I think some songs only grow on me because they appear during a particular scene in a game or movie and I wouldn't otherwise have a pleasant association with the memory of the song.
I'm not even much of a Final Fantasy fan (including 7 or 8). I think they're mostly mediocre games. I just like the song. I actually do like 10 a lot, but I'm not particularly attached to any of its songs.
Disagree about 7, but most of the others and 8, yes, mediocre at best in a lot of cases. 9 is personally the worst for me because it was the most transparent that they were using the same melody and just playing it at different speeds or with different instruments for way too many tracks. Plus they stole one from 7 instead of making an original one. I liked a few of 10's tracks but per capita, yeah, nowhere near as many as 7's or 8's had.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
