I wonder if anyone born in another generation could understand what it's like to get goosebumps from a video game? Of course the stories in each of these games are superb, the characters "human" (in the sense that we can relate to them), but what really ties it together would have to be the soundtrack.
The music of Final Fantasy 3 is so excellent.. it almost brings a tear to my eye every time i hear the ending theme. The music is connected to the characters so deeply that i can't separate the two.
The music in Final Fantasy 7 has the same effect on me, and every time i play that game through it draws closer in my esteem to the greatness of FF3.. they may be equals some day.
I'm not trying to leave out the other great games of the series (there are a few), but i wanted to focus on these two, as they are the greatest works in electronic medium.
