Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uematsu says of all the projects he worked on there was something special about Final Fantasy VI that he can't put his finger on!
"In fact, for me too there is something special about VI.
Strangely enough, there is no particular reason this way or that but, of all the projects that I have been involved in until now, VI was strangely like I was able to put my all into it. I mean, I always give my all, but the team itself really had a concentrated energy. I can't put my finger on why that was."

Remembering the legendary Japanese actor, Toshiro Mifune (三船 敏郎), who passed away 28 years ago today.
Akira Kurosawa (黒澤 明), who was too ill to attend Mifune's funeral, sent a letter which was recited at the funeral.
Here is an excerpt from that letter:
"We were part of the golden age of Japanese Cinema together. When I look back at each and every film, I couldn't have made them without you. You gave so much of yourself. Thank you my friend. For one last time over a bottle of sake, I wish I could have told you all this. Goodbye, my friend. I'll see you soon."
Less than a year later, Akira Kurosawa passed away.

Kefka’s Tower (FFVI) is one of my favorite final dungeons.
It is accessible for all Act II, but rewards players who search for friends. Teams cooperate to progress.
Bangin' music. Opening synth evokes horror, then becomes a march with rocking bass riff and Terra-esque strings.

Yearnings of the Wind (CT) was when I knew Chrono Trigger was different.
The opening pizzicato exudes unsettling familiarity. Players recognize where they are, but the darker tone and swirling clouds confirm something is different.
The strings then soften, reducing tension.

Corey thought his hometown was quiet — until he found the alien Starcore armor.
What he unleashed reveals a hidden alien presence and puts him in the crosshairs of a ruthless government mercenary unit bent on taking the armor and erasing the truth.

One of the best line deliveries ever..
Tim Curry barely holding back laughter and it’s absolutely hilarious.
