One time I had a yearning, melancholic dream and I could hear this song playing in my head. Idk if anybody else feels it, but I go back to that place whenever I hear it now

I’m surprised my past self didn’t include Secret of Mana in the original post. It’s one of the saddest/most wistful soundtracks I know of.

absolutely agree, thought of

the past few days and cannot fathom how they decided to sign off such a wistful soundtrack and went through with it … otoh, would we remember this game the same way if it wasn’t for one of the Top 10 OSTs of its time :tarothink:

How’d Hip Tanaka make such a powerful song at the start of the Gameboy? Never have I seen such emotional square waves and never shall I will
