    I was there.
    I was there when the four warriors of light crossed the bridge to Corneria after defeating the evil Garland.
    I was there when Cloud and Barret fought their way into the Mako reactor.
    I was there when Sephiroth entered the very life force of the planet.
    I was there when Cecil rode the chocobo back from Mount Ordeals with Tellah, Palom and Porom in tow, after forever abandoning his dark sword outside the shrine at it's peak.
    I was there when Cyan, Sabin, and Shadow fled from Doma Castle through the Phantom Forest on the train to the afterlife.
    I was there when Bartz dueled courageously against the mighty yet eccentrically odd Gilgamesh at the Big Bridge.
    I was there through every moment of joy, grief, hope, despair, desperation, and determination against impossible odds that each song in this medley calls to mind. I could never expect another human being to understand the intensity of the thrill of adventure and the call to heroism that these songs bring to mind every single time I hear them, but I followed each of these heroes to their ultimate destinies, walked with them through their trials and hardships, endured their sorrows, learned their life lessons, celebrated their victories great and small, and saved their worlds armed only with a d-pad controller and their aid. I WAS THERE!

      Dude. That comment could possibly go down in history as one of the most articulate and inspiring message about a video game ever. You completely captured what it means to play these games in only 20 lines of text, and you have made me proud to say the same: I WAS THERE!

    * continued* music combined with images or what you are doing in the game is utterly astounding! This man not only did this for the games themselves. But to perform like this, and with his group The Black Mages, just shows his soul and passion for his creation. I love all the music in the games. I replay the games all the time because of this. May this man continue for a long time to bring us music. Arigato Uematsu-san.
