In my opinion, Sugiyama composes the most beautiful classical music in the world. I love him!

[Belharg]

I've always loved this song, even when it was in 8-bit form... It made me cry even back then, but this is just breathtaking. Leading the atemko music into the shrine music gives this an epically tragic feeling that leads into a sense of hope.

[JimmyMimpson]

This is simply the perfect requiem. the first part has such a feeling of pain and longing as to make agrown man weep, giving the "mourning the dead" part of a funeral, but the second part gives a feeling of hope, assurance that the deceased is in Heaven (or Paradise, or Nirvana, whatever you may believe in.) This may well be the most beatiful and emotional piece of music I've ever heard.

[JimmyMimpson]

Wonderful... this is one of the few pieces that can make a tear come to my eye by musical merit alone, without touching lyrics. Especially 1:30 to 1:45 gets me every time, not to mention it's perfect for the scenes it's used in. This game's soundtrack almost single-handedly got me into classical music, and this game along with FFIV got me into old-school RPGs. Horii and Sugiyama are geniuses.

this song brings a tear to my eye! :')

[MelanTheCholeric]

I cried the first time I walked here

Firstly because the song is so sad

Secondly the majority of my party died by time I got here!

[lofinnell]

usally if i had a bad day i would play this music.

Koichi Sugiyama composes the best music! the music really shows how Sugiyama is dedicated to his work

[JanusHoW]

In Japan, video game music is serious business. I bet half to three quarters of the players here initially wondered why they were playing music from video games.

Then they actually started playing.

[Acazziah]

Esto es una obra de arte, no me cansa.

@brodiger It must have been cool to meet him and listen to the origional sound track of DQIX I bought that game about a week ago, the music on its great but it would be better if was the origional orchestral sound.
