I'd really like to believe that I'm not the only person that knows that names of Squaresoft's top two composers by memory..... and somewhat how to pronounce them.  :rolleyes:

Nobuo Uematsu (I sure hope I spelled that right) is definitely a great composer, and really captured the spirit of every game he composed for in his music.  But I strongly feel that Yasunori Mitsuda was and still is Squaresoft's best composer.  Everyone knows that Chrono Trigger had an incredible soundtrack, and you'd have to be crazy if you didn't love Chrono Cross's soundtrack.  I found myself turning on Chrono Cross just to listen to the opening theme many times.  He also composed the soundtracks to Xenogears and Xenosaga, which both have really great music.

So what do you guys think?  Am I the only one that doesn't see why the spotlight is ALWAYS on Nobuo Uematsu?

Yeah, Mitsuda is great too. Chrono Cross has the best music, in my opinion. Uematsu is great though, can't forget him. Who composed the music to Bahamut Lagoon?

You know, I've never played Bahamut Lagoon.  It's one of the games that I never ever have even seen anywhere, so I really don't know anything about it.
