I used to do deep slow breathing while listening to “To Zanarkand”. Now whenever I need to relax or calm my thoughts I do deep breaths and just hear this melody in my head. Healing music.
Home, Sweet Home from FFV (especially the Pixel Remaster version) always gets me, but gosh you’re so right. Nothing can stir my emotions like Uematsu’s music.
I love pretty much every OC Remix, I grew up on most of the games they have covered... but that whole soundtrack, and Impresario in particular, hits SUPER hard. They absolutely nailed it.
FFVI is by far my absolute favorite game of all time, the music definitely being a good factor into that, so having so many amazing remixes and then of course The Impresario, you all deserve it.
Welcome and well met
My brave little spark
How long you've wandered
Burned bright as a star
Oh I have awaited you patiently
All this time
Past every fate
Now sing with me once more
Share of your life
Far greater than memory
Each loss and love words cannot hold
Boundless
The tale overflows
😭😭😭
Stand tall, my friend
May all of the dark deep inside you find light again
This time, tumbling, turning, we make amends
Eternal winds from the land ascend
Here to lift us that we won't end
A throooooooooooooooone
Lying eeeeemptyyyyyy
A reeeeeeeeign incompleeeeeeeeeeeeete
Alooooooooooooone
For eterrrrrnityyyy
Of paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain
Without ceeeeeeeeeeaaaaaase
My horse and I spent hours becoming buddies and exploring got shot in Red Dead Redemption 2 and I fucking lost it! End game mode (how could this be a spoiler alert at this point?)
i have been saying since i was a child if i ever get married i will not be walking down the isle to the wedding march, but instead, aerith’s theme. and i stand by it to this day
Also very much agreed, there are some video game songs that really pull at my heart like a whole bunch from ff14 and one in particular from the xenoblade chronicles series
i have played them all and i love them all, but anything from VII, IX, X, XIII, XIV, XV, and even XVI gets me weeping. the 3D games just got me so much more emotionally invested

My GF probably wants a word with you about all the times I've belted out the entirety of Impresario in the shower, actually. 😁
watched my wife play thru FF10 after never having experienced one of the games, absolutely sobbed 😭😭 such a beautiful experience ✨

Dancing Mad
Aria di Mezzo Carattere
Searching For Friends
FF alone has a legendary soundtrack
then we get to stuff like Kimi No Kioku, Throw Away Your Mask, and Heaven from the Persona series
Even just great one offs, like the ending song from Slime Rancher, all perfect evidence.
(I don't believe this and I think it's a stupid argument but it is one I've actually heard)
