I thought he was THE Final Fantasy Composer, not just SOME of them.
Because I know for a fact he did 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 AND 10. And most likely 10-2. Not to mention other Square classics (listen out for familiar music from Chrono Trigger).
I'll be honest - He's good. But he has also produced some horrendous crap (Blue Dragon boss music? He must've been high or something). And there are bands WAAAAAAAAAAAY better than the Black Mages. I can name one right now (I was gonna put MCR, but they actually ARE shit, and not worth even the space they occupy).
All of you just go out and listen to One by Metallica or something. Then learn to appreciate cool music with meaning.
