Re: I must disagree with it in one regard

For memorability, you can't touch Chrono Trigger. Squaresoft took a huge chance by letting Yasunori Mitsuda into the CT dream team to compose the majority of the music, and he worked his ass off to let everybody know he was worth it. I read a rumor that he was putting in 20+ hour days at the Squaresoft production studio for months and months, drinking several bottles of sake a day, which eventually led to a stomach ulcer and extremely poor health. In the end, Nobuo Uematsu was brought in to finish the remaining tracks, but the amount of effort Mitsuda put in before he got sick left the game with an extremely polished, original, near-perfect soundtrack.
How dare you disagree with me! You are banned for eternity!
Hmm... didn't fool anyone, eh? Okie dokie then. I personally wasn't much of a fan of the Secret of Mana music. Most of the music was extremely busy with loads of percussion and that just doesn't appeal to me. I'm primarily a classical musician so Final Fantasy 3 appeals more to me because of all the real instruments it used, while Secret of Mana doesn't really try for real instruments at all. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just personal preference. The most memorable tune for me in Secret of Mana was the temple theme which used the twangy percussion with eastern harmonics. At least it sounded like eastern harmonics, I'd need to bust out a tuner to verify it. At any rate it's something you rarely hear in games.
