      A lot of people don't realize that many of the composers who write music to these games are indeed real composers who work for video game companies. Koji Kondo is a perfect example.
      It might be a video game but the music follows the same rules as would a Beethoven music sheet does. Music is very universal.

    Let's be clear on something. If you are someone who has never played this game before...i implore you...no, i stress that you are missing out on something beautiful. Just a video game? yeah i know...sounds stupid to emphasize something so heavily. But.........we have characters who are so genuine and perfect, the soundtrack? christ, this rivals some of john williams' music in terms of tone, graphics? yeah whatever, you get the idea JUST fine with super nintendo. But, if you're here, you might already know all of what I just said. This is perfection folks, have a good look. The best game ever made in my opinion. Everything is there. (sorry for being lengthy)

    these "time wasters" for children shaped me into how i perceive the world today. every main hero from every rpg were my role models. Empathy, discipline, courage, dedication, respect, and resolve to finish what needs to be done. actually, it sounds like attributes adults SHOULD have. i guess whats why when an adult comes along with them, they're considered a 'hero'
