Back during the 16 bit days of gaming, composers were restricted to fairly limited sound devices, yet they managed to create some amazing tracks and are easily a part of why this era of gaming is so highly regarded. This specific showcase could easily have maaany iterations.
If you have any desire to download VGMs yourself, I would recommend using sites such as OST Project as well as the FF Shrine forums.

First things first: Amazing background for the video!
These are the kinds of Showcases I love you doing. This is what shows people other great games that are out there that they may not know about.
Could not agree more about the restrictions adding to the music of older games. Bottom line is composers tried harder then. There are too many fallbacks today that it's harder to be creative. As a musician I always try to give myself a challenge in writing something new.
Also, Sparkster FTW!

Lot of HVGN choices. Ah well, they were all equally enjoyable. That Soldier Blade seems interesting.

I like how most of these are obscure titles. It really opened up many new soundtracks I never explored before. Ninja Warriors? sounds awesome!

The best damn character out of the three was Kamaitachi! Fast and deadly!
