It Will Always Be...

Over the past weekend, I have been doing some research on Final Fantasy Series (From Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy X-2, Final Fantasy XII and supposedly the last installment, Final Fantasy XIII) and believe me, the results never fail to mesmerize me. Of all the games I have played, Final Fantasy is definitely the only one that impressed me most. One reason why I treasure it is because of the songs, ever so melodious and there is this indescribable feeling injected into the song by the singers and of course the well-known Final Fantasy composer, Nobuo Uematsu. His contribution to make Final Fantasy still popular today is beyond measure. Truly, he is as if the heart and soul of Final Fantasy. This song, "1000 words" from Final Fantasy X-2, composed by the man himself, simply grabs my attention when I listen to it. There is just so much feelings in the song that it overwhelms me to an extent that I have to keep on listening.

One fine day, I will purchase Playstation 2 and collect all the Final Fantasy Series on that platform. Call me nuts if you want but think about it, wouldn't you do the same if you want something that really change your lives or where you can find comfort in? And one more thing, I'm not a fanatic. There would never be a day when I'll dress up as one of the characters and appear in some 'cos-play party'. I just love Final Fantasy for the way it is presented and all the original works it offers. Somehow, it gives me the strength, drive, optimism, inspiration, comfort, peace and life which I can draw from throughout my days.

You know, alone on Valentine's Day and the boredom of Chinese New Year were not so bad with these songs ringing in my ears. At least, there is something I can do and appreciate just by listening intently and let the music flow through me. This day, I promise I will always cherish Final Fantasy songs... no matter the time, no matter the place and even if Final Fantasy became just a remnant or broken pieces of history in the future. It will always be a part of me...always...

For all who made Final Fantasy to what it is today, " Thank you and keep adding up the layers of harmony..."
