In this episode of PC-88 Paradise, I play the first ever RPG from Square (later known as Squaresoft/Square Enix and best known for Final Fantasy). This is often cited as the first game soundtrack by Final Fantasy music legend Nobuo Uematsu. But is it really? Let's find out!

Thanks to Ben for reading the Nobuo Uematsu quote! Here are links to his channels:
