Personally I would like to know how much experience he has in arranging and orchestration. I love a lot of his music, but I don't know if that's more due to his orchestrators' effort than his own.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Is that what you gleaned from my suggestion? Yikes.

Proof please.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This is mainly what I'd like confirmation on: whether what we hear in the game is completely his work.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Couldn't have been said better. Game soundtracks mean almost nothing to me if I haven't heard them in their original contexts (playing the game). I've had nearly all of the FF scores for a very long time, but never listened to them until recently, when I actually started playing the games. Now I can't stop listening to VII and VIII, while I never listen to IX or X (having not played IX or X yet). It's a very interesting psychological effect.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I was speaking idiomatically.

So you're saying that nostalgia is the only reason VGM outside of the game is meaningful?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
