made him think about the concept of life, and legacy, and what happens to us after we die. Just because his mother died in 1988 doesn't mean such an event couldn't have influenced the production of Final Fantasy VII. Though a lot of Final Fantasies notably feature the death of significant characters, VII, more than most, is explicitly focused on death and the afterlife.

The whole thing is that all of the villains are trying to use the souls of the dead as fuel to drive progress into their vision of the future. Doing this kills the planet itself and fosters the creation of dangerous monsters. Sephiroth is literally driven to insanity by his deceased mother's legacy. It asks us whether or not we can let go and forge our own path without our loved ones by our side.

I can't personally speak to just how involved Sakaguchi actually was, but it definitely reads like themes he'd be thinking about, at least.

Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec: Final Fantasy VIII. (Final Fantasy VIII- Orchestra Version). SSCX-10037 (1999), SQEX-10025, Re-release, 2004. Made in Japan.

Composed, Arranged and Produced by Nobuo Uematsu.

Orchestrated by Shirou Hamaguchi.

It is a very simple edition. 1 Audio CD with orchestrated versions of 13 pieces from the FFVIII Soundtrack. Lenght: 1:04:12. Transparent CD case, and white tray. The disc itself is also very simple, lacking any images on it.

Includes a booklet. Good quality, matte paper. The printing quality is also very good. I can’t read japanese, so I can’t tell what it says. At the final pages, there are lyrics for “Eyes On Me” (English), and for “Liberi Fatali” (Latin).

It shows various pictures (most of them black and white) of Nobuo Uematsu, Shirou Hamaguchi, and Hironobu Sakaguchi (Creator of the FF franchise).

Original MSRP was 2,718 yen, around $20 USD (current exchange rate, August, 2022). I paid close to $45 USD (New), including shipping from Japan and taxes, and, most likely, a markup from the seller. I’m unaware of whether this album is still being made or not.

I’m listening to it as I write. Amazing, in every sense. It brings back good memories. Not like I’m about to cry or anything. Something got in my eye. Track 12 “Ending Theme” is a master piece. I can’t help but smile.

Some of these versions were unknown to me. If Square Enix ever remakes FFVIII this is how the new soundtrack would have to sound.

Nostalgia can be a bad partner, but what about anti-nostalgia? What is the value of the things we leave behind? Why does “Final Fantasy” approach the JRPG genre in a different way? What does it have in common with “Star Wars”?
