Well, whoever scanned this copy got it for a buck. So, that’s either good news or bad news, depending on when they bought it.

Week 2 is here:

It took me a bit, but I realized finally why I know the overworld theme for this game. In middle school/high school, I downloaded the “Love Will Grow” album off the internet (I’m pretty sure it was the only mp3 album I had at the time, and took up a significant portion of my hard drive). It covers various songs of the games as actual new songs, with lyrics, in various languages. I listened to it on loop for months. I think Eternal Wind was sung in French, and was very pretty.
Another standout for me was the FF6 town theme, which was sung in portuguese (then again I grew up in a portuguese family), and Home Sweet Home from FF5 (which is a certified ear worm). I didn’t even get to play a lot of the games that these songs were from for years after I heard the music. Heck, in FF2’s case it was nearly 30 years!
Ah, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjgqX5G6gs4 its got a bossa nova kinda thing going on.

Thank you!
This is my first time playing FF2 ever and yet I felt like the theme was SO familiar. It’s the exact same for me, FF Love Will Grow and FF Pray, both those albums are incredible!

Whelp, I never thought I’d find anyone else who ever heard those albums. 
They were pretty special to me but even other people that liked video game music had never heard of them.

I may have listened to them as well, but I was more into the rock covers at the time. There was this website called “radio blog club” that was an early music streaming website using Flash that was quite popular at least in France. I remember streaming a ton of FF music from it circa 2005.
Apparently the website got shutdown in 2009 after lawsuits. Not too surprising I presume…

The week 4 vocab list is ready in the spreadsheet. It’s only 1k char in total this time (and most of it is optional), so a fairly light week Japanese-wise.
