Traumatizing Videogame experience?

That music was so suitably creepy and disturbing that I refused to go through that part of the game without muting the sound first. Even today it still freaks me out. A similiar experience occured when you were inside the SHINra HQ in FFVII. Yes, that music was also creepy (I think it's called 'A Trail of Blood'), but that didn't freak me out as much as the one in SoM did.

*shudder*

I think that's when you had to go and rescue Dyluck, right? I was scared of the music there too, and I hated playing this part at night. And I felt the same way about the scenes and music you mentioned for FFVII.

I remember playing it at night and being freaked out. I didn't have nightmares, per se, but yanno. It's a testament to Mr. Uematsu's ability to pull you into the world and its atmosphere. Creepy, but good.

I had a lot of nightmares playing Illusion of Gaia when I was younger. Some of the music was scary, and the situations too. Man, going into Mu at 1 am in the morning is not a good way to get a good night's sleep!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ha ha! I guess you're a braver chicken than I! I still get freaked out over video games with scary music. Heck, just listening to the song in the SOM soundtrack still gets to me.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
